information from alice
Itās a game that contains an Arete, therefore itās time for a wallpost of reads just under the wire.
Town
Hja - locktown. Easy meta-read is easy.
Luxy - basically locktown at this point after contributions throughout the day.
Soul - Townread, he opened the game by drawing a ton of negative attention to himself whereas scum!Soul basically just tries to go under the radar in the early game.
Geyde - townread, his thought process and level of contribution seem towny and heās made a couple of specific posts that I donāt think he would make as scum (yes, I have reasons not to want to highlight which posts they are). Currently thinking that a couple of specific things that could happen overnight and at SoD2 tomorrow could fairly conclusively determine his alignment but for obvious reasons Iām not going to say what they are.
Sulit - townlean, compared to the Paint game sheās far less hedgy/uncertain with her reads. See my earlier posts on her.
Shurian - Townlean, seems generally contributive and seems willing to explore various aspects of the game. Liking what Iāve seen of her progression so far.
Italy - townlean. His āI only care about the opinion of people with ~important~ classesā attitude is dumb but itās also townie, scum typically cares about how everyone views them rather than just one person. The immediate hard-claiming in response to mild pressure attitude is also one that normally comes from town even though claiming is anti-town in this set-up HINT HINT EVERYONE WHO KEEPS DOING IT.
Kyo - townlean. Heās acting very relaxed in the thread, in a way thatās hard to fake as scum, while also being contributive (i.e. not just fluffposting for no reason).
Derps - townlean. not doing the same tryharding he did in CoC but still being productive; inclined to think heās town over that. I hate how this read basically punishes him the more effort he puts in but Such Is Life.
Centuries - canāt actually explain this one particularly well but Iām gutreading this as town.
Jake - townlean. Another person in the āI hate his meta but heās unfortunately townā bucket.
Marshal - Slight townlean. I hate how many of his posts are PR fishing and/or off-topic memes but I donāt think scum!Marshal would want to draw negative attention like that.
Maxwell - sliiiiight townlean, his early defensiveness was weird but his later contributions are more confident than I usually see from scum!Maxwell. Would like to hear more from him tomorrow as heās been very quiet thus far.
Null
Cheeki, Squid, Frost.
Scum
Ozz - scumlean. None of his early analysis arrives at any actual conclusions, all of it is āI think such-and-such is interestingā and hedging, or else conclusions that arenāt alignment-related. In his town games heās been more aggressive and confident.
Tele - scumlean. Was townreading her early for her aggressiveness and confidence but on reflection I think she could fake that. Sheās contradicted herself several times and her outlook on the game is extremely narrow, sheās more-or-less ignoring everyone but a couple specific players except when other people do things that are relevant to those players.
Magnus - scumlean. Scumreading Magnus for acting scummy is always a little questionable, since heās scummy and anti-town as any alignment, but he has a distinct meta as town that he isnāt doing this game.
PKR - scumread, his opener was both Not Great and consistent with his scum meta. Initially thought bleeding obvtown Luxy and then claiming that he had done so was too obviously bad of a play for him to be scum here but apparently heās done very nearly exactly that as scum before, so Iām not clearing him based on that.
Solic - scumread. Heās not really interacting with anyone in the thread and Iām pretty sure he slipped as scum and then tried to backpedal.
Jgoes - scumread, I explained this one earlier but basically heās being super hedgy and underconfident on nearly all his posts that are reads, and many of his non-read posts have the feel of someone trying to look contributive, but they arenāt really contributing anything.
Iām confused/weird exceptions
Priestess - really confused about Priestessās slot right now. I donāt think sheās ever W/W with Solic here so a Solic scum flip would basically clear her; if he turns out to be town sheās back in my PoE. Sheās done a couple specific things that are in her scum meta (buddying up with townies in a way that creates associations that would make said townies look scummy if she flips W being the big one). Pretty much ignoring the scumclaiming and OMGUSing as those are NAI for her.
Wazza - Basically hasnāt existed in the thread, and literally forgot about one of the abilities of his class. Would prefer that we let him self-resolve via the bleed except that that doesnāt work with his claim; thanks to the DR changes he can actually semi-confirm in a couple nights by transferring to someone in the PoE, which even if scum has extra killpower would still require them to eliminate PoE, which is a net gain for us. Has landed in this category due to being slightly self-resolving.
ā
Thinking that due to the number of people in my scumreads Iām wrong on at least a couple of them; Tele is the most likely here because Iām worried about bias and also pre-flips with Solic. Would personally prefer to resolve Solicās spot with a bounty tomorrow. If he flips town Iād take another look at Priestess. Jgoes is also a safe lynch in my opinion as Iām nearly confident that he flips scum here.
hey luxy, i just want to say that you might not be visited by me.
Iā¦ i donāt know how to say this.
Things will be cleared up tommorow.
yeah, i realise this.
But i might not be able to make it happen.
.
I will explain tommorow.
as long as i am alive tommorow, everything will work out.
sso lets hope that I am
trust me, thatās what ive been doing.
But just gonna say it.
I might not even exist. I donāt know.
General reminder to everyone to keep logs. You donāt strictly have to put a readlist in, though I checked and Alice isnāt using the character limit, but particularly depending on your class it can be really important to know what your night action was, and it takes thirty seconds to write Arete - [class] N1 - [action].
He did plays that were a bad idea in LotR FM but it doesnāt feel the same to me. I was thinking similarly to you until Geyde linked me the FE game (apparently in that one he dayvigged a consensus townread as scum, then claimed having done so).
