So I’m assuming based on your vote that you prefer a gera flip, can you sell me on this since I’m finding it difficult to read him?In post 3048, Psyche wrote: if i do flip today maybe it'll provide a useful lesson about basing votes on vague idk feels

gera's summary of the difference between kjq's play in this game and her scum game with us is mostly accurate imo. she's mainly more confident in some key reads (e.g., naeyrs) but otherwise seems to post and play kind of similarly.You can't step in the same river twice.-

Have you looked at any town games of mine? I feel like that may be a more useful comparison.

this is where in my iso i start digging into gera. 2702 goes into the most depth.
gist is that he makes a lot of noise about sorting, a lot of complaining about others' approaches/heuristics, saying this or that is useless, unsubstantial, fluff --
but does little real sorting on his own and producing wallposts that only look substantial if you're not paying attention
all this makes all the talk look pretty hollow and performative in retrospect. i used the word "busybody" when you and i were discussing this earlier.
maybe most striking gap is in his positioning around ranger on D2
he never gets around to expressing even one read on the slot or on others' reads on the slot.
the closest he gets is expressed dissatisfaction with the idea of limming inside the game's neighborhood.
his excuse D3 was that he was always null about ranger (and everyone?), but we don't even see any effort to clarify his read on ranger that day.
mostly just drifting and drifting -- but performed as if not that.
lots of slots have drifted this game and avoided active work to clarify nullreads but gera's has signs of disingenuousness to itYou can't step in the same river twice.-

Hmm now that you say that, I think I do find it weird he wasn’t on board with the Ranger vote. Like, I get that I’m flip floppy and indecisive and paranoid but I don’t think he is. He’s much more likely to have voted Ranger, probably even out of annoyance because that day phase was…a lot, than not. So maybe this is indicative of something. Either that or I’m seeing what I want to.-

i worked out that there are much better players than me in every game i am in and i need to follow much more what they are doing. i don't jump the gun until i see enough info and facts that come through the game.
it is just infuriating that in this game, there is no info coming through. set up appears to have town having zero night actions! i don't think ive ever been in a game like that before! i kinda assume that town after like 3 days of half decent play can trap scum through claims. scum just end up nowhere to go. why i wanted a massclaim early on.
so yeah you are right, i never get round to expressing a read in this game. but i don't have anything to do that with. i said early on that i thought killing in the hood a second time was bad maths,that is about as far as i have gone.
i normally hope to just keep being as townie as i can as the game goes on and hope that at some point scum kill me.-

Thoughts on the frustration of having no night actions? I never once felt this way.
Dissonance between admitting not having reads and claiming they want to draw a night kill is present. Why would anyone kill a slot that had a poe of more than half the players left. You'll live, and I don't think its from a lack of conviction.-

It will not be voting for Psyche, it won't be voting for itself. Those are rule 1 and 2 for it right now. In that order, actually, frankly.This is the law, written in the stars and seeds: in the end, all things must fail. They are old as the stars.But not older.
And you, who have your human heart again, know all their secrets still.
This is the truth you will use to break them, to rend chains apart and set their prisoners free:no one else has ever loved this way before.-

I wasn't feeling very happy with the game state for a few days but the reread has helped. Lots of dave and ranger interactions. I'll score their interactions and one sided ones when I get home.-

gera's reply is a reasonable answer to the criticism that he seems to drifting around.
but i don't scumread everyone who's drifting around.
wrt gera, i specifically suspect a lot of his posts are performative and exist to mask that he's just drifting around.
i'd in fact disagree that he's avoided generating reads when he's had little to go on.
and on the other hand, i think his iso is missing not just reads -- which he says are missing because he has "nothing to go on" -- but also real searching for stuff to go on.
but yknow, maybe i'm tunnelling at this point.
i'll take a closer look at gera's iso and see if there's really anything left after you take away the "just drifting" critique, and highlight what i findYou can't step in the same river twice.-

(also the shift from "i'm voting for the top wagon no matter what" to "woah there partner i don't have a specific read on this slot but we should be looking off-neighborhood" still gives me whiplash, i'm typing this to remind myself of that for later)You can't step in the same river twice.-

Do you feel like, "feeling infuriated by the lack of night actions" is a real emotion a townie could have here, or is this fake?-
