Ok so here?s my thoughts
- I think punchy v temptations is def still town v town. Punchy is trying to scumhunt, Temptations has been offering good defenses. Even though I think Punchy is wrong I don?t think his presses are particularly scum-motivated. They seem genuine. The one thing that makes me think Punchy could be scum is how he mentioned Temptations? supposed scumslip without stating what it was, and then when it was revealed it was just a bunch of hullabaloo. But idk. While I don?t want to write either of them off completely from being scum, I think Punchy is doing just a slightly better job at appearing town. Dolby did make an astute point about Temptations? Punchy analysis. He seemed to start strong but then it fizzled out and his conclusion didn?t match the evidence he brought.
- Not sure what to think about unravel. She doesn?t scream either town or mafia to me atm. She?s at least trying which is more than what I can say of most of her maf tactics
- Damniel explained himself (kinda) and it?s worthy of note that he slightly sussed Jacob, who flipped town. Don?t know if it?s terribly AI but it?s worth noting. Don't know if scum would want to frame Damniel this early on, or if Damniel actually is scum and would want to off Jacob after Damniel aired his suspicions in the thread. Damniel also townreads unravel which is a bit strange considering how enigmatic unravel usually is, except when she?s obvscum, but usually she is only obvscum at the end of a game
- Even though I liked his point on Temptations, Dolby strikes me a bit odd. Dolby isn?t usually one to go hyper in depth on grammar or symantics and kudos to Dad for pointing that out. I?m not sure who I?d team him with though - while I think Damniel and Dolby are likely scums independently, I do not know how they would work together on a team based on what I've seen.
- Dad seems pretty chill and probing so far, not cautious or trying to hide something imo. His scumlean on me makes sense as I have been practically nonexistent but it?s mostly just because I?ve been busy and forgetting about the game. I initially said he?s ?dangerous? because he is a good player who knows how to confuse people very well when he?s scum. I?m not seeing those sort of tactics at play here, so for now townlean
I need to go take care of some business now and there?s some people I still need to look at more closely, but rn if I had to choose I?d say Damniel and Dolby are likely scums, mayyybe Temptations? But I don?t see why Dolby would be acting the way he is if Temptations was scum, except as distancing perhaps.

Actually wait, punchy never did explicitly state what the scumslip was, did he? Maybe I read too fast but all I recall atm is that he just kept saying it was obvious to anyone who caught it? Then disregard the part where I said Temptations' scumslip was underwhelming. Technically speaking it is so underwhelming that it's not even evident to some of the game's most experienced players!
