simply because there isn't enough confirmed info to go by rn, it makes more sense for a scum hunting townie POV to focus on what you can see instead of piling assumptions on top of each other, imo
saying a player is scum because they're acting scummy makes sense
saying player 1 is scum because they're probably aligned with player 2, who is probably aligned with player 3, feels kind of like a nothingburger at this stage of the game
ariess WU last night made clear to me that there are 2 mafias in this game
green mafia and purple mafia
there's the starro cult WU and it seems to be something else (if it's true, i'm bothered by the s not being capitalized tbh)
