Haha I put Toony in my would-eliminate list and now I'm starting to rub him the wrong way. Oh man I am so dying tonight if Toony is scum.
I probably kill Max tonight if I was mafia.
I'm a pretty emotion based detective. What I mean by that is I make my deductions based on feelings and intuition. Obviously I can form logical conclusions, but that's not how I like to catch scum. A player like Fluffe strikes me as someone that needs to evidence or hard facts to make deductions they're confident about. I can see that angle. I think you're the same way NQT.
I think that's why you made a post earlier comparing past BYORs with nonvoters and the statistics of who were scum. That part is fine. What bothers me, and drives me as a detective, is I don't get the feeling you're using your evidence to really find scum. That's what rubs me the wrong way. Maybe Egan is scum and your logic and vote are completely valid, but it's these actions that make me suspect you harder.
Or like, how can you write a big write up about three players voting habits and then not realize I was voting someone? I'm willing to give this more of a pass because you missed a ton of stuff as town in FBYOR5 and I value meta rather highly as a player, which Jim supports and Hector is dismissive of.
I’m not dismissive of meta reads as a concept, I have them myself - I actually have some agreement over Tric’s behaviour - but I also don’t think that they shouldn’t be the main justification of a series of reads.
I’m probably not going to explain it very well because today is the first day in two weeks I have some responsiblty for a baby and it’s difficult writing posts while trying to make sure they’re not trying to put bad things in their mouth, but here goes.
From my reading of Jim’s case he is reading Tric as not scum because of meta - fine, I agree - but because FoU does not agree with that he seems to be going way into confirmation bias territory by citing games in which Tric was scum and not acting like this to support his view, and then games in which FoU was scum and acting like this, when games in which FoU was acting like this and wasn’t scum are also available, and games in which FoU was scum and acting differently are available too.
I’m needed elsewhere so can’t do what I normally do and try to clean up the post for clarity but… I mean I don’t know if it’s of value to clear it up, but if anyone needs it just ask.
