I like your intent going into it and your conclusion coming out of it. I'm townreading soup almost completely with my gut here. It's kind of like, if he's behaving like that as scum, it's going to be to another scummate for distancing purposes. I just don't see him doing what he just did as scum to townies.
As to why I asked you specifically to shoot soup, it's because of the SvS possibility I wanted to explore by presenting you with that kind of request. When you revealed your townread on soup when you did, it made me feel better about both of you, that's one way to put it.
