Dumey is Townish for mostly the same reasons Sheep is.

To clarify on JC: it's about the psychology of making their list, taken partly from my own experiences with myself. I usually provide a list at the end of each day 1 (plum tried to call this a Scumtell last game when I did not). And when I make lists as informed Scum, I have to lie about everyone on the list.

As Town, I have honest reads and no reads. They just come out as is. As Scum, it's forced - have to put together a reason why I am pretending to see someone as Scum. Why a Scummate could be Scummy, but I'm unsure. Why a Town person is Town (easiest because it's true). And Scum do over-explain: it is more likely for Scum to provide reasoning on every nitpick because they don't want to be called out for being vague. It's safer for them.

That's what JC's list reads as. Not "fluff", but forced content.
