And I am saying that you are lying about that. I did. There is freely available evidence of this, which I am happy to allow others to find on their own if they’re buying your argument.

You know, I don’t know if you’re Town or your Scum, but this thing? This, “oh, so-and-so is not playing the way they usually play?” This thing _never_ works. You’ve played with me all of what, twice? On that basis you have a strong enough sense of my playstyle that you’re comfortable judging that it’s changed in one Day’s worth of posts?

Effort is lovely. What does that have to do with anything?

Which, again, assumes that _I_ secretly believe that it is an anti-Town idea. Which is what I just said. I am not mis-stating anything. You are implying that I am presenting an idea as Town when I “know” it to be anti-Town. Correct?
