I have no prior meta/history with any of you so this is largely based on prior experience and not based on any past data on MSU. Regardless, his entry here screams of being "present" - not that this is necessarily alignment indicative (a villager too would desire this) - they're super level 0 based reads that have no real bearing on the game and are really just "fluff" under the guise of content/appearing to be following the game in some meaningful manner.
Whilst a lot of my "case" is tone/experience based (meaning there is very little circumstantial/objective evidence (cause lol at having that after 3 posts), MSU's re-entry a number of hours later is based on reads that arent really going to ruffle many feathers (i.e. someone who puts in just enough work to kind of stay under the radar/doesnt butt too may heads with people, which in turn, would raise awareness about his own contributions to the thread).
He's kind of an easy guy to pick on early cause he hasnt really been able to contribute much but statistically speaking wolves are, by nature, more reserved (barring a few spammy ass wolves) so he's probably a good person to prod tonight while I am slaving away at work.

I actually think my case on fontisian is more objective in nature (based on the first two pages) - its become apparent I wont be able to catch up fully because I am a slow ass reader but I'll post my feels on him quickly as well.
Yay - you knew what I would ask.
I disagree with your MSU read. I think it is purely neutral so early in the game. I also want to show im present and participating if I'm a villager. I assume this is general for most people.
Also him posting a post 2 hours later than expected ( i understand it as he wrote it but forgot to click "submit reply" is more villagery than scum in my mind. Although I was tricked of something similar last game -_-
But bubher> Would you consider being neutral-ish a scum tell or more like a certain style? I know that I'm usually very uncertain of my reads early on, and therefore tend to talk in "slightly wolf/small villapoints/probably neutral" terms. From my experience ppls style are more important in reading this than their allignment
