I really question the logic of a defense that says we should keep you around because you play more cleverly when scum then town. That amounts to saying 'I'm a threat as scum and a loose cannon as town, so kill me before I hurt the town somehow.'

And again, the 'I wouldn't do something like that if scum...' defense sounds very nice but in practice is generally not true. Scum do dumb stuff all the time. I'm pretty sure FT knows that, I certainly do and I think that is a rare something people will trust me without hesitation on. Half my efforts as scum tend to be trying to kick over the traces or distract and deflect from some 'oh, crap' moment one of my allies or myself has done. Hell I once got distracted and basically outright said we had a SK or similar because the scum NK got blocked, I think I even said 'Our NK', and, yeah, scum really do actually execute jaw-droppingly bad plans on a regular basis. Or at least I certainly do and I've seen others do it often enough.
