Scum vs you scum? They'd avoid the topic.
Scum VS you town? You'd be pushed into PoE and they would try to get you lynched. Nothing of that happens.
I don't think you've had enough impact this game compared to your potential, and it's not about you not posting enough, but I lack deep train of thoughts that you had when we solved together in WoW game. Some brave pushes from you. Where is that?
Bzzt. Wrong answer. Scum would absolutely be talking about me because I'd be wanting them to look good off of my flip, or me look good off of theirs. You were scum with me last game, you should know how I approach it by virtue of how I spent the entire last day creating distance from you when we had a winning mislynch lined up already.
Conversely it makes more sense for the topic being avoided when I'm town, though not absolute. In the town case, it goes both ways, some scum like to try and farm under the guise of "they would never pick those fights as scum".
As for the final part, draw it up to interest vs lack of interest. In WoW I was heavily invested and really wanted to find the right solve. Here, and in most recent town games here, I just cba after a point because it's not worth it. I know that answer won't make me many friends but I don't give a damn, it's the truth, I'm fulfilling the minimum requirements of a townie in an SRM game which is good enough imo.
