I mean, if I was shortsighted about Kary based on the pretense of disliking his attitude, then me reading Frozen based only on his attitude means that I should reconsider where I'm looking.
Maybe, but considering how I disliked Kary's attitude yet still had him as a strong town read, I think you should definitely reconsider if you're using attitudes to judge things.
Pretense is also an interesting word choice. I'm likely reading too far into it though.
Okay fair enough. And why not Lore? I know you are townreading that slot, but this is literally what most slots let you live another day for.
And What do you think of Gorf's defense of Pythag after the flip?
He said he didn't want to "follow the hive mind" due to everyone being opposed to him, more or less. Likely salt is the culprit, but frankly I think it was a scum-centric choice.
The game has been centered around Me, Soup, and Spak (less so Spak). So knowing that his Oracleing me could clear my slot and remove the haze over me, yet choosing someone else? It's fishy.
You could argue that he wanted to try to avoid his lynch today, but that's ignoring how he could have died from a scum shot or a vig last Night. I think he's full of crap, to be honest.
"But Lore, if he's scum then he wouldn't get a result if he gets killed?" Exactly, but it wasn't his motivation imo. By not Oracleing me, he removed the option from Town to lynch him and try to clear my slot. Having chosen someone else, he can wing it and hope for me to be mislynched today instead.
By choosing a lower value target, he raised his chances of not being lynched. He's scum.
