Although I’m not sure if he did in PyP actually, but either way I think assuming that *I* would feel the need to defend him/support him as I entered the game is a pretty bad take on what I’d likely do as scum
I told him to hardbus me for distancing in the last game - whether he does that on his own on his scumbuddy i dunno.
Also I don't particularly care for what you would or wouldn't do - I just think it doesn't make sense for him to get paranoid about your masked nature given how it's not really alignment indicative - if he has a GOOD reason for why he would think this - he can say it obv.
I think the real reason is because he was thinking about the difficulty of fake-claiming a setup because he was dealt a scumrole in a badsetup for scum - for example a setup where the scum role is playing against something OTHER than vanilla townies as this limits the scums range out of fakeclaims out of the easiest fakeclaim - aka vanilla townie. Even tho its trivially easy to dial up another setup and picking that one instead - he's thinking about the small probability that someone else was dealt that setup and can counterclaim him.
The reason a badsetup for scum to be dealt their role is one where there are not vanilla townie for example is one in which the only role other than scum are townside power roles or something that is verifiable in a game way such as your mask thing.
That line of thought would lead to the point where he's thinking about you maybe fake-claiming your game setup because he's thinking about his own difficulties and approaching it from a scum POV - I don't see how a townie naturally reaches the suspicious of your masked-alt POV.
