I'm surprised you're so confident in that read tbh. Gimli's first 20 posts of Death Note have a ton of solving in them
I'm curious, if I showed you games where scum!Gimli was aggressive and tried to seem like he was solving early would that change your mind at all?

See the thing is that the
way
he want about solvong was completely different in Death Note. Throughout all that game I mentioned how I felt he was pocketing me and Klick, which was true. Because he wasn't questioning people's alignments sincerely, he was just townreading the guys he knew would want to townread him and towncore with him. And here he did the opposite. And you can say "well can't he do the opposite as scum", but I just don't think that's his scum playstyle and I do think it's instantly recognizable as his town paystyle whereas in death note it looked good on the surface but wasn't it.
It's kind of like how when you are in a dream (when gimli is scum), you might
think
that you are not dreaming (that he's town), but when you are awake, you
know
you are awake (that he's town). Idk how better to explain it but that's how I feel about Gimli.
