People using whole new terms here (drastically different terms) and openly joking about things that make me aghast doesn't change how I plan my analysis or what sort of stuff makes me respond versus just politely nodding my head and taking note to myself of how it sounded to me.
That's where we disagree then. Not completely, I think the fundamentals will remain the same (mostly), but I just think it is likely some players will be mixing it up to adapt better to this new format. I typically like doing slow, long analysis, but that's isn't likely to be effective here when the day is moving along so quickly, for example. All that sort of thing, really.

To me this is vital data because it predates the ability to know wolf vs villager. Too bad very few people put actual info in there.
Is this a fair assessment of your view and a clear stament of mine?
Yeah, i think that's fair. As I said, I can see that you have reason there, we just differ in the actual merits we believe it has.

However, I believe that this doesn't actually go far in helping yourself, as it's starting to get into WIFOM territory. I'd say it is also a fair possibility that, as scum, you would be using it to get some town credit by looking to find an excuse to read that player as town (as you obviously wouldn't want to show that you know they are town). I am, however, satisfied with your explanation, and I think we've run the course of the discussion on this particular point. It ultimately comes down to different perspectives more than anything here, so we wont get far debating whose belief is better. That's a big part of why I have removed my vote now, because you elaborated on where you were coming from with it. Is that a fair conclusion, to you?
