137 Spartan attributes Vasex for getting the game out of RVS when I feel it was actually Somnus that did that. Probably nothing much, but definitely worth noting.
152 Flimsy from Vasex, looks like contributing with reads but with very little thoughts/reasoning. It's extremely easy for him to backtrack on these at any second should he need to.
154 Poor post from Spartan and I don't fully understand the vote on Rad. Lots of theory posting as well which is a nice, easy way for scum to enter an ongoing game.
155 Good from Rad, something I was looking for with my entrance. Surprisingly, not many other people picked up on what I was doing, or at least didn't feel strong enough to push it which is intriguing. I wouldn't expect scum to be the first to push it and so this gives me a decent town read on Rad. I was wondering if others would follow up and how they went about it but there wasn't much. Except for one thing, which I'll come to shortly.
156 This post has me flip-flopping all over the place on Cheap. He mirrors an early thought I had about a Bella/Somnus scum team which I like, however I can't understand his town read on Vasex (the reasoning was Vasex TR Cheap so Cheap thinks Vasex must be town?) The read on Spartan feels really awkwardly worded as well, I can't put my finger on why. The read on me is non-commital, I think Scum!Cheap can take this stance and position himself to join my wagon if needed.
185 Rad, can you expand on your reservations regarding Cheap, please?
Now, I mentioned earlier about scum using my entrance/posting style as an opportunity to push me and I also mentioned I wouldn't expect scum to start the push as Rad did. What I would expect scum to do it position themselves to join my wagon should the opportunity arise. Like this;

Are you trying to get Vasex to put Rad to

so your scumbuddy can quickhammer him on accident?
Also your reasoning on scumreading him for your vote is very watery in

Spartan doesn't like my vote but sits on the same wagon as me anyway. Continues to throw shade my way and angle for my wagon, but doesn't commit. This could very easily be scum positioning themselves ready to vote. Voting is a pretty big deal for scum.
Early page 9 from Bella was poor but I'm not sure if not following the game is AI. I really wouldn't expect Scum!Bella to push me in any way at all though, so, :shrug:
{post]205[/post] Rad has very little reason to leave my wagon here, especially with the positioning from Spartan previously. Some posts of Rad's rub me the wrong way but I think I'm going commit to a town read on Rad.
211 This is really good from Cheap. The whole pushing for a policy lynch is super dangerous as scum and I just wouldn't expect it. The analysis and vote on Spartan is really good, second town read.
214 Another one of those posts from Rad that just rub me the wrong way. On the face of it, a very town looking post (reevaluating reads etc) but I don't understand questioning yourt strong town reads (especially on Day One). Maybe it's just a difference of playstyle but the announcement of it and the 'this is what I like to do' feels bad. On the flip side, it's an in-depth read and it's difficult to do this consistently as scum. Let's see how this progresses through the game.
215 What did you like about
193 Whiskey?
220 Rad, I would like you to read my thoughts on Spartan and reconsider your read on him.
214 Good from Whiskey, I like this.
231 Why did you think my entrance was NAI, Whiskey?
234 and
236 Yay Bella! This is a good spot.
Alright, I'm reasonably happy with my town reads on Rad and Cheap. I think Bella and maybe Whiskey can be town, too.
We're getting somewhere.
