I don't have much of an opinion on anyone yet. I generally don't get decent reads from the first few pages.

Holden knows my answer to this one, but I'm gonna let lucky answer that. I want to see what's on his mind.

You are correct, in that you are wrong that I pursued InWho22 because I think you are town.

Gut. I gave you a few opportunities to slip if you were scum and none of them happened.

@InWho: Your answers came across as natural and unforced. You get starter Townie points for that.

Yes, it is. And I don't mind the question. I apologize if I come across as traditional in my writing, but my style, structure and word choice, for the most part, is deliberate.

@InWho22
Okay I answered this before as scum (my previous game with Holden), but this is how I figure out if someone is town vs scum: organic behavior and town motivation vs inorganic behavior and wolfy motivation.
It's all tonal. It's not a final read, but it's my best tool to use on day 1.
Organic behavior refers to actions: your actions need to come from a real, natural place. Same as what Aloratom was saying. No leaps of logic were made. No fabrications. No forcing. Even if you make mistakes, just as long as they're coming from an understandable place. Contrast, inorganic behavior where leaps of logic were made to justify a vote. Reads are fabricated and forced. They make mistakes like this because they have to fake not having information, fake scumhunting, fake everything.
Town motivation refers to reasons: your point of view should reflect someone who has no information, no agenda other than to figure out who could be scum. This means you'll have paranoia, self-preservation, concern for the town win condition, etc.
You can fake these, but it's very hard.
Townhunting is as good as scumhunting, because you can use the process of elimination to move on to other people who can be scum.
So do I think you're town? You're probably town. Do I think you're scum? Right now, I think there are other people who could be more scum than you are.
