Okay, I've done an entire massive re-read and I've put all my thoughts about the game under player headings so it might be hard to understand but I'll try my best.
semioldguy
Quick changing of votes of the beggining possibly in hope to cause a bandwagon on Serrose, he then starts asking questions about whether others have played with each other or not. This in itself is a town tell as gaining a good meta on your opponents is a VERY strong tool, its shown in this quote.
"TDC, have you played with Lowell before"
In relation to Ness he comments saying:
"I'm thinking slightly more likely town as an "oops, I messed up and don't want to deal with my screw up" sort mindframe. Though it wouldn't be unreasonable as scum, I think if that were the case she would have stayed at least a little bit longer to attempt defending herself.
We should look elsewhere for scum for now."
This is a very good point, if she was mafia I think she would have got much more defensive and played the newbie card to an even bigger degree.
He mentions that SerRose was acting anti-town because he wasn't hepling and his posts were scummy but at the same time doesn't mention Lowell who has been doing a very similar thing.
He moves on to actively scumhunt and ask questions at the same time not tunneling on anyone like many other players are.
Overall read on semioldguy - Strong read as a Townie.

Calls Semi obv scum straight away there's a possibility that this was a small early buss. He then brings in the option and consequences of a policy lynch, I find this to be very townie, as although he explains how it can be good, he also brings up an excellent point which is it rarely ever works here. This is all shown in this post;
"my knowledge of lowell is that he lurks. fatally so. i've read him lynched as doctor. i have yet to read a game of his where he participates a good deal and responds to pressure. he's a good candidate for policy lynch, however, i have yet to see a policy lynch on this site hit scum. so... "
He then progresses to further scumhunt although he has yet to make a strong case against anyone, I'd like to see more of his thoughts on every player in the game.
He ends up voting just to get a hopeful lynch done before deadline, where he votes in this post:
-"vote: confid
L-1. nobody hammer. let's get a claim. he doesn't look good on reread. two days to deadline. discuss... "
This is a townie move, to ensure no one hammers and to put a pressure vote so close to the deadline, however a claim straight away isn't the best way to do it, watch for his reactions and get him to naturally claim instead of insisting him to.
Overall read on don_johnson - Medium read as a Townie.
Lowell
He Comments that he's unlynchable possibly a soft-pr claim early in the game for no real reason, this is shown in this post:
"@semi- while I appreciate your desire to protect me, you forget I'm pretty much unlynchable. "
He then Bandwagons on Serrose without and reason and doesn't add any content or thoughts on the game. He then defends it by trying to say it was due to a lack of attention and still doesn't add his thoughts on the game.
"unvote
sorry wasn't paying attention, didn't realize that was L-1. Just felt like a good bandwagon."
I've noticed he mainly comments on the 'funny' or sarcastic comments in the game, and none of the in depth play. He tries to use Serrose's inactivity as an excuse to put him back at L-1 and hopefully get a quick hammer.
"Who knows. People are touchy. Serrose doesn't seem to be in any hurry to rush to his own defense, though, so whatever. I'll probably put that vote back. "
The one attack and FoS he has made in the day was quite interesting, it was on Confid with some valid points, showing some small signs of scumhunting, would love to see his thoughts on other players though. The attack on Confid could be an attempt to push the lynch however I think it is a genuine sign of scumhunting.
Overall read on Lowell - Small read as a Mafia.
I need a break, the rest will be up within an hour from now.
