this is town and anyone not agreeing with it will be looked at tomorrow after her green flip/scum shot.
Fixed that for you.

It is when you know what the role is and the player handling it.
I can get away with softing it because scum can't do anything about it.
Claiming the role is sub-optimal D1, but it doesn't really matter
that
much--the play is mostly the same regardless of whether I claim it, don't claim it with softclaims, or don't claim it with no claims. I just prefer the middle option because I like to.
I guarantee that were I to claim you would know why I've said everything I have and agree with it, that everything I said was true, that there isn't MUCH of a difference between me claiming it and not claiming it, but that I am right in my assessment that while it doesn't matter much, claiming it on D1 is still notably suboptimal to not claiming it.
Plus, scum aren't gonna
actually
guess my role in spite of the softclaims. They can't. I am so confident that they can't guess my role that it allows me that freedom to softclaim all I like. I can be as blatant as I want with my soft; the scum still won't know what hits 'em until I fullclaim.
I mean.

~ April Ludgate, Korina, Rathe, Whemestar, Noraabear
The slot has my three scumreads on it in the order of strength on them (April > Korina > Rather strongest to weakest), plus a player who I initially scumread that's prone to OMGUS'ing and tunneling even if the player who scumread them later revisits that read and thinks it to not be true anymore (Noraabear); the only vote there which is clearly town and yet not easily explained is Whemestar.
It's possible rathe is town but rathe is a poe scumread of mine.
I realize rathe is LHF--but the poe is the poe.
Smoke and Mirrors are town by play and town by claim. Their play more recently is less town than I'd prefer, but their early play radiated town in a way I don't think is scum. Even without that, their role is one that I don't think is scum, and we have mod confirmation that it IS a real role. Or close enough. (The mod has confirmed the existence of koalawang being a game mechanic; the prizes for it aren't confirmed but the mod-confirmation of koalawang being a thing confirms the role, the details of the role are frankly irrelevant.)
Superb Subtlety are clearly town here--given my slight doubt in Smoke/Mirrors, I actually am thinking of backing them up. In many ways, they're the inverse to Smoke/Mirrors: instead of starting strong and degrading to 'okay', they started 'okay' and have gotten stronger and stronger later into the day.
WhemeStar's play has radiated town and his claim looks incredibly town.
Raya seems incredibly town by play, natural, at ease, reasonable, having good stances and opinions.
Mad Hatters Tea Party also has looked incredibly town the entire time, start to finish.
Noraabear's play could be scum, but I don't think it is; Noraabear's play overall looks town and the claim is also one that I think is town. Noraabear was dead on the money even if she insists she didn't have a real point when she said that the reactions in that area damn Korina because she handled that area in an incredibly town manner and Korina bluntly, didn't.
PenguinPower and Battle Mage are lesser townreads but still look more town than not.
Which leaves a POE of {TFL, Rathe, Korina, April Ludgate}. Of the four, TFL looks vaguely town albeit not enough to be a real solid townread.
So the POE is {
Rathe
, Korina, April Ludgate}.
I realize for D1 this is probably not a perfect solve, but perfect is the enemy of good and this is good enough of a solve for D1.
