not sure what this will do but i like personality quizzes so!
I can run my script on her answers to see what the actual sub facets are, but from eyeballing Ausuka's answers I can say that Ausuka is more likely to be telling the truth about their 6 am post.

I'm inclined to believe that you have a subconscious habit of scum leaning players for thread presence, Nero.

maybe?

If Ausuka was scum with Mohaab/Cresent I think there's some scum motivation in getting on to just quickly defend herself. If its 6am and she didn't feel like thinking or playing this game why was it so so so important to get on and claim that?

No one sees that so eh...

I agree that it's a possibility, I disagree that it's a probability.

These are the main questions and answers from Ausuka which make me think the behavior is NAI.
In post 1250, Frogsterking wrote:"Waste my time" = 4

"Need a push to get started" = 2

"Have little to contribute" = 2
Ausuka is industrial and assertive. Means they are likely to share their opinion upon reading the topic at 6 am as Town.
In post 1250, Frogsterking wrote:"Enjoy the beauty of nature" = 5

"Enjoy thinking about things" = 2

"Cheat to get ahead" = 1
Ausuka is cooperative (possible alternative motivation for sharing their opinion.)

Ausuka is very high in fantasy/imagination (like me!!) and much lower in intellectual curiosity. This means we can expect Ausuka is primarily relying on their intuition, feelings and perceptual abilities rather than their analytical abilities to identify scum. Ausuka seems to be acting congruent with this because they wrote that 6 am felt too early for critical thinking, which implies to me that it didn't feel too early for sharing perceptual or intuitive thoughts, which is why they posted what they did.

"Take charge" = 4.2

"Make people feel welcome" = 3.3

"Like music" = 5.0

"Like to tidy up" = 1.2

"Like to visit new places" = 3.1

"Feel comfortable around people" = 5.0

"Interested in many things" = 5.0

"Love order and regularity" = 2.4

"Am afraid to draw attention to myself" = 1.5

"Enjoy being part of a large crowd" = 2.0

"Cheer people up" = 4.4

"Lose my temper" = 1.2

"Enjoy the beauty of nature" = 3.2

"Enjoy thinking about things" = 5.0

"Cheat to get ahead" = 3.0

"Feel desperate" = 1.1

"Rarely overindulge" = 2.5

"Easily resist temptations" = -1.0

"Have a high opinion of myself" = 5.0

"Waste my time" = 5.0

"Need a push to get started" = 4.0

omf i read this as u wanting to vote me which prompted my 1194. which was... senselessly offensive considering u never even said u were gonna vote me. yeah if i'm starting to misread posts like this, like seeing what I expect rather than maintaining a judicial mindset, it's time for me to take a breather. Think I'll return tommorow.

I think i'll be very glad if some of the votes on me come with cases. I'll be even gladder if gandhi and hopip start to be more proactive so we can sort this.

Have fun ya'll.
i don't know exactly how to put this into words, but your extremely defensive/persecuted reaction strikes me as something that is at least not scummy and perhaps townie. the pure volatility of it. call it a "frustrated townie" vibe. i think you're out of my poe for right now.

Actually, I was wondering why I wasn't killed tonight and
furtiveglance
was. My guess is that there are no more Mafia Goons in this game and so my role isn't a threat to the mafia anymore. I will still continue checking people in case I am wrong though. I'm planning on targeting
hoppip
on Night 2.

Still though, it's kinda weird that they would sacrifice
Crescent
like this. I made it clear that I would be likely targeting her tonight (). If she hadn't been vigged, I would have announced my guilty and she would be gone on Day 2 anyway.

Happy scumday, and congratulations. Being a trial attorney is great if you like arguing and, like, standing your ground though.

I graduated Law myself, but I'm planning on a career switch as I'm very susceptible to work-related stress and pressure which is abundant in the legal sector unfortunately.
