Trust me if you don't have any tells a). You can't ever read anything b). You flake out because you can't actually scumhunt. Which has happened to me when I reject too many of what I view as scummy at a time. Your idea of a guide is just to achieve whatever ideal you like the most rather than to help new players get a decent grasp of the game. Also some of the advice is really useful, like a miller claiming as such after they get investigated is such bad EV that even if it is 'linear thinking' its bad.
Man, you misinterpreted everything I said so perfectly, wow.
My idea of a guide is to facilitate a new player into a proper playstyle that compliments them, and their personality.It is not to direct them into a playstyle most commonly used.The fact of the matter is that these guides are leading them too much into a generic townie playstyle when everyone's different in how they play. There is no right and wrong with playstyles as long as you are actively giving out your opinions.
Also I love the passive aggressiveness. Fuck off my dick if you can't say shit up front
I think he did say what he meant to say. I don't read this as passive aggressive. On the other hand, I see your response as ridiculously defensive.
So here's the thing. You don't like the guides that are out there? Write one of your own. This thread isn't very persuasive.
