Not really. My town strategy with you sometimes is to just ignore you because you'll death tunnel me for dumbass reasons and I don't have the energy for that rn.

Oh. My work week is shite. All the people who do the same job as me took the whole week off for spring break, so I'm basically working 12 hour days for 5 days straight trying to fill the gaps. Tomorrow is friday at least!

isn't this wholly NAI? Like I think it's a given fire made that readslist before they replaced into the game (the timing is too quick for it to be fake), and I think once they've done that then as town or as scum they'd post it. if anything it's ever so slightly +town since it indicates they aren't yet trying to Enact An Agenda, the only real scum-motivation I could see it in is a) it's what they'd do as town -> hence NAI or b) it could make them
look
town.

But again, if you already made the readslist, prior to knowing your alignment, then you'd almost certainly post it as town too. It's not town-indicative, but I definitely don't see how you can think it's more scum-indicative than null
1. I wanna make clear that what I'm about to say is weak sauce, but I think that scum replacements are more focused on what their predecessor did than town are. Their posts demonstrated where their head was at(what look did and how it made him look/how others saw him)
2. Choosing to post a readslist you made before you knew your alignment when the default perspective of this particular player is obviously town before they receive a role pm I think is more plausibly coming from the perspective of someone who has a perfectly good set of town opinions and that replacing them with their now scum-o-vision is both additional effort they might not wanna waste by making another list and, if they're not confident is likely to pass muster better than writing a list now that they're town.

I wanna clean this post up, but I refuse. Too lazy. Take my word salad and like it.

Maybe GL or Dwlee or someone.
I think Dwlee/Tweet are better suspects than Praet at the moment

It sort of sucks that the people I would usually auto-nom if there was even a whiff of towniness from them to bomb advise, are either actively scummy or under performing.

Is this because you don't want me to be the bomb defuser.
Because I hate you if that's the reason.

I mean that's a red flag, assuming they're not also completely incompetent as scum, that's what their scum game is goinv to look like. Who are you referring to besides GL?
