started reading isos and then got sidetracked by irl, but here's what i sifted through:

pulsar512b
back & forth reading through her iso and i'd see a post that gutread scum followed by a post that seemed townie multiple times. i read through some of the game she played with AG as a partner and her presence was different than it is here, in the sense that she hard avoided game talk early on and literally just chatted. despite still being somewhat present here, she airs a few game thoughts and there's posts like #1631 & #1636 where i'm like... is this even something you'd see written about a partner that's being bussed? defending AG on the grounds of being "inactive" is weird i guess cause he didn't seem inactive to me, i'm just partial towards any defense of AG there and don't think it fits the obvious scum hellbus narrative

then #454 is killing me i can't tell if this is like a slip and she's townspewing celever or i'm just reading too far into it, or even possibly a partnered post cause what tf does it accomplish other than echo aired sentiments and why did she choose to double up on that to celever directly
clouds what u need to realize is im very stupid. what i meant is that i havent seen him roll mafia yet in the last few games

i should actually say things about the game uhhh i don't know who's town or not. im not gonna read back past games thats too much work for me uhhhhh i'm on celever right. seems as good as anyone else. could be convinced to go ehmcee if SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHY THEYRE VOTING HIM

is there any way we could differentiate vengeful and mafia goons? maybe if people we think are scum seem to be trying to steer us to one player over another when mafia think ok look one of us is dying may as well take the gunbearer down w us. that seems super hard to determine and too many assumptions

probably not and we have to shoot both anyways so I wouldn't worry about it too much - if we hit vengeful I won't be compalining
 
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
