I will /night

I want to see how good at scumreading everyone is. Scumreading is the act of reading someone’s posts and seeing how likely they are to be Town or Scum (Mafia, Coven, Neutral) based on how they react to things. Do they get too defensive or are too relaxed while claiming or being accused? Do they not vote a certain player and hint toward voting another person instead? If two players seem to interact comfortably with each other, is it safe to say that they’re on the same team? There are so many situations where scumreading is extremely useful, and I’ve personally seen it be the deciding factor to if a team wins the game.

For example, if you’ve played VIP mode as scum and have seen that a certain player seems very comfortable, is very quiet, yet isn’t being questioned, you can usually assume they’re the VIP. That’s basically what scumreading is. If you’re able to see how someone is acting and take a guess at what they are based on that, then you’re scumreading.

I want everyone to start doing this in this and future games
