If you have trouble reading that I’ll translate for you … Benmage and Fate are only the 4th and 5th most prolific posters in the thread.
Benmage solidly believes, as Town, that activity correlates with alignment. Proof? Let’s go to A Feast of Crows which he’s been so happy to reference – There he was Town and aside from the Scum Child role (Zoraster who was scum from the start who could not be lynched or Nightkilled) he had double the posts of any other player in thread (at least in what remains of the thread, click the link for himself). In fact late in the game (eaten by Tigers) one of the points he constantly made was that he was Town because Scum never is the most active player in thread.
Fate is the most prolific poster on site. He, as Town, loves to spam the thread trying to get his personal scum suspects lynched for his personal bragging rights and e-peen. The fact that he is posting less than 4 players is pretty damning. The fact that I’m one of them is even more so.

Basically that he reacts badly to being called scum and is poorly scum-hunting.
Which means he’s either scum or a VI. If you can tell the difference in Pizza let me know how you do so directly.

Mafia set-ups come in all shapes and sizes and you can't tell me arguing why you think someone is town couldn't be a major part of some game somewhere for some-reason. (obviously this doesn't outright apply to this game but like I said, I leave room in statements like this to account for any scenario possible.)
I see where you are going here. That said I’ve never seen it listed as a ‘case’ before. Only as defending Town-reads.

Expect it to happen today.
I think you should have just left it at Fail.

Well then replace out if you can’t be fucked to actually play the game. I’m 100% serious. This is an excuse that has zero Town positive benefit.
You know who make bullshit statements and refuse to back them up? Scum. So either you are scum (which I believe) or you are basically playing against your wincon as Town.
Pappums wrote:1. Yes, I admit my reaction was probably a little overblown and based in confirmation bias.
Then why have you given so much attention to me going after said reactions that don’t appear Town oriented?
Pappums wrote:2. I dont know whether I would consider pizza VI or not as I cant recall playing any games with him. In this game however, his actions look like active-lurking scum to me.
Well I will say that Pizza is a full on VI to the level that I’ve Mod Blacklisted him from my games. So I’m not going to be able to read him directly. He is in my opinion that bad a player. So I’m going to read him as I do other VIs (FourseenCircumstances comes to mind) and using that methodology I don’t see him as likely scum at this point. The fact that I have several other strong scum candidates also factors in to this.
