It isn’t “What’s Townie about this?”
It’s “Why the fuck would FL post this as scum?”
There’s just no incentive.
Put yourself in scum!FL’s shoes. You’re voting Zor, he just admitted to a role which could very easily be scum.
All you have to do is sit back and let it happen. God knows, with all the trigger-happy yahoos in this game, it’s a good chance one of them pushes him over the edge for kicks.
Giving grudging acknowledgement that the roleclaim tracks gives credibility to the claim. Not a lot, but some.
There’s zero cost to scum!FL to just say nothing, and potentially a lot of incentive. Taking out a Town PR on D1, especially a player as strong and experienced as Zor...why rock that boat?
In contrast, there’s no points to be gained by giving Zor that little stability. The odds that someone like me catches it, decides to make a Towncase based on it, and gets believed...
The cost/benefit here for scum!FL is just all out of whack. He’s way, way too good for that.
In contrast, Town!FL giving grudging acknowledgment of facts is a genuine drive to share relevant information.
Flavor Leaf is Town.
