I actually think Deus Asmoth is very towny.

He has been active and always has a reason to vote for somebody. Most of the time it is a reason nobody else has been using before.

Spoiler: A List of Common Scumtells (click to show/hide)

Lurking: Not posting. Especially suspicious in the case of Active Lurking, which is trying to look active while not actually doing anything (posting frequently but with no substance, for instance). The idea in either case is that townies actually care about finding scum, and so should be doing things. Scum don't care, they just want some random guy lynched so they can kill someone at night.

Trying Too Hard To Appear Townie: There's no official name for this one, but being too concerned about your image; specifically avoiding things that might be seen as scumtells. The idea is that scum are very concerned about being found out, and so want to act nonscummy. Townies know they're not scum, so they're less concerned about LOOKING nonscummy and more concerned about finding scum. Note: this is not to be confused with the Too Townie fallacy, a terrible arguement that a lack of scumminess makes a player scum. The Trying to Hard scumtell refers to someone actively trying to appear town, not a lack of scumminess.

Rolefishing: Trying to find power roles (cop and jailer in the BM), often via questioning.  This can also be a tell for certain town power roles, particularly protective ones such as doctors.

Hohoho. Lawsuit from the whoeverthefuck brothers that tried to do that.

Anyway, you've indulged in those three up there, so if we're going by common tell count, you're still the one

You're also trying to get the next-easiest lynch. Why not pressure DA, since no one else has really done that throughout the game?

Because I think Fillipk is scum. I actually think Deus Asmoth is very towny.

I guess you're right. 8 playthroughs (or whatever, it's been a while) and collecting those on the way because I enjoyed having goals over my 800+ hours of playtime mean I'm wrong. So tell me how to play it right, please? I don't want to make the mistake of enjoying a game again.

Based on playing 800+ hours, you weren't playing just to fill out the achievements.  So Hector and I aren't talking about you.
