Boys you gotta get some better scumreads because I'm town, Menalque is very likely town, and I think Malcolm is too

Okay Well Done is super obviously town here, for a very simple reason: Dunn doesn't have the balls to push Flavor Leaf day 1 as scum. He plays scum like a background character, mays easy votes, tries to avoid drawing attention to himself. Here he's doing the exact opposite of that and drawing negative attention from the most active player in the game. It's a million miles outside his scum range.

Aren't limming Princess less harmful late game, where scum higher likely to hit scum?

Of course if we suck up completely, which probably will happen.

Here's where I stand right now.

If you want to act like I haven't given my thoughts on nearly every single slot on the game bar a few, like The Keeper or your slot, it's because I was still needing something more concrete for the both of you.

I would say this is your first major point of action during this.

The fact that it came after my Mastina push and not my Catboi one makes me think there's merit in Mastina/Well Done being on one scum team, then Catboi/Cassowary on the other.

The rest is probably somewhere in my town reads because I don't expect to be correct on Day 1 with all my town reads, i fall in pockets early, and that's okay.

Or at least, the town side of it
See, you have to consider: having good/reasonable townreads in games dosn't mean a whole lot. This is especially true in multiball, where scum can just legitimately townread people for entirely true reasoning. (in regular games too though I've been fooled by people having reasonable townreads but still being mafia). It's because anyone can fake townreads and have them make sense, townreading pyers other players townread is safe, but the hardest thing for scum to do is push legitimate scumreads.

And yes, I know the immediate rebuttal is "but this is multiball and scum can legitimately scumhunt in it, but even so I think conventional reasoning
mostly
works and you can find scum by looking for people who aren't really scumhunting or are pushing arguments based on faulty reasoning because they're just trying to get someone eliminated and don't care what their alignment is.

That's my preliminary assessment from kinda sorta skimming for the past two days. I want better reads than this.

I have to remind myself that this game has 9 (!) scum in it, and therefore there is going to be a lot of nonsense on any given page

I am vibing with this reads list
I colored Klick's last reads list onto this list that they agree with and don't understand why they agree with it. Some explanation would be nice.
That is also way more attention to detail than I can afford t have right now, good catch

Rule out the people who are super obviously town, group together the rest, and you've got decent odds of hitting scum regardless. Respectable response to well done though

I think that Flavor Leaf's reaction to getting scumread by Well Done fucking sucks. The progression from scum reading them -> calling them wrong town -> getting tilted at them and calling them liock scum is super sketchy. It doesn't look like a genuine evaluation but scum shifting through different angles trying to get the heat off them. It's a very Prism-esque progression, it just feels very fake. The attacks read more like playing offense to play defense because he's really bothered by the scumread on him. I would think that if he had truly gotten frustrated with Well Done and thought they were town just dumbly tunneled on him, he'd just back off and stop engaging with them, but instead he keeps going and 180s. The only reason I can see for this happening is because he's
really
bothered by their scumread on him and wants to discredit it. There's not even really a possibility he gets yeeted Day 1, he just wants to stamp out all opposition to him.
