My reads list reads more like a todo list at this point, lots of "undecided".
ToDo #1: I tried using bookmarks, but they're more difficult to summarize than pencil on a page of paper, so much of my knowledge right now is where I can't get at it unless I take the time to trawl through these bookmarks again.
My recollection of the D1 drama:
* XD comes in, "claims" town light champion
* All Red scum reads him for that
* Houtarou town reads him for that
* Kyte jumps into the game with a case on All Red
* Odd says, Red and XD are on the same team, and posts a case on Houtarou
* Elmage makes a big post near EoD, trying to end the drama (defends Houtarou?)
Today, XD also starts to defend Houtarou when I call him out for fluffing/slacking. And ofc we all saw Houtaro defend against mothbomb pushing XD. So I might actually be ok with lynching either one of them, and clearing the other based on that. XD is an ok lynch today, from that perspective. Given how WIFOM his "I am town" D1 entrance is, some people pushing XD might in fact have knowledge. Lynching XD could give us some scum to hunt for if he flips village.
My main problem with scum! Houtarou is that too many people seem to be on his team (XD, Naomi Rose, Elmage, ScarletCelestial). So that looks good for Houtarou defending XD.
And I know this isn't a real read, and this whole post looks super scummy, and what's more scummy, I'll probably leave soon and be gone until shortly before EoD, and the people I'd want to scum lean on are the ones that had wagons on them yesterday, so that is super scummy as well. Sigh.
All_Red, Odd, Alsama, Naomi, (Corazon), pk, Kyte, Conspirator are players I should investigate (PoE but not really)
I have some feeling for Poison, Michelle, Houtarou, ScarletCelestial, XD, Ansatsuken, Elmage, Alice, mothbomb.
Generally, having a gut feel for people can mean that they seem somewhat transparent to me, which is basically townish; it can also mean that I have an impression which traits make them look scummy to me. It's really more a "get to know" indicator than an alignment read. (But also, my gut reads suck, and my brain reads are usually full of tinfoil.) There have to be at least 3 more town in my "PoE", and it's not really my PoE because I don't trust my gut feels (and transparency isn't a fail-safe indicator), so I will keep looking at the people on the second list.
Lynching XD looks like going after low-hanging fruit, utilizing the drama of today. The wagon on XD looks manufactured. I think that is what causes
@Kyte_ to feel that the day is weird somehow (but he helped make that wagon, wants to get off now?). It feels right now, that, even with all the arguments going for an XD lynch, XD is going to flip town. I feel town is still in a state where it is easily manipulated. IF Houtarou is town, then we have a towncore forming, and THEN we should not lynch XD.
Hmm, who is
@Houtarou voting?
@Elmage G Ace ? makes sense, if he's evaluating, trying to add him to the towncore
@mothbomb is not joining Houtarou's towncore just yet, why?
Houtarou felt frustrated yesterday, but today he doesn't
and it feels like some posts of mine go largely ignored when they shouldn't, and I don't understand why
