1 Kagura (borkjerfkin + nachomamma8)
^
Conftown, removed from list.
If for no other reason, the hydra QT comment again to me reads as a major townslip as far as I'm concerned.
2 The Fox and the Hound (cephrir and DV)
^Scumread, but tackling later.
3 Yggdra Union (giffy and pieguyn)
3 Yukari Yakumo
^
Considered town
. Removed from the list. Bluntly, I've got zero read here, but unlike impostors pretending to be open, I
actually
trust others, and in this case, with me not really scumreading them, I'm trusting the townread. Their posting does look town, albeit not very helpful town.
4 orcinus_theoriginal
^Tackling later.
5 Titan (Tammy + Sir Arthur Dane)
^
Removed from list.
Tammy's posting has been strongly town, and others consider her obvtown, too.
6 Rancid Broderick Drake (zmuffinman and natirasha)
^
Obvtown; removed from list.
I don't care what their claim is. Rancid's play has been insanely town, and if anyone bothered to read them off of play rather than role, they'd be able to tell as much.
8 Breakfast With Stalin (Hydra of ffery and beli)
^Townread, but not removed from list.
9 AngryPidgeon
9 ElementalHawk (Prohawk+3dicerolling)
^Meh, at this stage wouldn't surprise me to be town but this still needs sorting.
10 Carbon Fiber (FourTrouble and F16)
^
Town, removed from list
. Not only can I see the town narrative (albeit not strongly), I also trust others' read, here.
11 Lord Business
^Not removed from list, in spite of having been a townread.
12 Just Sheep Us (Broseidon and Desperado)
^Nullscumread, so obviously still in list.
13 Red Gyarados (Brian Skies and notscience)
^
Removed from list
, for reasonz. (And ns being obvtown at beginning.)
14 Cupcake Panda
^Probably town, but not strongly enough to be removed from the list.
15 PeregrineV
^Scum, so obviously in running.
16 Clyton
^Actually, there's a concern about Clyton. Though townread, still in list.
17 Mac
^
Obvtown; removed from running
. Mac's been highly, highly town the entire game.
So when you remove the town names, you're left with:
2 The Fox and the Hound (cephrir and DV)
4 orcinus_theoriginal
8 Breakfast With Stalin (Hydra of ffery and beli)
9 AngryPidgeon
9 ElementalHawk (Prohawk+3dicerolling)
11 Lord Business
12 Just Sheep Us (Broseidon and Desperado)
14 Cupcake Panda
15 PeregrineV
16 Clyton
...Nine names. A little over double, so oh heck with it, might as well explain further so that we can eliminate some.
8 Breakfast With Stalin (Hydra of ffery and beli)
^The concern here has been in ffery's lack of strong presence, I suppose I could say, but overall, they're still one of my stronger townreads. The reason basically boils down to their thought process. Though there's not much to see, what I do see looks insanely town, and I can follow their thoughts. They seem to be asking all of the right questions, and be considering things and I've really liked a lot of their overall presence, even if it's not been something easily identified as being a strong one.
So while they can be scum, I don't really think they are.
14 Cupcake Panda
^F-16's case is a good basic starting point for this one, as is Katsuki's overall lack of extreme presence. While Katsuki has somewhat learned to control the lurking/not-lurking scumtell (lurking more as scum, and being slightly more active as town), the tell still is somewhat telling, in that a town-Kats is less motivated to actually put in the effort into looking/being town and is content to just do what Kats does.
Leaving:
2 The Fox and the Hound (cephrir and DV)
4 orcinus_theoriginal
9 AngryPidgeon
9 ElementalHawk (Prohawk+3dicerolling)
11 Lord Business
12 Just Sheep Us (Broseidon and Desperado)
15 PeregrineV
16 Clyton
I know. That's three more than it should be, but it's a good starting point if nothing else.
And my basic rundown.
I still think that Fox/Hound is likely to be scum, but I'm actually not sure about that anymore.
Orcinus is quite frankly alarming. His overall lack of presence and focus on ffery/Tammy seems a bit...well, off, honestly.
AP is, well. AP. I still need time to sort him.
LB's been a townread, but I'm concerned by his lack of presence right now.
DesBRO is a minor scumread, because I can see them having their stances as town (sadly), but overall still lean towards scum.
PV's my strongest scumread, because a town PV simply approaches the game in an entirely different manner than what he's shown here.
Clyton's been a townread, but honestly, I'm growing concerned. His posting has looked good (albeit hollow in tone), and he's been raising a lot of good ideas, but I'm worried that he's looked good without having achieved good.
If I were to sort them from most-town to least-town, it'd go something like this:
Clyton
LB
Orcinus
AP
DesBRO
Fox/Hound
PeregrineV
...However, this doesn't feel right. It doesn't really feel right at all. It needs heavy, heavy refinement, 'cause I was really hoping for something more concrete than this. :/
