Both. Sometimes you learn more by listening. I am thinking something might happen.
Don't sit back too long.

If you're town, you should want to be as productive possible while you're still alive to contribute.

If you're not dead before MyLo, I'm voteparking you if I'm still alive because you're either scum or criminally bad.

An experienced player should be able to sniff out scum if town, especially lesser experienced scum. If you can't or won't, it's because you have reason not to.

It was also an excuse to easily move your vote without having to provide a reasonable explanation, and I don't like that.

Titus are you scum? I'm beginning to really think so.
You don't know what scum looks like.

Let me illustrate.

What does scum!Titus hope to achieve by voting someone she obviously believes to be town in such an obvious manner?

Why would scum!Titus draw that kind of attention to herself?

Where is the payoff for scum in going after you in the manner Titus did?

Just because you're a target doesn't make the person voting you scum.

No, you did not.

Besides, you doubt catch scum by looking for the absence of town motive, genius. You catch scum by finding scum motive. Which you haven't.

You don't understand her purpose.

Maybe instead of flinging around superficial scum allegations, you could be more productive by digging a bit to uncover what she is trying to accomplish.

I don't know anything about where you come from, but I personally would never do something that blatantly looks scummy AS SCUM, because it puts this huge spotlight on the person that does that.

Town gambiting often looks very scummy, so to write them off as omghowscumdienao! without answering the why is stupid.

In post 106, knightmare wrote:So basically WIFOM

Do we agree that a townie shouldn't be voting another person who they say is Town? And if so why aren't you voting Titus?
At this point I'd vote you over her because you have zero interest in finding out why she is voting for you despite her read on you.

Your desperation to paint a superficially scummy act as proof of alignment is more alignment indicative than anything Titus has done so far.

Why did you feel the need to defend your naked vote?

Was anyone calling you out on it?

Hairsplitting is a hallmark of scumminess.

Town is gonna get shit wrong, and town knows that much. Scum is invested in selling their illegitimate viewpoint as the right one.

I can't speak for this sim team, but I personally kill replacements if the narrative is going smoothly so as to avoid any surprises that replacements often provide.

Scum narratives are usually tailored to the existing player list, and replacements bring a fresh perspective which can wreck the entire game.

"Hey Dunn, a response to 284 when you can read this: Tracker can also counterclaim cop with Titus flipping doctor.

That you don't even question that suggests that you know the scumteam has a roleblocker."

But if I'm town there's no reason for me to consider a tracker fakeclaim either, or care what scum fakeclaims
You didn't even consider the possibility that tracker was a possible counterclaim to cop.

That's because you knew your team had a RB.
