I think hat is pretty transparent.. and by that I mean I think he's town. Even if I thought he was scum I'd still want to hear people's thoughts on him. So with that I dislike prof's advice for everyone to ignore him.
However, I'm not agreeing with hat's reads, particularly on Stefl and Son1x. Stefl's first post came off as quite defensive for no reason, and the PM thing just irks me a lot. First, nobody would admit it(at least those that played in the round where I did it), second I was town so it wasn't even a good tell.(even if it had been in the past) hat, is there actually something to this post that gave you a pro-town read, or was it just his defense of you?
I'd agree that Son1x's first post was a wordy way of saying nothing, which would ring a bell for me. However, the snarky comeback has me thinking town. Clearly it's not serious even if he were scum, but I'm not sure scum would even be thinking about having to send secret messages to each other.
