Micro 675: Heroes of the Storm uPick - Game Over!

[Dunnstral]

I think you guys are likely to be town, bork is towny, and had good feelings about syryana

seiko pretty scummy, aj slightly scummy

charloux idk

obvious alt is flaking

[Dunnstral]

shadow pretty scummy too

[The Oxford Bubbles]

Why is SXN scummy to you?

~ Raven

[Dunnstral]

Kind of awkward

And I can't tell what posts are from pieguy and what from notscience, but it seems like they're all pieguy? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I've got a theory that the more lopsided a hydra's posting habits, the more likely they are to be scum

shadow pretty scummy too

Just throwing shit around?

not in play here; ns has been inactive for 6 months and i think probably signed up for this game under duress (aka pie asked and liked the playerlist but couldn't find the time)

[Dunnstral]

I was asked for my reads.

[Shadow_step]

What's the reason?

[Dunnstral]

Uh, just a feeling? I know you like to act like you should be obvious town but you haven't done anything to indicate it

That's some really precise wording btw

I don't like act like anything. I know I'm town.

[Charloux]

This is where my mind is atm
Town- Bork
Townlean-Dunn, Seiko, Syryana
Null- Shadow, Obvious alt, Aj, TOB(Looks town but i have a mental blockade when i'm dealing with hydras)

[Shadow_step]

Explain your Dunn town lean please.

[borkjerfkin]

Dunn/Bork are my 'explicit' town reads. IDK S_S well enough to have a read, but I'm comfortable with what he's said thus far.

He's expressed a scumread on you that I feel like hypothetical-town-you should think is a misrep of both your position and your lack of a follow-up (212)

Why are you comfortable with that?

[borkjerfkin]

In fact you followed up in 214 asking about it, as far as I can tell he never answered you, and you're comfortable with the slot in 237

??????

[borkjerfkin]

As it stands I think if either of AJ/S_S flipped scum I'd probably be really comfortable going after the other one; their interactions definitely do NOT preclude them from being a team.

AJ for his unexplainable lack of anything but the most superficial engagement on S_S's suspicion of him and then dropping it.
S_S for in turn scumreading AJ but going after Syr.

I also pointed out 143, which as I said earlier would make a scumflip from S_S more damning of AJ.

I don't have a huge scumread on AJ outside of everything I just posted but I'm not really at a point where I know what else to pursue and I have double the posts of the next highest person so me posting more isn't going to positively affect the cadence of the game

VOTE: AJ

Also replace obvious_alt TIA.

This is definitely a reason to go after AJ and not S_S today; if AJ is town this says fuckall about S_S.

Because arguing over verbiage isn't my thing. "Why is it a PL?" "Because it is. He hasn't posted." That's literally the only helpful thing that can ever come from that conversation, so why bother engaging in it? Honestly, having no answer is completely fine here because

this line of discussion is a waste of time.

Shadow makes literally eight other posts (not picking prod in that) to look at in that page. Do I care that he's poking suspicion at me? Not particularly. It doesn't end in a vote for me but has a vote for someone he claims is scummier. It's natural enough. There's actually quite a few more reading me as a scum lean, Dunn among them who I also town read.

Jesus. You'd think I've played this game enough to not buddy a partner in such a stupid way.

"Why bother engaging in it" indeed:
Why ask about it at all if you didn't care about the answer?

Besides, you asked why it

wasn't

a PL, as that's the stance those two were taking, which implies they'd have answered with why they thought what S_S had posted up to that point

was

alignment indicative. "He hasn't posted" isn't something they'd have answered with and that should be obvious

[Aj The Epic]

I felt my response to S_S "How wasn't it a PL" was fairly obviously rhetorical, as I explained my premise immediately after.

[borkjerfkin]

What were you trying to accomplish in 214 if it's not illustrating that you think S_S is being disingenuous about the question or attempting to engage him on it (as you didn't care about the answer)

[Aj The Epic]

Basically tell him that I'm not taking the bogus of 'it wasn't a PL'. Like I really don't think there's another answer to it. In most cases I'd probably go "and Dunnstral is being scummy for suggesting it" but I'm convinced that it was a stupid move in this case, not a scum one.

Though it seems your dragging my want to not talk about the semantics of a PL through the mud.

[borkjerfkin]

You're also aware that he

had

posted before then, right? Just not very much.

[Aj The Epic]

Did he?
