Reads list
Dess - kinda 50/50. Didn't like his vote on purple, seems opportunistic like I explained before. Didn't understand several of his reads, felt fake. His way of talking is unusually un-casual (that should be a word) and that's concerning me but his explanation I can buy and in places he feels quite townie.
Tim - strong town, feels just like he did when town, very different to how he felt as scum, makes sense to me that he's town based off that pattern since I doubt his scum play has changed this drastically in such a short space of time
Notme - slight town, doesn't feel like he's holding back like he did when he was scum before, and his post where he gave his theory on what the clock did felt like a townie raxo post, not sure why though. Like, specifically saying "I guess clock does this <insert what ender did with his setup>" in a way that sounded like he was sure of it even though I could tell that's not what he meant to come off as, made me think it was townie, dunno why though
HK - moderate scummy, scummy entrance, his interaction with me felt quite townie but interaction with TWG felt scummy and his reads on the last page felt a bit fake. His read on me felt quite genuine though, makes sense hk would see me suspect him and get paranoid I'm setting him up for a lynch since I've done that quite a bit as mafia to him, but I think he could fake that as town as well
Omni - neutral, don't really have a clue how I'd expect him to be as mafia so I have no meta read there, and he's not done anything that's given me a read on him
Aqua - moderate town, feels townie for the most part, his turn around on me when he suddenly thinks I'm scum felt genuine. After I town read purple he said purple was 90% mafia and justified why he wants to vote her by saying it was still useful to do so even if she was town, and that felt like preparing to be wrong slightly just so he doesn't feel 'I was completely wrong and inf was right', more 'yeah I was wrong but like I said it was still useful to lynch her anyway so I still did the pro thing' which means he's probs genuinely trying to read people correctly and not be embarrassed after the game. Also saying that purple got herself lynched and putting the blame on her again feels like a way to not feel like he made a mistake if he's wrong, kinda like when he lynched UNU as town and said UNU was being objectively suspicious and it wasn't his fault. Which means he's considering being wrong and not wanting to feel responsible, which means he's probs not mafia. One thing that bothered me was how he suddenly shifted to talking formally and using full stops when he first agreed with me on purple but it's probably nothing relevant to his alignment?
Notty - mostly townie, if not then neutral third party, isn't pushing an agenda or trying to pull strings, just kinda floating in the distance with her own theories and doing what she thinks is best, and trying to get others to vote who they personally find suspicious. I say townie or neutral third party just since she has that kinda neutral, distanced feel about her that I don't think she'd have as mafia but could have as town or third party. I'd say she's probs just town though, feels right
Brian - slight scum, entrance felt off, his post where he came back like 'It's funny because I know I'm innocent but people are voting me so what did I do lol' feels like faked confidence in being town, just doesn't seem natural to me, dunno. But he didn't really try to defend himself much or address the points against him and I wonder if he'd be more inclined to do that as mafia since he'd feel more pressure to succeed for his small team so wouldn't want to let them down by being lynched since that's a big let down for a mafia partner, especially compared to a townie since it's not as bad being lynched as town + I think some people feel a kinda diffusion of responsibility as a townie, so there's less pressure for you specifically to perform well compared to when you're mafia, so that makes me doubt my read on him a bit since I thought he'd have panicked more and tried harder to get votes off him
Kropp - neutral, not done anything to give me a read yet. His posts are helpful but that doesn't make him town of course
Stranger - strong town, same reason as for tim
Vy - neutral, been wanting to stay quiet about him since after the thread lit up and got meaty I wanted him to come online and do some scumhunting on his own accord, without me prodding him to, so that it seemed something he wanted to do because it aligns with his objective rather than because someone is suspecting him for not doing it. I could understand his lack of scumhunting before since it was early, there was little content to scumhunt with, and we had a big clock and poem to ponder about so it made sense to me his attention was on that, but now that the thread has fired up there's surely something he'd have to say or some read to give, but he's not come online and deadline is near so I'm just gonna say this now since I doubt he'll be on in time for deadline judging by his pattern of activity so far (consistently coming on at 4am so far I think). I'm just a bit weary that he's just focused on the mechanics/poem and did what I read as a policy lynch vote on aqua, with no insightful scumhunting like he did before as town. Again I can understand why his attention would be on mechanics and stuff, and when he was last online the thread didn't really have much to get reads from, so I'm not too worried, just want to bring it up and let you all know to expect a lot of insightful scumhunting from him in future days, because that's what he's capable of, and if he doesn't deliver and feels underwhelming then I'd be suspicious of him. Also been wondering if he's third party and that's why he's so in the background since from what choco told me he was pretty scumhunty as mafia, I know he was scumhunty as town, this game he hasn't shown that so is he third party and that's his meta pattern? But again I can understand why he'd be the way he is as town too so not too concerned rn
UNU - kinda unsure, slight scum though since his entrance felt a bit stiff/awkward (just saying 'Hey' then answering the questions, no joking or anything like there was last time), and his post calling me out specifically about my reads just felt like an awkward, forced attempt at blending in as being useful and felt a bit scummy. But I feel like he'd make more of an attempt at giving well-thought out reads as mafia so that he didn't get under suspicion since that's what he did as mafia last time so I dunno
Molten - slight town for feeling different to last game (when he was mafia) and feeling more similar to two games ago (when he was town), but not as confident on him as I am for tim or stranger since the difference isn't as strong.
TWG - slight scum since his interaction with hk felt like two teammates, and he's being a bit aggressive this game and he said to me that he gets more aggressive as wolf on werewolf so I wonder if it translates to mafia on forums
Purple - town, tone/intuition, feels pure, didn't seem to be making her M&M posts as a tactic to seem town since she didn't seem to understand where I was going when I was probing for that and I think she'd understand it if I was onto something and answer more directly, it didn't feel like she was just pretending not to understand. I can buy her explanation for what I previously thought was 'busy-work' as well
Idk, this reads list feels really weak and this game seems pretty difficult so far, I don't feel confident in my reads at all fyi, but yeah here they are
Agree, do not go for a no lynch. Town almost never benefits from a no lynch. Either lynch me and have town learn how I play at least for next time, or lynch
TehBrian if you think he really is scum. My vote is still for
Omni tho and If I lived through it, I'd go for
Dess and
Aqua after, since they only started going for me once I was more openly town.
