It's catch-up time again!
Unvote
Won’t have much time to get to this until Monday. Still chewing over my thoughts on WCD. [Fang, Joth, Scola, e, MiX, math] are the others outside of WCD that I’m feeling off feelings for due to one thing or another. I know that list is pretty big, but it leaves EFHW, Swowl & Gkrieg as being more townie than not to me right now, and that’s at least something for me to help calibrate.
This is a great non-list of potential scum! (At least you do admit that, and note that it's mostly just saying your 3 town-reads).
I have no idea how useful or accurate my own reads are. And so the only useful data points for me so far this game are how people are reading me (and obviously flips, people's previous reads on them and votes for them... okay, so I guess I mean the data points I'm looking at currently, and the present time in the game, while still being aware of these past things).
fang has probably expressed the most consistent scum-read of me this game, and he's not on your "safe list"... but EFHW and Swowl have recently expressed similar thoughts (I don't remember where they were D1). gkrieg on the other hand has continuously stated he is town-reading me, with varying levels of confidence. So of the 3 you trust, 2 think I'm most likely scum and 1 thinks I'm most likely not.
From my perspective, this means EFHW and Swowl (and then also fang) are either mistaken, or think I'm an easy enough misexile (not saying partners... some could be one and some in the other category). And gkrieg is either correct in his read, or he's scum and this read is just part of his play. Confirmation bias comes into play for sure here, but I am tending to trust gkrieg's other reads more at this point, and am not putting much weight into the reads from the others (in reference to the influence they have on my own reads of people).
I know I've taken Galz's post on a bit of a tangent in the reply. But the "safe names" really stuck out to me, and then the diarrhea of tangents of thoughts that it started just got typed out as they came!
