His choice here to use a line break indicates to me that this was a thought out post, a bit of a slip actually. Most people would have written this in one line, and examining his past games, he's not one to normally exercise a line break of this nature, so it was an odd thing that I noticed and decided to compare.
This is a break from his usual talk, town!gamma usually doesn't try to take on a jokey tone like this, and it seems like this is his way of trying to get town players to join on his wagon while still granting him the opportunity to fall back in the situation that he's fos'd for trying to lynch a town (i.e. if said town player claims a PR).

This was said in regards to eager making a comment that gamma's posts sound scummy if read in lord sith's voice (lol). I think his reaction to that post was very poor, and seems like deflective scum who is taking a joking accusation too seriously.

@Gamma: your vote on alban is different from Sgz's. What's your point?
It may look different but it's for the same reason: declaring "RVS" on your vote is rather stupid and looks like you are afraid of how the person you are voting will react.
His initial case brought against alban was weak, but his continued pushing of it is really not consistent with the logic he has shown throughout the game, which makes me believe his reasons are fabricated and he knows they are fake so he has to fake earnest behavior while pushing it.
Scum tends to lose track of who they are voting. Seems like a slip here to me.

Farside and Gamma instantly sheeped NJAC as soon as you Harkonnen said that. What did Gamma say?
"this. this. this." More manufactured tells.
I'm not sure what farside is. She reads somewhat town, but she's very experienced so I don't know. I liked her initially for pushing on Gamma but then she dropped the vote and went on NJAC. Just like that. He wasn't even one of her scum reads. She could have been bussing Gamma for all I know.
Yuria, Kop and Harkonnen feel town for now.
I think Fire Assassin feels town, too.
Unsure on FancyPants, but if Gamma is scum, I doubt Fancy is scum.
Not a lot on eagersnake or persephone. Eager is the more suspicious of the two.
Texcat looks scummy. But the fact everyone else think she is scummy makes me doubt that read somewhat. Then again, why are so few people voting her?
NJAC is most likely a VI.
I have NJAC on my scum list at the end of my post.
His game here as I said is nothing like are last game together.
He's more lurky, only one scum read, nothing else of value here.
I don't disagree with Gamma, he completely in gores my question plus you have the hark scum read to sheeping hark.
Yes I think they are scum together.
Look how little Gamma has tried to push that scum read.
It's a town read now on Hark, silly.
This is a very interesting post, and one of the reasons I'm able to confidently say that my scum read on gamma is + but I'm not sure if gamma was 'town reading' hark for the sake of pocketing hark, or if it's buddying. Unfortunately, hark and farside are very good at town telling on the slots, it is a bit confusing.
The case that minideathstar made on gamma was sound, and gamma rather than discussing, deflects all of the facts and makes another jokey post to escape the pressure. This was a major scum tell in my opinion, because a town player with gamma's history normally addresses the points as town, but in this situation his behavior was a total 180.

I feel like this is what you've been doing for a good part of the game. "Pseudo OMGUS"? "Throwing shade"? What do these even mean?
You've been voting pretty much everybody this game. You FOSed Harkonnen and FancyPants. Then you made some weak case on Fire Assassin, then you abandoned it when nobody seemed interested. Then switched to Eager. Then to NJAC. Is that not a contradiction?
Your defence was literally "IDGAF about you". You never asked me what I thought was fake about you until I prompted you to.
You never addressed any of farside's concerns. She's been voting you the longest. Why are you ignoring her?

Oh, more posts while I was typing. Okay so NOW you switched to eagerSnake once again? What the hell?
OMGUS = voting/scumreading someone because they voted/scumread you.
Throwing shade is harder to define. It's a general term for attacks like ad hominem.
Hark vote was because he was pushing a lynch in a bad way. I townread him most of the day, including now.
FancyPants was legit me sheeping texcat's reasoning(sheeping means you have the exact same reason). Is it a crime to agree with people?
I switched off FA because I felt like it. If I had multiple votes, one would have likely been left on FA when I switched to Eager.
As for NJAC, I was of the opinion that a deadline wagon needed to be avoided. Now IDGAF as evidenced by my vote on EagerSnake.
And BTW, IDC about responding to farside rn.
Another great post from minideathstar, and another poor reaction post from gamma. Every fact that minideathstar stated was poorly refuted by gamma, and his formatting looks very nervous with his grammar indicating a very premeditated tone.
I'm bolding the portion about farside because I'm quoting it below.

If you think Gamma is scum with NJAC, why is Gamma bussing NJAC right now? Like, what does he gain from that? Even if NJAC flips scum, I wouldn't give Gamma *any* towncredit for it.
I said NJAC was town because I think he just isn't very good at putting his thoughts into words and is trying to rely more on intuition for his reads. He isn't nitpicking or changing his FOS at first convenience. Then again, I hadn't seen his previous game until now. I have to note he *is* playing a little different this time. I just don't know if it's enough to make me want to vote him over Gamma.
Most players ignore those that jump on the wagon in my experience. They write it off and look off the wagon.
You are one of the few other then me that thinks the dude is scummy. I can just see him skating by.
I'm good with the Gamma vote.
You want a wagon?
VOTE: Gamma
Lets review him.
The call out of hark as scum. then following him.
The weak pushes.
tr on Text cat keeping this for later
calling out NJAC for following, nothing until wagon started
The multitude of scum reads based on nothing at all, IE keeping his options open.
Add to the links I used when I read to the game.
Finally, if I'm going to pick who is the townier between twistedted and farside, it would be farside because of this post right here. She also applies pressure earlier on gamma and his response was the post above that I quoted. The tone seems very genuine and there is no motivation at the time to bus her partner.
There is a lot of buddying going on with hark through gamma's ISO as well. Tbh, hark's wifom of hard claiming scum and vigi was throwing me off, but gamma's ISO indicates to me that there is likely a strong association between the two.
Also, infinity and twistedted replacing into the two slots have done a very, very poor job of town telling. I also think that infinity's reaction posts to my questions was a failure along with ted. They both failed to town tell FMPOV. I was already confident about the infinity scum read, but I have to give credit to hark for finally playing a good scum game if he was in fact the scum because his initial postings were good wifom, and I actually played a game with him earlier where he hard claimed scum but was VT, so I am very paranoid about incorrectly scum reading his slot and having him flip town only to find that it was an infinity/farside scum team.
Twistedted's refusal to cooperate along with infinity's weak willingness to bus his partner makes me believe that it looks as if both scum are indeed on the farside wagon.
