[SzmarzLeek]

lol I just read the queue changes

this is the last newbie game ever

new players will simply go to normal/open queues now

we historical now fellas

more pressure for us

[Cook]

this is also why i replaced in

[Cook]

now i'm trying to make the right call with barely any time to do it

[SzmarzLeek]

we have the time

I wrote my bachelor's thesis in 72 hours

you can find one of 2 scum in a group of 5 in 36 hours right

[Cook]

this is more difficult than that because your bachelor's thesis doesn't lie to you

[SzmarzLeek]

yes but I lied to my thesis supervisor

[Cook]

how

[Cook]

also is hem scum

[SzmarzLeek]

it's likely but I'm getting paranoid

[SzmarzLeek]

I started considering THS but then he posts stuff that was literally in my mind

like that Cook is probably town

and then notices that everyone suspects HEM so partner could be bussing or scum is manipulating us and we should reconsider

that's literally what I thought before typing it here

[Cook]

had you telegraphed you were thinking those things before you were about to post them?

[SzmarzLeek]

no, I wanted to talk to hem first

because if you're town, then why isn't hem pushing your lim to win

some I thought: maybe it's Smiley + THS

that's why I approached hem today

but he doesn't look good and THS does

[TheHoldSteady]

woah you're right

i forgot we're in limlo

Your vote pattern compared to yesterday suggests you knew that its ELO

[TheHoldSteady]

no, I wanted to talk to hem first

because if you're town, then why isn't hem pushing your lim to win

but he doesn't look good and THS does

What can be proven here? Bad scum don't just kill two PRs night-to-night. Scum here are playing well. I think that's pretty much provable through the night kills.

It's why we can't get too hung up on partner tells here. Because if you think scum can hit two PRs but can't effectively distance, that doesn't make much sense to me.

What can't be proven is pretty much everything else.

It's a tough game. I've been at this for almost a month, have wanted to second guess myself at times but I'll stick to what I think is accurate and if I'm wrong, well then its a learning experience for next time

[TheHoldSteady]

Why doesn't everyone go ahead and rank who you think is scum, from most likely to least likely.

I'll say I think HEM -> Smiley -> Cook -----> Leek

[TheHoldSteady]

So if there's distancing where is it occurring?

Do you think Smiley lecturing HEM for not engaging in scumhunt enough could be an attempt at distancing?

[Cook]

i don't think leek and ths are buddies

i see hem as likely scum. sd1, ths, are next, leek, myself, in that order

[TheHoldSteady]

if Leek is scum he's just king of emotionally towntelling and we just lose

Its 2/3 for me between HEM, Smiley & Cook

[Cook]

if Leek is scum he's just king of emotionally towntelling and we just lose

Its 2/3 for me between HEM, Smiley & Cook

hence why i'm so reluctant to SR. we may just lose if that's the case.

[TheHoldSteady]

you think he could be scum but if you vote him we just side with him and vote for you instead? Is that what you mean?

[SzmarzLeek]

hard to tell

I'd say HEM -> Smiley -> Cook -> THS

[SzmarzLeek]

Scum here are playing well.

the thing is: if they are playing so well, do we really have them cornered?

[Cook]

????? what are you saying

i don't see it

likely

that he's scum. i am reluctant to scumread him. if he is actually scum, just as you said, we're playing against someone far stronger than us and we keel over and die.
