Yes. Enough time has elapsed for Dunn to get involved in the game. I have played with Dunn 3-4 times over the last 5-6 months. Dunn's play in this game more closely resembles his play when he was scum than his play when he was town.
Do you not find lurking to be scum indicative?

They're not grounded in anything likely to be scum-indicative, they're just convenient vote parks on easy picking low activity slots. Your heads can't even seem to cohesively reason about whether Dunnstral's activity makes him scum or not
Come again?
You think our votes on Chemist and Dunnstral are convenient vote parks? Not on people like votato or Blatant Scum who have had a wagon for pretty much the entirety of Day 1? Is that really what you think? And you discussed this with Auro?
No. As a hydra, we have not really synced on any of our reads right now. The last thing of substance we talked about in the hydra chat was the comedy show Community.

What's more likely - town not asking for clarification on their role, or scum not bothering to have asked for an explanation of their provided fakeclaim?

To be honest, I thought that votato was scum when votato refused to claim. However, I could not get over the fact that as scum at L-1, why would votato continue to antagonize the town by refusing to claim? And if scum, why wouldn't votato claim something the town would want to keep around? His play does not conform to my idea of a scum trying to survive. Rather, votato's play looks like a person refusing to conform to this town's expectations.
Moreover, votato on page 27 said that in 20-30 pages votato would have a better idea of reads. Votato mostly provided those reads without prompting. I think that type of approach to the game is more likely to come from town than from scum.

You don't recall Firebringer calling for Mastina's death in Doubles Mafia?

I challenge the people scumreading us to really look at our wagon at this point in the day. These votes primarily came from when I fake scumclaimed with that tab picture. However, several of those votes are still on us. Farside is really the only player who has voted us after that fake scumclaim with any sort of reasoning approaching scumhunting. JJH, Chemist, Creature, AND Blatant Scum *still* have their votes on us. That's problematic.
I may not have given April enough credit with her opinion on Blatant Scum slipping, but right now his vote on us contradicts his scumreads and it is odd that he is still voting us.
