Was finally able to get around to this. Going on with the townreads first. I'll split them for ease of read. You may consider these as part of proper Hydra posts as they summarize our thougts.
TOWN
farside
: farside is probably the read we agree most on, mostly because I (zar) feel confident on that read and SnowStorm is also in agreement with it. The confidence on the read comes mostly from farside's scumhunting and the thought process are coming across as genuine. (i.e. her questioning of Ankamius sheeping her between 161 and following up in 192 and 398 looks natural and fits with what I'd expect from somebody trying to figure things out. The way her reads are evolving feels transparent as she focuses on different people she's interacting with. Awesome
: We also have a townread on Awesome through Tammy for being Tammy, mostly. SnowStorm feels confident on his read on her, I tend to not be as confident but I think I've started to learn to determine the intent in her posts early on at least since my last game. I think her engagement with the game is town-leaning. I also tend to think that as scum her arguments in game w/ other players tend to be more centered on being accused for being scum for things that she assimilates are more relative to her personality, and I'm not seeing it. Also, I think she tends to approach early game more casually as scum nowadays, which is something I'm not seeing here. There's also the hard defense on EddieFenix's claim, I don't think it's something she would do as scum as it doesn't really bring her any profit early on.Pirate Ika
: SnowStorm says he feels fairly confident in this read. His argument is mostly based on past experience and on a general good feeling on the tone of the posts, but nothing really logical he can pinpoint at SS isn't exactly the most logical of players anyway
. On my end, I didn't have much of a read on them until #414, which I think the response looks town to me, at least. I don't really see much benefit from Mollie!scum (I think that was Mollie) in antagonizing Awesome as to later go on placate her there. Plus I liked her #559 on DGB and I liked her interjection on eyestott in #630. Also anyone willing to re-read shos gets a star in my book.
