Leaning Town
KK (8/10 C) - Hard TR this slot; have been leaning town on KK and nothing has made me change my read. Clear effort with scumhunting throughout the game; being aggressive with his questioning and having posts like 967 and 529 that demonstrate his reasoning. Isn't afraid to push any lousy logic and is capable of having discussions without fully tunnelling; has outed reads & most of our townreads overlap which I'll take as a sign of similar thinking between solid town. Posts feel genuine and sincere especially when he engaged FL with 2394 and playing devil's advocate in 2402 without actually voting FL afterwards; felt like a reaction test and something I TR.
FA (8/10 C) - TR FA; hasn't made her presence since V/LA which is fair. Active analysis during d1 was solid although her thoughts were brief, she covered posts worth commenting on. Felt like she was trying to develop her thoughts and reads while catching-up and endeavouring to actually sort players out; sincerity, town-motivation and isn't afraid to call out any shitty logic by 'eww'ing' any posts. Need to out reads and comment on d2 happenings but am TR'ing right now. (Dave replace out felt genuine as well which just enhances my read on the slot)
Semi-leaning Town
JJD (7/10 C) - TR JJD for now; have been back and forth with my read since d1. Scumread him early d1 for reasons that felt like lack of scumreads with weight, defensiveness that borders on deflecting and appealing to me when spearheading his wagon (mentioned all of these reasons before) but his d2 play feels town-motivated (people can debate me here); just checked post count and he's topping activity overview while also pumping out pragmatic content and actively scumhunting. Re-iterating that his crumb wasn't obvious or easily discernable & the fact that he didn't hard OMGUS me or call me out when I started spearheading his wagon. Have had games with him but meta is variable so not counting on this to read JJD. Don't agree with his readslist but I see some decent scumreads like whemestar, AA9 and wave (will talk about whether I think hood was all town or not later on). Differ on a lot of reads but am willing to work with this.
Gamma (7/10 C) - TR Gamma for d1 but d2 is lacking and hasn't outed reads yet. Engaged questioning, active commenting and analysis from d1 which I TR; needs more hard stances on players since he hasn't outed a single reads list and been over 100 pages; posts sometimes feel wishy-washy. Need more resolute reads from him and can only see four votes throughout the entirety of ISO; also piggy-backing on hopkirk reasoning (2488) that KK was scum was bad (don't think he mentioned KK previously in detail) and acting confused with posts like 2396, 2401, 2660, 2661, 2786 (can't tell if fake). Overall, TR Gamma but need concrete reads.
ETL (4/10 C) - Not confident on this read right now but I don't see scum ETL hard pushing performer wagon if he was scum; yes, I think tunnelling is scummy as shit and performer was town. ETL is playing naturally and not being artificial in his pushes. He calls out logic that doesn't resonate with him, is pedantic when referring to wording (1979 & 1983) and doesn't hesitate to butt heads with players that SR him (don't see scum doing this; super omgusy play). Aggressive to the extent that I don't believe it comes from scum (even though I haven't checked his meta & games). Semi-TR but not confident and waiting on replacement.
Kind of town
Lalendra (7/10 C) - Feels like newb town although some posts feel forced. Re-reading ISO, don't think anything majorly stands out to me as scum posts; main thing that strikes me is vote-hopping and switching between wagons but not bothered because scum care for appearances more than town so it's something that I TR; not much to add except newbtown vibes all over ISO.
Dunstrall (6/10 C) - Lacking content but him commenting on posts feel genuine and not fake; TR even though absence of reasoning and mostly acting on the side-line and not hard-pushing (could be looked at as scummy since avoiding spotlight). Has avoided some of main wagons and pushing JJD for his misrep in 2388 feels bad; overall, gut says town but on paper, shortage of reasoning makes me struggle to TR. D2 play hasn't been impactful and need more content.
Scioness (5/10 C) - Had Scioness as leaning scum previously but re-read and think the thing that was pinging me was the ease at which he switched votes d1 from ausuka to performer to android; felt scummy because zero reasoning and gave the impression of rushing a lynch instead of actually wanting to lynch scum. D2 play felt better but need more validation.
