Because within that post is the implication that Andante nuked Gamma because she was unlikely to nuke back (or at least only send a low probability nuke back) rather than because she's town.
why can't we have both?

The implication here is that Andante didn't nuke me because she's afraid I would have just nuked her back - which might seem reasonable since I had said that I did have suspicion. But obviously that makes no sense if Chell thinks I'm scum, in which case the reason Andante scum wouldn't nuke me is because I'm her buddy!
Yes if you make up a motivation that her post doesn't say then another possible motivation will not fit with it

I think I've seen enough
Say it straight, do you think they’re scum?
Or do you think their reasoning is bad?
Or both.
i think they're scum and if they survive this nuke i am planning to threaten them with mine to get them to abort

Give me a reason why I should retract my nuke on you again?
is the implication of this post that suspecting you is a reason you are not interested in retracting it?

Making judgements on whether the tone of the post is faked or not is part of the game.
But I wasn't meaning to say you were secretly more frustrated, I mean that your posts looked like they were trying to show a frustration with Chell that wasn't actually there.
Well i just told you i had no particular frustration with Chell so that looked like a made up argument to me.

No - if Marci is town I can see her genuinely scumreading me. The other stuff in her post is scummy though.

It seems like Marci is trying really really hard to make it seem like she feels absolutely no pressure whatsoever, and give the impression that she's town who is cool as a cucumber in the face of multiple nukes and scumreads. Her enthusiasm and shitposting feel super forced.

I mean Marci has fooled me before so it wouldn't be first time, but i dunno what you would find so convincingly scummy about Marci's play this game.

why can't we have both?
I think the emphasis would be different if so. Like if Chell wants to say "look Andante is dodging nuking her scum buddy" then the stuff about Gamma not using her nuke yet is beside the point. And yes it could be that Chell is making a general call out of Andante being sus in whatever scenario but that doesn't track with her claimed confidence that I'm scum.

To me it reads like a call out for me specifically to notice that Andante had avoided nuking me because she was worried I'd strike back - and that I would then reach the conclusion Andante is scum and I should nuke her. Maybe that's just my perspective but that was the second instance of Chell backing up a suspicion I'd stated so taken together it looks manipulative.

i guess you would rather believe chell is a 12D chess player than consider for a moment that she could be town.

i think that is because you're scum
