Okay here we go, ISO by ISO...
- Lost monkey bothers me; their posts feel like they come in media res, which is particularly bizarre when they're relatively low activity.
- MacDougall feels like they're sorting. I like the way they ask questions. The subtlety to some of their reads is a good look.
- Falcon continues to feel scummy AF. Not much more to say here.
- HK is a hard one for me here because I like a bunch of their posts, but then I get small wolfpings here and there and the paranoia just won't go away. I'm trusting my gut on this and going for a townlean, but it doesn't matter how I read them because I'm going to hate myself either way.
- Lime Coke reminds me of Zone Q11, but with a bit of newb!town purity to their posts. They feel like a player who has the experience to be great but at the same time, they play like a new player who has partially latched onto the bad idea that playing scummy is a solid strategy, and is partly just a foal, struggling to find their footing in a harsh world. I feel like they are an easy miselim and I want to see more from them before I see them eliminated.
- Flea is odd to me. Most of what I get out of them feels NAI, but I don't feel like they're actually just fluffing. I think I'll put them at null, tbh, to be PoE'd to Town or Scum later?
- Alison has way too much subtlety and material to her posts to be a wolf, IMO. Still want to hear answers to my questions to her, but otherwise feeling good here.
- Michelle can be a townlean for now. I didn't care for her start, but I've liked her posts a bit more as the game has gone on. Keeping an eye on her to avoid being pocketed again though.
- I think I would hard scumread EnderWiggin if not for feeling a huge degree of playstyle clash between me and them. As is, I still want to scumlean them, though. I'm kinda sussing a Wiggin-HK world but it's not a solid enough tinfoil at this point.
- TH is moving down to a townlean; some tinfoils on the lack of either quantity or quality to their posts despite some good early tone. Those tinfoils are getting stronger by the minute as I reread their ISO over and over so my read there might even drop further.
- Dolby is still a comfortable townlean. I wish I was getting a bit more out of them since I think they're one of the stronger players in this game despite the playerbase, but I like what I do see.
- The way Scotty responds to Alison in
#471 feels really gross. "Oh, I made this post you don't like? Well, yeah, it's scummy, but I actually agree with what you were saying even though that contradicts the post that you just called me out for." Their ISO in general doesn't help matters; for a lot of the early game they'd either been playing defense or not really putting in the thought behind their small-ish handful of pokes and prods. I actually start to like a few of their later posts, but the posts I like just feel too interspersed with, for lack of a better word, garbage. [Insert sad kitten here]
- Garden Gnome... Strongest townread ever just for
#544. (Just kidding.) I think I have to put them at Hard Null. I'm super conflicted on this slot; they've posted some good stuff, but their content just feels very ehh overall? Like, I'm not even meh on really much of their posts, just very

. Hard fencesit, feels like. I kinda hate that I don't have a good read here.
- Honey just makes me feel old. They feel crazy pure. Like pure water pure. I'mma trust my heart on this. If honey is scum here, I feel like I could retire from mafia having seen the true face of a mafia god.
- Creature is one of those players that makes me forget that there's a human on the other end. I just don't feel like they are trying to play? I don't know why they're this disengaged, but I don't like it. I get a few townpings from a couple posts, so I'll leave them at a scumlean, but I think I need to see like a dozen of those to not push the hell out of them in D2/D3.
- Seanzie is just being too obnoxious to people to be scum, I feel. Like, they're drawing attention in a way that doesn't feel scum-motivated. If they disappear entirely, then meh, but for now, I'm putting them up to a townlean.
- Listo95 exists? Someone mentioned that they were spending a ton of time talking about themself and I definitely see that in their posts. They seem to be having a bad day regardless of their alignment, but I'm inclined to say they're just scum.
- mansnicks terrifies me... I think they have some good takes but its interspersed with some pretty terrible posting. It feels weird since I think of mansnicks as another one of the stronger players here... Feels almost lolcatty right now. I'mma leave them at null for toDay.
- I kinda feel like TSP is associatively scummy; they seem like they fit into a lot of worlds. But individually... I just don't like their playstyle. I don't know. They could still be town, I'm just like 2/3rds of the way there on a scumread.

That is a list. Given the patterns of votes, I'm leaning a bit more towards Ender being town, but not enough to lose their individual scumlean. I'm happy with any of my scumreads or scumleans being eliminated, but I think we get the most info out of sticking with one of the current top wagons. Maybe Listo or LoMo are better eliminations though? LoMo in particular has some amount of interaction and is incredibly odd.
I'll move back to Scotty if necessary, but for the moment:

Lost Monkey] aubergine
@Michelle @MacDougall You two also had scumreads on LoMo, no?
