Lemme reply to the mention first.
@Finalbeta pretty sure I have expressed my views on you before your projection on the fire talk, iirc, it was probably a reply to your seeking way of scum tale being the active ones. So here's a little bit of my thought process, you are well acquainted with a picture of scum tale and town tale in your mind and you can switch up your position like that and try to sell the story how you want. We all do that when we have something to hide I think.
when you say it sounds a OMGUS I can't help it because you always popped up a little to sudden and look out of place and that's when your slot becomes a little hazy in my good book.
Now, @bold why would you as a town have a thought process like this and try to avoid interaction when your primary focus is to find scums, that is possible only through interactions?!?? Or am I getting this wrong.
