(fyi, i don't expect everyone to read all these, but it's helpful both for me to be able to mentally sort the game and so i can get my thoughts out there for everyone to read, and even to agree or disagree with based on people who read much more than i did)
page 11-15
still like Ausuka a lot, the way they're challenging people with "why am i town?" feels like they're trying to figure people out and figure out if they're being read authentically, then their probing of datisi ignoring their actual concerns in p#274 reads as townie.
post#285 is reading as townie to me from aristeia.
at this point i'm also emphasizing that i like and dislike a lot of the same people even more.
deasvail entrance is kind of :/. i don't know if i'm warped in my view by their post about me, but it feels less townie than datisi's?
though i do note the next page, two of my scumleans (deasvail/ydresse) both vote firebringer, my other scumlean. so i know that those 3 are likely all not together but that's hard to figure out right now anyway.
lean town:
fireisredsir, scamper, humanmonkey, nero cain, guilty lion, datisi, ausuka, aristeia
lean mafia:
ydresse, firebringer, deasvail
two questions i have, sorry if they're dumb
-do we know how many mafia there are? i read the rules post but didn't see anything about that
-how often should we be voting for our scumreads? is it better to just vote when we have the read or just vote once overall?

OHOHOHO!
I’m not pushing you on tone because that’s a lie you deluded yourself into thinking is true, that I tone read you and am always wrong on it! In addition, I did not scumread you the past 6 straight games we’ve played, I actually solved you as town in mini 2238 before you pushed me out.

i opened up the ISO of the slot before them (which was Eira apparently?) - before subbing in, just when i thought i may sub into that person - it was the only one i looked at - and i thought they were scummy so i'm a bit hesitant there.
okay starting to read the game, Post#

i'm getting town feelings from Post#
108 from scamper, because i feel like mafia doesn't have "gut feelings" obviously, as they know the answers, so someone saying they have a gut feeling must be either inherently townie or mafia pretending to be townie. this post makes me feel like scamper isn't mafia pretending to be townie specifically because it's not just a post on a gut feeling, it's a second conclusion from that gut in a way that makes me feel like the gut feeling was real.
similarly i'm really liking how humaneatingmonkey is getting into the game right away on P#
116 by thinking of the game as teams and making associatives/connections as a whole - they seem solvey in an exploratory way.
Post#
152 sounds a little manipulative/overly-knowledgeable to me from Ydresse - mostly because it's not framing something as a townie read, it's a direct "this is why you're town" that feels framed in an intentional way.
i've read 7 pages, i'm great =p my townreads so far are fire, scamper, humanmonkey. slight scumlean on ydresse, but not confident.

I saw conman was also a substitute. I feel like I'm doing the same thing? i agree that it's actually helpful when you're coming into the game so late because everything is kind of inflated. so i'm a townie and i sympathize with it, at least, not sure how much of an alignment tell.
i considered just keeping notes on a document first, but if something happens and i die, i want to be able to have my thoughts out there, and humanmonkey mentioned on the last page it's better to just spew all my thoughts.

we don't KNOW but 4 scum in a 20-player is usually the standard rate. 5 is not impossible but 4 in 20 is pretty standard.
I think you should always be useful with your vote but like vanity voting your scumread is usally a waste of time and you'll have to consolidate at some point

Why would you expect that sort of response? Or from whom would you expect a skittish response?

The main thing I know about you is that you drunkpost
Given that I’m not expecting the most composed thoughts

Okay. I think you're Town because I think your posts require better acting to write than ConManMick's, and I think ConManMick is writing in a way which makes it easy for them to double back on later. Is that helpful?

OH okay i saw all these people townreading HEM and didn't realize it was humanmonkey, this makes sense now, they're also one of my top townies =p
HAHA i like
385. the observation anyway i'm in agree with ausuka that elephant seems pretty town.
Gamma calling me and HEM scummy in
487 feels weird to me. i acknowledge i'm probably biased, but i'm pretty sure i would've read skitter's posts as townie anyway, and HEM is one of the most townie people by far. scamper is also among my top towns for something i noted before, so their whole group of scumreads feels bad, and like, i'm not seeing their perspective at all, which could mean they're mafia.
lean town:
fireisredsir, scamper, humanmonkey, nero cain, guilty lion, datisi, ausuka, aristeia, elephant
lean mafia:
ydresse, firebringer, deasvail, gamma
i have to go for the night now, but from what i saw we have a week or so, the pages are short enough i'll probably just be able to catch up =p if anyone has any questions or anything they particularlyy want me to look at tomorrow/before day ends, let me know!

that there's some nuance behind it? i think so. i don't even have an in-depth opinion on them yet, it was more-so that particular observation that jumped out at me.
