yeah activity in itself isnt a measure of someone's towniness. town reads r flexible. its a magical concept that bypasses the limits of our reality comprehension. i for instance, wouldn't think i am townie, except my role says so. its super natural concept we mere mortals cannot grasp
i have been scum but i am generally very inactive as one. i dont like playing mafia and i generally struggle with fake scum hunting / faking wolf reads. i do powerwolf heavily but get caught pretty soon after 2 mislynches, etc..
anyway smark is not a locked town read. i feel he has the potential to be the deep wolf in the town core. we will find out eventually. eitherway im not planning to lynch an active player day 1. we'll see by the end of today how the other player's activity shapes up
