This is why it’s called a gambit, of course there is some risk to it

Funnily enough, gambits are generally some of the first openings you learn about in chess

#42

why do you think chess and reaction tests are words that both mean the same thing

#43

The thing you play is 4d chess, that’s a bit outside my realm of expertise

Pretty high risk. You got modkilled almost

#45

Also depends on the time in the game because mafia might want NK dead at that time so… it might not be alignment indicative

#46

Also it only worked on me because I didn’t read the thread. I mean if I did I would have known you were Town since NK wouldn’t have a green check on them since who would fake it

#47

Nah

I rode the line but didn’t cross it

#48

Removing a message is crossing the line. modkill able offense

#49

I edited it and then edited it back

#50

That’s never been modkilled for before

Just harshly told don’t do that again

#51

Most ballsy play that I’ve seen lately in this MU match where a PR claimed VT when they were wagoned. This basically made sure that they survived until n3 while I was correctly reading them as the Empath the whole d1.

It really shows the skill level difference between the players there and here where you get people hardclaiming over a single vote.

To be fair though most people have come from a background where your claim is the most tangible source of reading someone as scum/town. So you can understand where they are coming from and most people I’ve seen come through do manage to adjust and improve their play here and in TOL as a whole.

Even so much as developing their own play styles such as Priestess or Kape

That is galaxy brain

#54

Galaxy brain is Alice not rolling scum that game :^)

#55

I rolled scum and won by deepwolfing to the F3 lol.

Basically, same thing that happened in Ashe’s Mountainous game happened here.

#56

I’m still sad I lost that

#57

Smart bussing tbh.

#58

Yeah, the F7 were me, Raiden Mei, Limestone, Thunnal, WaywardSon, and Viggorous. The last two were mechanically clear and I was basically outside of everyone’s PoE. So I basically won the match right when I killed Transcend, especially as many people were thinking that my kill on Marl cleared me via SHC.

In between my tone, the fake clear, and the fact that I bussed both of my team-mates nobody seriously thought that I could even be a deepwolf lol.

So you’re proto bus-driver?

#60

I usually bus the weaker members of my team.

In the Mountainous game Wazza was clearly not going to last long after his entrance, so I decided to bus him for town cred.

In the Empath game Bobby’s first vote was just wolfy as hell and Insomnia is one of those players that have a wolf meta that shows themselves way early which is why he got to 4 votes during the RVS. Neither of them would have gotten to endgame so I decided to deepwolf to maximize my chances.

I only bus if I don’t think a wolf has a chance of lasting until the endgame.
