When were you at S-1?
Pretty sure I was when Grendel and someone else asked for the claim, but it was without intent. I declined to claim without intent. People unvoted me a page or so later, maybe based off content I posted around the same time. Pedit IIRC it was Chkflp who said something about wanting to avoid a lolhammer, and then some others.

The part about PoEing him later kinda affirms those thoughts, as the general idea of what I think you're doing if Grendel is town is trying to keep the slot for later.
1. The current thing on my mind is wanting to shred scum. DGB is scum. All this other stuff is a distraction from shredding DGB. When we are this close to getting a flip plus whatever night stuff, both of which will make the game easier to solve, it is more effective to focus on solving the puzzle in front of me.
2. You have accurately summarized my view of the Walter slot. My interval update on Walterslot is: Grendel looks better/moretown, as evidenced by it looks like they are trying to engage with players, catch up on the game, figure out what is going on, etc. (By contrast, Walter's main activity was at the start of D2, where he did some kind of VCA that was based on a facile reading of the thread (which tends to skew scummy, because scum are less motivated to read the thread because they already know the answer to who is scum).)
3. Something that makes Walter a little different from my NPOM/DGB/TD reads is that Walter was a later read, whereas I had a sense of the other three earlier. Walter was a lurker through the very early game. I self-consciously overvalue early reads and make myself work hard before changing them, because I tend to find that early reads are more reliable than later reads. So, if you are noticing the contrast in floppiness for NPOM/DGB/TD reads vs Walterslot, that may account for it. (I've mostly flipped on NPOM by now despite having had an early scumread tho, so it's not like they're totally inflexible.)
But yeah, I don't dispute the idea that I'm kinda waffley in general. I'm inclined to think back and forth about something dialectically when trying to reason what is likely. That's how I approach the game in general, except for self-consciously correcting it for early reads.
