Popular Post Gone Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 Generating content isn't necessarily a town trait. If scum just sat back they'd have no influence on the lynch target at hand and would be at the mercy of town's decisions (for better or worse). It's true that it's easier to nudge along a misguided townie but scum push mislynches actively just as often. Drums walked in as votes were piling on Jvill. He took a stance of the voice of reason, going on about how Jvill as town is a valuable player and how he's not going to rush there. Wondering if this is a classic whiteknighting scenario. He uses Barry's lynch in a previous game as a way to dissuade the speed lynch on Jvill. Jvill, imo, reacts well and questions him about taking a different approach to him in a previous game. So brownie points there. Then he makes a point of how Jvill's train would be an easy train for scum to jump on (interesting assumption considering we don't know Jvill's alignment). This is trash, really. If this lynch went through I don't think anything could be derived from it irt alignment because the reasoning behind it has nothing to do with this game. Scum could opt to get on the train or stay completely off of it. Suggesting otherwise feels like building a false narrative. Plus this is post flip conjuncture. Can't analyze a train without knowing the alignment of the player that got lynched. I would have maybe believed that this came from a good (if misguided) place if he had a town read on Jvill and actually went through all the players on the train and explained which seemed clean and which he was leaning dirty. But he threw that statement to fish imo. Eventually he votes Ballin out of the bunch with no explanation. Later he nudges Kdles for a clear cut statement that he hasn't watched the show. Saying he's laying the ground to be inactive. Which to me seemed pretty ???. He follows that up by saying that in a game this big he'd expect scum to lay low. 2nd wifomy statement that has no legs to stand on. He asks Ballin what his strategy D1 is, but doesn't question him about his vote switch. Then asks Jville what he thinks about the people voting him. Then he follows that up with pointing Jvill specifically at Ballin, asking him what he thinks about Ballin switching votes from Pac to Jville. When Arsis foses him he defends himself with wifom (3rd wifom use). ie says scum wouldn't put themselves at the front 5 pages into the game and would rather hide. I certainly don't hide as scum or town, and I can say as much for a handful of other players. Overall pretty weak sauce. Mostly he lands on the standard "yo bro, I'm just generating content, getting reactions." But I don't really see him deriving anything from it. He questioned Kdles irt his op but didn't really come out of it with any conclusions that I could see. I expected him to question Ballin irt his vote but he didn't. He offers wifom based assumptions that will only obscure the game rather than benefit it. Later reads wise he says he think Jvill, Gata and Lizzy are prolly town. And that he likes that Kdles voted him after I did. Which is a bit of a head scratcher for me but okay? Even though I'd like to watch 80 bleed out of all of his orifices, I think Drums is out of his depth and should prolly hang. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains well why I feel something is a bit off about Drums even though his play is ostensibly similar to his last few games. The early defense of me seemed out of place and looking to position himself within expectations. I don’t have as much of a problem with the pushing people for reads/framing stuff. I’ve seen him do it as town multiple times now. NAI for me. More of a concern is the defense against Arsis. The first post defending was fine, the second post was as you said extremely WIFOM-y about how scum would try to play, and reads as unnecessary/overly defensive. Also, as I explained, I don’t think the point/defense he was trying to make really means much with respect to his style of play specifically. I could move here, but I’d like to identify another competing train first. If it’s me that’s fine but I’d like it to be at least gameplay related as we’re starting to get into the weeds here. What’s your read on Smash? Dropping in late to place a vote on the leading train with no explanation, bemoaning that others didn’t get unspecified info from running me up, and then not addressing my question of what he had hoped glean from my train has me thinking he’s a solid second option here.
