Probably town. I think
946 is the more telling post though whereas the vote itself is kinda null.

If I flipped scum, I would look in the people defending me. That being said, I'm not, so this question is rather pointless for me to answer.
Overall, it's mixed signals, but it is that aspect that makes me lean more towards town.
Let's take for instance his recent pivot back to Tweet.
1481 is a comment about Tweet being under the radar. I buy that actually, but you have to be careful with how you interpret that. By under the radar, we aren't talking slipping by snd coasting like lazy scum. No, the way to interpret this is that Tweet isn't receiving a lot of attention; instead, people are more or less dismissing her as town. Whether this dismissal is justified is not relevant.
1548 is a bit hypocritical and Tweet called him out for it, but it makes sense with the current trajectory that Nakata is pushing.
1550 rings as town to me; it has the right level of conviction to it, yet at the same time, he acknowledges his own biases/limitations. While individually not distinctive, it's the combination that stands out. Scum are either lacking in conviction (because they want to keep their options open) or don't admit the limitations of their reads (because they want them to go through, especially if it is for a mislim).
1558 is based on what I'd consider accurate facts and is a fair analysis. Despite the number of times my name has come up, it is only very recently that any real wagon has formed on me. Both the Nakata and Infinity wagon built up in a much shorter period of time.
Last thing to note is that the pivot though maybe ill-timed, didn't come from left field. Nakata has expressed a pretty consistent stance with regards to Tweet; it's only the relative strength of the read that has wavered some.
In post 1355, clidd wrote:(4) What do you think about Nakata' initial paranoia on the players who were inside his wagon?
I assume you are referring to roughly
851 and nearby posts here. I think it's a natural reaction pretty much everyone initially has to their own wagon. It's just the nature of one's personal bias.
In post 1355, clidd wrote:(5) Which post reflects you as the most scummy(or towny) from Nakata's iso?
I'm not paying enough attention to give a definitive worst/best post. I think many of the posts I've linked above go towards towniness (though some are more neutral/nai). The posts like
903 where Nakata seems worried about how his posting style is perceived strike me as his worst posts.
His vote was the worst of the six I quoted. Most of my views probably align with Tanner's on this slot. I do think he is doing what is most convenient for his survival, and I wasn't a fan of
738 or
741 where he basically says everyone is scum. I don't think he did a good job responding when I tried to get some insight into his thought process around
1222 and later. Also in response to
1240: I don't have a read on Ydrasse and probably won't have one. Her playstyle is not the kind that "fits" so to speak to my scumhunting sensitives.
1244 by the way was an irrelevant remark made in an attempt to dismiss the question.
That being said, I do have reservations of going flat out "Robert is scum." The low hanging fruit argument is one of them. I also think that string of posts that I called him out for (for complaining about others thinking he would get replaced) may come from town even though it reflects poorly. That is, I think the frustration Robert has shown is potentially town.
Depends on how you look at it. Survivalism does seem to be a theme, and that has clear scum motivations.

1244 and
1188 are the worst. I'm not sure there is a best one from him.
I have no initial thoughts. Glancing through its ISO,
617 and
633 kind of stands out. Chara is very keen on emphasizing
611 is a joke. Idk what to think about it from an alignment standpoint; it just strikes me as weird that Chara feels Ydrasse was offended by it. Maybe I am not reading carefully enough (and Ydrasse was actually offended).
843 and
845 is a respectable analysis of Robert's posts, but I don't think that directly leads to a town read. Overall, no real red flags, but I don't have a read one way or another.
In post 1355, clidd wrote:(11) Which post reflects you as the most scummy(or towny) from Chara's iso?
I pretty much answered this, but I'll add the caveat that I've not been exerting much effort or exercising much analysis on Chara's posts in general.
Her posts have more or less escaped my notice so far. Take that as you will. Looking through her ISO, she mentions Nakata a bunch. Notably, she is pushing for a Nakata fade. Other than that, I don't really see her pushing much of an agenda. Comparing this to two relatively recently games I've played with Infinity, I'm kind of inclined to say this one actually matches the town one more, but that's a rather shallow meta comparison.
