Like why is only focusing on the wolfy things someone has done while ignoring the townie things a good thing to do (or vice versa if youāre townreading them)
Basically
being hedgy is to go halfway when giving a take
āPlayer x is towny/scummy, but blah blah blahā
When youāre making a take, hedging gives off the impression that you donāt actually believe in it
Which is scummy because wolves know if their reads are fake or not, and are self conscious about things
Not being completely confident is usually when players present their perspective on a slot, but donāt try to make a declaration about it
āThis post is wolfyā
This is something you believe in, but it doesnāt tell the whole tale
āThis slot is trending downā
āI think this slot has an approach thatās not necessarily genuineā
Hedging is trying to sell something then take it back but still selling it
to explain it a different way I would distinguish between ānot being sure about someoneā and ātrying to avoid saying anything sure about someoneā
like itās normal to not be 100 percent confident in your reads but that still usually involves saying more than e.g. this:
how is this not just weighing the positives and negatives of what nerbinās posting was like?
not trying to just play devilās advocate for the sake of it, but that post seems perfectly reasonable to me. they state what nerbins did and why it might be suspicious, but also acredits reasons why nerbins might do it as town
Itās empty
The post is made to look pleasing, but it does nothing but try to show their logic on why they donāt have a conclusion on their alignment
I wouldnāt want to make spec chat private for the sole purpose of putitng on my tinfoil hat and giving a conspiracy theory about alice controlling 2 different alternative accounts when I like donāt think itās likely at all to be her anymore
btw specs are authorized to do VCs
Iām not saying āhey specs, go do VCsā but if you want to you can
