Ok, here's my read list. I'm going to post it in the main thread once D1.5 begins:
Town
Cabot
He’s been playing a very Townie game to me so far, it’s hard for me to see scumminess in his motivations. He’s pushing people, he’s sharing reads, he’s been trying to solve things since the beginning of the day. Dare I say, I think he is Town as Fuck.
StanleyPalmtree
Though I do think the people (I believe Sorian and Faddy) who were pointing out some of his excessive “Angry Stan” posts have a decent point there, I haven’t had any reason to feel suspicious about Stan personally. He did become a leader candidate a bit easily, but most everyone seemed to do it because they were town reading him, so I can’t really fault that too much.
Natiko
He’s also been pushing things forward, interacting with people a lot when he’s around, similar to Cabot in some ways.
Fandorin
Again, it’s a lot of similar reasons here to Cabot and Natiko, they are all doing pretty similar things really, and make posts that I find hard to scum read, and so they read naturally towny to me I guess.
Kyanrute
Although he hasn’t done much real time interacting with the thread, his catch up posts always seem to contain some good Towny thoughts and questions in them. Can't really think of any reason for me to be suspicious of him, and he's made some solid points, so he seems Town to me.
Lean Town
Sorian
He’s playing just like I expected him to really based on the other time I played with him. He’s very confident, he’s forthcoming with his reads, he pushes on people when he wants to, and he generally speaks freely. It all reads naturally townie to me for the most part, but sure call it a meme or whatever, the stories of him being a good Scum player keep me wary.
Terraforce
He’s a strong player who can write a whole novel in response to a question. He doesn’t like to back down from his thoughts too much, but is willing to and will do so gracefully if he really feels like he was wrong about something in my experience. Mostly, this all reads townie to me because I don’t know if Scum would want the target that Terra kind of puts on himself with his big posts and his confident reads. At the same time though, he’s the kind of player who can handle some heat pretty easily, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he played like this as Scum too. Hence, the lean.
Faddy
He’s bringing up a lot of good points and doesn’t seem shy of the spotlight even though he isn’t craving it too much. Some people disagree with his Sophia read, and I’ll admit that it is kind of out there since it is based on a lot of assumptions about meta as others have pointed out. I do think he believes this to be a fact though, I’m just not sure if it’s because he’s Scum or not. I feel more towny thoughts than scummy thoughts overall about him though, so I give him the lean town.
Null
Brazil
There hasn’t really been anything I could point to and say why I’m suspicious of Brazil, it’s more of just a not trustworthy kind of thing since I have spectated a game where he was Scum and had no clue until the end. He can fool me good basically. The reason I wanted to vote him for leader is precisely this, I believed it would help me to get a more solid take on him early on.
Blargonaut
I’m not very good at reading Blarg, and I’m definitely not going to try too hard on D1. When I saw him as Town, he came out on D2 with some goofy but sensible posts that showed he clearly had thoughts on the game, the players, and what he wanted to do. So I’d at least give him until then before I wanted to try reading him.
Pirate Bae
Wary of my ability to read her mostly. She seems towny at times, but sometimes I question myself and wonder if she’s just good at hiding as Scum and that I can’t see it yet.
Fran
I feel like I can go back and forth on Fran. For the most part, I’ll be keeping my eye on him and reconsidering following flips.
Fireblend
Nothing one way or the other that I can remember sticking out really, reads kind of Towny from some of his posts, but could easily be somewhat of a coasting Scum too I suppose.
Rac
My only experience with Rac was him telling us in Scum Chat in Conspiracy that he wasn’t very good at playing Scum, then he subbed out like 6 hours later haha. I don’t know, he’s a pretty jokey guy overall it seems so it’s a little hard to read him, would like to keep my eye on him as the days progress.
Malus
Malus is a dangerous one if he is Scum due to his coasting/blending abilities. I don’t have enough yet from him to fully point at things that could make him Scum, but I’ll keep my eye on him because I love him.
Dr. Monkey
I don’t trust her intentions yet. I find myself disagreeing with her on a lot of things so far. It’s probably just that I’m severely wrong and she is severely right, but she could also easily be Scum since that is how it felt in GoT a lot too eventually.
Giant Panda
Replaced out, was seeming like typical GP but there wasn’t much to go on yet.
AbsolutBro
I have a hard time reading AB since he is playing catch up a lot, but I haven’t really seen anything that stuck out enough for me to think scummy thoughts at least.
Geno
Most people who have experience with him seem to think this is normal play for him, but I just personally have a hard time reading him. At times I think he’s got some townish posts, but his attitude can be hard for me to read at times. Reminds me of how it’s kind of hard for me to read Zeke and his attitude too I guess.
Lean Scum
Zubz
I haven’t really liked their engagement with the thread so far, it feels a bit fake I guess. When I asked for their top two Town and Scum, they included themselves as one of their top Town, which felt a bit like a cop out to me. Other than the rest of their reads feeling a bit off, I just have a lean scum mindset right now for them.
Kawl
Replaced out, but was reading scummy to me due to the amount of fluff. Seemed to be having trouble keeping up with the thread though, so I don’t want to hold that against him too much, but some of his posts did give me scummy “not too invested” kind of vibes I guess.
Scum
FluxWaveZ
Coasting along after drawing some attention early on. Seemed fine at first with being a topic of discussion and was around to engage, but then kind of drifted off and haven’t been around as much. That kind of behavior reads scummy to me.
turmoil7
I made a post earlier about Turmoil, and I stick by what I said there. I didn’t feel very good about his response to me either, and his reads and leader voting behavior have set off some alarms as well.
KetKat
Ketkat is a master lurker as Scum, and all of the signs are here. I would honestly feel safest about getting her out today, I do not like the idea of scummy lurker Ketkat hanging around and giving the scum team tons of good reads while dropping by to giggle with us every now and then. Not today, Ket!
CeeCee
Wasn’t a fan of Sophia’s play, like basically everyone honestly. I think Sorian made some very good points about her back then. CeeCee hasn’t inspired much confidence after taking over, and since I can’t ignore the amount of posts we have from Sophia to work with too, CeeCee reads pretty scummy overall to me.
TheChuggernaut
I think this is Scum Chugg. He’s kind of grasping at straws for his reads at times, he has made some posts that felt pretty forced or where the timing was suspect enough for me to raise an eyebrow. Overall he just feels fake to me, like he’s trying to act like he’s Town rather than just being Town.
