You know what, I'll do at least some of it now. First, I'm just going to go through my townreads and what I feel most makes them town. If they're a wide a townread, I'll probably be quite minimal.
AGar: Pushed Flames wagon from start to end. No other problems with him. Generally quite town. Cool.
Malakittens: First to say she didn't believe neil's claim. If she was willing to be so bus-heavy as scum I think she would have actually gotten on the wagon.
392 would have to be very clever to come from scum. Possible, but unlikely.
413 feels unlikely to come from scum due to fear of being accused of lining up lynches.
Implosion: His vote made the difference between Flames being AGar's scumread and being an actual wagon. Concerns relating to neil's alignment come across as genuine, because if scum he's already decided to bus. There is no point in scum-implosion unvoting and pondering about the lynch when it doesn't do anything to change the lynch target and may cause others to suspect him after the flip.
Phok: Voting for Tammy after AGar & implosion express high confidence in her being town is brave for scum, but probably doesn't achieve much at all. His reaction to criticisms of his
98 make me townread him since he kind of clearly doesn't care. Also Flames' push of him is a +.
Tman2nd: I thought he was quite viable scum for a long time, but this all changes with
344. If tman2nd is scum with neil, there is no point in unvoting. The townies are dead-set on his lynch at this stage, there is no real reason to believe that he won't be lynched. It only draws attention that scum would not want. For town though, who don't know neil's alignment, it's totally reasonable and makes sense.
Rack: Never thought he was scum really. Reaction test thing is totally crazy and therefore more likely from town imo.

Aneninen: Slightly weaker townread than the others but still a townread. I find his personality makes it difficult to assess his alignment as he sometimes does things that I usually would find scummy, but I suspect that these may be more of a personality thing than anything else. Most concerning for me is the part I quoted earlier from
212, because why say that people should keep an eye on you if you're town? Seems more likely scum would say it just to appear reasonable. However, Aneninen often does things such as call his own posts weak, so I question the validity of my point. His vote on Flames comes a little early, but not too early for scum. However, the call-out for cop counterclaims after neil's own claim, this being after negative responses to the claim, just feels way out there for scum, and is the main reason why I townread this slot despite my concerns.

Shaddowez: Mostly a PoE read. His play in regards to flames/neil is nothing beyond scum as far as I can see. The main thing holding me back though, as silly as it may sound, is
21. Notice the similarity in style of RVS to flames, while everyone else is different. I feel scum may make more effort to do something different from a buddy, but I consider this point quite weak after some thought. I didn't notice anything scummy in particular during my read-through, but I haven't reviewed the most recent case on him properly and will read his own posts more deeply tomorrow.
Oso: Nothing that's really town about him, but nothing all that scummy either? It's really hard to say for me, as his posts are quite odd at times. Another I will need to look further into.
Chaoslord: His read progression on the neill/flames scumslot seems pretty unnatural as well as being likely to be what scum would do there imo. He starts off thinking flames is town, ignores the flames wagon until specifically asked, where he then makes an awkward wishy-washy post not really saying anything but trying not to get Flames lynched
256. However, in
339 he then goes into 'bus my buddy' mode and despite quite strongly townreading flames, he lets nothing get in the way of his new 'scumread', which I feel is unrealistic for town, but matches scum that has decided neill is going down.
Reads are still a bit shonky in parts (Oso in particular), but hopefully this will be fixed soon. I'm not going to vote yet because I need to look further into Oso and Shaddowez, but chaoslord is my preferred lynch right now.

And I think he/she/etc is town.
