Or you’re a new recruit and they are starting scum and vice versa.
Why exactly is Sam being read as NK here?
He’s KO and he visited Vulgard last night. I’m pretty sure he thought I was Observer and outted that, and I didn’t give him to chance to give his night action when I called out that he’s KO.
If it’s an unseen game he could be assassin, but since we don’t have that knowledge we’re assuming likely NK.
Ok so they could be many things then, one of which is NK. Another is butler, another still is Sellsword
Hence why we were gonna just poison Wazza and jail Sam while lynching someone else. He’s either confirmed or he gets hung.
Why don’t we actually read Sam instead of concluding that they must be Evil because the evidence implies it? I mean, they claimed butler without the knowledge of you being a Princess. I think that’s a reason for them being town.
In any rate, let’s not kill a potential NK over group scum. We don’t get any associations when we lynch the NK.
I did. I didn’t miraculously decide to out his KO and push him. I also didn’t miraculous check him out of luck; I scumread him D1.
Possibly Kai.
He’s done this before as scum; he claims and disappears. I think it’s very possible he’s not a Knight.
Confirmation bias
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that affirms one’s prior beliefs or hypotheses.[1] It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply-entrenched beliefs.
People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).
You had an idea and looked for the information that you interpreted to make it factual, while denying other information.
It’s just Psychology. You looked through the lenses of me being scum so you only accepted the scum information and denied all the 90% of me being bd
