Fun fact, in the game I was talking about we got you killed and you were a serial killer that was slipping completely under the radar.
I'm going to get the first half of my reads list out. It's almost dinner time so I won't be back for a bit:
************************************************************************************
1. [m] Fantomas - Confirmed town since we've had no counterclaim as cabot's mason partner
6. [m] Fran - Almost certainly town. For a while I thought about floating the idea of scum having a "Mafia Backup" and a "Town Backup" so that they could inherit powers from both sides, but the more I thought about it the less sense it made. What would scum need with a doctor? Or an alignment cop?
22. [m] CeeCee - Town dayvig. As others have pointed out, if Ceecee was scum, why bother claiming the kill? All it did was bring suspicion down. Would have been a better play to let town wonder where it came from and what the alignment was.
2. [m] EzekelRAGE - I was suspicious enough of Zubz, who felt like despite claiming to scum read Turmoil they were avoiding actuall voting for him. EzekelRAGE hasn't done a whole lot to make me feel any better. He continues to bear down on Ceecee early on. He has an exchange with Faddy early on (3,456/3,460) that feels super weak and pointless. He does say in 3,670 during the Faddy/Fando/Malus thing that he'd vote Faddy over Fando/Malus, but I think that might just be early bussing for town cred over an actual read (mostly because he admits it would be "sheeping Fran and fanto on faddy". He was willing to hammer the vote though, which I can't imagine he would want to do if he was scum. It is, despite his miss to chuggernaut, the biggest thing I town read him for. Wanting that hammer so badly, but missing because Chuggernaut posted at almost the exact same time.
5. [f] Pirate Bae - claims Town Cop, been blocked but did clear KetKat. Alignment cop is super easy for scum to fake claim, since they know the roles, but I see no reason to doubt her right now. I'm sure scum will clear this up for is in the next night or so.
12. [m] FluxWaveZ - Sharing a boat didn't really make me feel any worse or better about Flux. The only thing that gives me just a tiny smidge of doubt that Flux is town is how weak and bizarre the move against him by Turmoil was. I have to admit the possibility that it was a sacrifice play by scum to get one of them out of contention.
7. [m] Sorian - I'm leaning scum on Sorian.
Even early on it feels like he's nitpicking to throw shade. Sure he "understand(s) the perpsective", but this is the kind of slow burn scum play I expect from Sorian. (This is incomplete, I will come back to this after I eat.)
10. [m] Fireblend - I feel like he has an eye on Turmoil early on, from pointing out Turmoil's vote for Stan as leader to asking Dr. Monkey about her having turmoil in a "no idea/don't lynch" list. He continues
his eye on Turmoil convo until the next day, where
Faddy even throws shade his way for it. He votes for Turmoil early on in the "can't move your vote C'thulhu modifier" day, bringing him into a three way tie with pirate and flux. Overall I come away with a town read on Fireblend.
16. [m] malus - Pretty strong scum read. Possibly my top at this point. A fair amount of vague or side topic posts that don't go anywhere. The graph building off (the very townread) Fran's question felt really, really steering to me, since it removed quite a few other players from people's minds. His "gun to head I townread Turmoil" post reads like a setup.
His post on Ceecee and Faddy also looks readlly bad in retrospect. I need to fully comb the last couple days posts, but I am doubting I will find much that moves the needle much.
