be scum, but especially in this big butt game, and especially on day 1, I'm way more into working with town Taly. Regret is something I can feel tomorrow if I need to.

How do you tell whether Bellaphant is scum or not.
I remember a long time ago accidentally mis eliminating them for playing kind of like this.
Just sort of mild pop-ins with mild takes all game.

I don't see much of an issue with Bella's posts so far. There's nothing particularly controversial or exciting in there but I think there are some pretty clear reads and some reasonable lines of thoughts that could be coming from town. I don't really detect any sort of scum agenda as such either, most of their SRs seem understandable to me at this point in the game.

At worst I think the early vote on BBT looks a bit opportunistic but the read itself feels quite consistent even if I don't entirely disagree with it - there have been much worse votes so far.

Malcolm - I see a consistent scum read on Roden in his ISO - , , , (votes Roden), and I actually like his posts on the previous page where he was talking to Johnny

I'm not really feeling Ceph's scumcase () there. I think Malcolm's Roden progression is fairly transparent. He further disliked Roden's lack of proactive curiosity towards Toad - the "evasiveness"

The "looking at Roden's ISO" could easily come from town who opened up Roden's ISO to check there wasn't something that they missed. This dislike of Roden's readlist is also tracks, because Malcolm also has disliked Toad (who was the one with only Galron in scum reads) and has criticized Galron for having a mostly null reads list as well.

Re Johnny - I'd not noticed Frog's posts you're referring to. Understandable reason to leave a SR alone for a while, I get that.

Re Pooky - I wouldn't say I'm "uncomfortable" with the TR's, I'm just not in agreement that the spreadsheet collection itself is pro-town as opposed to NAI. I don't get why you're so wary at the idea of me basically having this slot in null? Personally I'm just wary of giving the most active player in the game an easy pass on the basis of them doing something which could also have a clear benefit to scum. I thought your attempt to link that with my TR of Dwlee was pretty disingenuous, especially since my TR of Dwlee was not for the fact they suspected Pooky but more just independence of thought in a way that struck me as townie.

I personally don't think scum would mind pooky getting townreads too much tbh.

He is already a player that I think scum would want to night kill before end game, and I don't think of him as an easy player to miseliminate.

And he's not even trying to lead the town anywhere with those town reads.

If I saw him racking up a ton of town reads as scum, I'd probably just shrug and accept he is dealt with via night kills this game. And this is kind of how it feels scum have decided to treat me too.

I don't think they are currently worried about fighting against the most concensus townreads

I'm not sure I specifically noticed this at the time re Toad but yeah, my general issue there was that there wasn't a lot going on in terms of SRs.

My opinion of Toad has since improved though - their play seems a bit more natural to me and they have a self-awareness at posting a lack of major content so far that's struck me as townie insofar they've drawn attention to it more often than I think scum would want to. I also think their response to pressure from Roden was fair and demonstrated a willingness to be interrogated and to respond, which Roden of course rejected.

I don't necessarily have an issue with a lack of SRs on D1, I get it's not easy in a game of this size and a willingness to admit you're lost can be townie vs scum who are desperate to appear busy. But with Roden it felt odd that they had one scum in their list who has the post count restriction, and another who they've consistently suspected but were unwilling to really push when given an opportunity to do so since their read didn't have that much elaboration. Almost as if they were looking for an easyish slot to sit on D1.

I've been feeling Dwlee town because as outlined above their vote on Pooky felt quite left-field and townie - like it was genuinely some original thought. Their ISO in general though does feel very focused in on Pooky individually (from TR to SR) and would definitely like to see more from the slot.

i dont quite trust dwlee yet, but they arent the worst LOL

recently there was a game where me and dwlee were scumpartners and imo their scumgame is pretty similar to their towngame so I think that might be scary to try and read later on ^.^

Interesting point, I honestly don’t see how anyone has any kind of read at all on that slot.

i used to think dwlees more active as scum, but after the discord moderator game i realized they truly arent.

thats the only thing i could rlly think to try to read dwlee based off of, i think their thoughts are hit or miss depending on the playerlist.

It’s likely. I really don’t see either head making that up.
I believe posting restrictions could exist and the game does have bastard elements.

I could see some based on type or something like that. I think a player could have a post restriction and another player be careful about how they say things.
