The general idea is that calling something out makes someone less likely to do it. Even if penguin is scum, they've now lost a tool to bog the thread down with bullSmurf.
Eh, your commentary felt like clear defense of him and attack on me even on re-read.
Also, I'll reference this below.

Do you agree?
No, I totally disagree because all that's asking me to do is make general game references about something that I fail to see why I'd lie about as scum considering everything I've ever said about scumhunting and how it works.
But I'm game to play your tune for a bit just to see how you field it.
An example of a timing tell that didn't work and how it doesn't apply to this game I would reference a game wherein I was scum and was going V/LA. Since we were near LYLO I left instructions with the mod as to who my NK would be in assorted situations. Town opted to 'test' me by arranging a quick lynch. Since I leave my site activity public. In LYLO town became convinced I couldn't be the last scum and cross voted, so I returned from my vacation, logged in, and got the easy win.
That is different from this game...well, in basically every way imaginable, but the obvious one is that since Penguin actually posted - we know he was physically here and posting.
For an example that worked, I was in a game once where a scum (Bella if I recall correctly) was lurking and had a claim against them that they had done so to avoid participating in a buddy's lynch (which was straight up true as they had been active elsewhere). It saturated for a time and eventually got them lynched, I remember it mostly because I was also scum (in a different team) and used it to help clear me after the flip.
It's applies to this game because it disproves your bone-headed claim that timing can't work as a scum tell, and then forces one to ask 'well, is Penguin's action and defense of it scummy in some way?' to which the answer is yes, and you *also* are now claiming that you find his defense potentially scummy, so it makes me wonder why you're wasting my time.
