Calling Ythan ABR Dunnstral as town and liking you while soft-defending my slot and the worst, is all things that are good, and I agreed with pretty much all of those reads at that point in time. The reads were good, the reasoning was fine; the thing holding me back was tone.
In more recent content, Winter Flakes was initially sitting on the sidelines, but stepped up and has been more active, more vocal, more aggressive, and also far less fake-sounding. Tone-wise Winter Flakes is fine to me now and content-wise continues to actually look pretty good. I may not perfectly agree with every take, but the takes legit do look like they come from town. (Thus why I don't want to wagon the slot--I'd be willing to as a compromise because this townread isn't in defend-to-the-death territory, but I'd be incredibly unhappy with it and expect it to flip town.)

I would love to agree with this as evidence Xtoxm is town, but I cannot in good faith do so because I am obligated to point out:
Scum in today's meta almost never make counterwagons when scum are run up, ESPECIALLY if the scum are almost or entirely among the less-active players.
If scum have no pull, no influence, over the townbloc, they cannot mount a successful effort at defending their scumbuddy via a counterwagon led by them.
In the current meta, most wagons are towndriven because most players who're active are town, with the scum being among the less-active slots either entirely or at least primarily.
So sadly, this doesn't work as an Xtoxm defense, tho I do agree he's town anyway.

You are probably scum if this is t v t.
It is, so hercule is indeed scum. <3
