You're assuming everything he does is strictly very calculated as scum, and it's just not true lol and we both know it. He knows his town meta well enough to know that his positions need to be chaotic, you've been scum with him recently on Worstgen where I misread him for him basically doing this (counter claiming Polar when Polar was already dead basically). So this doesn't really hold up to scrutiny imo. I can accept that your read surpasses that suspicion, and hell, I can even accept that you did go through this process and just didn't show it, but acting like I should have just known he would act in a particular way is bunk.
