I only made 3 posts.
This is where I started reading Layla as town; I feel like her ease in engaging with town reads on her is genuine (both here and in 33 and feel that if she was scum she would just be quiet and accept the town reads instead of trying to understand them.
I thought Ffery and notscience both had decently town looking openings as far as page 1-2 goes; the "I thought you weren't going to bus, notsci" seems like a comment that's outside of Ffery's normal cheekiness range as scum, especially as early as that, and the Layla read felt pretty natural.

splitting hairs
i think yours makes more sense though.
I thought pushing back on a very very early read like Vinkah did here felt sort of townish because it was a half-pushback that won't gain him any towncred and I don't think that he would be nervous about Layla being universal town AND it's the worst place to start pushing for a mislynch.
It's kind of weird that I feel as strongly about this as I do, but I do feel good about it and I think the logic makes sense if I managed to write it down correctly.

I think that was a part of it yeah!
From my end of things, that was also a pretty weird game for me because of all the town reads on everyone; I felt pretty awkward about townreading everyone and prodding a bunch of people I didn't feel were particularly scummy at all.
Your opening post is really good if you're scum!

I was going to announce a town read on Vinkah, but apparently he likes red gnomes. Leaning scum.
VOTE: Tammy
Your hope of your friends being town means you're probably scum manipulating them already.
Didn't really like this vote/post: the late jokey entrance when everyone else already found good/decent things to focus on always feels a bit strange to me.

That only strengthens the town read for me: if he stood his ground, his scum motivation could be generating content, trying to get town read by fighting someone, etc. The lack of scum motivation to post it coupled with "weakly disagreeing with an early read" not being a town tell makes it seem like a genuine thought process to me.
This probably isn't a good reason to suspect someone, but I understand the reaction.
