Couple things...

Post 33. Complaining about the gamestate when there wasn't anything particularly annoying to complain about feels like an awkward space filler.
"Hmm." indeed. I'm a little interested in why you would think that's scummy given how Bees went (
reference).
This sounded off. Like she already planned to naked vote Bella because she did so in Bees and TTH was town there so obviously she must be town now. The self meta is always a scum red flag for me.

I have a bad feeling about Alchemist, Varian, and TTH.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the IC/SE's from your newbie game were scum.
You can call this a tinfoil if you'd like, but I think she already took a look at my first game and knew that. And she was trying to deflect attention from those that I mentioned with this "guess" of a reason. But in reality, that makes no sense. In that post, I said I had a good feeling about Bella. Bella is an SE/IC. So how is her argument consistent? And it just straight up doesn't make sense that I'm associating a playstyle/posting style with SE/IC players. There is ZERO correlation. Knowing that she attends CMU, I would think she's smart enough to realize there is no correlation. Thus, I believe it was a very weird, manufactured point.

I think it's pretty analogous to the role an SE or IC would fill in a newbie game, thus my guess.
"can't find the right word" is flaily as a response to me saying the correlation makes no sense.
To add to it (and this is slightly reachy)...
So at this point she implies that she has not in fact checked my first game. Then 3 minutes later...
Vedith called her on it, but I will re-iterate. She was dying to know if she was right. She clicked my name, went to my topics, got to the OP, checked the Alive/Dead spoiler, and posted in this thread with a link to the game that she edited to read "Grafitti." It's tinfoily, I know. But the fact that her "suspicion" that I played a game with SE/IC scum was coincidentally correct, and that she somehow tried to defend herself, Alch, and Varian on the basis that I'm paranoid about a playstyle that is somehow universal among SE/ICs (which is nonsense), while also ignoring that I said I had a town feel on Bella, makes me think she was doing a whole bunch of lying and manufactured/nonsensical dismissing of my post.
If she's scum, it may have been a good play on her part. It was early and if it was another player, they may have dismissed their suspicions and moved on. But she picked the wrong person to try that shit on (if she's scum) because it only made me much more skeptical bc the argument was nonsense. My vote stays and I encourage others to consider this point, despite the fact that it is a bit reachy. I feel it's more valid than any other scumreads. Certainly more valid than the scumread on Bella.
