I have read the entirety of Page 1 and skimmed the last two pages
Disappointingly, my top townread coming out of Page 1 is Gimli
I also think he's probably right about Dragon being town
I will be sus of Dann if he doesn't townread at least one of them when he starts posting reads-

I'm going to do a fairly quick skim-through to get a decent grasp of things and post simple notes
This game seems uniquely suited to me playing how I feel most comfortable playing which is nice-

Duelist Kage is the first person I feel legitimately sus about early on
I find DragonEater mindmelding on this in 74 town-indicative
CSF 105 - It's worth noting that this is very much a way to accurately solve for KJQ!scum, at least if she was playing scum at all similarly to our last game. I don't have much an opinion on KJQ myself at the minute, but I like that this post lines up with why KJQ was scum last game and am keeping my eyes peeled.
Continuing the theme of 'reads I agree with in theory even if I don't see them yet', DragonEater's 112 sounds exactly like how to read CSF from my memory. I haven't felt that strongly about CSF yet but life and energy does = town.
I'm thus far unconvinced by Dann's perspective on the game. I don't love 113, it feels strange to me that Dann doesn't seem to understand why Gimli would be hesitant to townread Dann. It sort of feels like the commentary is out-of-place and there for the sake of being there? Dunno.
If Dann is town I trust that it will be clear eventually, but so far I'm not feeling it
I kind of like Hu Tao's take on the game? The Dragon and CSF townreads feel genuine
Further down Page 7, I hard townread Hu Tao. The sequence from 167-169 screams town with a genuine perspective. I also think her read on Gimli in 178 and 179 is entirely believable based on how Death Note went
I entirely believe 215 as reasoning for Dragon joining the Gimli wagon
I don't see May!town atm when everyone else is
---
I'm at the bottom of Page 11
Drew and Hu Tao are town
I think Kage and Dann are sus and at least one is scum-

I think you can decide something is within someone’s scum range even if they’ve never done it before
And it’s not like duelist commented on some out-there gambit or something, it was literally just you throwing reads out there early
which also i feel like you do that all the time lol hence you making a thread about how to not throw reads out there so easily, even if I have a few concerns. He can see straight through how bad that was. "I've never done this as scum therefore that's a fake read" is staggering. First, how would I even know whether someone haseverdone something? I doubt any of us read every single thing that other players do. Second, I would have had so many more pleasant games without anyone ever being able to do anything but townread me if "I haven't ever done it as scum therefore I'm town" was how reads worked.-

I'm up to page 28, I'll read a bit more before work
I think it's Kage/Dann
I think Kage is giving the kind of surface-level solving and focus that scum like to give. I think especially some of Dann's more recent posts are intended to make sure Kage doesn't go over today, because he realises that he doesn't endgame if Kage flips today.
I want to read the fabled Kage Catchup Post I keep reading about, and get more confident reads on players like Black and May, but otherwise I pretty strongly prefer a flip on one of Kage/Dann and don't have a huge preference which at the moment-

I am not willing to eliminate outside of {Dannflor, Kage} todayIn post 966, Dannflor wrote: look, i have a PT with duelist and some stuff happened in there that made me not want to lim her today
I think it's possible she's scum but I'm much more interested in finding a potential partner today if that's the case
and if you think duelist is scum, I honestly think drew/dragon is a good candidate with how dragon kept soft pushing duelist and duelist basically locked dragon as town despite focusing an overwhelming amount of her posting on the issues she had with dragon
Do you prefer your own elimination or Kage's-

So evidence of Gimli-town
The main thing I saw as I was catching up re: Gimli was that his primary focus was on obtaining reads and reaching a satisfying solve
I think the progression up to 148 is very much categorical of how town-Gimli plays the game - he worked his way towards a solve he was happy with and his entire play is oriented around the reads he has presented and their strength.
I think his progression from voting Dragon in 200 to crossing him off again in 238 is telling. He puts pressure on Dragon, gets into the AtE argument with him briefly while repeating that he's going to do a proper catch-up later, and then... does said proper catch-up in the 40 minutes between 210 and 238, concluding that Dragon's town.
The whole interaction is really pointless if Gimli is scum, unless the argument is that Gimli and Dragon are scum together. This is what actual working through something in-the-moment looks like, as opposed to presenting thoughts that one wants to be picked up on and townread for.
I think Gimli's flip-flopping on whether KJQ is likely town or not is very clearly town-indicative. I think you can clearly track how he sees KJQ and see that it lines up with actual thought on whether KJQ has the potential to be scum in this game. Like Dragon, he comes to the conclusion that KJQ is likely to just be town.
---
I'm about a third of the way through Gimli's ISO and I feel like I'm going to continue saying variants of the same thing. Overall I think Gimli's objective is primarily getting an accurate solve of the game and wrapping it up. It's energy that I frequently resonate with as town particularly in Micros (I seem to be doing it right now), and it's done pretty flatly in a way that doesn't naturally draw many townreads (which is the opposite of Gimli's usual scum approach).
I'm getting bored but let me know if you want any more of this Hu-

I think there are four viable potential scum and she's one of them
I have a very poor grasp on what kind of player she is
She vaguely gives the impression that she's good enough at scum that simple tells wouldn't really work on her
Nothing has me leaning one way or the other atm really

I am significantly more anxious as scum than as town, that is accurate
I also feel anxious in this game
There are a few reasons I'm anxious with this game in particular
1. I think you're pretty likely to be scum and I fear you, but I also fear being wrong about that
2. Outside of that in particular, I'm uncomfortable with the synergy between what the players in this game value and what I provide to a game of Mafia
3. I am most relaxed playing a game from the start and creating things to analyse; combined with the above, I feel like I've stepped into a well-developed gamestate with important dynamics already in place and I don't really want to disrupt what has already developed
4. Probably a fair amount of IRL anxiety bleeding in-

I think there's two scum in {Kage, Dann, May, Black}
I think {Drew, Hu Tao, CSF, JacksonVirgo} is all town
Kage and Dann are the two players I feel *scummy* about and I think they make sense as a team
If that's wrong, May and Black are essentially PoE for me-

I'm less convinced of Dann!scum than I have represented thus far
Dann was half-right when he said I really want to catch him; it's less that I want to *be right* on him, and more that I feel an emphasised read there is necessary if a hypothetically accurate Dann!scum wagon was going to succeed today
Dann's reaction to the pressure on both Dann and Kage has me leaning scum on him more
I feel like everything he has posted lately has overtly, conveniently been designed for the purpose of making the vote today not land on Dann or Kage-

But if Kage can be talked down as an elimination today, I don't see why she wouldn't be talked down as an elimination tomorrow when scum have more thread control

'Just vote Dannflor out at ELo' is definitely not just a given even if it seems obvious to several people at the time-
