Hmm, I'm not sure I see it that way. I mean we just had Odd and some others claim that Mango open scummed in the beginning just like last game by overblowing a joke there. Something about knowing a girl there. But that would directly contradict your point 2.
I am not sure I'd agree Mango was open scumming there to be honest. Let's say he even did for the sake of the argument, he quickly toned it down pretty much, so I'd even say he might have tried to mimic his open scumming but soon saw/realized it won't work again and thus forsook it.
So what do you make of the Odd - Mango fiasco then?
Not much. I scum read Mango. As for Odd, I am not sure.
Your second point makes sense, but that's the reason I'm town leaning him tbh. You could be right, but I fail to see why that's immediately incriminating since there could be various reasons for the change of playtyle. Most notably an alignment change would be my first guess.
Yeah but like I said a change in alignment, a.k.a Mango being town here shouldn't lead to it, as Mango plays scummy as town as well. We both know this very well. So I fail to see it as a town Mango mindset.
