if i had to
town:
clouds - see directly above
flyhn - his aura vote feels the most innocuous to me but maybe its worth checking the context of it
celever - idk i feel like hes normal this game but maybe im just the wrong one. ive never had to read scum celever so im not the most confident about this
realiti - he just sort of has to be here for now because we cant solve him on posting alone
ls - some of the things shes said raise alarm bells for me but i kind of believe her explanations and i feel like shes putting more effort than she would as mafia. honestly shes putting in more effort than she normally even does as town
pulsar - like maybe she really did just bus aura because her read did flip kind of abruptly but idk the rest of the stuff i wanna tr but im open to being wrong
skip - the vote on aura here also has its pros and cons with it being pretty abrupt but like with pulsar, everything else makes me townread skip and i think he justified his vote well today and why it was so abrupt. and thats because it really wasnt
null/mixed:
oj - tonally hes town and i dont think hes doing anything overtly scummy like he did in ke2. i think hes more similar to his town game to his scum game which is why i placed a tr on him so early but i just. dont know how some of his decisions and reads in this game are real? its so brash and strange in a way that im not sure even oj would truly and authentically believe in
tommy - this is a townlean but i think the argument of him/aura being s/s is fair. tommy can skirt past the bussing accusations because a better term for his case on aura is distancing, a common practice that tommy employs himself. it makes sense but i also like most of his posting so maybe similar to pulsar in the vein of "good in a vacuum, partner equity with aura"
texas - if theres a deepwolf i feel like its this. maybe texas is just my regular scheduled tunnel target but i cant shake that it feels off. obviously im in the minority here and if thats for a reason then i accept it
jalmont - i kind of need to feel out jalmont first. i still think zippys posting was horrible but maybe the sub out indicates a different reason than alignment for that being the case. sorry zip
tbz - tabled
hydro - tabled
whydon - tabled
mc - i really got nothing. mc just doesnt really care about this game but i dont really feel like anything hes doing is all that different to how he was in vnv. like he was really just there, he didnt really react too hard to being pushed and almost killed, and then in endgame he popped up and helped solve. im not really sure if i feel comfortable shooting here
i would like to shoot here:
caff - like if caff was mafia would he at least course correct to try and stay alive? i lean towards no tbh, he likes to be dedicated to his humor and i think hed stick to what hes doing. doing that in itself creates a doubt in your mind because oh why wouldnt he start to adjust as mafia he must just be a throwing town but i wager no
chad - even if hes town, being the gunbearer will force him to play the game. he just doesnt have an excuse anymore. hes been prodded numerous times, hes been given the information he asked for, he said he would come in and do more d2 and he hasnt and theres not much time left for a turnaround. theres no reason not to shoot him
thats kind of strange lol. im underreading scum and i usually do the opposite so im not really sure what to make of it. maybe im just feeling cautious because theres a lot of emphasis placed on my reads being the confirmed slot and i dont wanna lead us astray. please remember that although im confirmed, i have as much information as you guys. actually i have even less because you have one person you know is town, and i dont. i can be wrong, dont sheep my reads
also the tiers here ARE ordered so for example i think clouds is townier than skip
