i'm too stupid for this, please explain
oh yeah, i was also annoyed at you because you lowkey seem to be ignoring what i'm asking about *why* you had such huge problems with my early sel suspicion
there's a voice telling me you're actually trying to shut me out by ignoring me, i don't want to listen to it but it's getting louder
If the Scum Team perceives that a player is hard to get executed, or the wagon will seem very obviously Scum driven upon the flip of a loud Town player, then they’re far more likely to simply avoid that player and NK them, while giving them a TR. I am perceiving that a lot of players have a TR of DW, who started the game out probing and aggressive, because (in part) DW was broadly perceived as Town. So, players still expressing reservations, though not pushing them all that hard, are most likely wasting their time. If I wanted to show nuance as Scum, I guess I could act paranoid around DW while still ultimately TR there. But it’s just much easier to express a TR and move on.
If I see that a player is acting Townier and Townier as the game goes on, to the point were people are forced to change their stances around a player, then early attempts to sideline them or push them for execution could be thought of as coming from Scum. After all, Scum want to get a mis-execution above having to execute their own Partners. It’s the same reasoning I would apply to anyone that pushed Dorsey in hindsight (particularly if Dorsey flips Town, but I have to assume it in part given my perception of the slot).
Does that make sense?
