I've read over the read thread quite a bit and I think I've got a fair idea of what alignment I think people may be, there are a few nulls though.
Key:
Strong Town Lean
Slight Town Lean
Null
Slight Scum Lean
Strong Scum Lean
Apple - I'm not completely sure what to think right now, I liked that he didn't band wagon me at first but he later decided to do it but then he decided against it again. I find it strange because I think the only time I've seen Apple do this is when he was reaction testing and I don't see this as reaction testing. My memory could be foggy on this though, I'll look at his other games to see if I remembered correctly. He has also posted a fair amount of posts that seem like he is genuinely trying and contributing to the game/conversation at hand.
Artstotzkan - I appreciate the contributions and I like how she has mentioned that she isn't entirely comfortable with Dolby's reasoning for scum leaning Ayaya and I because it shows that she isn't a band wagoner which is what I would expect from her. I want to see a little bit more from her before deciding my final conclusion on her, I expect to see great things from her because she is clearly an independent player.
Ayaya - I was reading through the scum game Dolby gave me of her and I see some similarities, she continuously defended players who were town.
I still think Trundle is town, he's playing similarly to scummy mafia where he's a bad town and just say someone is scummy with little to no reason.
Not sure about the rest. I hope it'll get clearer in D2 She defended me and asked for links and such, it could be a front to appear to be more town like
What makes you say that? I thought Daniel's questions are pretty valid
I feel like Cory is really just a bad town atm. As evident by his posts, he's pushing Hayden so much to the point where it kind of feels like he has something against him, but I can somewhat understand his frustration as Hayden isn't playing his best. It's a good thing that Cory playing like his town meta (as I mentioned before) because I feel like this is Town vs Town, and anyone who want to lynch them over this argument is taking advantage of the situation
I feel like these posts are a little defensive and she just so happens to be scum here, she is doing the exact seem thing right now. Most of her posts are defensive are herself or me, after she defends she leaves. She started out strong with questions but she later became inactive after she started being sussed.
Her reads list was the scummiest post she has made, the amount of nulls is bothersome. I didn't think much of it because of this post:
After reading what I wrote, I feel like my reads are kind of lacking and I don't like how I'm undecided on half of the players. This might be because I'm tired, and I usually feel more confident after Night when people's stance would be more clearer. I'd like to see the people whose name are bolded to post more, as your lack of posts or interactions made it kind of hard for me to make a stance for everyone.
I agree with this and I sympathize but I think an effort should have been made, if there is enough reasons to scum read someone there should be enough reasons to town read someone.
I see where Dolby is coming from now honestly, but I would like to point out that I saw a lot of time gaps in the town game which is similar to this game so I don't think activity is going to be any good against Ayaya but I don't like how she defended people that often in her scum game. I am not 100% about her being scum but I can see it. This took a lot more convincing for me as she was one of my strongest town leans.
Bri - My thoughts are the same about Bri, I'm more confident in her being town after looking through the thread and the points I made in my previous reads lists are more than enough for her to be on my obvious town/ strong town lean. She isn't in consistent and I appreciate her efforts throughout the game, she was making a reads list and got genuinely upset about it being deleted accidently, so I trust her and I'm inclined to town read her for how sincere she is as well. A great first game. c:
Byngo - Byngo has been an independent player throughout and she hasn't leeched off any other players to extract their opinions or thoughts, she continued to keep sharing her thoughts and opinions openly in a way that seems natural, it just makes her seem like town for me.
Cleb - This is what I have seen from Cleb when he is town, slightly aggressive and pushy. He's been contributing a lot in this game which is always fabulous and I appreciate his efforts, I also like his independent train of thought in this game.
Curry - I understand that life can be busy but even when you do post there seems to be little effort, I expected more from you. You said you would be quiet, which you are, but the walls of text are not present. There has been one wall of text and the rest of your posts are short or don't contribute to the game. I don't mind people being quite unless it looks like there avoiding questions but the lack of content in the posts that you have time for isn't great. I assume you have time for them but why post if you don't?
Again I understand you're busy, so I will wait until you're more active to give a conclusion whether or not your a strong scum lean, When will that be by the way?
Dolby - I'm disregarding my theories on him as they don't hold much wait at all. I like his contributions to the game so far and his determination is the thing that makes me town read him the most. He's been very vocal which is a town tell, I read the game that you provided on the main difference would be post quantity. You've posted more in the first day than the entire time you were in that game which is crazy. Your post quality wasn't as good in your scum game either, you posted a lot of one line sentences and jokes rather than getting into your points and so on. Over all you seemed much more reserved in that game so I don't think you are scum in this game because you are literally the polar opposite right now.
Endless - He's only been brought into the game so I will wait for more input.
Heyden - META against Heyden isn't a good idea but his posts are almost identical to the ones in the themeless mafia in his attitude, looking through the conversation when it was heading to the night phase I can see that Heyden picked up in activity he wasn't that active before hand because he never really is during the day but it's nice to see him contribute more.
Kermit/Tea - Karen is another player who I feel isn't band wagoning and instead shares her thoughts openly and willingly, she also claimed blue so I'm inclined to believe her but I don't remember her playing like this in the game I played with her so I'm a little cautious of that, it's on my conscious and that's why I can't make her a strong town lean completely.
Kirby - I believe his claim and he has contributed more since then which is great. I'm going to take note of this behaviour for next time, as it is clearly his playstyle/ he's just reserved.
Mog - Her self awareness is what really makes me feel like she's town, she has became much more active and has started sharing her opinion and thoughts which is appreciated. Her reactions and her general attitude seems both genuine and town like, which is just normal Mog.
Panda - I'm not completely sure about Panda right now, I don't see any scummy posts. I like that she's part of the discussions and that she is willing to listen other people while forming her own opinions along the way rather than band wagoning.
Sensai - I really like the amount of contributions Sensai has made, it shows he is willing to cooperate with everyone and that's always a town tell. He has posted one liner comments where he seems genuinely baffled with the game and he is trying to learn along the way, he has clearly shown that he is learning and if he was on the mafia team I would expect him to be coached and his posts to come off in a less genuine way. You're doing great for a first timer as well, keep it up!
Toadsworthy - My thoughts are the same from last time about his posts against me, I feel like his tone has changed quite a bit since then and he was emotional, which = town Toad. He seems to be contributing quite a bit though, so this read could change a bit in the future.
Uttumori - I was originally pleased with her contributions and her comments were alike to those of her townie comments, short and simple while offering her opinion on matters. But I don't think it's enough right now, I need more Mori, feed me!
Yzanda - She will either be mod killed or replaced soon, 1 post isn't enough.
Sorry for the long wait, 18 players is a lot to get through!
