My usual checks are to go back and see where people place him in their readlist, newbies are the most likely to put him in null, nullscum while experienced scum will take a more definitive stance to mask that, along with peppering a bunch of questions their way. Daytalk existing reduces effectiveness of these unless a response comes super duper fast after a question, so I'll be lookin for that when i go through everyone else one by one

Carmen slot is the worst out of the "will vote pile", ctrl+f of sheldon's iso searching "carmen" and "flippy" is unimpressive and stanceless despite putting carmen up here. TTTT and DDL in comparison have both immediate focus and follow-up later.
Sheldon doesn't post 371 with buddy creature i think, the early pressure on creature doesn't feel like a bus. He puts creature from null to a parked scum vote until he decides to townread him between 914 and 1394 (pgs 37-56). Between these posts Creature loses focus on sheldon. I'm guessing there's posters proclaiming Creature is town too not checking rn but that would strengthen creaturetown more.
No real mentions of MJL outside of a very very subtle shade in 636 and no active attempts to read the slot that I can see, so good buddy candidate. Interactions with Ank feel NAI
