Fun fact: readslists are something that people think I do as either alignment but which I actually have a strong tendency to, in general, not actually make them as scum.
No, really.
I kid you not.
Readslists are something that, as scum, I have a strong tendency to not make.
That doesn't mean that I don't make readslists as scum, of course. I do. But critically, I make them
much, much less frequently
and also far, far less formatted than I do when I'm town*. (As scum I might make an informal readslist of "these people are town, so scum are in these people", but it's not a reads LIST, as in, town to scum, top to bottom, LIST. I have made proper readslists as scum, but they are
very very rare
and when I do make them, I update them with a much lower frequency than I do as town.)
Of course, it's an incredibly subtle thing, subtle enough that I doubt anyone other than me ever noticed it. And me being me, with me obviously aware of it, that means that it's not really a valid tell because obviously, me as scum knowing that I don't make readslists as scum, can make a readslist as scum for the towncred.
But legitimately, if you look at my towngames versus my scumgames in the last three years, you
will
be able to see a notable difference in how frequently I give readslists between alignments. Yet since that'd be thousands of pages' worth of reading material, nobody will ever look into that to verify it. Still, tho. It does make a neat piece of trivia!
*(By the way, the reason that I don't make readslists as often as scum and make them more as town is that readslists are a tool I use to sort my own thoughts out in the open. I need that less as scum for obvious reasons, but as town, making readslists is a way that lets me compare players and my feelings about them to help sort them into where I feel they should be. Just by organizing names into a list, I can get my thoughts more coherent and also am better at spotting things than I would be otherwise.)
