I was told after the fact (by Town and Scum) that my perfectly honest, genuine opening post looked really scummy even though I would have posted it regardless of alignment, so I can do better at thinking about how I'm perceived by others, or something. I definitely need to take the start of Day 1 less seriously.

Someone might have a better explanation for you than this, but I think there are a lot of players that think they can get away with making "cheeky" joke posts for their first post of the game, that end up revealing more than they wanted when players take them seriously. People rolling scum and coming into the game saying, "Sure feels great to roll Town this game :) :) :)" while it seems like they can just say, "I was obviously joking everyone," is sometimes a cheeky thing scum does.

I think your first post had elements of that type of "cheeky" first post, which is why you got at least Red to comment on it looking bad.

It's just a case of experienced players seeing it happen time and time again, whether or not you think it should be analyzed with that amount of weight or not.
