I'm not particularly scumreading Ceph. I'm not particularly townreading Ceph, although that's changed a bit lately.
I don't understand what BRO's posted that he couldn't or wouldn't post as scum. AP's point about consecutive miller claims is sort of horrible, and although I'm OK with his latest posting, I wouldn't call it top-tier townread material.

Do you think he is acting like he did in BSG mafia?

but he seems more interested in pretending to be some sort of pixie than explaining anything
They weren't made up, but they weren't scumreads I felt particularly good about.
I usually tilt pretty hard at Empire/Tammy early game if they feel even a little off because it makes their worlds a little more difficult if they are scum.
I thought AP's opening was a bit awkward but I realize AP's openings are sometimes a little awkward and felt completely OK when he started posting.
I didn't feel anything about Mala when I voted her.
GM's first post was a pretty strong scumtell for me, and I really didn't like the followup at all; this is a "real" scumread to me. I think Syryana is scum, but that's not a "real" scumread, it's more of an inclination.

No.
I don't think he acts exactly the same in every scumgame because he's a good scum player.

I'll be cautious of BRO, but so far I think his presence has been good The things hes opted to discuss are pretty much what I'd expect from him, his reads are solid, and I think the claim is really bold from scum in this scenario. Which maybe he could be doing, but I dont think he is.
P-edit: But, but... Ceph is too adorable to lynch.

I realize this piece in particular isn't coming out how I want it to, so let me know if you need clarifications.
mysterious scumread-tested; cephrir-approved.
i don't know if i'm hugely enthused about disliking gm for having no scumreads; i can kind of empathize with that as i have been having difficulty developing scumreads as well. however, perhaps this is less typical of her than it is of me.
i like everything else you said though. i am reminded of why people think you're good at this game!
VOTE: GM
it's nice to be a little more enthusiastic about something.
pedit: i'm sorry mara, you seem to be looking for chandra. she's not here today, but i can give her your message if you want. you also don't seem to know what antitown means.
He's being active, but he isn't trying to rub people wrong. He's trying to be activr without being the center of attention which is a thing town ceph does
