so according to you it'd be going against how he plays as either alignment
To me, the bio was just a brief introduction describing the approach to Mafia.
I think that would go without saying though. Everyone, particularly those not used to these levels of activity and not familiar with anyone else, is going to have to change their standard play.

I think he's attempting to replicate his town meta, but that, in this context, doesn't make him scum. I suppose if I had to pick where I lean there, I'd say he was town trying hard to appear as town, and I acknowledge that replicating meta is something you would find scum doing as opposed to town.

His argument regarding the bio itself.

doesn't really feel like something he'd need to look for a weird way to justify
I don't agree. I'd say scum have to work hard to justify any sort of town reads, as giving easy ones away is scummy, and giving none is also scummy. It's not natural to them. Which is why I believe that scum go to these lengths to justify their reads, hence my vote.

Is it really though? That's essentially what he was doing, no?
i just read it as a throwaway read that wasn't even against what was probably thread consensus at the time[/QUOTE]
