ok so implosion
i think i just started feeling off about him bc of disagreeing with some early takes and how he framed them
the confidence felt performative on some of the early reads. after refreshing my memory on how he plays town i don't think this is out of character for him though. maybe it was the fact that he commented on this that made me think he could be overcompensating with it but thats pretty weak. stuff like the last paragraph of
338 just pings me pretty hard
stuff like
357 is quite towny i think. in a way that he's probably capable of faking, but he does this all game. it's just the kind of post that doesn't really advance scum wincon much at all beyond making himself look townier (which it does exactly bc it's a pro-town post)

799 i forgot about this post but i think it was a big part of my scumread. the vibes are just not great. the like... "andante i don't understand what you're saying ://" and then trying to engage with the thought and assign logic to it just feels like... scum keeping themselves busy, i guess, bc idk what this is really going to accomplish
his push on dunn early d2 was good
his takes on ceph vs skitter were pretty good
i think p much everything he's done since i replaced in is good
i don't think my reasons that i had for scumreading are very good its basically just "he COULD do this as scum" but there's really very little if anything that i wouldn't expect from him as town
i think he's just town
