Reads List -
Poison-Chan - Lean Town
This one will probably come across as surprising, but having just played on the same scum team as her - Poison is very unconfident in her scum game. In this one, however, she is insisting that she should be town read - this is poor play of course, but it reveals a mindset to me that Poison feels she is playing a game that people have typically read her as town for, and is frustrated it isn't going that way. I'm not fully confident in this read by any means, as she may simply have more time to dedicate to this one which is resulting in the difference in play, but I don't know. I'm probably not voting here any time soon.
Imperfection - Lean Town
A bit of a guess really. Imperfection has kind of just been here in this game for me. That said, mygeneral feeling from his posts are that he's trying to solve the game. Based on last game, I feel like he'd be a lot more cagey than he is here, if he were scum.
-PK- - Lean Town
His arguments have felt genuine enough. To be honest, I haven't paid enough attention to him, so this should probably be null, but I don't see much of any difference between this game and the last one.
SoulKiller - Lean Scum
A gut read, honestly. I don't really propose a lynch here, but Soul's play this game has felt fairly opportunistic. I've yet to see him really get his teeth into something and the few interactions I've had with him so far have not given me a good feeling about him. But I think a lot of players approached Day 1 fairly apathetically, myself included, so this read is subject to change based on his content this DP.
Toujo - N/A
I never saw much reason in giving a read on myself.
Elmage - Lean Scum
When he subbed in last game, Elmage was immediately a threat. Even though I felt I got him onside then, I was constantly wary, as he was clearly hunting out scum and had the capacity to do so. There is a reason he was killed fairly early on. This game? He's not really done any of that. Someone mentioned he tends to get going more in Day 2, so we'll see.
Ansatsuken - Lean Scum
This is a difficult read, because I have almost enough reason to read him as Town. For example - his above case on Soul. I doubt they're scum together, to be honest. But I don't know, I guess I expected him to pay more attention to my slot this game? It seems like he's been fairly content to just let me do whatever I please. Which gives me the impression he doesn't want to get into it with me this game. But you know, now I've typed this out, it could simply be nothing about my play has set him off yet. i think I'm moving him into Null/Lean Town. I really am flipping both ways on him right now. Please try to engage me more Ansa <3.
TSQ - Null
I don't know how to read this guy. He feels like Luk 2.0. Town, I guess? Meh. I don't even know what to look for.
Michelle - Null
Mich's play thus far has been pretty disappointing. That said, she's also playing in NF's favourites, which after a 48 hour Day 1 had over 4,300 posts made in the thread. I can understand it being time consuming. Would like to see less bystanding from her this DP.
beeboat - Lean Town
A bit of a guess, beeboat is a good player who can replicate his play as either alignment. I feel like one post stands out - where beeboat points out how he believes X is telling the truth regarding his circumstances. That tells me beeboat is genuinely processing the posts made, so he gets a lean town for now.
Alice - Lean Town
Gut read. I don't have much to say about Alice's play. I struggle with reading players like her, but I don't want to just keep her in Null all game either.
Ryu - Lean Scum
Has this guy done anything of note this game? Honestly, if there are vig targets, he should be one of them. Last game he was a lot more active and persistent.
Angelus - Null
Feels a bit cheap giving him Null, especially as he has a lot of content from him, but a lot of it just doesn't ping me one way or the other. I'm going to need to engage with this guy at some point. Gun to head - town?
Rej - Lean Town
Rej has been very proactive this game. I don't see this as, what was the term, powerwolfing? That being said, all those town reads, and Naomi was the kill? Might not be as weird as one thinks, really. I am wary he's getting an easy pass through this game, though.
XTMF - Lean Scum
Honestly, it's more I'm hoping he's scum. Because if he's town, I'm going to need some sort of explanation for his play this game. I'm backing off of him a bit as I want to see what he's going to do outside of my pressure, but I really hope he tries to level with me here. He's obviously not the lynch today, but definitely worth revisiting Day 3 if his content doesn't improve.
JJCB - Null
Like Mich, he's also in Favourites. He's also very active there. I'm disappointed in Juan thus far. He's done almost nothing all game. I know he can do better. Please be more active, otherwise it's only going to get harder and harder to engage yourself.
Queen Emila/The Ancient Centurion - Scum
Not much point going too deep here. Short of sanity affecting results, this should be a scum flip. I didn't love how he buddied my vote last DP, and I can't fully reconcile that as him looking to bus a scum mate either, which is throwing my X read off. As for Emilia herself, she made one post, and the only thing of note I had for her was that, out of everything in the thread, she saw fit to comment on a signature containing cake, and nothing else whatsoever. It felt like a very cagey, inhibited mindset, so I'm not entirely surprised to see this slot as red.
Tigerrr - Town
Probably my strongest town read. She's way more aggressive than last game. If she's changed her scum game this quickly then fair play. I'm being careful not to sell Tigerr short though, as I think she is capable of improving very quickly. Still, not lynching here any time soon.
Aether - Null
I don't think he's put much effort into this game so far. Gun to head - scum.
I can't put together a scum team from these. If we assume the Emilia/Centurion slot is flipping scum, I'd probably move X to Null, and check whatever interactions Centurion had. I think I'd move Ryu to Null/Town too, due to Emilia's one post being directed there of all places.
