You may be right. I might have read some arrogance behind that post that perhaps isn’t there. Instead of it being “I believe I’ve pinned the Scum Team correctly early, and wouldn’t that be funny?”, it could be more of a “I don’t think I have it right, but if I did, that would be funny”.
Either way, it’s quite obviously wrong, and I find that deeply concerning.
I do genuinely believe that the safest play here is to vote where no interest has been shown yet. Flea is an incredibly safe choice. I don’t trust Ydrasse, and I don’t trust Sir Cakez. Sir Cakez calling Sha’s posts “gross” also seemed just overly aggressive again. I would push for consideration of a slot that hasn’t been in the conversation just yet. It’s less likely in my mind to be Scum.
And even if you find me Scummy, you can probably guess that I wouldn’t so openly push my Partner as the selection when they haven’t been close to the leading vote getter.
Andres, if Flea is scum who just hasn't been feeling this game yet, do you really expect faer partner(s) to be pushing a heal onto Flea? I don't think the absence of interest makes someone more likely to be town alone
What do you hate about that reaction? You think those observations were serious?
Immediately dives on me to try to get me to change my mind

Immediately dives on me to try to get me to change my mind, again. I believe I'm the only one expressing suspicion of Sha too.
I don't know I can't point to many specific posts on ISO. but I just don't like the tone of many posts. it feels a little too "un-serious" in a very intentional and manufactured way. as opposed to Pooky's whose silliness I buy more.
Having said that, I understand very much where this is coming from. I can’t say I liked the Town block there either.

You wrote that Alisae and I are Scummy but probably not both Scum. Alisae is actually reading me correctly, you’re not, yet we’re both Scummy. It’s completely manufactured.
I think the way Alisae is pumping you up is suspicious. I also don't think Alisae and your posting is very townie separately. That said I don't think Alisae would take this tactic if you were both scum.

I disagree - I think it does. Beyond that, Flea actively campaigned against themselves. They’re the only player to do it. Self-voting is technically optimal right, since the only alignment you know for certain is your own. Actively campaigning against yourself is sub-optimal. But in a game with few Scum (it’s only 9 of us, 3 Scum or more seems like a ridiculous reach with powers up for grabs), eliminating yourself from contention seems like a bad idea. At least you wouldn’t rule yourself out, right? So it’s probably Town. That’s my logic.

I don't think that's particularly hard to fake as scum, telling people to not to heal yourself I mean. With the aim being that people townread you for your lack of care of being friended. I see your point and maybe it's slightly more likely to be genuine than a gambit, but it's not much more likely
I think it's a lot safer to read people off their content and solving. Like Flea could absolutely be scum if fae just decided to go with that uncaring attitude as scum this game, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
But for someone like tris for example to be scum, she would've had to fake: a lot of fine solving, her tone (which is towny), her confidence in asking for heals in a natural way, and her willingness to heal Ydrasse when she was the other in contention for it. I'd be a lot more suprised if she was scum.
@andres Flea isn't a stranger to this type of WIFOM as scum, in silent star 3 fae asked to be eliminated and put faer AtE in a spoiler. Not the same thing but comparable I think.
