I'll have to warn people that I don't know how my activity's going to turn out. For now I'm ok but my grandmother's been in hospital, and while it looked like she was on the mend, things have become stressful again lately. I have time now though, so I'm going to make an attempt at getting my reads straight!
But first! Some follow-upy response things.
In post 326, Bookitty wrote:The posts just above the one that I unvoted in was the first one that showed me any sign of the curious and intelligent scumhunter that I expect from Farside. I unvoted her because of that.
It was the suddenness of the unvote that confused me. I mean, the way I imagine your thought process is that you were thinking Farside was scum and she kept posting like scum and this reinforced your view and then she makes one post that sounds like Farside-town and you unvote her? Is the post that Farside made something super unlikely to come from her if she's scum? Because if not, I don't understand why you'd make such a sudden read switch after numerous scum posts and one town post. It feels a bit like you decided to change that read and did, rather than forming the read based on farside's posts.
Also boo, I still think you should just do whatever you think with your role and not stress about it too much, but I appreciate the fact that you're really trying to make the most of it.
Shii, is there anything that caused the dissipation of your Jingle scumread. He's still in my maybe pile.

The first person I've decided to look at is Reck, because last night it occurred to me that he might be scum! Why it took so long for this possibility to occur to me is unclear, especially when you consider the fact that it seems Reck is scum in every game I play with him (the RNG goddesses never allow me to be scumbuddies with him though, which sucks!) and that he was my fake third scumread. Despite the fact that it did take this long, however, now we're here!
Any scumread I do have on Reck is quite weak, because there's not all that much there, but I may end up voting for him just because it's a sort of hipster vote and the fact is that I'm townreading almost everyone else!
I guess my thought at the moment is that it feels like he's pretending to be the ditzy blonde that is his avatar when I know there's much more to him than his avatar. Stuff like this is what I'm talking about:
I also don't see this as attributable to lack of engagement with the game because there's a sense of showiness to the posts quoted above, of the 'look at how sheepy/non-pro-town/otherwise non-threatening I am' variety.
I also get that the whole not wanting to get shot thing may be a reason, but I believe that one-shot cop is not super valuable in the grand scheme of things and would not warrant the posts quoted above (I expect this could cause disagreements and I acknowledge I may be wrong but this is my current opinion).
Probably won't be too interested in lynching him today due to cop and the fact that my read on him is still a work in progress, but I am eagerly awaiting more posts.

There's a lot less I want to talk about than I expected. The person I'd be most comfortable lynching is VictorDeAngelo. The fact that he's just replaced in is annoying, but the idea of lynching anyone else makes me feel urgh.
Vote: VictorDeAngelo
Aronis is a wagon I'm not going to be supporting unless Marquis does something to get me all excited about it.
Grib still makes me feel all conflicted after looking through his ISO again.
34,
140 and
174 all have things that I find town, but other posts feel pretty scummy, so I'm pretty eager to see what a replacement does with the slot.
), but it's also possible scum shot the serial killer, so I don't want to assume that my lovely vest is gone.
