I would guess that scum-IV would go for a more subtle approach to looking town rather than just stating it, especially under that amount of pressure. It doesn't actually seem inauthentic to me, but I am prepared to be wrong.
ok there's a reason why i don't find this convincing At All. when i was thinking about repping into the game, i saw marashu's slot was next, i skimmed the last few pages, and i saw baltar yammering about marashu being scum with titus or something. and my first thought was that i do not want to be fighting that, especially if i do roll scum. but i saw the playerlist was good, the mod was good, so eh might as well practice talking my way out of shit as scum. it was basically a "ok if we get a red role pm we'll meme around and try our best and if we fail we fail". then i got a green role pm oops.
anyway the point is that iv's play here kinda reminds me of that - he said it himself that he thought he was getting a red role pm here upon repping in. like, someone who braced themselves to meme around and have to be dragging their slot out of dirt, had an explosive start, but upon it actually coming to Doing Something, he's like... Not Doing Anything.
however i do not think these two are scum together because deas seems to be making the worst possible associates with iv, and iv is more and more likely to flip today.
i guess i still find iv scummier than deas? like i dunno how much i have to offer on deas other than the ~gutpings~ for his klyne read and i think it was something about his baltar read that i didn't like? and also idk he's sitting on a vanity while not really trying to convince anyone into voting with him which makes me think he doesn't actually give a rat's ass about who dies today so.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
