FINALLY A THING TO TALK ABOUT
blotunga: Is this scum!trent trying to get a wagon started already? or is it town!trent fishing? Though I think scum could have a more laid back attitude on the first day since time works in their favor. So I'll let this slip for now.
I don't think that's alignment indicative of Trent, or at least it's not something worth a scumread. He is better than that as scum. As you said, scum are just likely to just lie down and watch the beach while town argues who deserves the noose.
blotunga: I wonder though if scum!carr would vote on the first day's first vote scumbuddy SPF. I think not, it would be too early for distancing, would it? So likely no scumbuddies there.
I think the same: too early for distancing. Besides, with this game not moving out of RVS that easily, it wouldn't be in scum Agent's favor to put a RVS vote on scum SPF (at least without resorting to the Roll Gods). What if a wagon builds up on SPF? He'll either want to look good, bus him and lose a scumbuddy that early, or draw his vote away and instead look dubious.
So pretty much it's as you say, it's too early for scummy tactics to emerge; they usually do after RVS at a minimum. Otherwise the scum risk appearing to be "trying too hard" so to say.
