Sorry for the delay, was driving home from work.
That doesn't answer my question. I'm asking, from your perspective, what is *a* valid reason to pressure *someone*. It could be a specific person or not a specific person, and it could be any reason you can think of, but I want you to give me an example of a valid reason to pressure someone.
If you are looking for a cookie cutter reason to find someone as scummy, I don't have one. The closest thing for me would be trying to gauge whether a person has a genuine interest in catching scum. You for example, started questioning me and oro earlier in the phase and just dropped it. It seems like you were following something you may have thought was a lead but without any explanation of your intentions, and then just stopping in the middle of it, I have to ask what the point of it is. Are you really trying to catch scum as a townie, or is your play as scum to look like an aggressive and intimidating detective to deter people from looking into you and give out what you hope are town vibes? But my previous answer does apply, some because the same logic can't be used for every player. If someone I know and expect to be a high poster as town is playing lazy like. I might wonder why that persons less interested, but I wouldn't wonder why someone like greyparrot wasn't interested in contributing the same way. If I know someone has a high ego, and is going to defend that at all costs because it's in their personality to do so, I'm less likely to think their behavior is defensive or scummy where as I might think it was scummy if Airmax reacted to defend his ego as opposed to trying to scum hunt. I take things with a grain of salt in accordance to who I am judging. I don't always get it right, sometimes my assumptions of how people play are wrong or outdated. In the Office mafia I greatly over-estimated Drafter's play based on what I thought what something he wouldn't do and was wrong there. Sometimes you get it wrong, but in cases of Virtuoso's themeless game I got it right when weighing in on warren. It's not a flawless strategy, and I don't claim to be the best mafia player, but I do have a lot of experience. And I know you can't use the same logic with everyone. You can policy lynch them all day and they still won't learn, so at the end of the day do you want to play to win, or play to how you think your version of the game should be played?
Heading to bed, I'll be on all afternoon. Looking forward to your "case" to see if it shows any authenticity behind it. If you are town, I invite you to be open minded and not play into your confirmation bias. I am not sure if I should treat that as a scum tell in regards (winks at Coal) to you or not.
