That is, if you find us scummy for reading iguanas post as townie, fine. But unless you're suggesting that it's scum pushing a town narrative on a scum partner after his opening D1 post, then to find us scummy should mean that Iguana gets moved more into the town column.
Ok, but I think you can find 2 people scummy while also thinking it is unlikely that they are scum partners.
I mean... yes? No? SK or third faction aside, I get what you're saying, but also have mixed feelings on it. Obviously finding two people individually scummy doesn't mean you're going out and looking for or calling scum teams. And it's quite frequent to have more scum reads than scum in the game.
But again, social construct, you can't look at everything individually. Maybe you think iguana's post is scummy. And maybe (naturally, even) you think those arguing that it's townie are scummy as well. But I believe one directly impacts the other. Sure, you could leave it at that, but I think the logical next step is the one that I made ("Scum pushing town narrative on scum partner") - and that sort of thing just doesn't happen. At least, not D1, with no knowledge of what Town PR's are in the game (Tracker, Watcher, Cop, etc) that could catch you out.
I don't know. I get your point, but I think there's more to it than that.
