Reads
In order:
Glow
I've liked Glow's approach overall, she came in and expressed here thoughts vocally which shows she doesn't have any reluctance in what she is saying. Her tone doesn't sway any signals for me but I think I felt the same way in Themeless mafia (where she was town) so that can be reflective of her town play. Her content has been pretty good thus far and has pointed out things that I never thought of beforehand, example: Dolby's redundancy when saying his posts were low quality to defend himself from possible criticism for his lacklustre posts and self admitting that is in a bid to defend himself. Her activity has been lacking which sucks because Glow is really helpful and she did a really great job in Themeless mafia so I would love to see more of her, lack of activity from Glow is more so part of her scum meta than town meta (I'm pretty sure) but so are short posts with no substance which I haven't seen yet.
Dad
At first I got a gut feeling about Dad, so I came up with possible explanations for why I felt that way. Neither of the points I made were particularly good (I said that in that same post and several times afterwards) and after further consideration I think it just boils down to a gut feeling and the fact that his "support" of me reminds me of other scum players doing so just to get in good books which is why I said what I said.
I've liked his posts so far especially the pressuring of Aron and other players, which is always indicative of town to me, it looks like he's making a genuine effort so far and it's appreciated because he has generated a lot of answers from players who don't sit right with me. Calling out coasters such as Oath is something noteworthy as well. He has been one of the most active showing he has plenty of motivation and intent to help us.
Daniel
His lack of motivation, content and general care for the game is reflective of lazy town.
It'd be nice to see more meaningful contributions but I don't see that happening.
Karen
I don't understand what is really scummy about Karen? Dolby saw a post, that was an obvious joke between Karen and Daniel, and turned it into something when it was really nothing. Since then she has been getting heat and it doesn't seem right. Her activity and effort has been lacking because she is busy, she is stated this and if people grill her for it my eyebrow will raise further. I don't like this fixation on the people you know though, you should be looking at everyone in the same light. That would be the only thing off about Karen so far.
Overall the judgements that she has received so far are unfair and makes me feel as though she is town along with her joking nature which was not present in her game as scum.
Chick
Chick was notably absent for a while, so were/are many other players but what I find odd is the first post Chick comes out with a post that is large and finely written. I think this boils down to the fact that she hasn't been attacked, pressured, etcetera because when she is, she struggles to come out with decent posts and gets extremely defensive so it's nice to see a change of playstyle from her.
I think she is town because her effort seems to be genuine as well as her tone, the content in the posts do seem flawed at times but I can clearly see that she is trying and that she is coming up with ideas. Her activity is somewhat decent despite her busy schedule and she is interacting well with us all, as I can't see any hesitation in what she has to say.
Overall a large improvement from previous games and she has never really got a chance to do this without getting her head bitten off which I sympathise with.
Bianca
Awkward wording that could get her lynched like that time in Alola Mafia? Check.
Decent activity? Check.
Decent contributions? Check.
Genuine tone which she perfects as scum but you still think she must be town? Check.
On the lower end on my town reads because of her really genuine tone in the Franchise Wars, with that said, that was her first proper mafia game so she would come off as genuine no matter what because she was clueless of the mechanics then.
Evan
Well there hasn't been any unbearable arrogance from him yet which is a scum characteristic of his from the Franchise Wars but Death by Design (he was town) proves that he can be the same no matter his alignment. It hasn't been a thing here so it's left me wondering.
I can't really put my finger on his tone so I can't see anything about him in terms of that, throwing out an accusation which is false is interesting and makes me believe he is town after a little more though about him. The reason would be the fact that I think he would be a lot more careful about what he says because he would (has, lol) get (got, lol) called out on it and saying that without fact checking himself shows that he says what he thinks instead of hesitating. Which is town tell to me and his activity is pretty good.
His jokes aren't alignment indicative in case people think so btw, he can do that whenever he's laid back (Smash 2 Mafia, Mystic Messenger) or when he's under pressure (Franchise Wars).
Fleshy
I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about Fleshy, I feel as though there is something different. Maybe it's just me.
The contributions have been pretty good along with his activity.
Ness
Somewhat active at the beginning and then he started fading away.
Jacob
Hasn't posted anything.
Tina
Hasn't posted anything.
Oath2Order
Looks as though he is coasting, claims most of the bother earlier was about meta but people were mostly talking about the events in this game and solely this game. He is apparently playing mafia on Discord so he has to distribute his activity between the two I suppose.
Kit
"Hi memers" has helped us a great deal and I really appreciate the contribution, indeedy very much so. Her two other posts are basically digs at Dad which aren't good or noteworthy at all because they aren't really explained, it was basically "I feel this & that & that" without really saying anything that helps us too significantly.
Why, in depth, do you feel this way about Dad?
I feel as though Oath or Kit could possibly be scum out of the nulls list. I don't have strong feelings about any of these people hence why all of them are null, lol. If Tina or Jacob were scum I would expect more posts, the same goes for Ness but all of these people could just be genuinely busy and struggling to find the time so idk.
Dolby
He made a big deal out of a obvious joke between Karen and Daniel but he only brought up Karen in that situation, shouldn't both of them be given the same amount of heat? I admit I did see his point at first but I don't think it has much merit now and the amount of attention he put on Karen just to slowly wiggle his way out of that topic is interesting because it seems as though he has moved onto me and Aron, both of us our currently getting the heat (Aron for valid reasons, me for stupid reasons) so it's weird that when other people are the main topics at hand he just leaves what he was pushing behind. It's clear that you didn't have much merit in it yourself otherwise you would have pushed more and more but you've moved away from it more and more.
There's also the fact that you are making excuses for posts with less substance so you can't be called out on them, it seems that way at least.
I get that people are busy because I am one of those people though.
In short: It's pretty clear that everything Karen has done so far is nothing short of a joke, that includes that vote against Daniel. You are most likely reaching for nothing and I'm surprised you haven't caught onto that yourself.
Heyden
Tried to reaction test me or something but they're too irrelevant for me to realize, hahahahaha.
But seriously.
The contributions haven't been great, you have focused on me more than anybody so the tunnelling is strong with this one.
The only other person who you've really commented on would be Aron which is weird because we are literally two of the people who are being sussed the most. You later go on to say that you feel as though he is genuine to move your suspicions on from him to fully put your focus on me.
Aron/Heyden team?
Cleb
Not the most spectacular read but something about Cleb doesn't feel right.
When I reacted to Evan's false accusation against me he felt as though that was something that needed looked into, I later explained that being the receiving end of a false accusation no matter what my alignment (I hate people lying about me in real life as well) is.
What bugs me about this is that he said that we need to look into my reaction yet there hasn't been any real intent to look into himself, with effort anyway. After I had explained why I reacted the way I did there hasn't been much discussion since, this is could be because of his schedule though.
Aronthaer
Many of their posts are excuses about not being very active yesterday when they were probably one of they most active people. Their responses to Dad in particular are interesting, they weren't really too defensive and in some of them he outright agrees with Dad's points against him or at least sees his points, he goes on to town read Dad which could be an attempt to appease him, like many others have said before me. The reads list itself wasn't really good.
Key:
Strong Town Lean
Slight Town Lean
