Aggressive swinging reminds me of her town play when we played together. In that game I thought that her behaviour was very unlikely to be fake able by scum, it looks like she is on the same path. The Taylor read she has also calls back to that game, and I think it is honest based on how they interacted then.

Why would LLD not engaging with you lead to everyone else town reading her though?
You have a point that scum might take the trade of being scumread by one to be townread by many, but it's not clear why you think that would be the equation at play here.

Reeee why is this insightful.
The LLD read is a consensus read and not too out of place.
The Mush read is well-reasoned and logical
The Pooky read is fine since pooky/isis s/s is possible

They didn’t give a reason at the time of that post tho and no logic was provided.

Even assuming she's aware about it, why couldn't it be correct play to just do it anyway and get voted and end up an
eleventh
of the way to getting eliminated? It's unlikely to be compelling to other players.
Well two games experience certainly doesn't sound like enough to establish a pattern.
If you're playing with a player who has a scum tell on you that you can easily counter, then it is surely correct play to just do that?
I don't think I've ever mentioned it before.
I also knew LLD would not consider it valid no matter her role, and when you feel something is invalid you skew even more towards, just do the thing that one weird person doesn't like, the games that aren't rigged are easier to beat.

I don't think you're solving, because the goalposts here should clearly be at "I believe Isis believes this" rather than "Isis is right to believe this", because "2 games isn't actually enough evidence" is a very good argument that in a disciplined scientific way it's flawed but it should be pretty obvious a human you don't know very well could be rather convinced from just a couple games.

Hopkirk asked about the specifics of what Noraa said in discord. I expect that this is one place where Noraa might be correct - as in she only mentioned Hectic as a mod being exciting or whatever and nothing about setup - but don't think it makes her reaction to the wagon any less scummy so Hopkirk investigating something that looked like a dead end pinged slightly.

i can see uno's logic tho
that two people who know each other's meta well would adapt to get a TR

it's not really scumpingy at all

Well, pooky has floated it, that's what I'm responding to. I'm not sure whether it was shot down. If it was, I don't think it was done convincingly.
In post 700, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Zdenek, have you considered that asking game advancing questions might be better for the town? Or being more specific if you absolutely have to ask questions that don't help sort slots? Maybe taking any kind of strong stand at all?
I haven't read about 1/2 the game. So I'm ok with my stances at the moment. Sometimes, I ask questions just to interact with people to see how they feel to me, and sometimes that's helpful.

hectic is a rather boring mod
don't modkill me

an investigative mindset leans town though, it's not making something out of nothing, it's quite clearly a solving mindset

She did it in a couple games (wait, actually 3?) so it must have furthered her wincon somehow. I'm not sure how, she's levels above me, but I'm guessing the kind of topics I tend to bring up aren't ones that are easy to engage with in a way that lets her "perform town". Like, bad lines to start an improv skit with, that kind of sense. I don't think I'm a brilliant scumhunter she's scared of, that's for sure.
