Sorry but am pretty sure this is just a case of mr man not being willing to accept that women are just better at things
Also, this is really just playstyle. I would almost never focus my top scumread in games. I almost always dealt better with scumreads by seeing how they reacted to things when I wasn't openly scumreading them and was leading them into things to get the behavior that I wanted from them. I basically would consistently ignore my top scumreads in order to push other slots either looking for partners, checking my blind spots or just testing how my scumreads will treat stuff. Don't think any good comes from mandating for people the one way they should play.
hehe :p
i bet i can reverse parker better than u :^)~~~~~
i think this is still focussing on your top scumread, just in a different way - you're looking for partners and you're trying to lead them into mistakes/testing their reactions
don't get me wrong, i'm big on people playing to their personal style. i mean more like, trying to pressure more than one slot at a time or trying to push a lynch on different slots than what you're voting. in my experience it's just not as effective and people aren't doing it for a good reason (i consider your reasons good, and it's one way of playing) - it's more that they get sidetracked, and that's what i'd say you want to avoid, and why the general rule of vote your top scumread and focus your top scumread is a good way for people to play
also yeah i'm pretty direct town and so for the most part i vote where i'm pressuring/intending to lynch. i change it if i change who i want to lynch. even in RVS i'm willing to push my wagon all the way to a lynch if i see no reason to change it or they respond badly
ALSOOOO: guides like this are always for newer players or less effective players. anyone who's decent or experienced won't really need to be told how to play and 10 experienced people will have 10 different opinions. i just like to discuss this stuff :^)
