This reasoning still applies, I think tgp is trying to get read as "bad town"

penguin you can call my takes bad but calling me scum for them is a terrible take yourself
This is not quite "I may be bad but I'm not scum" but it's close enough. "Feels a little off" is something you'd use to describe a post from someone you were otherwise townreading, not a hard scumread usually.

I don't see it as nai but if you want to explain why that'd be neat
Like, s_s made a post about his opinion on mafia in general (i.e., that good reads are hard to get as town or fake as scum). Do you think he could be lying?
Not per se, but "not scumhunting" isn't a scummy behavior in and of itself. It's not as though scum-lilith forgot that she was supposed to look like she was scumhunting.
Also, what's your read on me?

I disagree.
It's one of the most reliable scum tells that there are.

I say that as someone who frequently does not scumhunt as town.

Random thought that better describes why I scumread hoopla: I think she’s approaching the game pretty simplistically while appearing to be thoughtful.
Idk
I feel like i should have more pushback and more people suspicous of my motivations
ummmmm maybe because you’re doing scum’s work for them??? we all know I’m a PR unless I was a complete doofus and didn’t submit a pick. if you’re town, scum are fucking salivating over the thought that they didn’t have to do
anything
and I got handed to them on a platter.
Since the jig’s kind of up at this point - I knew I’d be an obvious NK target for being first draft pick, I was hoping to not be incredibly obvtown to the point that it got me killed N1 so I could maybe get something useful done before I died. Hence being a lurksack. Unfortunately I underestimated how awful I play when under pressure and your determination to wagon me.
anyway, there are a bunch of people on the wagon for shitty reasons/“for pressure”/“because someone else wanted it” - I think DGB and infinity are scummy as hell, their votes are opportunistic, I agree with peta that DGB’s catchup post was a whole lot of head-scratching. I’m not sure I’m up for my typical play atm given that I... think I have covid, but I’m gonna try to be coherent before I fall asleep again.
really sorry to hear that. hope things work out for you
i don't know if the laying low to not get nked thing makes
sense
because, well, everyone knows the draft order anyway. gut says the wagon response isn't scummy though

They lied via omission.
Explain the scum motivation here, and explain why it’s sooo unlikely for a townie to not say their entire draft strategy.
Read the context, they were being called sus for choosing a number like that and instead of actually defending themselves they went via the "haha lul" approach and when I called them out on it they added another response to cater to what I said. Then their posts completely changed with tone before my suspicions being called trash by everyone else and then they went back to their general attitude but except the tone was still trash for a bit.
Picking a large unique number reliably lands you near the middle of the draft
So it's a strategy, and scum can employ it, but it's not inherently scummy

It's also not more suspicious than something like 13 which is unlikely to double up and ends up at about the same place
