I will look at Malcolm though cause he's definitely in my idk pool
from what I know they're a relatively new player. I've played one game with them where they accidentally scumslipped from lack of familiarity with the PTs, which was fair given how confusing the number of hoods were
I don't see why scum would have an "Oh yikes" moment and have to reel back that first post.

Andre goes in on Angela potentially being mafia, but then very much appears to walk it back almost immediately afterwards as if wary they've perhaps gone in too heavily for such an early point in the game.In post 27, Andresvmb wrote:Having said that, I suspect you would have asked your Scum buddies these questions outside of this thread, so perhaps too brazen for Scum.

I don't like this because as I've said i do think NM is scum and i do think it in mafia's interest to be protecting him. That being said i dont have an issue with Malcolm not wanting to get rid of him immediately outside of thatIn post 247, MalcolmTucker wrote:Okay cool, anecdotally only played with them in one game, they did exactly this and turned out to be mafia. Agreed getting rid of them turn one on this basis is a poor idea and kinda suspicions though.In post 193, KittyTacky wrote:NM is an infamous player with a very unconventional and trollish style of play that makes him difficult to read. He doesn't straight up gamethrow or anything but he has a shtick of hammering anyone at E-1. It's often proposed to lim him early so he doesn't get in the way, but I feel it's silly to lim a null player when other players might yet make themselves scummy.In post 190, MalcolmTucker wrote:Can someone explain the immediate wave of suspicion/possible wagoning on NM? Feel like I'm missing some important meta stuff here, most of that exchange gone right over me.
It feels a bit like you quoted everything Andres had said up til that point and just described them in a bad light, more than anythingIn post 255, MalcolmTucker wrote:In post 12, Andresvmb wrote:Hey Pooky.

I know have a Scum game under my belt, so you can go take a look at that and compare it to my play here over time. It should be obvious what I am.In post 25, Andresvmb wrote:angela I’m not going to lie - I find your concern for disclosure around a Vengeful role Scummy.

Happy to change this in time as andre posts more going forward but I feel like this is an okay early vote for now.
Not sure how other people feel, but these posts come across as a bit desperate to come across as helpful townie for me.
Like I said before the initial accusation on Angela before the quick and sudden rollback in the next post hinted at some uncertainty for me, as if Andre was wary they'd gone in too hard. Then followed up after that by a joke to try and diffuse the situation.
Because if you look at the context for these, it's page one and two. Why would Andres be worried about going in too hard?
Of course the all important question is whether or not I think Malcolm believes what they're saying.... I'm not sure. I lean towards because it's hard to construct a case on someone when you're scum, but it can also be hard as town and this does seem like a push where Malcolm feels like it's a stretch but the best they've come up with. it gives me the vibes Malcolm got pinged by something Andres said, but then tried to put words to it and it ended up being more just describing what Andres is doing with a scummy connotation
............im not sure if that was a good read of Malcolm or just me being reminded of how i would try and get early suspicions as a newer player. My final verdict is that I need to see more, but i believe we have a good shot at getting the read right
I will say it's a lot stronger of a start than they had in our last game, that's for sure
