@Possessed as far as incorporating meta reads into your reads, I want you to truth tell as much as possible in this respect.
If you want to make reads on someone and incorporating meta-reads is your natural go-to, donāt force it but tell it like you naturally would
Math is smart in this regard, truthtell/be yourself as much as you possibly can as scum.
I did that last time and it didnāt work lol. I canāt be aggressive this game, I think I gotta lay low instead of pushing MLs because Iāve been read more town that way.
Also Iām not sure if this is helpful or not, but repeating yourself/paraphrasing a read/direction is a great way to just make noise in thread.
Eg in triple threat where I insisted you were probably scum and that the arbiter should check you, I insisted on that so much because I TR you heavily
One thing Iāve found a lot is asking whether posting something about the gamestate is to ask myself whether town will actually benefit from it or not
For example saying āscum is in the inactivesā is something you want to be saying a lot if your scumteam is very active in thread to try and get town to focus elsewhere.
I can try it again, but last time I did that was the last FoL and it just got me lynched. I can repeat it but I donāt think pushing it in an aggressive manner will get me townread.
Okay, this is basically me saying Iām getting better at scumming and I owe it to this article here, highly recommend reading it to help your mindset for this game and when you rand scum

The biggest takeaway I got from it is not to be afraid of being lynched, because your lynch if you are scumming correctly will just make town very very confused
If you are posting as much as you can, town is just going to have a hard time and will literally slog at making any progress.
(Also I was traitor in triple threat so it was real nice to play scum without fear of associatives)
Hereās another one:
You remember in triple threat how everyone was like whodunnit on the firekitten death? It was me but I tried to get people not to talk about it because otherwise it becomes somewhat obvious
The agenda going thru my head at that point in time was āget town to shut up about the kill so they canāt even come close to thinking it was meā
You learn how to make arguments out of thin air as scum surprisingly well if you try it tbh
Risky though. If someone saw that, knowing EK can killā¦wouldnāt they see that if FKs flip was town?
The idea doesnāt come naturally to peopleās heads, remember theyāre town right so theyāre going to be wrong most of the time
Take thamasaās push on priestess for instance. Canāt tell you how nice it is seeing town scumread each other
In triple threat priestess was the only one to express the idea that āhey maybe its EK that thought firekitten was magistrateā and it just got drowned out.
Donāt respond to those kinds of accusations, just brush them off and continue with your fake solving
donāt even dignify it with an answer or better yet meme it :^) (I can understand not memeing though, just not responding is really good) 
yeh I have to say, youāve actually pretty good at not slanking to death when you roll scum, so thanks for being a good wolfbuddy
