My read on UT
UnknownTraveler:
As the mist settles and the court of Castle Regalia settles down and discuss who they shall punish with their imperial might, a mysterious dark fellow appears. No one is sure who this person is but they apparently like to give themselves really cool, stupid, grammerful and cringey introductions. However, ignoring that, the unknown traveler provides the court with a piece of writing, detailed as “The Unknown Steps of Winning Together As Town.” No one is really sure whether this mysterious fellow can be trusted as they can be a part of the cunning Unseen or the bloodthirsty Cult, or even a crazed psychopath who wishes to see everyone dead, but they are providing some advice for town, now then, do we trust them and read the book? Well that’s up to you really, read at your own discretion.
The Unknown Steps of Winning Together As Town
This is the first post they make, which could be pre-written/copied, but it looks semi unique in it’s wording. I know that pretending to be newb as experienced townies isn’t always AI, but let’s look at their other posts and see what they could get away with people thinking they are new.
Didn’t somebody say that this was a copy paste from somebody in a different game?
This is first post that kind of pings me, not as much as some of the others, but yeah. I say this isn’t AI because I did the exact same thing when I subbed into the Assassin in SFoL 60 when I was newer. We don’t clear people from questions like these.
Italicized sentence is weird, because I don’t think anyone was clearing UT here.
They also seem self aware, which is something that I don’t quite like. This pings me as odd because they only said this after people pointed it out.
Kind of thinking this part is >rand V from gorta, because the part in green would be a lot easier to push on as a wolf, as it’s (in my eyes) the weirder part of UT’s post. Will agree that this has a bit of self-awareness.
Again with the self aware crap, this is just off and should be labeled as such. Do I even need to say why this is odd? I haven’t seen newb town say this and I haven’t seen any townie say something like this
When it comes to new players, from what I recall, they’re significantly more likely to be self-aware as a villager than a more experienced player would be. I might be misremembering that, but I also don’t think this quoted message is overly self aware.

My reads for now, these will most likely change
This post pings me as off because lolfullnulllist, but could come from a newb townie. The issue is I don’t think UT is a new player and would know better. In fact they should know better if they read previous games and jotted down enough notes to makes that opening post.Nothing has really came across as “UT is never a new player” yet, but this readlist does feel like a slightly desperate means of contribution. Which makes sense for a newbie, but if UT is in fact not a new player this post would look a bit worse.
UT is just too self aware for my tastes and I don’t like it. You would think newb town would not be as self awareTBH, I think a wolf is a lot less likely to write this post.
This post really bugs me, as this is PR hunting to the max. It’s excusable if it’s a complete newbie, but this slot claims to have read a few games and should know better.**I don’t have as much of a problem with this post as everybody else does, hypoclaiming isn’t crazy, but in a rolemadness setup like this it is a bit abnormal. **
I don’t know why this post rubs me the wrong way, but they hope it’s not a cult game and then it’s suddenly a cult game. I know this is pre flippy as hell and people will scream at me for it, but I don’t like this post and find things convenient. This all seems a bit too convient
Kinda grasping at straws here, gorta.

Also I’m still slightly concerned that Seth is townreading me for some reason but ok. If cops really want to check me, then they can however, I want to remind everyone that Mastermind has investigation immunity so that wouldn’t even fully clear me unless cult game I think
I feel like I am beating a dead horse at this point, but these posts are way too self aware for my tastes.
Then how does this
go to this
It’s also odd having an almost full null list on d2 when there was plenty of content to read and make reads from. In my opinion this is borderline unacceptable from a town PoV. It might be a newb thing, but I don’t think they are a newb

Reaction test
What’s happening here is either they are getting coached in scum chat (lol pre-flips) or they read up online. I don’t see anything wrong with reading up and this is probably one of my more weaker points, but yeah
I think it’s odd how they are still hedgey on Cent and act like they want a lynch there, but don’t ever commit.
I also semi read Cent as a towny, but I think if Cent is cult then so is UT. I know this is lolpreflip and I wouldn’t rely on this to condemn UT right away, just pointing out interactions that look a bit like possible partnering
This post screams "hey, look at me! I totally didn’t think it was a cult game, so I can’t be cult. I will concede that this is another weaker point from me and I wouldn’t make it my entire read, but from everything else I have seen this could be plausible deniability. Don’t ever focus on this alone as to why I think UT is off and very fake
UnknownTraveler:
Slip? What slip?
I also don’t like this post and I really don’t can’t say why, but it’s just off
