Your response immediately after, plus your dialogues afterwards make me feel you are more likely town than scum.

I'm moving skitter up my list. Willing to move Retti up a little as well. I'm not happy with the content of bugs or tris and T3 feel naturally scummy, like they've read creature's playbook and committed it to memory. All 3 of them can fall below Retti for now.

but i will not act upon it yet as it is way too early and my skitter reads are usually ass-backwards
why do you find her town? @retti obviously
Breaking away from early game silliness into serious analysis tends to come more often from town, it's an awkward transition for scum to make who are usually more content to fool around, and she did it in a natural enough manner.
i think skitter is generally like that. it's possible that the way she did it is town tho

UNVOTE:
Specifically what I didn't like about this post was skitter saying she disliked the bugspray vote. To me the bugspray vote seemed like obvious RVS. Coupled with that, Datisis reaction and just the whole conversation in general seemed like RVS. Your post looks like an excuse to get early fake "helpful".
The flavor and potions of this game seem like something that could possibly be breakable if we al knew what each other was doing.
a little bit of townlean on this even tho i don't totally agree

this is a relatively alignemnt indicative post (as in this gives information about tris's alignment relative to other slots) scum wouldn't be like "be back later" if a gamestate was evolving that doesn't favor them and i think overall this is more likely to come from town
i mean, if my brain's not working, it's not working

pedit: gotcha, thanks
I don't particularly
like
explaining my early game gut reads, at least not right away. But since you asked so nicely, I guess I'll oblige: the 3 posts to that point felt like they were following along and merely going with the flow of what was happening at the time, joining the wagon on datisi, disagreeing with my skitter read, adding to the townreads on datisi, it was all adding to existing lines of conversation rather than providing any particularly compelling thought. And I
could
see that being the way scum plays the early game, mostly trying to blend in, talking just to talk but not providing momentum themselves.
In post 260, Datisi wrote:i think i'm sorta putting skitter as ~paranoid but most likely town~ and leaving her there for an amount of time until i decide otherwise. there is a small voice in the back of my head that skitt's approach was slightly off, mostly due to the fact that she admits to it in 252 as it kinda gives me the vibe of "yeah, it was off" scum admitting their own play is off. *however* (1) i did not notice any scum-agenda-driving posts from skitter that i remember seeing once when she was scum (though this is obviously with a grain of salt bc i do not trust myself at all to consistently read scum!skitt correctly) and her reads/reasnings outside of the above have all felt Fine and Reasonable. (2) and also i think in every town game we've had so far, i've consistently had the uneasy-gut "what if this is scum!skitter" feeling, and at this point i'm wondering if that feeling should be taken as a sign that skitt is town, considering i did not have it in most (if not all, don't remember atm) of her scumgames
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic that this game might just be...
easy
, which I know is a foolish thing to conclude not even 24 hours into day 1, but I feel reasonably good about the most active people so far, the way you've sort of danced around each other feels like the routine players with a degree of history between each other go through when they both roll town. This could be one of those games where town has all the energy early and scum just aren't able to keep up at all. My wild confidence could eventually be swallowed by the Pit of Paranoia and Despair, but for now? I'm feeling it.
this is very towny post

and why do you think i would be having doubts on bugspray?
up to the post i just quoted,
datisi, retti, rhyme and reason i feel pretty good about being town.
i'm feeling like you're town as well, but i'm not confident
i might have a reason to townread t3 that i'll think more about once i've caught up.
i'll have to revisit my thoughts on pob long.
toogeloo. idk
sure, bugspray can be mafia;
i was thinking you would wonder why scum!bugspray would be this blatantly ignoring people, but if the meta fits,,

how do you believe anything in post 242 after RR was making ''im scum' memes on Page 5? those dont add up i think.
why not? a player can be serious at times, and memey at other times. i don;t see the incongruity.

yeah see, this fits with the feel i've been having that pob long might not have been serious with their opening
