The fact it comes from scum, and is coloured as scum, should be enough to dismiss it Melkor. But there are lots of ways to spoof a lie detect, such as if Worst says "I'm an evil overlord", that would come up as a lie (I hope) but with the post not being referenced it means nothing. Even if it is, the fact it comes from scum would be enough to cast doubt upon it imo. I think it's probably genuine, but used as a way to frame the player rather than anything else.
