Alright, I am home and I have fully read the thread. Now there a few things that I want to say, and this is honestly just a spew of what I have going through my head right now. I'm townleaning Fleshy, simply because I'm pretty sure that he hasn't played in awhile, and I feel like he's going through lines of thinking that inexperienced town would go through. Anyway, gonna disagree with the (barely existant) suspicion of Bianca, it's an inside joke about the scumreading from last game where Kirby pretty much had her from her fourth post. Furthermore, I am now townleaning Evan (mainly for him/Zendal, which I'll elaborate on in a bit) and Dad.
I have two scum leans at this point, Aron and Zendal. Kinda worried that Aron is being new town here and we're just focusing on him because we don't have anyone else, but as I said earlier, he set off my "new scum" alarm bells. I'm trying to not repeat anything that hasn't been said already by Dad. But the way that Zendal is acting relative to Aron is kinda reminding me of what I did to Sensei in Smash 2.0
Alright so my original plan was to post reads on everyone that's been posting but with my apparent time constraints that no longer seems like the greatest idea. so I'll give a couple now and make another more detailed post tonight or tomorrow.
Dad: I am having a hell of a time trying to read this guy. He's been putting a lot of pressure on me but I honestly think it makes sense to see what happens when I'm put on the spot and if I cave considering I'm inexperienced. The fact that he's putting so much pressure on me kinda gives me an instant kneejerk reaction but putting aside personal feelings and looking at the facts I think he's genuinely trying to help. I'll give him a very minor town lean for now.
Dolby: Dolby's been contributing per the usual but I've gotten a few bad vibes from him. his instant attack on Karen as soon as the game started over something that was very obviously a joke gave me a kinda bad taste. I'm going to leave him as neutral for now and am definitely looking into him more.
Zendel: Zendel's been very defensive since the start but then again so have I. I've been trying to read into them to try and understand if it was being justly angry at being accused or being defensive as a cover-up but I'm not sure enough to lean one way or the other.
These aren't really reads so much as they're just me speculating since two of them are neutral but these are the impressions I have so far.

that horrible yellow color is impossible to read sorry
1. I'm pretty sure Aron has never played with me or the last time that he played with me was when I was bad
2. His read on me specifically looks like noob scum trying to point out everything "suspicious" without being confrontative, moreover, the content looks like something that I would be scumread over
3. Zendal honestly wasn't that relevant at that point in the game, I'm not sure why he was included, and I kinda feel like this could be mafia distancing
4. Townlean of Dad feels like appeasement
Now as for Zendal
I'm null on Aron so far.
The excuses stand out because they seem to be in literally everything single one of their posts. Instead of making excuses I'd prefer to see dedication whenever they can make the time, if you start only jumping in when someone is getting heat or if they are then I'll move them to sus.
I have no idea how experienced level Aron is btw, does anyone have any experience with them?
Literally could've looked at the RQS, but I'm pretty uncomfortable that you felt the need to go out and say this when you could've just asked about Aron's experience level. I am also uncomfortable that you feel no need to mention them in your subsequent reads post
The person I feel the most comfortable about thus far would be Dolby although that could possibly change later on.
Dad isn't make me feel too great right now, his posts come off as a defence/support for me which looks like a way to get into my good books. His interactions with Aron look a distancing thing between the two and his posts towards Evan could possibly be similar to what Toad and Ness did to Evan in the previous game. One is in support of me while the other is against me.
Both points are kinda weak but I don't know what to think of these vibes from him, if he's town I feel bad about feeling this way. So I'm sorry if you are.
Evan is confusing me tbh.
Everyone else is null, I'm keeping an eye on Evan, Aron, Dad, Karen and Daniel. The last two look as though they don't intend to do much other than joke around so I'm not sure how seriously I should take them or if anything either of them are saying should be token to heart and noted.
I see no worlds in which scum buses D1 with the intention of causing a lynch on their scum mate, especially since Dad has made Aron the most feasible lynch. You then go on to say that you are keeping your eye on literally the only active people. I know that 2/3 of the game has been unacceptably inactive, but come on. Moreover, Dad barely defended you I feel and it was more of a side comment
