I'm really depressed and fatigued over irl stuff but it makes me happy that this is such a good game, probably one of the best on tbt I've been in so far. Scum lynched day one, Cory making sense, every player in the game contributing significantly compared to other games. It really gives me and anyone else who can muster all that energy a lot to read.
...problem is it's a lot to read and I encourage everyone who is town but potentially overwhelmed not to be daunted by that. This is going to start from easy stuff for me to read into and I’ll work on completing the list once I have more energy (heeelp). So I'm gonna work from my townreads and go from there because I’m having trouble focusing:
Hard I'mreallysure town reads:
Trundle - there are no counterclaims and just about all the players have posted so they've had the chance, so he's legit miller
Forek - there's just too much panic and taking things personally for him to be both new and maf, all the while making a claim that's very believable due to how it matches up to Tina's writing.
Hard somewhatsure townreads (just one):
Cariad - I've already provided my reasons for why I think she's town in past posts and in short I get the impression she doesn't have enough time to read everything and as a result continues to post the way she does, which is sort of there but not -there- (finding maf). Blu claimed she used to be an aggressive player but I’ve been in a good number of games with her and she’s the same as always – that quiet person who lives in an off timezone and can usually only make a sort of ‘general thoughts’ post because she’s not around to directly interact with anyone. Fortunately for this game Endless landed in that timezone and the interaction she had with him during day one just screamed ‘still figuring this out’. Those interactions keep her as one of my top townreads, if I'm gonna use the old 'first impressions are everything' logic.
Soft townreads:
LaBelleFleur – my favorite new tbt mafia player tbh, along with pillow bunny. You’re posting exactly like you were last game – you seem unsure of yourself but your posts contain what seems like you summarizing everything that’s going on, your stance on it, and why. It’s essential pro-town work and it’s where you’re starting from.
Blu Rose – you were inactive even as a replacement for a while, but now you’ve swooped in and made a post with plenty of effort and quoting to back it up, and it comes off as you putting on your lets get serious face on. You’re the first person this entire game to really call me out and it's on my potential to bus my fellow mafia – although I learned my lesson from that Russian time game (minties ;_; ). But tbh I’d love to have done that to Tom just for his reaction in a qt. Anyways, I disagree with only working on the people who voted for Tom. I do think there could be one or two maf in there who bussed but it's the what and why they gave for voting that actually matters. Or the what and why other people gave for voting someone else. I'd rather encourage people to do that.
Cory – still quick to jump on a vote, but there’s been a lot said about that person that makes them a reasonable lynch, but what really makes me townread you (finally, I can read you) is that you’re piecing everything together and engaging with people in a way that’s not distracting but producing interaction.
Unsure:
This is the list I wanna work from for now, unless one of the above suddenly posts something that throws all my reads about them off.
justice – when it comes to day one I’m not really going to scumread anyone who was against Tom’s lynch, but I do scumread based off the reasons/logic behind not wanting to do so. The reason you gave me was kinda sketchy, the whole ‘we should wait later in game to read Tom because of how Tom plays also I felt sorry for him lol’ thing still doesn’t sit well with me. That being said, you were justicefiably going after pillow bunny day 1 and you also have a flippant posting style this game rather than the calmer posting style you have when maf, but I’m not going to underestimate your capability to act.
The rest rest I need to work from but I’m going to have to ISO them (ew I’m talking like Endless) for one reason or another and I’m too tired so I’ll pick up from here tomorrow. Someone ISO some and help me lol.
Chipped-Teacup - She jumped on the Forek train late day 1, which wouldn't be the optimal thing to do, seemingly as Tom started the train, and he flipped red. My thoughts exactly on her: She is a weak town. I haven't seen much else from her posts, from what little she had.
chees4mees - From going on multiple bandwagons to weak reasoning, chees literally screams town. He actually seems as he's reluctant to post, as others aren't. Maybe he's trying to not get lynched by posting as little as he can? It seems so. This read is kinda weak tbh, but there's not much to read from. Chees is gonna be in the Hard somewheresure catagory.
Ashtot - Ash has Actually been pretty good in this game, from making valid points to helping tom getting lynched. His style of play is still the same from past games, but i see a little difference here. Maybe it's because his group is back maybe? But i don't have much to read from his posts. He's one of the more harder people to read actually, along with Nick and justice. I'm gonna go ahead and place him in the Soft townreads section.
pillow bunny - They were digging themselves a grave faster then me with all their inconsistencies, all the more while Endless was pursuing them. Currently, Endless are dead, whilst Endless pursued you. This would either be a very good frame, or you actually killed Endless. I still think that the mafs framed you, but ill leave my read as unsure. The post about me and Endless having fake votes was pretty wierd, considering that we both had voted for you at the time.
Superpenguin - Nick was defending Tom yesterday, which seemed pretty sus. They have only been targeting chees since the beginning, based off of 1 post. The past games I've seen him in as maf and town, he is acting like his mafia self. As town, Nick usually posts reads on multiple people, not just one. But i heard he's been pretty busy, so I can't blame him for that. I leave you as unsure.
Karen - I can actually get a good read on her, seeming as she jumps from person to person. She first went on to me, with still standing suspicion. Then she randomly went on to chees, with weak reasoning to do so. It seems as she followed nick onto the cheese chain.
Hika - I almost forgot about you before I posted this list. Bad thing.
...I'm overwhelmed. ;_; Good thing.
