Chess - Game Thread [Concluded]

[Csargo]

Morning, I haven't caught up at all.

Lol@csargo suspecting me.

You started it.

[Kagemusha]

It just a gut thing at this point, in regards to pizza, I think there's decent potential for pizza to be mafia. I can see why people are town reading him though, he's playing very similarly to XCOM. I don't think it's the same though, so I have reservations.

This is what Manasi does as scum and probably as town.

I can't read El Barto well.

Choxorn for low posts, can't get a read on him. Same for Xiahou.

I feel like logic is different from XCOM, but I need to iso that game and see.

I'd much rather eliminate people with less posts this early in the game tbh. I can get a much better read on the non-bolded people going forward, less so with the others.

Csargo. What do you think about Cuth?

[Csargo]

Csargo. What do you think about Cuth?

I don't see the reason to vote him, I'm not seeing what GH/you are. This is pretty standard Cuth imo, I don't see anything out of the ordinary from my skimming of the thread.

[Slaan]

I find myself agreeing with most of what Pizza says and getting solid town vibes from him.

Of course, given that this is Pizza, I'm not going to place him in the "definite town" column unless I get a 100% Truescan Reading on him saying he's absolutely, totally townie, and even then I'm still going to have some doubts.

Ok thanks for the answer! :)

Oh I think so too.

Csargo feels like mislynch bait.

This is exactly how I’m feeling right now.

[Dp101]

Can’t believe there’s still another day until this phase is over. I’m glad that phases will become shorter later.

@Logic come play

[Winston Hughes]

choxy so conservative.

Where's the juice, choxy?

[Winston Hughes]

@Manasi

How scummy does pizza look to you?

Could you flesh this out at all?

Any kind of reasoning or examples of stuff that's pinged you could be useful.

[Winston Hughes]

The blowback confused, suss of Pizza for doing what he's doing feels almost concerted and deliberately obtuse to get the early discredit on him. The style is atypical, but I don't feel the content is atypical. (The one game I've played). Interesting how quickly the stance was backed off. I do have an issue with his town read of Rein, but will get into that later.

These suspicions still kicking?

Well, that was a completely normal reaction.

What was this referring to?

[Kagemusha]

I would have liked more pressure towards Cuth. With this miniscule amount of information i feel Logic is the best lynch. unvote and vote Logic

[Winston Hughes]

Three scenarios, ordered most-to-least likely by my estimation:

1) pizza is town and correct about Logic

2) pizza is town and wrong about Logic

3) pizza is scum

Above questions re. pizza are due diligence, in recognition that pizza is better at getting townread as scum than as town (esp. on D1).

So far this game, besides the Chess RP, has been essentially a carbon copy of the XCOM game D1. It's just weird is all I'm saying, could just wait and see what Jowy/Logic flips. The RPing stuff bothered me as well, because it didn't seem all that insightful, just sort of in your face, far less good-humored than ATPG usually is idk. Just think his game feels off a bit to me.

[Winston Hughes]

unvote

Don't want Logic hammered tonight.

[Kagemusha]

unvote

Don't want Logic hammered tonight.

Why?

[Winston Hughes]

Why?

I'd like to hear more from some people before the flip.

[Winston Hughes]

My level of confidence in pizza's towniness and his read of Logic is a new sensation.

I want to prod at it before it's either confirmed or questioned by the flip.

How did you feel about pizza in the XCOM game?

[Kagemusha]

I'd like to hear more from some people before the flip.

That sounds reasonable. Who are you most interested to hear from?Also can you help me out with Cuth's style of playing. Is he usually someone that focuses on the game or just riding along?

What's the likely hood that pizza is scum and logic is town?

What's the likely-hood that pizza is scum and he's bussing his partner into the ground?

Why did you ask zack?

Pizza is a known busser, but given it's D1 and he's leading the bus, he and his partners individually don't get any advantage (since Pizza would have to die tonight).

This could be possible if Pizza is planning a 180 or the discovery of an urgent new wagon and abandons the Logic wagon. But it would happen so fast it would only be evident retroactively.

[Winston Hughes]

That sounds reasonable. Who are you most interested to hear from?

People who harbour suspicions about pizza. Anyone who's got them would do well to post them before eod.

Also can you help me out with Cuth's style of playing. Is he usually someone that focuses on the game or just riding along?

Despite having played a fair few games together I don't have a clear meta on Cuth's style.

The main thing I've found consistent between games is his inconsistency within each game. He'll be waxing hard scummy to me, then flip it right around with a moment of keen insight or a burst of plausible mindset progression. And then go right back to looking scummy again.

[Winston Hughes]

What's the likely hood that pizza is scum and logic is town?

Is there a subtlety here that I'm missing, or is this just poking fun at my stating the obvious?

What's the likely-hood that pizza is scum and he's bussing his partner into the ground?

I'd say no chance at all. The only way it could be true is if pizza's whole purpose this game was to one-up me in the bussing-for-victory stakes.
