So, the time for pressure to feel things outwas earlier.. There was a bit of an opportunity for it today, but we have to get our kills right now and it's harder to get a real wagon going on someone new if people aren't really feeling it. That's not to say anyone that isn't you or Bunny can't be pushed, just that it realistically has to be a big one.heartthrob24909 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 5:25 amPart of where it's felt most natural/appropriate for me to plug in so far this game is my stating my observations and asking questions. As opposed to being able to provide concrete reads (though I have been trying to do this when requested).ghug wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 5:10 amOk, I read all of that and still have no idea who you think the scum are. It sounds like you townread rd, so throw him out. How do you order the other three? What about Macca and Bunny?heartthrob24909 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 5:04 am
This is fair. I'll admit that part of my personal issue here is that it's been tricky to try and project personalities onto some of you this game just by virtue of now knowing you/your playstyles.
I consider ghug and worcej to generally be my blindspots/people that I feel neutral about. I really do wish I could be more helpful but what would be valuable to me is to see how they react under pressure.
All of damo's numbers talk has felt like smoke and mirrors to me but I've gotten the impression this is just what he does so I haven't pushed when it feels to me like whatever he says is just made up. Maybe personal preference here, but even I'd put more weight in a "gut feeling" read than an analysis which says I am 42 percent likely to be scum.
Rdr is my strongest townread of those 4 names. He has come across all game as articulate and logical and I haven't found much from him to poke into. His name is on the list for completeness and because I think it's generally bad strategy to totally rule someone out.
What I lack in experience with all of you and with the game (didn't know what crumbing was until a few days ago), I am trying to make up for with fresh eyes that hopefully can ask a good question that will maybe get a more experienced or more comfortable player thinking in a different way.
I don't necessarily think that sorting people into scum/town is always the best thing to do because it can lead to confirmation bias. Sure, I'll tell you I townread rdr because you asked me, but I don't think I really mean that.
I think that's what I've been trying to get to in wanting to put pressure on different people. The Chaqa/Temasek/Heartthrob scumread has stayed pretty static for a couple rounds now and the town's gotten it wrong twice and if they don't change how they're thinking about it they're going to get it wrong again
Your explanation for your behavior is plausible, bit it's also very believable that you've just been hesitation to commit because you're scum, and that makes you at the very least hard to read.
