However this is a different setting, I'm one of the strongest players she had to face off against and I'd argue most if not all present are better players than me. I don't expect her to panic but I also don't expect her to be so dismissive of early scumreads on her slot. It's not a strong read but my initial impression.
I'm always going to default to town side on slots that try to transition out of rvs unless it's generating social reads, which I didn't get from this game. Plus Shiidaji proposing the persivul/irrel team read townie to me because it's a nontown statement if that makes sense.
What I mean is it's considered antitown to make assumptions around preflip associations and I think Shiidaji is cognizant of that. So at best it's an attention grabbing statement that scum generally avoid. Also it encourages town to consider new perspectives which opens the door for scumhunting even if it isn't directly done by him. I dont know if that was really the intention but that doesn't change my mind all too much.
My response is: anti-town things are done by scum sometimes. Duh?
So I'm not really seeing the towncase
Last part is a stretch. It's timing, it's really a strange moment for scum to get theory heavy unsolicited or unprompted. He hasn't really had much input since (or at all?) So I don't see him as proactive scum right now, which is really the only thing that would have made me backtrack that read.
