Because i think that's the more likely explanation than how you're explaining it, and while i think they're scum you're reasoning for why is wrong imo

I don’t see why that matters. If I am wrong in my reasoning right for the wrong reasons is a thing.

Why do you think Nero is scum?

Does it feel like SvT or TvT?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Fua's frustration in leaving the game seems quite genuine, although happy to be countered on that.

Feels like TvT. Don’t think this is how either player approaches today as scum.

I could maybe, maybe see fua being a serial killer? But I still think they would look more survivalistic. Like their day play doesn’t at all match with how I would expect a serial killer to play. I think it’s more likely they are town for reacting in the way they did (the way they played), and skitter is town for how she is aggressively questioning everything while seemingly pushing in genuine faith. It’s a really difficult balance to strike as scum imo, and while it’s I guess possible skitter is theatreing all of this, it seems unlikely by vibe/gut as well.

VOTE: Cape90 Let’s start with this greedy hammer vote. Sure it could be town miscounting but scum could totally use that as an excuse. I am unhappy that instead of running Wu up, we ended up straight hammering him, and I have seen scum just go for the kill because wifom. Why Cape is getting zero scrutiny is shocking to me.Plus they are in a hood with VP and Nero and skitter who I all believe to be stronger town than Cape atm.

Survivalistic, more postury, more ingratiating, not naked aggression and subtle threats all day and throwing a hissy fit, not refusing to claim target and just yell at people, etc.

VOTE: cape

Gonna be a min before I can catch up but this was also my read overnight.

Cape, can you explain how you went from calling Wu town to hammering him?

Also, why did you keep explaining your vote after you hammered?

In post 2449, MalcolmTucker wrote:@Yeet can you explain your discrepancies between posts , , and post .

Initially you push Fua over a pretty consistent period of time, and yet after their vigilante reveal you then indicate you got a vibe they may have had their given role? If that was the case, why were you pushing Fua as potential mafia so consistently?

I'm really not sure what to make of your slot so far in general. Early on you struck me as very town - you were boldly making sometimes baseless accusations without any care as to how you came across but that helped progress the game. But it's notable that your playing style has since changed a fair bit, you seem a bit more tentative now when it comes to making outright accusations despite us having more to go on. Your play feels deliberately more measured and careful, but I'm not sure why that is...after all you didn't necessarily come under a lot of heat for your early posts.
I thought fua’s demeanor made sense with a very specific town role vig. When they claimed that role like exactly, it just clicked for me.

Regardless my demeanor that’s some like psychoanalysis stuff that I’m not really self-aware of, lol. It could have to be with getting under vote pressure changed my tone a bit?

I am vibing with VP it seems
