I am still getting back into the swing of things after being away for a long time, but generally in early days I prefer to go with no more than a top-3 type of list rather than complete read lists because I think the latter gives too much ammunition to scum. When I re-read as days progress and more information becomes known by flips and such, I try to do so without confirmation bias but I'm human so I am sure that some creeps in, but sometimes I change my read entirely on someone in subsequent days.
I think that I may have been appeased by the amusing, kinder, and gentler persona of the replacement player, Big the Cat. I do not like abrasive, arrogant, obnoxious, rude play styles (such as was displayed by BROseiden) so it is entirely possible that the more pleasant play style of Big the Cat led me to disregard my previous scum read on that particular player slot.
In addition, as a result of my most recent re-read, I realize that I am struggling somewhat with trying to get firm reads on people. As mentioned when I replaced in, I have been away for quite a while and I'm rusty. I am hoping to improve this and get back to my stride before too long.
For instance, I thought Domino seemed pretty town, but I get a scum vibe from Varsoon who replaced Domino (because his Day 1 posts are essentially, "I'm town", "I'm town", "haven't caught up", "would be good with a Bro lynch", "would be really cool with a CD lynch", "intend to hammer", "I'm town" and his Day 2 posts seem to be mostly just fluff.)
As noted above, I thought BROseiden was scummy but I didn't get the same vibe from his replacement. Similarly, I am uncertain about you and Mainez; I may have underestimated your scumminess and overestimated that of Mainez. And in retrospect, notquitethere looks scummy as all get out with his comment that CoolDog was about to be 'mislynched' and yet switching his vote to CoolDog shortly thereafter, but at the same time he has quite a lot of good content and would appear town.
I have been finding myself going back and forth on JohnnyFarrar and Toasty as well, but I think that Toasty is likely town. I still think that West9 and Aristo look scummy although West9's posts have been significantly better than Hydra's who he replaced.
In short, I am frustrated with myself for not being able to pin down my reads more firmly at present, but I'm trying.
