The thing is, to me, I know I am Town and the points you make are like ??? To me. Nobody has ever said to me that reacting to events is scummy, reacting isn’t scummy, HOW you react is.
That's kind of my point though, you aren't just reacting to events objectively, your reacting to events that specifically revolve around you. I initially admitted that you weren't omgusing wryly, but when you clarified your read on her later, it turns out that also was an omgus read based on how she interacted with you specifically. Scum have reason to be hyper paranoid about how they are perceived rather than looking at others and there interactions with fellow players.. Scum have inside information, they don't need to do any hunting. Thus it stands to reason that they are going to be pretty reactive to pressure, and in the past, they have. Really nooby town also can do this I admit, but you've said many times that you aren't a noob.
Mafia isn’t focused on self preservation as much as it is cowardly and afraid, if most scum players get into a 1v1 with someone they usually drop it, flail, stop defending themselves, disengage, etc. whereas town fights because Town is like WHY ARE YOU SCUMREADING ME you must be scum
Like I said above, over reacting to pressure is more of a noob town trait than an experienced town trait. But you did say you haven't played in a while.
