what a good question? gypyx, in short, is town because his posts go against the grain, in a way that makes him stick out as attempting to actively look at the game and understand it. here's a quote from RC that i think fits this:
In post 0, RadiantCowbells wrote:3) People who have really out there reads, stick out too much, don't agree with the generally established townblock, and want to do their own thing which people don't largely disagree with get lynched incredibly consistently. They also incredibly consistently flip town.
because i feel like gypyx is doing a lot of this atm.

VOTE: Gloria i just realized your name wasn't "gloria clearly"
let's start with the opening post, which is often a way to get a lot more information than you'd think about a player's alignment. the jester claim is nai for a player who's playstyle and persona is more casual and shitposty, like gypyx, but this vote is good; in general, this post doesn't look overthought like a scum post would.

do you think it is important how long it was from game going up to game start? do you think it is important that there were immediately four confirms?
i think it doesn't matter, what about you?
again we see both interaction in the form of responding to questions as well as actual takes. admittedly this isn't like a townspew post, but it's part of a pattern of posts by gypyx that just make me see him as town.
In post 36, Gypyx wrote:maybe like the groupscum got to make choices before other peoples received their role PM's? PM's took quite some time to be sent too from what i recall
if gypyx was scum, and this was true, he would never make this post. this seems like town speculation rather than scum speculation to me.
In post 87, Gypyx wrote:Hey i thought about something, maybe we'll have a dance mechanic? It would fit with the theme / kinda with the fact that we're starting with 2 exes (like peoples pick a partner, they become neighbour + lover)
Pedit : wear
again - genuine mechanical play from gypyx that doesn't look at all like either scum trying to get towncred from knowing about this or scum trying to mislead the town into this. it looks like he is actually working on trying to figure out the mechanics of this game from an uninformed perspective.
