Also because of a general feel of townieness I got from him, like he was really trying to work through things instead of just trying to seem like he was working through things.

He says one thing, and 10 seconds later he says something entirely different. I feel he has made it his sole purpose to be as useless as possible this game and throw it in our faces. I don't see any reason why a townie would play like that, so he must be scum. I was asked to compare this to Kush in Smurf. There I get the feeling he is trying to find scum. Here he isn't. He was also about 5 times as active in a smaller, shorter game. Shoot on sight. blegh terrible. | ||

Strongandbig Koshi Vivax I already did SnB and Vivax yesterday and my thoughts are in the thread, but there have been some new observations from people, as well as some activity (at least from SnB). Will redo and update. @Clarity: as I said, I looked at Rayn's filter in Titanic and it is bountiful. Please tell me what you think is so similar to his play here, because I don't see it. @Mocsta: you have no fucking clue how SnB's scum meta works, so why are you giving him a town read based on meta. Your meta read is entirely wrong... and I want you to either explain it in detail with examples, or I will assume you just made it up. Scum-SnB is timid and doesn't push his reads AT ALL. The only exception I can think of is how we went up against Oats in Sicilian (think it was Sicilian), which he almost certainly did to emulate his town meta at the time of policy-calling-Oats-scum. | ||

That is your main problem with rayn is it not? btw, snb just said his scum meta is to push oats, and now acro just said his town meta is to push oats. I don't believe in either one since that would be a terrible thing to do, push one person consistently as a particular alignment, but why the difference? | ||

Im not proclaiming to be an SnB expert. I hate the guys play, and he hates mine. But in all the town games i played with him; he has honed onto oats like a homing missile. Personality 2 rings a big bell. Anyways, my original read on SnB I don’t get the early plan role thing. But whatevers. Hard guy to read cos of low give a crap factor. I think hes town personally. Cant really pinpoint why though. Overall; I just don’t feel hes been pushing anything… hence town. I already explained to someone else why i said pushing nothing to me was town. It was a personal heuristic, not an SnB one. Regardless, in Sicilian I the memories I have is that he was constantly pushing a mislynch even in death (e.g. the whole SK thing).. so perhaps his general scum meta is to be timid, but i was judging him off the scum snb i just played with 1 week ago. Im also not sure how much I buy the whole oats love story cos showing mindset in night 0.. I have to re-read that whole "redacted" shite, and double check how snb handled the oats/yamato lynch but thats tomorrow too tired gotta sleep. To me, Vivax is still a surer lynch. | ||

He has 6 pages of filter day 1, followed by 2 per cycle after that. Steep dropoff in activity. I still think that's a decent argument but it looks like the only scum games he's had since newbies where he didn't either replace in or replace out d1 were nuclear winter, where he did fit that pattern (only 2pp of filter per cycle, replaced out) and british empire, which was instant majority and so you can't compare filter lengths. That said I only saw one town game of his where he played like this (red team, 5pp of filter d1, 1pp d2 then lynched). Other than that I went through bastard mini (6pp d1, 5pp d2 then game ended), themed game (9pp of filter d1, then 12pp between d2 and d3), and ptp4 (9pp d1, 7pp d2, then got dayvigged d3) all of which show a much smaller dropoff in activity than this game. so he's matched this rule in 1/1 scum games that i looked at and only 1/4 town games, odds are pretty good here but it's not the slam-dunk numbers argument that i think it would be if his scum games had a larger sample size. | ||

I don't believe in either one since that would be a terrible thing to do, push one person consistently as a particular alignment, but why the difference? I actually misremembered PTP 4 and thought he was calling Oats scum for being disruptive and dumb, but he was calling DI scum for those reasons. So ignore the bit about pushing Oats as his meta regardless of alignment. The main point I was trying to make wasn't about Oats, it was about him not really pushing as scum. However, looking over his recent town games, just ignore meta entirely... at least my assessment of it. In PTP SnB got modkilled for inactivity (and I could have sworn he was scum, as I said before I died in the game, and insisted on it in obs qt afterwards). In NWM he got endgamed (by a scum Oats, I might add, lol). I would have called him scum if I was in that game. My calling SnB scum is thus not very trustworthy: I used to be able to read him back when his scum meta was to do fuckall and his town meta was to share good reads and push people he thought were scum. Unfortunately, his town meta lately is to play exactly like his scum game. What I DO know is that if Mocsta is representing SnB's meta as "pushing" people hard, he has no clue about SnB's playstyle, regardless of alignment. | ||

##vote strongandbig I'm putting my vote here for now. My general thoughts on the game as it exists right now is that I have too many town reads. I've been saying this in PMs for awhile though and despite numerous run throughs of these town reads I still end up town. Very unsettling. There are probably 4-6 scum in this game, with or without a 3rd party, and I'm having trouble placing them. There are also too many people who evoke just a general blah or ambivalence feeling from me. One of these is s&b. I don't have an especially strong feeling towards him, other than the fact that he has been pretty useless I could also lynch Vivax today. I revisited his posting, and while it struck me as townie, it is not difficult to look pretty town in short controlled bursts. The difficulty is sustaining it. On July 09 2013 03:36 Vivax wrote: 4 pages of filter. Your effort is amazing. Oh yeah right you're busy, so am I every time I play scum. Mocsta -- you claimed that you wanted to see more from Vivax, and knew he was legit busy. When he finally came back to the thread, his posting to me looked town, yet you drew scum from this, in addition to his earlier posting which you presumably had already processed. You've talked about it some, but can you explain in a little more detail? | ||
