202 by Iconeum: Says that Janitor commented on things that were NAI (and thus do not stand out to him) -
For the record, I disagree with the idea that things that are not alignment-indicative do not stand out; actually, the things that stand out the most are generally NOT alignment indicative despite what people think. That said, I agree with the general reasoning provided here. (Null)

214 by Iconeum: Responding to Janitor, says that it's okay not to have reads yet -
You know, I get the feeling that is not true. But regardless, the point being brought up is pretty valid. (Null)

So let me go over why I like this post again. First of all, the nice formatting is always nice, but that really is not alignment indicative. So what else is there? Clear questions, presents some reads and clearly explains them, and in general, the post really registers as having a townvibe. Perhaps I overrate the post, but I still think it is more likely a town post than a scum post. (

220 by Beefster: A thing about Math's setup spec, a townread on the worst, and postulates a Janitor/SIMYK scum team and votes Janitor -
Okay, I get the townread on the worst, and I can see the scumread on Janitor (though it would be nice if you were more explicit). So, first and foremost, why do you think SIMYK/Janitor may be a scumteam? I would presume that you do scumread SIMYK to some degree, and it is that part that I would like for you to explain. The other thing is your first line of the post--I'm honestly not sure what to make of that? As in, what should I be interpreting that as meaning? (Null leaning scum)[/b]

Aside from your two "I need to catch up posts", your first several posts deal almost exclusively with the setup and the draft and without anything to do with some kind of read one way or another. I don't necessarily consider that a good thing, and tbqh, it is actually a good way to look like town as scum. I'll have to see though if this trend continues, or if this is just part of your catch-up which you seem to be doing sequentially like I normally do. (

249 by mutantdevle: We are presented with some reads, specifically a scumread (due to a vote) on Janitor and townreads on Math, SIMYK, and Icon -
Okay, now we have some reads, and tbf, it probably is hard to just point at one or two things to explain your townreads and scumreads. Still, I think these reads are very easy reads to make at this point in the game. (Null)

255 by SIMYK: Case on Almost50 -
I don't think the points made are bad, but at the same time, I don't think all of them are necessarily indicative of alignment. No, I'm not elaborating here. (Null)

261 by Almost50: Overly impressed by mutant's towniness -
Say what? I definitely didn't get that impression from mutant; what am I missing? (Null)
9.
263 by Almost50: Mutant is actually presenting info -
I also disagree with this assessment. The info Mutant gave were some very terse reads (most having no explanation) and a bunch of posts about the setup. The latter really isn't that alignment indicative, especially not indicative of town imo. (Null)

270 by Lovebird: Quotes a post from Iconeum (
129 where Ico votes A50 for being salty) and simply states "scummy" -
Wasn't that an RVS vote (even if well beyond the real RVS stage)? Anyway, if this is a serious read, how is it scummy? (Null leaning scum)

273 by Lovebird: Some kind of case on Ausuka -
Hi, I'm going to need you to do more than simply quote and say something is scummy/not scummy. Though I assume this is how you typically play... (Null)

277 by Lovebird: Responds to Taly and says that her initial statement that the people so far were town was because they were towny (when asked to elaborate) -
That does not answer the question... (Null leaning scum)
Okay, and that is everything up to when I started posting pretty much, so there you have it!
Some other things:
1) Ausuka is more likely to be town for actually considering to reevaluate their read on me; I just don't see scum letting such an opportunity pass them by.
2) Almost50 is more likely town tbqh after the stunt they just pulled
3) Mathdino and I are never going to see eye-to-eye this game, and I honestly don't think it is worth my time trying to get some read on them.
4) The Worst fluffs a good bit (not necessarily in a bad/scummy way) but does make the occassional good observation or two
5) I mainly consider meta in terms of reading players; I don't care as much about setup meta
6) I think someone townread Janitor for
406? I don't agree with that; some of it addresses setup spec, some of it is just joking around, and a very small portion has some relation to reads. I don't necessarily scumread the post, but I wouldn't immediately jump from a scumread to a townread based on the post alone either.
7) In response to
415: what is wrong with focusing on other people's reads? In particular, I cannot read you based on nothing, and in my opinion, your reads and the reasons behind them are the best route.
8) Taly brings up a really good point in
416. I'm not repeating it--read it yourself.
9) In regards to Ausuka's ability to read me--she does a very good job in the game we've played together, though I'm not sure how much she factored in the game state with her initial read; some games (like this one) are really hard to get good reads in
10)
432 is purely antitown
11)
434 and
435 by The Worst are pretty good
12) An additional comment to
483:
13) I don't think I understand SIMYK in
503 (the top part)... It seems opposite of what I was expecting them to say...
