SOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN
colonialbob - BAD
I'll be honest. I liked Sloonei's case. I never got good vibes from bob, and sloonei's case (right around the time I decided sloon was town) really cinched the read. Like with Kyle, I'd rather read through before the lynch.
Dom - BAD?
Who?
"Ya'll talk too much"
I agree, but dang. Also this isn't abnormal for a game on the syndicate that's had a week of 19 players. Dom has been on this site, and while he's displayed this sentiment before, I think he's at least put forward some reads off of the first few pages when not caught up, right? He could do something.
Not sure whether that's scum indicative, but lurkers bother me.
Dragon D. Luffy - GOOD
DDL does have some bad things going for him. He's not entirely consistent, and is playing fast and loose. But hey, same here. Most importantly, his tone is very genuine in most all of his posts. That's all I have without further rereading, and I'm not ISOing until someone bloody dies in this game.
DrWilgy - GOOD
dunya - GOOD
Dunya came into the thread with fire. I think a strong part of my scum spritread from earlier was his inactivity and passivity. Dunya has shown none of that. Should Sprit's read carry over? Maybe.
But let's look at some good points.
1. I've seen general indication that Dunya is treating everyone equally. I haven't seen him buddy toward anyone, no idea who he could be aligned to.
2. As of post 2021, and the page around it, Dunya seems to not know how many mafia there are. I don't think Dunya is the type to fake that for town points. Dunya is an effort maker. I think this is genuine, and matches with him not knowing about K2's role. Dunya skimmed the rolelist, and I think he genuinely doesn't know there are four scum.
3. Dunya really pushed the game into talking again. If he were scum, there are ways he could come in the thread and participate without pushing things forward. GTH reads for example. :P
4. Townie gut vibes. Sorry if you don't feel them.
Elohcin - GOOD
Epignosis - BAD?
Epi's defense against LC was shaky at times, but otherwise I haven't had much reason to suspect Epi. However, I also expect Epi to be a more driving force in games. (this applies to both scum and mafia epi.)
Tinfoil LC Epi alignment (ugh, pls no)
Maybe LC got lucky with his first accusation, even if it was totes bogus?
The reason that this read is still questionable is that all of my reasons for it to be bad don't mesh. I could see Epi as bad. But I don't think it's overwhelmingly likely. In fact, I had his read at "Good?" until I thought about Night Vale. Meta-wise, I could suspect Epi, and I don't want LC's false suspicion to keep me from giving this a fair shake. This read is slightly south of null.
insertnamehere - ???
No posts.
Jackofhearts2005 - EGH
Jack has been super present all game. I feel like he's weighed in on everything in the thread. Why is it that I have trouble figuring out where his head is at most of the time? Constantly shifting. Despite my experience in Pirates, I don't have a good metaread on scumjack. This being an extended D1, I feel like town would be having more trouble with reads than mafia (for obvious reasons). Mafia players might unnaturally narrow down their choices as time goes on (based on what they usually do), while town can't. Jack's ever-changing reads are either a sign of genuine town unsurety or mafia not wanting to commit so early. Depends on how much Jack thinks ahead.
I DO know Jack can really hit the thread hard with a high number of posts as scum.
I'm going to lean very, very light town, depite everything I may have said earlier. I'm tone reading and metareading and playstyle reading, like with most everyone else in this list. Please, convince me one way or another, since the entire fricking game seems to be scumreading Jack. I could go either way.
JaggedJimmyJay - EGH
JJJ is never scum.
No, but really, I don't know what he'd be like as scum. If he's leading, and leading well, mafia will probably kill him and take care of things for us. If they start killing other leaders and JJJ takes control of the game, wipe him.
Also, the GTH reads. First time I saw them was MP07 doing them as scum. Maybe that poisoned me. But they look like an easy way to assert yourself as a leader, spam the thread with crap, make some generalizations, and then . . . nothing? But according to the lists, they're regularly done, so whatever.
Not willing to give out a townread here yet, though. Seems too easy.
Kylemii - BAD
Kyle being scum would depend on Mesk/Lasagne being good, I think. But when Kyle pops in and goes after Mesk, I can'thelp but feel that it's opportunistic. And maybe it's my lack of ISOs, but I don't think that's inconsistent with Kyle's style of play thus far. And then most of today's content has been a meta argument with Dunya that nobody else can follow, and it rubbed me the wrong way. I also had a light scumread on Kylemii last week. So yeah, Imma call it. Despite what I said in one of these other reads, I'll probably ISO someone before directly agreeing to a lynch, but Kyle is a contender.
Long Con - EGH
I know I said that scum LC wouldn't go after Epi like he did on D1. I know I said that. But what if he's pulling a long con? Hear me out here.
Even if Epi is town, whenever LC goes after Epi, Epi doesn't suspect him. Sometimes LC gets lynched by other people, sometimes not. This time the case was worse than normal, so everyone ended up brushing it off. LC got townie points for being misguided and gutsy, and we moved on. I would have been fine with that.
But then LC coasted.
Maybe it's just me not ISOing or missing some of LC's posts, but I don't feel like he's had much to add since D1. That bothers me. Town LC isn't a coaster. And scum LC, based on past experience, could totally run a town meta gambit on Epi, especially if the case is stupid enough that it will fall apart on its own.
I'm aware that this is tinfoil. But it genuinely bothers me, again, because of LC's actions since the argument, LC's approach to the argument (I don't recall him campaigning for Epi lynch as much as arguing with him), the way the argument cooled down, and the (purposefully?) shaky grounds for the suspicion. I don't like it.
Mesk514 - EGH
Conundrum here. Mesk gave me good vibes when in the thread based on tone. If she was actually high, especially so. Displays the spontanaets that I like to see from town.
But then mesk disappeared. And somebody pointed out that the posts weren't as original, interesting, decisive, or forward as they could have been. Leaving me in a case where I want to believe mesk is town, but I'm not so sure. I think mesk is anti-aligned with Kylemii, 70%.
nutella - GOOD
Dat D1 maybe mech clear. I'm getting used to non-Phenon town!nutella, and this feels like it. Uncertain, snarky, striving, not a super prevalent poster but not a lurker.
Quin - EGH
I usually read quin the opposite of what everyone else does, and end up being right. I townread him in Phenon. Here . . . I want to say he's town, but he's done nothing to reeeaaalllyy convince me yet. Maybe if I ISO'd him. Hold up.
D1 logic hurts my head, but I like the way he approached Epi and voted him, asking for others to explain. If scum, probably scum with LC for gambithard play.
Ah, I remember why I said Quin's read is consistent with his CC123 performance. He's spontaneous. It doesn't look, at least, like he's too worried about how he's being percieved.
Even when people say they suspect him, and he asks them why, I get the feeling he's trying to give them opportunity to slip and fall rather than defend himself. He's a content creator, though mostly creating other people's content. I'd give Quin a supah-light townread, but wouldn't be super surprised to find him scum. Nightkill/lynch result analysis should clear this one up (please let today's lynch work).
sig - GOOD?
Actually, upon looking at Sig's posts, I get "absent but trying." Even the few posts he's put in have names reads, some of which were original to him (I think). Putting in OG content, legit excuse of the holidays keeping him away. Not too bad.
[mention]sig[/mention] I wouldn't worry about trying to catch up. Everything will change as soon as a kill/lynch happens anyway. Get in here when you can and pick five random pages and gutread out of them, whatever you have time for.
Sloonei - SUPAHTOWN
Aside from the maybe mechanical clear, Sloon still convinced me from the start of D2 or N2 (forget which) that he was town with a slew of analysis posts that looked exactly like town sloon.
Spacedaisy - TOWN
Daisy seems more comfortable in her alignment than normal, more cool, more collected. Could point either way, but I wanted to point that out. Otherwise, I've seen nothing to complain about from Daisy. She's been a solid town player.
How did you arrive at that
I don't get it either
