I liked Mara's early push on Cephrir. The target in and of itself isn't really that special, but the way she went about it seemed good to me (mostly the whole gearing up for a push and then completely letting it go part, that felt nice). So generic, if you're getting an early townread on Mara based on her initial posting, we're probably in agreement.-

Give me some time to work through it. I may be off base, but Nati also thinks Nacho is looking scummy.In post 351, Cephrir wrote:I don't feel like there really is that much anti-Brian sentiment flying around?
If you want me to step out of your line of questioning, just say the word.-

I don't think Brian has a tendency to look weak early game. I thought there was clear motivation in F-16s opening to stay alive to sort out Nacho-scum, and I thought that it was strange Brian immediately attacked that, especially considering the mentor mentee game that recently ended which proves F-16 can read me pretty competently.In post 350, geists wrote:Specifically I'm seeing parallels with how in Buzzword you jumped on the weakness in orcinus' entrance and encouraged/supported others' reads. At least with orcinus it was a genuinely off entrance. Brian's initial posts almost always look strained and uncomfortable.-

Yes? Cabd forming a town block with himself in the center early game doesn't exactly seem like something that's unlikely to be coming from Cabd-scum. Why do you disagree?In post 355, geists wrote:

I think I've since explained this adequately, but why didn't you ask me why I thought Generic was town? I have not explained that adequately to date, and in fact it was so weak that I no longer feel that way.In post 336, Casso the King of Seals wrote:

In those terms, because of stuff he's not doing. We've talked en hydra about what is different in his town vs scum machinations.In post 357, Casso the King of Seals wrote:

I think Bro reads deserve caution, but I dunno. Maybe I'm seeing stuff you aren't, or vice versa. With town-Nacho, you're usually ahead of me on reads.In post 358, Casso the King of Seals wrote:I also didn't have a good townread on BRO until about two pages ago. What do you think of that?-

Discuss.
I asked you about Brian because the read required him not picking up on F-16 town, which seemed strange.
I didn't ask you about Generic town because your answer wouldn't figure into my read on him much/help me out with my read on you at all, but I probably should have. Why generic town and why don't you feel that way anymore?-

I didn't question it in thread, but I damn sure got buldermar's take on it in our hydra discussions.-

I still think BRO deserves caution, but his "meh I fucking suck at large games" seemed a lot more honest than any BROscum play that I've seen. It's more about what he's not doing than what he is doing!In post 363, geists wrote:

Probably. But I'm assuming the people who questioned me were simply bad at gambits; I would expect Brian to see exactly where F-16 was coming from.In post 367, geists wrote:

Eh, I think I liked 33, (and incidentally, later on, 83 and 92), but it wasn't a big deal. I changed my mind because it just wasn't nearly enough for such a blanket statement. I think I wanted one more person to call town because I was trying to make waves with post 39.In post 366, Casso the King of Seals wrote:

Correction: ffery paranoia is my thing sometimes, except when it's not. I think I'm roughly 50/50 on calling her obvtown vs. being paranoid for 2-3 days. The best correlate I've noticed is the volume and density/length of her posting."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

Well...like...that just isn't how you're supposed to play this game! I don't think it's especially telling about any of you but it makes me squirm uncomfortably anyway.In post 371, Casso the King of Seals wrote:
