That post was made with reference to my previous analysis of you, my #457, which you said that you would read if you have the time. I can understand your perspective, but only if you've read my previous post and not my #457 as well. Deal with the wall of text, you lazy bum.In post 495, Maverick1102 wrote:I'll shorten Reso's argument for you all:
I don't like Ox40 tunnelling on people who I thought at that point were town, but I'd be more than happy if they were to tunnel on my scumread. I'm strong in how I approach my case about my scumread, I push hard and apparently I'm unco-operative with town? I hardly agree.
But the reasoning behind the quote is such a bad misrepresentation. The point was that Cobalt had no conviction in his vote, and worried that he'd be accused of scumhood for allowing a quickhammer to happen (townpoints for IV for this btw) quickly backtracked to look like he'd valiantly tried to save the day. That they settled on the same rule that I did is a moot point, I was simply recalling the events for people. (You know, that whole co-operating with town thing).
That is such a forced vote and the fact that you give yourself a disclaimer at the start of that 'this isn't a scum list' reeks.
Genuinely considering changing my vote.

It's simple. I know that I'm town, and there are 8 other players, which means that from my point of view, there has to be 2 scum among those 8 players.In post 494, reso wrote:Also..... could you explain to me how exactly you are putting on a quantitative quality on how certain you are that someone is going to turn up scum or town? Because that is incredibly beyond me.
Probability of any of those players being scum = 8 / 2 = 0.25, or 25%. When someone does something scummy/towny, it increases the probability of that person being scum/town by an amount based mostly on statistics and educated guesses, and slightly decreases everyone else's probability of being scum/town because that's how math and probability works. I think giving actual numbers, even if they are far from perfectly accurate, is much better than being needlessly vague with wording like "likely scum," "very likely scum," or "somewhat likely scum." For example, when Marverick1102 said that he'd be surprised if PhantomCobalt flipped town, does that mean he thinks it's about 20% likely he'll flip town, or 1% likely he'll flip town? His wording could easily be stretched to mean either, but one of those numbers is twenty times larger than the other.
From where exactly do you pull the number 40% then?In post 446, 0x40 wrote:Alright, I'm gonna hammer PhantomCobalt unless there are any objections. Also, before I do, I would like to hear from everyone what they think the percentage probability of PhantomCobalt flipping scum after being lynched.As for me, I'm about 40% sure he'll flip scum.-

By your own logic, just because 9/11 either was or was not an inside job, it's a 50/50 chance that it was/wasn't. Can't you see how ridiculous that is? The probability of someone being scum in a group of 8 players where 2 are scum is 2/8, 0.25, or 25%. This is basic math.In post 523, RyanK wrote:

~40%: the probability of him being scum after taking into account my reads on everyone.-

8. It's a 9 player game, and from my point of view I know that I'm not scum, so 2 in 8.In post 528, PhantomCobalt wrote:9 players*-

It's even more illogical by yours. There are lesser "inside" people than "outside people, so the chance that 9/11 was an inside job is "inside"/"outside"=>50%In post 527, 0x40 wrote:

That's exactly what I've been saying. If you put 8 players in a bag, 2 of them are scum, then pull one out of the bag to lynch them, the probability of them flipping scum is 25%, not 50%.In post 532, PhantomCobalt wrote:Argghhh
Let's say you have 100 marbles in a bag, 99 red, and 1 blue. There are two possibilities, a red or a blue. However, if you reach into the bag and grab one out, it's 99 out of 100 times red.-

Well, thanks for the example. It can be quite hard to understand that without an example that isn't easy to understand. However, this is where my mind keeps breaking down.In post 536, 0x40 wrote:

50% is if you're looking at the person individually.
25% is if you're looking at everyone else as a whole.
So, which one should it be???-

Right, now you're here.
Talk to me about the following please. Give me the impression you have on them.
Reso
HipLop
X40
What's your opinion on 497?
And what about HipLop showing doubt on the wagon without unvoting (this can be included in the above comments on him).I claim scum \o/-

Phantom?
If so, can you give examples, more details to these reads?
What's your opinion on your wagon slowing down and looking to be reviewed?
Why did you start posting again after this?
I'm not going to be on tonight (or maybe late).
My post is basically saying that Reso can't be scum if you're town, but can be scum if you're town. What's your view on it?Last edited by Firebringer on Fri Jul 29, 2016 2:31 pm, edited 1 time in total.I claim scum \o/-
