Going to put out some quick reads that summarise my main thoughts so far. I hate having so many of my reads null / not strong, I just find it hard early on with so many people hardly posting. Trying to keep these summarised and relatively short as not to take up a whole page.
X - Null, Slight Town, Strong Town, Sus, Scum Lean, Strong Scum
biancasbotique - Although I do find the fact she mentioned that she's going to put effort into not acting how she acts when she is scum odd. Surely if you're town, you wouldn't be acting how you act as scum, and therefore wouldn't have to think about it. That being said, nothing else stands out to me as scummy, she's calm and putting in effort.
Dolby - I've always found Dolby hard to read, and this game is no exception to that. He jumped right into the game throwing around FoS at Kermit, reasoning of which seemed weak in my opinion. He mentioned thinking that Kermit could be scum more than once, and how he though a Kermit/Evan scum team was likely, before completely dropping it out of the blue and turning to Aron/Zendel very quickly, what happened to your thoughts on Karen? Talk about questioning Evan for his "turnaround". He was very quick to act shocked when Daniel mentioned me, which sticks out to me, but if he were scum, I don't see why he would react like that. Almost everything else he has said seems to have basis behind it, even if it is a little all over the place, and his annoyance at the lack of inactivity strikes me as town really wanting to put in the effort, but overall I'm unsure and need to pay more attention to his next posts.
amazonevan19 - Having meta as the basis for my reads probably isn't the best idea, but Evan is acting exactly as I know town him to act. He over-explains, questions, and is overall strong. I mentioned how him and Zendel made posts phrased very similar and his response hit me as town.
Zendel - In all honestly I'm confused by Zendel this game. The main difference I've noticed from his previous game as scum is that he seems worn down, as if he is town who is genuinely tired of being scumread regardless of what he does. Or possibly maf who is tired of being maf? I don't know, there's a lot that doesn't sit well with me but overall I feel like he's being over-read a bit too much in this game, for very little thing, which I'm sure, in all fairness would wear most people down. The more I read into it, the less I see him as scummy and more so rightfully annoyed.
Chick - Chick was town in the last game I played and she was completely different to how she is now. It might just be a change due to the criticism aimed at her for her play in the last game? However, she seems way more calm, and is putting way more effort into the game this time, considering she got read as scum for her play in the last game, maybe she is being coached on how to not be read the same in this game? I'm also not sure what to make of her reads, most of them are null and she contradicts herself in almost all of them, she doesn't seem to be too sure on anything and is instead just making reads that come across safe. Her town play, as far as I know it, is very back-seat, defensive and passive-aggressive, and I've seen none of that in this game. She even mentioned how, as town, she reacts badly to anybody who is sus of her, yet she completely failed to mention my suspicions of her and said it didn't even bother her.
Damniel - As I mentioned, I see Daniel as town right now, there's nothing too strong there but his lack of overall attention to the game reads as town to me, I believe he'd pay more attention as scum. However, he has been reaction testing with posts like "glow could be scum hmm" and indicating that he'd vote me. As well as calling people out for inactivity among other things, showing he is putting enough attention in to be noticing things that are happening. The constant questioning of everything and asking people questions comes across as something town would do also.
Dad - Very helpful town. However, I know he is a very experienced player, so I'm trying not to overlook his probable ability to appear helpful town leader regardless of opinion.
Heyden, Aronthaer - I feel like there may be scum between these two, not both, but I'm unsure which way. I find Heyden's overall behavior odd his "fixation", yes I'll call it a fixation also, on Zendel odd, it began very early on and he seems so set about it "Zendel is scum guys", I don't know if it's because he seems as a likely lynch candidate right now. As well as Aron's overall scummy behavior (odd comments, weak reads, deflective), he also seems to be coming across very cold and collected (minus one comment), to the point that he's trying very hard not to allow emotions to be indicative of his alignment.
glow, Kit, xCleb, Kermittea
Tina, Ness, oath2order, Jacob - It isn't unusual for at least one member of the scum team to keep it on a down-low D1, that way they can coach their scumbuds, and distance themselves from their more outspoken scumbuds if there is a fallout. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one scum is hiding, lurking, being very quiet, or just flat out completely inactive.
