Pokemon Battles 2 - Attack on Giratina [GAME OVER]

[Ranger]

my takes are hipfire shooting

So're mine.
I fancy my quickdraw skills more accurate than yours. :P

[Ranger]

i don't see how wheme or patch are at all different from a normal town game of either of them
it seems pretty identical to me that they are playing like townselves. Does that 100% mean town? No. But what the hell are u even looking at that puts them at strong or even lean scum

Their posts appear +scum to me, matching what I believe players like them do when scum. Scum players mimic their towngames. I've no reason to believe they're not attempting to here (and specifically Wheme, I feel is failing).

[Ranger]

i heard pokemon went down in quality a lot when it went to 3d.

Eh, depends.
It went from 100%able casually, to requiring dedicated playtime. (You could beat Red/Green/Blue/Yellow comfortably within a week, 100% comfortably within a month. Come 3rd gen, you couldn't.) It gave many QOL changes, and clarified a lot of previously-hidden mechanics, making them public. Yet, it introduced more hidden mechanics, keeping them hidden.
Most of the best pokemon were in the first two gens, too.

[Ranger]

Yeah but 2d sprites are superior

Agreed.
The newest generation of pokemon's genuinely Uncanny Valley at times.

[Ranger]

only wheme could call me scum and then turn around and ask me to give him his vote. classic

Not my interpretation.

This loosey goosey Ranger is scaring me.

I'm always loosey goosey. Casual tryhard, casual snark, casual advice, casual chats. Playing a hobby seriously defeats the point of playing for fun.

Difference between your perspective now and previously is you're actually town needing to sort me genuinely.

Hey ranger why am I scum

Because this doesn't feel like you as town. Vibes somehow very off.

Are the vibes A tier at least instead of S tier

[WhemeStar]

I don’t know what page kittys catchup is but would u like to talk about that when you get there

[Ranger]

Honestly, I just put the people who made me laugh at the top of my townreads.

…wat? Really?

Well, start of this game, yes. Genuine humor's an RVS towntell. Doesn't persist once real content hits; it's better than nothing to start.

[sheepsaysmeep]

no please put me back I'll be better

[Ranger]

I don't see why that's surprising. We're in day 1 of a huge game.

Yeah, none of my reads are strong on D1. WhemeStar/patchwork are my current top picks, yet even they aren't strong.

Yeah.

Doesn't affect my stance on both.

I like the top wagons.

Voting the smaller of the two's an interesting choice.

[NorwegianboyEE]

why am I dropping it makes me uncomfortable

It's like we're all looking at Rangers reads list like a scoreboard.
Cheering when someone goes up and booing when someone goes down.

We could make some nice gambles out of this.

[Chandra Nalaar]

20 pokedollars says sheep is higher on pg. 80 than he is now.

[Ranger]

Any mason claim from Ranger or FA is a joke until d3 or so.

Did you perhaps mean a different player?

[Ranger]

20 pokedollars says sheep is higher on pg. 80 than he is now.

Well he already moved up, so. :P

[KittyTacky]

I still think Cakes is scummy for that dummy question and generally isn't doing very much.

VOTE: SirCakez

WTF why are people still hung up on the training dummy question?

Because it really seems like a slip?

people said I was fishing and now it's a slip? wtf?

The case for it being deadass fishing really pinged me.

[KittyTacky]

y'all i feel like this day one has been insanely long and deadline is still over 10 days away

ikr but it's been a long time since I was in a large theme.

[KittyTacky]

Tbf, I suck both alignments and then have 1 or 2 moments of 'genius'.

Saving up some much needed brain energy for day 2 or 3.

Same here, I often get run up regardless of alignment.

[KittyTacky]

Patchwork has requested replacement

Aw man I liked them (as a person, the slot seemed a bit townie but unremarkable).

[KittyTacky]

Ok if we're going to talk about activity, is time to go all in about it.

Lack of activity is not scummy, but pretending to be active is. Y'all have to understand how the game works in a big game like this: there will be scum trying to control the narrative of the game, sure, but they can't make their partners be better at it magically.

How much scum members will this game have? Let's assume 5 to 6 just for quick meassure. Let's say I'm scumreading FL. Do you think it's optimal to go after him during D1? In mafia you don't aim for the head with your first shot because you'll probably miss. You get closer and closer and aim for the limbs so the head is easier to shoot.

Who would be FL's partners that you could go for? Metens with their 7 posts? Sure, they could be, but it's a wild lucky guess. But the actual sweet spot is between the middle, players that would be happy being at the bottom of the postcount list but feel the pressure to not be there, and that are actually not contributing at all but just hanging around.

VOTE: KittyTacky

Good riddance, and see you at the endgame when I get to speak again after I get nightkilled for being right.

I'm town.
