I think chamber/Shinobi are better options. I kinda think Oversoul's claim seems town. A useless role like that is more likely to be given to a townie, I think.
This is probably the most contrived read I've seen thus far. It's completely rooted in the fact that you think Oversoul has a nonsense role rather than trying to go through the method of his posting and deciding what kind of agenda he's pushing. I've already pointed out what I hated about some other Spyrex's 100% based in fact reads and how you can never be called out for it, and here's another one that I have a problem with.
The difference is that this post actually has a mafia mindset behind it. Oversoul's last couple of posts have been hardline against my slot, so I'm thinking that Hoopla only gave him a townread because OS is doing exactly what she wants him to do. Farside already brought up Hoopla's reads list, and her stance on OS hasn't really changed much at all, despite his last couple of posts.

Farside kind of pointed this out already, but I don't think anyone realizes that her non-reads on MS and OS have been left so open to interpretation that she can basically change them whenever she feels like. Despite having Oversoul as a scumread, having him as town for something so utterly asinine (such as a not-role that essentially winds up useless) makes it easy to vote with him for the time being while he's doing what she wants him to do.
She never has to address his posts or how he's acting, so long as she comes up with some bullshit reason to townread someone.
