also any thoughts on mac & jay or others you haven't mentioned much yet? who's on your not quite town yet but possibly could be list
mac is not doing anything, so i can't read there.
i am usually a slow starter nowadays and like to drift my eyes across the thread on d1, see if anything sticks out to me. i don't keep any detailed notes or force myself to take stances if nothing jumped out at me.
that + i like to keep strong players unread because most of the time, if they're town they'll die early (so attempting to make a read seems like a waste of time) and if they're mafia, most likely i wouldn't be able to push them even if i thought they were mafia anyway / they're hard to catch early.
i have made 2 reads and i'm waiting on 2 more now, depending on answers.
I’m getting a vague impression on reading that there isn’t a great deal of consensus so far, that the game is a collection of solo solving pockets without cohesion (myself included). That’s not my favorite thing. Maybe this will help me to sort that:
Could everyone please name your top four town reads, or as many as you want/can if not four? Thanks.

interesting.. but also valid i guess, everyone has their own style it seems. and thats true it is still very early in the game, I think I haven't played in so long that I forget how the first few days can be. strong players freak me out a lil bit too, but do you think that if they don't die after the first few nights then it's likely that they're mafia?

it's on a case by case basis - they could still be town and be wrong on like ~everything, but due to their reputation, even if they're wrong they are likely to get killed early anyway by the wolves.
i'd say if one of them ends up in YeLo (so at must vote correctly or we lose the game) then that's definitely something wrong. i guess first night doesn't really raise a lot of alarm bells. they should almost never end up at YeLo though. if both of them are alive there then i'd say with a high degree of confidence that there must be at least one in between them.
It’s really best to avoid this kind of dialogue. If ted is town, the mafia are now immediately less likely to kill me than they were before this came into the thread. It’s not ideal to introduce wifom into the game beyond what’s already embedded in it.

it's a valid concern - but most of the time this doesn't matter.
doing it for wifom reasons when you can lead yeets on them doesn't seem worthwhile.

is this not a good thing for you, though? not getting killed seems pretty cool to me

Not necessarily. I don’t want to discuss it further. I leave y’all to your discretion.

was it just me that thought gavial's re-entry to the thread was pretty limp
it seemed mostly okay-ish to me, is he usually stronger? lots of jokes i guess but it is still early day 1
i don't know what the usual is for him
but popping in, giving two seeming random town reads on two singular posts, making a readslist (that you can't even keep track of - he didn't say anything about his PoE'd people), and then asking one of your PoE'd people if you can sheep their vote and then leaving the thread seems about as limp as it gets

Main gripe with Gavial is that I can take pretty much every read he has posted in this thread and call it fake without feeling like it's a reach. The hunt doesn't feel especially authentic.

i have an issue with the mac progression
but his re-entry to the thread really felt wolfy to me - it feels like he did nothing with his time in order to advance any reads / leads or anything
