You are aware of at least a couple of the games that took some of the starch out of my confidence recently. I'm in a mode of figuring out what went wrong, and wanting more basis for my reads. That may last through a few games.
Confident stances come from strong reads - strong consensus reads when I hydra - and I haven't had them for a fair chunk of this game day. Mac and Psychlone making themselves town helps a ton in that regard. I wish I felt more strongly that you're town, but it is what it is.
Town {Mac, Mastin, Psychlone, Pie, Varsoon
1, Wayne
1}
Not as Town {zmuffinman, Ghostly_Penguin}
Null {TNE
2, AA
3]}
Scum {BROseidon}
1 - either of those reads could change based on how things look on day 2.
2 - this read could slip, and is already influenced by the PoVs of some of my town reads, but I'm not willing to vote him today.
3 - as Cabd indicated, we moved thez out of the scumpile mostly on the basis of zmuffin's argument that scum-thez wouldn't have reacted to pie the way thez reacted. Maybe. Maybe that should be enough to move the slot to town, but I'm not feeling it.
I'm tempted to collapse null into scum because three is probably the magic number, but the differences in read strength are substantive.
