multiple times against, same alignment, and as a hydra. Difficult to verbalize but I don't see an agenda, a lot of their posts look like doubtcasting at face-value but they read to me as a genuine thought process and critic.

It's also connected to my
Rad
townread and their interactions. In my opening page, I commented on their interactions their and the initial read stuck, especially with
Rad's
communication towards me.

As for
T-Bone
, a lot of it is disagreement with the assessment of
Bell
, but I'm a biased party as a PT partner. So I thought to watch how that read progresses without my commentary.]
i kinda lowkey like this guys? i dont think scum would think past face value stuff..? does that make sense? like i feel like scum would be more likely to just jump on something if it seems scummy at face value.

Whatup, haven’t read the past 40 or so pages and probably won’t do so anytime soon, instead I’m just gonna mindlessly back whatever Marci wants to do bcuz she seems more invested and we were actually synching quite well when I was actually paying attention to events

I mean I lean town on him so I think he's fine.

Trust me, I get the impulse when someone does something bad directed at you. It's something I fight all the time, not always successfully. I don't think you can objectively look at it since it's directed at you.

In post 1944, Frogsterking wrote: and I appreciate, and I appreciate Cor going into the topic during your time off. My main takeaways are an increased skepticism on Puppets level of motivation to solve in this game, a slight town lean on the Cor slot, the danger of conflating probability with statistics (and I need to review the definition of random events), and the point how scum v scum wagons might be more common than I've been giving them credit for.
A couple examples that help: Assuming your skill doesn't change, your free throw % in basketball, statistically, approximates your expectation of making a free throw. Each event has a non changing P, and the history of it reflects that.

Conversely, if 10% of the people who take a test for thyroid cancer test positive, that doesn't mean you have a 10% chance of cancer if your doctor orders that test. It's more like 90% *because you are at the doctor with symptoms that make him think you might have thyroid cancer*. The intrinsic probability of the outcome has significantly changed based on additional information.

Drug tests are another common example, in Bayesian stats. If a test is 99% accurate, with a 1% false positive rate, if you randomly test 10,000 people, and 1% (100) of them use drugs, then you're going to get 99 accurate positives, and 100 false positives. Roughly speaking, it was right only 50% of the time, in a random sample. But if you target who you're testing for cause ("someone fell down and bumped their head at work"), the event is no longer random--a positive test here
is
99% likely to be correct (even so, in the real world positives are run multiple times).

The same goes here, if you look at it purely from the extrinsic probability of randomly picking a spot out of 13, or 25 you end up getting a different result than you do if you consider "A number of people consider that slot scummy for particular reasons" which drastically changes the intrinsic probability that slot actually is scummy--and in turn, whether such interactions are S/S.
