Did you check the last game or are you just blindly trusting to get on a wagon here? | ||

Farrah why do you think the game is boring less than an hour after it started? That feels pretty ñonsensical. Things have to happen for it to be exciting, or boring. Deciding its boring on the 3rd post of the game is pretty weird. | ||

At this point I'm taking the short meta read at face value, assuming it's true and taking the attempt as a townie attempt to find mafia - one that has possibly borne fruit. So no, I'm not just "blindly" jumping on a wagon. I like this particular wagon for the reasons given and I like the person who started it, as indicated in my post. So in other words, you're being lazy and following the word of someone that you've never played with before about someone youve never played with before. Got it. Now if I go and say that I have a meta read on Eversince because as scum last game she just enters the thread and finds the scummiest looking thing she can and just hammers it into oblivion, which I think she could be doing here, what would you make of that? I want to see more than a short meta read on one person and no talk of other players before I even remotely believe she is town. | ||

I'm asking questions to flesh out my reads, since nothing else is happening for me to read/react on. Also, since you bring up my posting frequency, you should know that my activity depends heavily on what day of the week it is and how busy work is. I almost never have time to play on Monday/Tuesday and today is Sunday so I want to get the most out of my playing time today. | ||

And VE you claim a lot of people posted already so here's a list for you. Scott, Moosy, Breshke, nocturne, ritoky, Trfel. Half the game still hasn't shown up so saying "so many" have posted and i should have townreads is just discrediting me and my playstyle. And fecal has made useless posts. Disformation asked a pointless question about FF just waking up, as if its alignment indicative and a joke vote proposal on voting Scott. These things are early enough for me to find them null until I see what they actually do. | ||

They had filled several pages of the game with useless rambling. How can you even say I hammered it into the ground? I dropped my Kelsier read in the following night phase. I only held on to Moosy because his lack of content provided an excuse to my mafia self to chase after. I did play with Farah last game. You basically posted nothing for 80% of the game. She had an irreversible town read on you from early D1. So much so, I wish you HAD been mafia that game. Because if it had been you and not Vonthin, mafia would have easily won that game by killing Rels, and leaving you, Farah, and GB alive for lylo. Because Farah would not have voted you from D1 that game. I mentioned as much in QT about night kills because if Vonthin was left with Farah/Shining he would loss because neither would vote the other over him. Other than that point, I see nothing wrong with he's done other than ploy at a sarcastical comment I made an hour into this game. Which you point that he hasn't a need to make it. That's true. But don't try to say that I'm playin' my mafia meta because I poke fun early into the game. Then you disappeared and came back into the thread and tried to pick on me for "posting nothing" when I was actually posting and playing when I was around. I also singlehandedly won that game in triple lylo, thanks for reminding me. But I was referring to you trying to hammer me and Farrah into the ground for her TR on me. And you were scum with perfect information so that second paragraph is kinda pointless to read into. All I'll say is you're faulting someone for having a good way of correctly reading me. If you're town this time around, you have to accept that some people are going to be adamant about their reads on either alignment. Being wishy washy just makes you look scummy. That being said, this post is much more townie than the last one. So you have a meta read on Farrah. What are your thoughts on Viscera and his sheeping you? | ||

Sorry the doctors won't pump me full of so much anesthesia, while inflicting massive amounts of trauma, to kill me to do it all at once. Fishy. Meh feel better then.

Right now I've already mentioned that, while currently not useful, his post don't seem to push him either way. I haven't,and won't until I get a much better base on people, use meta. I do assume that a WHOLE BUNCH of people do. I've read a number of games on this site. I don't understand everything, but under the assumption that I found him in a few old games on the Team Liquid database, he is one who uses meta. On those standards, he's not done anything to make him tilt scales. Time will tell... But your scumread on Farrah is a metaread?? You said her gameplay here was a 180 from her gameplay last game, which meant 180 in alignment. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a clear meta read. So how could you say you haven't and won't use meta? | ||

You didn't have much of anything until D3? to justify her read on you. Why the 180 now? Because it was a lot of info and talk about a past game, which has no meaning in this game. Unless you're using it to try and meta her now. Are you? | ||

Just glancing at votes, not sure of the cases behind them, but if its true from the last few posts that this thread is dead so close to deadline, I'm thinking Moosy is town and Breshke could be, too. Has anyone really defended them? Feels like scum doesn't care who is lynched right now since there's no defending or pushing in the last page or so. I do find it interesting though that ES vote is still on Farrah. Did she ever explain why its still there? Last time we spoke she said it was "satire" and claimed it wasn't a serious vote and that she wasnt required to change the vote, even though apparently she didn't think she was that sold on Farrah being scum. But her vote is still there. Prob gonna check her filter and see if she came back again. So much to catch up on, bare with me >_< | ||

I wish VE was here because skimming through his filter, I still have my doubts about him over the early ES/Farrah stuff but some of his posts I cant find mafia motivation for so I want his thoughts on how EoD is shaping up. I kind of dont wanna lynch Scott just because of past games. Like I don't really like any of his posts, but I've felt that way before because of his activity and seemingly unexplained posts and reads, especially on D1, and he flipped town more than once. Maybe I'm just scared here. But off this game alone, he's on the scum side of null. It doesn't really feel like he's trying to figure out the game, I agree, but I'm not in much position to judge activity wise. Eversince is not here and still voting Farah. I really don't like it but what can I do when there's a medical excuse involved? And maybe I was nitpicking on her Farrah read, whatever, but I was under the impression a metaread is a read based on how someone played in a past game/games, which is what she did. But I'm not gonna beat a dead horse. Moosy martyring is horribad and he did in fact do this last game but he isn't voting. That's a modkill risk, anyway. I just hope to god if he is town he actually starts playing if he isn't lynched or modkilled here because if we have to carry that into D2 and I end up in triple lylo again, I'm blaming him. Farrah feels town, but not as lock town as I had her last game. The last few posts make me feel better about her, even with the switching back and forth on votes. I don't think scum is going to do that unless one is in fact her scum mate but she wants to apparently lynch both so idk. I honestly don't know what Fecal's done but he was lazy this early last game and ended up helping me figure out the game so idk about him. Null with a slight possibility of lazy town. Trfel has gotten a lot better since my initial suspicion on him, even though a lot of it recently seems to be centered on Scott. Disfo's waffliness seems to be off, although I can kind of understand his hesitance on me since he TRd me at first but had nothing to go off on me since I disappeared until now. But he's voting Scott now so idk if it's scum possibly bussing if Scott is scum or if Scott is really gonna flip town D1 again after this. TLDR I'd lynch Scott, ES, maybe disfo or ff but I'm really iffy on the last 2. ##Vote:Scott31337 Again this was super rushed and I know I have a lot of nulls/town leans but I had a lot to read in a little bit of time so I mostly skimmed filters. I'll be able to do a lot more this night phase and at work tomorrow if I get the chance | ||

Also looking at the EoN post and the OP, I kinda have a speculation here. Geripts body went missing. The vigs role description is Rroy Mustang, burns up a guy. VEs body was found. Am I wrong for thinking scum just told us the setup? I think geript was the vig shot(body disappeared cuz it was burned up) and VE was townread but not by all and inactive towards end of day. Maybe a medic dodge? Should I even be speculating on this? Lol | ||

That's why I asked if it was even worth me looking into. Regardless if Vig claims and claims who he shot, its moot...unless I'm right. Also if NKs are going by the same structure, the n2 NK would be typed up the same as n1 NK and we'd know which was the vig shot. But that's useless right now. It was just something I found interesting. | ||

These are half an hr apart. I'm not sure I like ritoky anymore. He mentions Ever not being around, not doing anything and wondering when he can start being a dick to her. And half an hour later he picks apart my admittedly ehhh EoD post but the last line is just. No. I don't want to self meta but I never believe anything strongly d1, d1 is the worst day for me, especially when it starts on a Sunday and I'm limited on time through most of it. But how can you question my scumread on Ever right after bringing up her uselessness and doing nothing and not being here? It doesn't add up. He also claims Farrah was bad for having regret on the Scott town lynch and claims he tried to get a switch. This is not true. He voted Scott 3 mins before EoD and voted Moosy literally on the hour at EoD yelling OGOD TOWN FEELS. This was WAY too late to get any shenanny done, it looks like he just wanted off the Scott wagon once he realized it was going through. As far as explaining his points vs my posts, he includes himself in the obvious townread pile. Geript flipped VT and I still think NM is towny af. I'm known for being wrong so if I'm wrong on any here its ritoky. And I don't understand how maybe 2 lines each explaining my read on geript, nm, ritoky is over explained. I didn't post an entire town case like he did on VE. ![]() VE also flipped town. It's bull to pick on my VE read there because I wanted VE to be there to talk to while I was there EoD. But he wasn't, which is why I said I wished he was around. So that is mentioning the activity dropoff. And sure it was a giant post but outside of the initial hard townreads, I left spaces in between every read. It's not that hard to find your name if you're actually town and reading. Scott? W.e I lynched him, I lynched town, sorry but I'm not gonna go too much into this. I took a chance, it didn't pay out, I was thinking Moosy could be town, I'm not gonna defend it anymore than that. Eversince yup because like you said useless and not around. The excuse can only go so far, especially since ritoky himself said he hates excuses. I'm sorry if I'm being a bit of a dick towards ES for that but with a wasted vote, no reads, no idea if she even knows or cares what's going on, it could very well be scum with no motivation becuz of irl stuff. Town Moosy did this last game. I had reservations. Not gonna re explain this either. I like the Farrah posts he hates. OK? I'm becoming suspicious of ritoky so I actually like that we don't share that read. Scott not trying to solve the game is strange because Scott likes to solve the game. Ya scumlean. FF was lazy af and didn't really do anything last game until d2 or 3. He was town. So ya town lean. Simple eh? Town Trfel is kinda like me, gets better as the game goes on if he's town. I want to reread him before I give a definite read on him because he posted a lot after my last post but its just as important to see HOW he was going at one of my townreads, not just that he was going at my townread. Scott flipped town. So now I'm more suspicious of disfo. The Switzerland bit is pretty funny tho. | ||

Why aren't you curious what exactly I'm suspicious about RE: you so you can explain it? And you started hedging your read on me because of my lack of activity and wanting to see reads from me.

It is plausible that what you are saying is right and that after his wagon was so close on D1 he felt the need to lift his game but I genuinly think his pushes are in the right direction. (although thinking about this now taking in what he did in his last mafia game it isn't out of his playbook to bus here). I think this is a good thing to keep in mind but he is solidly town in my books still. I'll explain this more when our Vig claims and says who he shot but if geript was shot by scum, not Vig, it would basically immortalize his TR on Moosy without him ever revisiting it because he's dead. He was 99% sure Moosy was scum before be flipped on him when he started trying. But the fire under his ass part, you're right about. I was referring to him having to step up his game because of the close wagon. Like the change in tone could come from either alignment. Town wanting to try hard after being given a second chance or scum wanting to try hard after narrowly avoiding a lynch. You're asking a lot of questions, wondering what you're gaining from the responses and conclusions? And if you think Moosy is pushing in the right directions, does that mean you think Farrah and disfo are scum? | ||

I might be somewhat new here, but from all the games I've obsed, I can think of a few decent reasons for the vig waiting to claim. I can't see any town motivation personally for trying to openly out the vig or any blue role for that matter. The Eversince comment is a bad one because you don't know for sure if she's reading and just choosing not to post for medical/whatever and may have just slipped a PM. Who knows. The ritoky comment is bad in the event someone tinfoiled (is that the right English word) geript and scum went bluehunting on VE, which would implicate a veteran, someone who might know VE's play to take a gander on him. You cannot eliminate that possibility. The ritoky comment is good, IMO, because he hard towned both VE and geript iirc. So why would he vig either of them? And his last post saying vigging either was dumb makes it moot since its pretty obvs he isn't the Vig then | ||

But it is interesting that Farrah knows VE was the Vig shot and hard claimed blue. If she were the Vig I don't think she'd be speculating on who the vig is, unless like NM said it was for a gotcha! Cc play. But its too early in the day and risky for it to be a scum play to try and save herself or draw out a blue. Idk I'm confused on this one. | ||

First point. Right I dont want to but I did anyway cuz I felt it necessary to point out. Yolo. And considering ES was one of the only players I had directly interacted with, it would make sense that she was the read I was most sure of. No I didn't miss that post and I won't go into wifom territory on whether scum ritoky would do that or not. The point I was trying to make is that he himself claimed he tried to get a switch. But he can't really say he did that when that Scott post and his switch were all at the last possible minute. It just looked like he said that to make himself look good. Skipping the fair enough. I agree with you there. But if Moosy is in fact town, then I'm more inclined to think the early voters that never moved are more likely scum than the vote switchers. Like if town is getting lynched regardless, scum has no motivation to move back and forth a bunch of times. So you think Farrah is scum then? I believe someone asked you before to show when and where your null read on her became scum. Can you do that now? What do you think of her blue claim? Yeah I'll get around to Trfel soon. I dislike ritoky for seeing what I see in ES then scumming me and asking why anyone TRs me for it. And misrepresenting himself as someone who tried to get ppl off Scott when there wasn't enough time for that to even happen. And I was finding him suspicious enough to revisit my townread on him. I'm not saying he's a full blown scumread but I do have question marks now. | ||

What made you think he was the best lynch then move to breshke? It's kinda funny tho becuz she was this obstinate last game too | ||

His dislike of geript would've made him shoot XD that's why he's so adamant about saying there Vig claiming doesn't matter, since he feels no one really suspects him right now.

I still want to lynch ES, waiting another phase/day for mod action is a horrible idea, as ritoky pointed out. I'm also a lot less suspicious of ritoky because I agree with what he says about Fecal not wanting to play or put real effort until he's under pressure from Trfel and in a world where he's scum, with his questioning and interactions, I'm having trouble even seeing a possible team with him. Not sure what to think of Trfel, I don't remember him being this angry or determined to put in effort as scum when he rolled scum with me, think it was Student V. Could be frustrated town, and although he has defended and pushed off of Breshke, it's not like he hasn't done other things, as well. FF is in a weird place for me. Like I said, I agree with ritoky's point about him not putting up a case or trying until he was under suspicion but again, last game I was with him, he didn't do much of anything until D2/D3 so I'm not sure if that's a tell or not. I remember feeling like Breshke was just asking questions to look active and he also missed a post and his response was pretty defensive("haven't you ever missed a post?"). He also said he was looking to get reads as the conclusions from his questions, but he already had disfo and Farrah as scum. Farrah, who is now Damdred, who is un-CCd vet. Disfo who's waffling is questionable at times but from skimming his filter, he looks like he is really putting in effort into this game and without having a scum game to refer it to, I'm hesitant trying to lynch an 8 page filter with actual reasoning and lines of questioning. Idk I guess I'm down to lynching Breshke or ES. Maybe FF? But I'm so paranoid about that, even though Trfel's case was pretty accurate. What bugs me is the conclusion at the end of Trfel's case doesn't outright say "FF is scum." Oh right. NM cased Trfel. But the case felt very heavily based on narrative and leading questions to push, when I feel it should be more based on what Trfel has done to be scum. But I still think NM is town and he's got a team of Trfel/Breshke +1. I feel much better lynching Breshke over Trfel. ##Vote: Breshke I'm going to try to be around at eod tomorrow but it happens literally right when I get to work, so the best I can probably do is phone posting an hour before. And I'm still very much so wanting to lynch ES to get rid of the question mark but I'm not going to waste my vote on her if no one else will. It could very well be that her RL stuff is a lot to handle and she saw her role PM and didn't have the time or state of mind to play as scum. | ||

I just clicked on ritokys filter and saw this. That's a lot of sentences for a lot of ppl and a one liner for Breshke becuz he doesn't have a townread? Feels strange. Damdred you said ritoky doesn't look like he have any hard pushes. What do you think about him voting me D1 before switching to Moosy(unCCd Vig now) and basically softing me all game? He said he doesn't understand how people have TRs on me, voted me D1, asks people about me, still has me in his lynch pool up until now, but he has never pushed me. Is this town ritoky actions?

Idk Breshke was really pretty much the lock lynch. Trfel not bussing and being adamant about FF is suicide if he's scum because it just looks bad. I also like the point he made about no one doing anything to get off of Breshke and onto FF. Scum didn't try to save Breshke. At all. Unless it's inactive ES and Trfel but I really do think ritoky is scum. And now that disfo pointed that out, that's twice. Ritoky didn't find it weird I was voting with him d1. And he voted with FF d2. I just looked at Breshkes filter, too. It's pretty bare, not too many hints there. One thing I did find interesting is he had little to no interaction with disfo but his 2 scum were Farrah and disfo. I think he may have spewed disfo town. | ||

He also, like ritoky said in that post, backed off of Damdreds claim. But he seemed really adamant about the Vig not claiming. I can't think of any scum motivation for Trfel to do that. Even though it made sense and helps town to have the Vig claim immediately, it feels more townie than scummy to tell him not to. I'm taking Trfel off my poe. Oh and look. I AM still in ritokys lynchpool. Ritoky and 1 of ES/FF. Damdred and Moosy are blue. I have a really tough time finding mafia motivation in any of NMs posts. I think Breshke spewed disfo town. Trfel likely frustrated angry town. That's what poe leaves me with. | ||

He also treated me differently. He said he really didn't think I'd flip scum and Moosy was a better lynch. He never looked like he was willing to lynch me until I was inactive. If me and disfo are same alignment, why would he treat us differently when we were under suspicion? Bah | ||

And where exactly did you try to lynch me? You voted me, then moved onto Scott then Moosy. But when you swapped off of Scott for Moosy, even though you think I'm scum, you never once found it weird that I voted with you on Scott before you swapped. And you didn't comment much or at all on geripts Breshke case d1. You also tried to get Trfel lynched over Brshke before switching over. So if you're gonna try to get me lynched, you think I bussed Breshke? And during my small time here the night before EoD, me questioning and making Breshke frustrated was what? Orchestrated in QT? My pressuring him and calling him scum and asking about his Farrah and disfo reads have what scum motivation exactly? | ||

Another question for ritoky. If FF is still in your doodoo pile, and you never dropped your suspicion of him, and even hinted that FF could be bussing Breshke, why did you feel it necessary to say this?

Probably the most effort you've put into a post up to this point. Noted. Not fooled though ![]() I wanted to push you for being bad and omgus on d1, sure. You picked on NAI shit to try to scum me, which is bad and knowing my alignment, made you bad af to me. I don't see how it's opportunistic tho when during Night 1, I started suspecting you BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DID. So no, you're wrong. Disfo even had to do a point by point response RE: you to make me think I could possibly be wrong. The Breshke lynch was also 0% yours and you left yourself open to 3 other lynches, 2 on inactive at the time(me and ES) so I don't know how that makes me any worse than you. In fact, you tried to get people onto Trfel INSTEAD OF Breshke before giving up and going onto Breshke. So where I had suspicion and ended up voting him, you tried other lynches before going onto him. Breshke defending my townread? Because this isn't his first game with me, dude probably didn't want to poke the bear because I'm a completely different player as town when scum tries to say I'm scum for some horrible BS reasons, like you did d1. Remember that Trfel, Farrah, disfo, NM all picked up on some town vibes from me D1 so are they all scum for it becuz Breshke is? Lol no. Remember when you decided you were okay with lynching the same afk that I've had a hard on for all game? I do. Pretty fun, too. Why the hell would you be OK with lynching my first scumread if you think I'm scum. Bad bad bad. And if everyone kept defending me, maybe you should've actually tried to case me and give reasons why you think I'm scum instead of just defaulting to my activity, which is completely NAI for me. I said YOU DIDNT COMMENT MUCH. Reading comprehension. I'm glad you could find exactly 2 posts with as many sentences to explain your discussion on a case. I also questioned where Breshkes limited questioning was going in thread because it felt like nowhere and I was right. The dude afkd the thread after talking to me. And geripts case IMO was more right than wrong, even more so after D1 but no one revisited it until later. With Trfel, its also a stubborn play and suicidal af so I doubt scumTrfel would ever do such a thing. But you scummed him for it and had to be talked down from it. I also didn't have to move my vote, it was placed squarely on Breshke who I was suspicious of for a while. Congrats on doing so before me, it doesn't make you town. You can try to rain sulfur on me all you want, mate, I'm not scum and therefore acid proof. I love how in that big ass post of yours re: me, though, you spent more time explaining what you did and why you did it as opposed to why I'm scum. | ||

Damdred asked disformation to explain his read progression on ritoky. He basically goes from town, to town, to worried about his drop in activity, to town. Similar with me, except for me he had a lot more worries and wanted to see me town up the thread.. I was also on his poe, but the most town out of the 4 he had there. Then I start suspecting ritoky.

Your reasoning just now makes me also think you are very town, on top of being uncc. MD is also uncc and constantly pushing ppl he thinks are scum, although I feel his reads do not change much and he fell of D2. My role PM tells me I am a VT. I just excluded Trfel from my PoE cause his play makes a lot less sense as scum. So unless Eversince is a PR and either MD or you took a HUGE risk in fake claiming there are like no options left. I also think out of those 4 The Shining is the most town and am still willing to give him a day to town up the thread.

And haven't like all other new players subbed out of this game so this is basically a 0 newbie game? I can see being swayed. Idk, maybe...it is just hard for me to see many new players have the gusto to suggest lynching themselves immediately. And he was very quick onto breshke...also kinda quick off too. Iirc this is his 5th or 6th game? So that does make sense. But if he were scum, it would be his first game. This is def reaching but you never know if he was overwhelmed by rolling scum and took a gambit with suggesting we lynch him. That's not something I can ever tell or prove tho. Like, his waffliness only makes me waffle on him so hard. It's a vicious cycle. =/ | ||

If we ignore ever for the moment because she obviously missed the entire day rather than consciously voting off wagon AND we go with the trfel is hard aligning with scum and therefore not scum, there HAS to be scum on breshke's wagon. Which leaves shining and ritoky and disform. YUCK Or you =D What if its one bus and one off wagon? | ||

Will probably read their filters again tomorrow to make sure. Could the game be stupid and really simple with a Breshke/Trfel/Onegu team? I mean everyone else(except me) has good sized filters and points where it looks they're trying to solve the game. When the game is this hard, it kinda makes you wonder if it is actually this hard. Where is Trfel at with reads? I just ate dinner, feeling kinda lazy. FF is still his scum? Who is the other? | ||

Also Breshke defending Shining doesn't really make Shining mafia, he can't control what Breshke does. So I'm on post 1469, where ritoky is posting to Shining. Two things I'm looking at closely. #2 if I remember the timing right Shining not playing at the time cited wasn't alignment indicative since he doesn't play Mondays and Tuesdays. I wasn't sure at the time if ritoky was just ignorant of this or if he didn't know about that and he was just voting people or putting in a lynch list he wasn't sure of. Him fighting with Eversince for being under anesthesia doesn't mean he's mafia though if you looked at the reasonings why. The excuses aren't mafia in of themselves, but why he voted him over Scott, who knows. second is another reason as to why this setup reason is why he's backing off Trfel. But most critically is that post when he tries to push Trfel over Breshke and he says "Trfel has done scummy things, Breshke has not done anything." I backtracked to when around the time ritoky "gave up" and decided to vote Breshke based on the FF case. He asked Trfel about an hour after he made his post pushing Trfel for a list of reasons and that was before he read the two cases. Well the point of Breshke "not doing much of anything" was effectively in Fecalfeast's filter when he said "this filter is random, I want him to explain" (post 1287) and that was the long case on Breshke. But the real issue is that FF's case on Breshke was on day 1 material. When ritoky pushed trfel day 2, his pushing Trfel day 2 was based on "Trfel doign scummy things nad Breshke not really doing anything" with that activity on day 1. Why did it take Fecalfeast casing Breshke for ritoky to actually make the conclusion he did on Breshke when the material wasn't new and it was the same material at the time he was pushing Trfel that made Breshke less mafia than Trfel (in ritoky's view)? That gets me. It actually makes sense for Trfel to even comment what he did - Fecalfeast pushing Breshke? "that's the easiest push in the world." So Trfel suspecting Fecalfeast actually makes Trfel less mafia (for me) and makes me question why ritoky actually didn't try to lynch Fecalfeast (or push him) if the case's material/basis was for material that didn't make him suspect compared to Trfel to begin with. After all he liked Trfel's case on Fecalfeast. So that doesn't add up for ritoky. Committing this post to memory. | ||

That's 4 incorrect reads Trfel has had and 3 at the time when he tried to push Fecal. You would think he'd be a little hesitant and less confident after being wrong 3x, no? Why so confident to the point that we are all bad for not listening to him? Also his read progression on disformation seemed odd. He defended disfo early, even claiming he had the longest filter up to a point in the game, and didn't discuss disfo much at all afterwards. There was his push into Farrah. Then disfo ends up on his "look into" list with Fecal. But no real discussion of disfo, just a case on Fecal. And disfo is now on his poe list with Onegu and FF. But he never really discussed the ES/Onegu slot except to say ES was impossible to read. | ||

##Vote: ritoky I've been at the emergency vet since late last night, my dog caught an allergic reaction to something and almost died on me. Haven't really had much time to read or play. | ||

What I learned from this game: I really need to trust my reads more. I had Bresh off of one interaction, my doubts on Trfel, and I poked ritoky pretty early. I need confidence lol. Gg town and pleasure playing with all of you, post game and replacement stuff aside. Kudos to me for another small town filter with a few accurate reads =D | ||
