I don't think much policy related thought needs to go into dueling. The more arbitrary rules and policies we try to enforce, the more rules and policies scum have available to hide their actions behind. Let the game flow naturally as to counteract unnatural reads brought on by unnatural/arbitrary policies.


lol, clearly this town ain't big enough. that much is already apparent

Those first posts are a bitch to write, aren't they? Way to say nothing!

What do you think of yamato and cora?


I'm not willing to commit to a read on cora yet. Nothing he's posted so far is all that alignment indicative, coming from him. As for yamato... maybe slighty town? I disagree with the logic behind nearly all of what he's said so far but he's acting in a townish manner.

Iamp could be scum. All he's done is drop off a town read and comment on how useless the thread is.

Its not scummy, its just not alignment indicative as oh good plan = town.

so Oats, why so scared to attack marv?

In this statement, I meant that his policy post is not alignment indicative.
I still think he is scummy, but that post isnt a reason why.


I thought you said you didn't like his policy post.....

anyways....

so the reason you think he is scum comes down to rudeness? is that the full scope of your read on him?

This isnt rude in the sense that you are shitting on him for being a bad player, its rude in the sense that you are poking fun at him for having bad reads.


I think you're reaching pretty far to make this point. I really don't see the distinction between rudeness and politeness you're suggesting exists, nor do I see how it relates to his alignment. I don't expect marv to adhere to being either rude/polite as town/scum.

I know I should really shut up about Yamato but:

Why are you guys getting on each other for having such early town reads and not get on Yamato for having such early scum reads?


townies are suspicious and it's very easy for them to come up with a scum read. scum know who all town are so it's very easy for them to give a town read. giving nothing but town reads = lack of suspicion = scummy

Yeah I think iamp's scum. I can't feel the townie thought process behind his posts and his explanations are short and dismissive.

You seem to know him quite a bit better than I do. Please explain to me how this is different from when he's town?


His town is similar to this game (i'm not familiar with his scum meta) but in this game, he doesn't really seem to be trying to contribute. He seems uncooperative. Also, I don't like how liberally he's been throwing out town reads, especially when those town reads are backed up by extremely simplistic explanations.

idk i didn't read themed.

*****

I just read the first few pages of his filter in themed and he is helpful in that game despite not always explaining reads. In this game, I get a "fuck off don't question me" vibe from his posts.

hmm I actually agree with you about acro

He's been playing something like a peaceable negotiator.. he's entered several conversations but he takes very neutral sounding positions. "Peaceable" meaning not willing to take stances and call people scummy. He's been mostly arguing logic and the scum reads he gives are pretty weak.

For example this post:

Oh come on Marv. I miss shit like that all the time as town and you know it.


the fact remains that you basically haven't done anything this game except attack iamp, and you've done so under false pretenses. I have no real reason to think of you as town right now


False pretenses? That's just one of the several reasons I'm suspicious of him right now. I think he's scummy due to his his nonsensical Thrawn read, as well has him name-dropping Dieno.

the answer is snarfs or dino man corazon.


Also, this post in general is really scummy in context. Why on earth is he answering a question for Corazon? In fact his posts right after that suggests that he's suspicious of Cora at point:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=398360&currentpage=12#222

The thought-process makes no sense. He's suspicious of Cora, yet he's willing to answer questions for him? Nope.

for someone that has played a ton of games with me it seems like you are puzzled by my actions.

dont get it hapa and this is still the only thing you are doing is commenting on me.
If this is what you plan on doing all cycle i think you have to be scum.

your tunneling of me for no reason other than you dont like some of my reads.

explain how any of my actions are scummy

am i afraid of the spotlight?
am i interested in lynching scum?

you havent done any of that and wont comment on anything else despite saying you have more material.
maybe your just bad at scum hapa


I'll admit you're getting better with the "spotlight" and "activity" thing.

Though answer what I posted above: why were you answering questions for Corazon?

because i felt like it.


Fuck it that a town iamp response if I've ever seen one. Time to look into some other peeps.


Iamp's last scumgame was GSL 3, about 4 months ago. Since then he's played quite a bit of town. Do you really think this one easy sentence is enough to proclaim him town?


That "I'll do whatever the fuck I want" mentality is town-iamp in a nutshell. Also, his activity is vastly-improved from when I started off on him. So it's a combination of the attitude that sentence purveys and his increased activity.

But he's had that attitude all game. Thrawn thought he was scum for it, you think he's town for it. I have no clue, I'd say he's playing pretty similar to the start of CT, where he was town, but I thought he could be scum. He is aggressive and doesn't give a shit.

However, the reasons I doubt him are still the same: he gives no reasons, isn't forceful about his reads and has this post:

Why do you think town will? As far as I can see you're the one in the thread being retarded so far, so if it does it'll be because of people like you.

Like I said, the last thing town needs is someone like you playing the hero.

The last thing town needs is a bunch of people yelling at each other to duel someone else.

But whatever, do what you want. I'm only going to duel someone if things go bad, which I think they will. If they go your way, good, but I doubt it. Town is rarely that cooperative.

meh you just haven't experienced many good towns im gonna guess

mafia will be under pressure from this setup im gonna guess since time is on our side. And looking at the player list some of the better players will likely be town so we will be able to sweat the mafia i would say

This post is pointless, but a suspicious mind might think why even bother bringing it up? How does Iamp know that good players are likely town, rather than scum?

I don't say anything of it is very conclusive, but given that you and thrawn reach different conclusions based on the same meta, one of you must be wrong and getting some more info on why you think the meta makes him town is important.



That's a lot of words/thoughts to write without coming to any real conclusions.

He's got an inconclusive read on iamp, and says one of hapa or thrawn might have extra information they're using to make differing meta reads on iamp. Since hapa is calling iamp town, thrawn is calling him scum, that means that the only scenarios where that original statement makes sense is either if hapa is mafia and iamp is town, or if thrawn and iamp are both scum. But Acro doesn't mention any of this....... I suspect because he hasn't actually thought through it to realize how silly it is. It doesn't seem like a real read that a townie would have.
