The Bro post that is so often mentioned is certainly a significant part of it. It has been said that the emotions aren't very alignment-relevant but imo they pretty clearly are, and think it's unlikely faked.
Also, if you're town then they're probably the only reason you haven't been lynched yet, so there's that.
I also thought that the way their claim matched up with previous remarks on their role in a 'not perfect but makes total sense' way, is something very likely to come from town and not very likely from scum.

That was Ceph, not me. I think I pretty clearly indicated the opposite.

All I can say is that we're town. I understand that we're one of the few not conf/semi-conf town remaining and hey, I'd probably be suspecting us too! (I still think I'd probably see how some of my posts were very likely town-me, but there could easily be bias factoring into that and there's no way I wouldn't be paranoid).
What I do know though, is that lynching us will result in town's loss, and it would be negligent of me to not at least try and change this. I have no idea how to do this. I've already been more crazy than I'm comfortable with this game (I'm sorry to everyone for that, especially Ceph) so I'm not going to do what has probably become my signature DV-approaches-lynch freak-out. I can't change our role to an innocent child instantaneously and confirm ourselves as town. My plan at the moment (I'm really just making this up as I go along) is to just keep talking and hope that in doing so, maybe something will click. I don't know.
I don't know how to make people townread me in a way that's not exactly what I'd do as scum (and even the success rate of that isn't terribly great), but if I were to try, I'd say to look at my posts (I don't know how Ceph's posting here compares to his town or scum play so I'm going to be totally self-consumed for this post). I do think that I have been pretty typical of town-me here, and very unlike me as scum. I don't think anyone can argue that I haven't been completely all-over-the-place here, and while I'm certainly not proud of this fact, I think it is completely unlike me as scum. While I do try to replicate my town meta as scum, I don't think I would be able to (nor would I actually want to) replicate all-over-the-place-ness to the extent that I've been all-over-the-place (sorry I can't think of a better word right now) here. There are probably other things, but this is what first comes to my mind and I think it's probably the most key difference. I'm not here all that often nowadays, but I'm happy to talk with anyone that wants to and whatever else I guess.

And yeah! LYNCH PA OR RG OR BASICALLY ANYONE BUT US!!!
