Jesus H, Max, I have rarely seen you make a post with so much wrong in it.
In reverse order:
Jack’s first post of the game was basically “I’m not going to play this game”, which is entirely pointless, and frankly ticked me off. I tried to get him to play the game, even asked him who I should vote for at one point, all for naught. The one thing that really stood out for me was he acknowledged that he shouldn’t rely on his playing shite to be townread. If a player is aware of their meta to that degree, does that meta cease to work as a means to read them? Abso-bloody-lutely.
I never once said Tric was scum on D1. I had him in my scum reads at one point (and even said he probably shouldn’t be in them at the time!) solely because you were brown-nosing Jim the entire day, and I had huge issue with Jim’s reliance on meta to read Tric, then getting upset with FoU for disagreeing with that meta read, then meta-reading FoU as scum to justify it.
Your petty pride is not and was not my problem. See above on my thoughts regarding EJ’s panicking meta, which we discussed at the time.
As above again, your petty pride is not my problem. I did not challenge you to a game of chicken, those were your words, not mine, and I never acknowledged that game once. What I acknowledged was your strong read on EJ being completely at odds with whatever nonsense you were pulling at the time: as you have made abundantly clear, that game of chicken was between you and your pride, it had nothing to do with me. I said the 42 minute thing because, as we both know and as actually happened, things could very easily change over the course of that time. Consequently, whatever game of chicken you were playing I wasn’t even expecting to matter before that 42 minutes was up.
Further to that, we now know thanks to Lenglon via KW and FoU/Egan, that the scum teams are probably aware that there’s another scum team they need to deal with, so scum!you may in a more traditional game have had no reason to move your vote from a strong townread, but it doesn’t really move you toward your ultimate goal of winning the game in this one. You’d need to hit scum just as much as town do to win this one bud.
I will acknowledge that calling you a coward was emotional, but that was because I was pissed off that somehow I was getting pushed toward being eliminated, and was expecting you with your balls of steel to not falter in your own personal game of chicken.
I wasn’t casting aspersions because I was genuinely curious what was up there… but now I’m not so sure.
TL;dr
EJ is aware of their meta, so meta reads don’t work on them now.
I said Tric was scum maybe all of one time D1, as an associative read of Max and Jim who I felt were scum.
Max challenged himself to a game of chicken with himself and lost.
Max claiming scum!Max wouldn’t be bothered about eliminating a strong townread doesn’t work in a game with two scum teams because he would need to eliminate the opposing team as much as town.
Huh, maybe I can do brevity after all…
So yeah, I’ll get pissed off for no reason to and suggest maybe another idea to explore is Max and Jim fakeclaiming as scum. They’ve already found the other team, might as well get their biggest town problem out of the way by taking out the biggest voting bloc.
