That. is. mechanics.
That isn't scumhunting.

The realm where Krazy is comfortable just hanging around and about as scum.
It is fucking bad. You know why it's fucking bad?
Because Krazy here is unrivaled in experience with me aside from Ankamius and he fucking knows that this is my towngame.
Fuck, he even said as much earlier in the game.
He only started pushing me as scum when I amped up the pressure on his slot--it's a defensive OMGUS.
Menalque can remember my explanation on the subject. Krazy is doing this game what Menalque did in I Don't Remember The Name of This Game:

Most situations are where the player thinks it should be the above, but are just mistaken, overestimating their townness and/or the competency of the player that they are omgusing.
However. There are cases where OMGUS, instead of coming from town, comes from scum. And these are the cases where a player shows no scumread of a player, or if anything show signs of defending that player, but when that player scumreads them and presents decent reasoning, the scum player realizes that they need to fight back. Arguing that they are town is usually not a good option, so instead, their stance shifts into scumreading the player that they previously were not.
These are cases where the aim of the scum player is not to lynch the player in question, but rather discredit them. Failing that, to convince players that the fight is TvT (well, close enough in this case).
That is the basic difference between town omgus and scum omgus. The aim of town omgus is to lynch the player that they are omgusing on the basis of believing (quite often mistakenly) that the push on them came from scum.
The aim of scum omgus is to save the life of the scum player.
This is a scum OMGUS done defensively.
Krazy was townreading me.
My scumread on him is nothing new.
I've scumread him the whole fucking game, and called him lockscum since his scumclaim at the end of D1.
The only thing which has changed is that I amped up my pressure on my scumread on him.
Krazy can't defend himself by calling himself town.
So what he does is bullshit a scumread on me, in the hopes of discrediting me and/or convincing players the fight is TvT.
