honestly I have no clue what you're talking about wrt the rest of that though
I do a thing where I don't give in depth thoughts? What do you mean? The one where I look at someone's posts and give a snap alignment read, then nobody actually asks me about it and they just blame me instead? I'm sorry, I didn't realize this game was about sitting in an armchair analyzing other people and never actually interacting with them
it's just straight up stupid to say people can't point out explicitly scummy things even in a vacuum
townies do scummy stuff too, even good ones, otherwise a player would never be mislynched
the most important thing in identifying the difference is the thought process behind it and whether they're acting with intent to solve or intent to act like they're solving, which is really hard to do, which, again, if it wasn't, nobody would ever be mislynched
scumtells exist, but when players call something out as a scumtell they aren't generally using it to mean the player is guaranteed scum. This is why.
If I had any remotely reliable meta, I would not have gotten mislynched, and I would have died day 1 in the ONE GAME I ROLLED SCUM
but hey, you're so good at this game, grats on getting my meta figured out after one wolf game!
You're cherrypicking behavior from a singular game and trying to use it to model my town behavior. I would honestly be more impressed by a "moe never shows up day 1 as town" read because that's statistically more accurate, even though it's got nothing to do with alignment and everything to do with how this forum runs games.
I'm saying this without trying to be in any way self-important, but I don't think I have any discernable meta tells. I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary. The people who are the most right on me are the ones who town read me every single game, because at rand that's roughly a 75% chance that they're right. You can't do better than that. Funnier has come at me over and over with various tells, sometimes jokes sometimes not and none of them have ever panned out.
You're welcome to call my vote on funnier easy, historically I've basically never read him the correct way on day 1 but this time I think I'm right and I'm going to follow that until someone I know is town has a better read than me. Now, you're welcome to ask me to go more in depth on my read and maybe actually try to figure out my alignment instead of just making a passing read to look like you're engaged in the game, cause maybe I was wrong and you actually are scum here, but I don't know if that world is compatible with funnier wolf worlds yet and those worlds are looking slightly more likely to me.
