Because I do think that lurking and small posts is scummy. Is a person moving a game forward or are they coasting? If the latter then they gain scum points by a lot.
I don't pretend to have fake reads so I can only give on what I see.
I had some slightly scum leans but either people are vouching for them through mechanics or they aren't posting\responding to questions. For example, Jackel did not respond to my request for him to give reads on several people.
I read Seraphim in ISO and he seemed genuinely confused by Heartless claim so I put him as either lean town. I asked if in a previous game he was able to fake that level of belief or confusion, no one really responded.
I read Broseiden in ISO and he seemed slightly scummy for lurking and for the emotional response seemed a bit fake because he was called out for lurking which is anti-game.
I read Shaft in ISO and he seemed slightly scummy for the lurking but also just idk a feeling.
I read Bookitty and as 4anxiety stated noticed that she talks a lot about mechanics and has some charm. She is the reason that most people believe Heartless to be town? There's a block of players who are townfirming each other.
First skim of the game made Honey bee seem a little off but a reread of her ISo made her look better.
I haven't read everyone and nor will I be reading the entire first day. I lightly skimmed it and pointed out what I saw some of which was resolved (Heartless is a hydra for example) and some of it I can't really respond to mechanics things because I don't know mechanics or setups in this kind of game. Someone should make a Google spreadsheet (if that is allowed on this site) and track what all the outed claims are for reference and maybe for the town people to track who does what to whom.
Bookitty,
you didn't read then. I joined this game day 2. RVS\fluff was already over. However, for me it just began. I always fluff more in openings because I'm still adjusting to the landscape then get more serious. So there's nothing inconsistent at all except you ignoring that part.
Also if I like someone's posting style, regardless of alignment, I will state it. Sometimes I have no filter.
