Always make the same mistake twice.
Fool him twice... you can't get fooled again.

But the principle remains.
I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to pull that off again, because by now everyone knows how good I am at faking tone and I'd probably get paranoia-lynched at some point, regardless of whether I was actually scum or not, unless I had some really hard mechanical proof of my townieness.

For me, I already thought Zack and GH looked kinda scummy for other reasons- if I was townreading them I might have just thought it was odd and ignored it, but since I wasn't the CFD just looked like another red flag on the pile of red flags I was already seeing from them.
