@Alter Ego, I should also mention I thoroughly enjoy playing mind games with people, so it's only appropriate to post the following. It is 100% true self analysis, but well... it is what it is. (If you care enough in post-game or after my flip to remember this, you're free to verify it for yourself.)
Subtly encouraging bad ideas is probably a good way to describe how I normally play scum - I like it when town implodes in on itself with little direct liability. And ending up, for example, at the bottom of Assassin's town list is _exactly_ the place I like to be as scum. Not too town that people wonder why I'm still around later, that sweet spot.
But uh, as pointless as it might be to say this in an anonymous game, there's a fair few things I've done here that I would never do as scum. I'm risk-averse scum and I tend not to say or do things that have a potential risk of backfiring,
even if
they have a larger potential payoff. Being as standoffish as I've been today is _probably_ a good indicator I'm not scum - at least, in my memory, I've never done that as scum, and blowing that kind of potential meta manipulation in an anonymous game against players who can't even meta me is uh... also not my style.
Anyway, time to ISO-dive.
