Why is claiming VT early scummy? Because it is bad.
Why is chronically buddying scummy? Because it is bad.
Why is the vacillating between "we want this pain to be over" and "you can't get me lynched" scummy? Because it is bad.
Camntsuki certainly hasn't been breaking the door down with advanced reads and reasoning, but it's not like they are gleefully doing nothing at all, and it's not like I expect either head struggles horribly with giving reads + reasoning as scum so that in and of itself isn't a red flag for me.
I don't really see scum motivation in the early VT claim; you can say that they're appealing to AtE meta or whatever but this is well within their townrange and the obvious risk of drawing the hate of most players in the game doesn't really seem to outweigh the reward of appealing to the me/BRO/Cephrir/Fox group of players.
The buddying that they've done doesn't surprise me and is an expectation regardless of alignment. They buddy a lot.
The contradiction between "we want this pain to be over" and "you don't have the votes" also doesn't really bother me at all; in the same vein, I'm not really bothered by people who say they're giving up in thread and keep fighting. Sometimes you're annoyed with the game and you want to die, sometimes you're annoyed with a player and you talk shit to them.
And no, I don't really expect you to agree with these viewpoints, but I think you know me well enough by now to know that I'm not following onto a lynch just because the person in question is playing antitown.
