That's fine. We don't have much meta with eachother. You should suspect me in this spot. I townread you for it.

Lol this would read like absolute jibberish to people unfamiliar with MTG.

protocultures wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 8:06 pm pretty sure it was Alison who was describing that sometimes they like to get scrumread at start of game and then climb out of the hole they dug for themselves as some sort of challenge. Might also be toitally mistaking that for another player. Cant 100% be sure it was alison. If it was, someone else can probably confirm it.

Open wolfing is also something Alison would do as mafia. It is also something they would need to do as actual mafia since they do it as town for balance reasons. You either dont understand this logic, or you do.

I have seen tutuu be more towny when town. She is not lock town to me at the moment. She in POE with everyone else.

No hard town reads or scumreads other than Alison atm.

Joseph prides himself on being good at mafia. He currently thinks I am mafia. Gonna omgus and lean Joseph as mafia here for scumreading me. Not as direct omgus, but more based on the fact that he should be able to read me as town. Granted I havent been very towny, but even so.

This post itself likely to get me more scumread. oh well.

Game is easier if I am scumread because when everyone pockets me as clear town, the game is harder. OMGUS to find the mafia usually isnt a terrible strategy.

People have stated reasons for townreading nutella?

this doesn't sound true

if I am scum and my scum buddy has a strong entrance and everyone townreads them I'm going to be like "oooh, this person can go deep" and nod my head and agree with the townreads on them

based off of my w/w read with alison (nutella calling alison a boring poster which i perceived as aggressive and uncharacteristic of nutella, and alison not fighting it back the way id imagine u fight back someone calling u that)

independently i have no idea how to read nutella and i wanted to townread alison

I don't understand how it makes sense to be like "I'm going to focus on looking for townreads because I think scumreads have a low accuracy rate" and then make this post.

i feel like this post is predicated on feeling like the word boring is a lot more insulting than it actually is when you actively expect someone with my meta/personality to get deeply offended and fight back just because nutella offhandedly mentions it

tier 1 deck wins against deck whose only good point is that it's cheap to craft on MTGA?

say it ain't so

It's hard to say tbh. I think of anyone here I have the best idea but I wouldn't trust my meta all that much.

The first time I encountered 112 was in champs last year in the qualifiers they were town and they had as much wim as anyone I'd ever played with. Sharp as hell, unafraid to ruffle feathers. We had a town v town war. I've never seen that 112 since so I think that it's unfair to scumread her in the absence of that meta.

The second time I played with 112 they randed wolf and deepwolfed very well and got to f3 in the champs semi last year where they bested me and Vanity after I got myself into kingmaker. In that game their wolfgame was typified by being unafraid to vote for and even eliminate partners. They would have been scumread more if not for flips revealing that 112 had pushed partners. By the end of the game there was evidence of 112 having cased and voted on each and every single partner. One notable thing was hammering their teammate Evenstar while 112 and I were both in the thread laughing at how outed she was. 112 just lolnoped and hammered her when really I wasn't even that convinced she was mafia.

I think the two aforementioned games are probably 112 playing town (and mafia) at her top form. Since then by and large I have seen 112 play near identical as either alignment. Mostly surface level reads. Significant periods of no content. Doesn't really care when people scumread her. Just hasn't seemed to have near the wim as either alignment. I understand a lot has occured for 112 personally since champs last year and I think mostly 112 feels like they can't afford to get themselves that immersed in mafia for their own sanity frankly.

Hope that helps.
