I know what it is. Why I asked what your take on the interaction. During the ISO i was more likely to confirmation bias him town because he was my strongest town read at that time of pizza's post. You're saying it's NAI?

what?

i'm just saying that your "looking it in the light of him being scum" was unhelpful

my take on the interaction is null to towny

i don't think it was a slip, i don't think the vast majority of things that are called slips are slips, and i think that most people have an idea in their mind of "slips" because they happened to confbias when they saw a scum or two "slip"

switched to another computer

not to say that slips don't exist

nevertheless

that was not one, he may have misremembered or just assumed my scumrange from playing with me several times as town and hearing pizza talk about my scumrange a couple games back

i don't love it, but it's definitely outweighed by other things in his posting

He said something was in your scum range, but you point out he's never played a game with you as scum.

The interaction is concerning not 100 percent damning, and you yourself thought enough of it to make a note of it. It's why I wanted you to weigh on it specifically.

given we've played probably about 5 times and people have talked about my scum game itt

it was more of a note than a hey i think this is particularly bad in any way

like

i see where you could come to that conclusion, but by far the easiest answer is just that either he forgot i hadn't been scum in a game with him yet or extrapolated it from my play/what he's heard
