I don't think they are scum. I didn't really in the beginning, and I don't think so now.
I think they are a new player who is warming up to forum mafia and is doing very well in terms of doing research (MafiaScum Wiki) on terms and tactics. I like that.

Gilded seems a lot more knowledgeable and less scattered than she was in previous game we played together.

have you been swotting that wiki?
Somewhat, and I've warmed up quite a bit on Forum Mafia and the general practices of the players. I think it's fair to say that I understand it all a whole lot better. And a little more confident with my reads on tone and whatnot.

what do you mean by scumreading town? is it because i said you were scum on my reads list? or was it map wolf?

What do you mean by this? Are you referring to something I said, previously or in this post? I was saying that Jailor doesn't appear to be scum. I think they're town, at least at this moment.
Wait, I think I just realized that you might be confused as to who I am referring to in terms of not being scum. (I was quite vague, I meant to be referring to Jailor as I had unvoted them previous in the post)
But that is still confusing to me because I never called anyone, at least directly, scummy?

I'm still leaning towards GBJ as bigger scum read currently. Least we finally getting some action going on here. We'll certainly get some better info

Nevermind. You unvoted.
It's uncommon to write a name after an unvote.
I've peeked into some long since ended games to see the common D1 dynamic between players, and just learned a lot from the previous game.

They haven't really done anything particularly scummy, at least in my book. What stands out to you as scummy? The reason I initially looked into them was due to their short and surface posts, I wanted to hear their general opinions as opposed to their seemingly far too agreeing justification posts as agreeing with what had been previously said without putting in their input.
Honestly trying to sound too agreeing can come off as a scummy thing but GBJ is clearly a newer player, and as their first game they are currently warming up to forum mafia. It is a big transition to make, they probably just weren't sure what to do or say.
And I don't want to be speaking on their behalf and just assuming things, so I'd like to give Jailor a chance to explain. GBJ, what are your first thoughts on this game so far, and were you confused or unsure in the beginning at all?

this is actually my second game, i played 1 game on the town of salem forums before, but that one has a lot less people and way more meta reading as such. im just trying to be less passive this game as to not get lynched in mylo and lose again

Its mainly gut feeling, it's not enough to lay down a vote just yet, will keep that a little longer, but put a gun to my head that's where I would go right now
If you're not actively acting to gamesolve then you're going to appear suspicious to people. If you give off this vibe that "I'll just leave it to the other players" then it makes you appear like you aren't all in for town victory.
A mafia game won't be "relaxing," in fact that kind of goes against the general feel. Mafia games can get heated and for good reason, it's a social deduction game. Of course a player isn't required to constantly be in the heat but it is important to contribute, especially if you actually are town aligned, and the way you have no interest kind of sets me off in a weird way. But not in a way that makes me feel that you are no doubt scum, at least not yet, because I feel as though that would be too obvious. No, I am just a bit confused on why this is the case.
