Why do you fail at Hashmal?

Yeah from what I've seen you're generally pretty levelheaded, so I was surprised to see this topic coming from you, to be honest. (Is that weird to say? I lurk a lot and usually notice your posts 'cause you're also on Siren, haha.)

And again, I definitely sympathize with that frustration! I'm not really sure why people struggle too much with Hashmal, either, to be honest. I'm just kind of spitballing and/or trying to understand exactly who we're talking about. So, like, I think that progging Savage is probably a reasonable point at which to say "midcore" might start. But my question was more along the lines of "how do you know where the people who are underperforming on Hashmal fall on the scale?"
