Ok I’ve read the thread and I have some thoughts. Htm, even though he claims Priest, could be easily faking it. Especially if they converted a CW and therefore, he may not be IW’d and claim an ‘invoker’ occupied him. He keeps trying to draw attention back to me when we should be scumhunting others since he thinks I’m ‘lock-scum.’ Tell me, if I was lock-scum, why do you need to keep drawing attention to me if you can just lynch me at the end of the day. This strategy is a lot like Scum!Ici in AA. Also, he seems have to no care for the penalties of lynching a GK. Another scumread I had is squid due to his excessive backtracking and AtE, a lot like Ici in AA. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
I have made an iffy readlist if you guys want it.

Alright guys, my first ISO, hope I’m not absolutely trash at it
To me, this sounds like a threat. Usually upon pressure, there would be a defense before the player has the feeling to claim. However, it sounds like if even one person tries to pressure them, their claim will go out right away which seems a bit too defensive.
Most likely, this could be an excuse for them not posting their reads which isn’t a very good one. It was at this point that I pointed out that Poke seems to be delaying reads which seemed very scummy. Their response was this:
Once again, saying you don’t know how to read doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to make reads anyway. No matter what, it’s still delaying.
Instead of using their own reads, they use someone else’s reads as if they own it. That’s not how reads work, this continues to show that they would rather let others do the work for them rather than trying to contribute in their own way
The read that eventually came from Poke was very minimalistic, they mentioned one possible town and one possible scum. They didn’t talk about anyone else and there was no explanation as to why they place me and FK where we are on the read.
Poke’s explanation on their Scumread on me is very contradicting. On one side, they said how I contradicted my claim, but at the same time, just because I’m trying to get them to try to read no matter how bad they think they are, they say that I could be Town as well (Also, I didn’t exactly contradict my claim, so automatically assuming that I did is pretty suspicious)
This quote is a response to Max asking how did I contradict my claim. Instead of explaining why I contradicted my claim, they simply said they saw it. Once again, they are using other people’s reads as their own and they don’t seem to be motivated enough to go back earlier in the thread to where they believed I contradicted my claim.

I do want to ask all of you a question that I’ve been wondering about. If I get lynched and flip Town or I suddenly get revealed as an Innocent Child, who would be your top scum read and why?
After asking that question, Poke immediately thinks I’m not scum anymore. There’s no resistance, not even a “Hmm, I still don’t trust her, but Squid has a point there.”
This further confirms that Poke doesn’t suspect me anymore which is still pretty off because of that one post. Usually, it would take at least a few posts to convince someone you’re not scum, but they immediately get off my back which seems a little fishy.
This answer to my question that magically removed Poke’s suspicions on me has got to be very questionable. First of all, there were multiple people that hardclaimed a BD class and just focusing on only one person out of a group is odd. Second of all, htm claimed a unique class that nobody else would counterclaim unless if someone else is the real Priest or if a suicidal scum wants to go for a really bad mislynch. Finally, Priest can easily be proven by having someone be revived. The only reason to cast suspicion on a Priest at this point is if the person they said they would rezed isn’t alive again.
In conclusion, Poke seems unmotivated to try to do reads on their own. Even when they finally do reads on their own, there’s barely an explanation as to why they think someone is Town or someone is Scum. Due to this, they could be using some details that are not set in stone and use them as points with no explanation. The biggest alarm for me is because of one single post. It’s nothing like someone claiming Priest or Sheriff which even then can have some resistance at times, but when I asked that one question, they immediately think I’m Town. And they read the only person that claimed Priest, a unique class that only a high-risk scum would counterclaim, as top scum. That’s why I think GamerPoke is scum

Although this ISO does point Poke to being scummy, the fact that he’s relatively new and in other games he does not post too many reads makes me think most of this activity by him is NAI.
