This pinged me; I can't say I'm comfortable with this part of the post. This read seems much more IIOA and summary than any sort of analysis, and really comes across to me as fencesitting. At any point you can make a stance on SilverWolf and it'd still be consistent with this post. Do youhavea read on her, Newbie?
Quite honestly, the way people jumped on SW seemed really opportunistic with some flimsy reasons, but like I said, the way that she overreacted to the heat was a little off settling. My read on her is null at the moment.

Here's my other issue with your post, Newbie.You're on the fence with literally almost everyone in this game, it's mostly just "this is a good point, this is a not-so-good point" but I got nothing out of reading that, not even where you stand, which defeats the purpose of reads list. Furthermore I'm not even convinced by anything you've said since you don't have a stance to really argue for. There's MORE than enough information in this game to come up with something but I'm not even sure who you'd be for or against lynching, and we're nearing deadline fast.
I purposefully did my reads like this. I figured noting the townish and both scummy things that everyone has done would help me to avoid confirmation bias on thinking someone is scum.

Here's another question, since you apparently liked the post where I asked something like this. Who are your top 2 candidates for lynching (outside of policy)? What other suspicions were you talking about here?
Malakittens is my only current top candidate right now. I don't like how she with
complete
certainty
declared that wgeurts was just a frustrated townie right away, but seemed to soft push him as a possible mafia member a couple of posts later. She also told people to unvote but then said this. Also, I was talking about FinnLaw in that post, but it fell through because he started to look town.

Addendum because I don't feel like putting it above: I have a fleeting suspicion that Newbie went with this reads list because she felt compelled to in order to be active and provide thoughts, not because it really helps scumhunt. Reading through her ISO gives me a definite feel offencesittiness on anyone that she's not currently voting on.
Since we're nearing deadline I'm not going to push a Newbie lynch (and I still have to look over Victor) but I think this stuff should be kept in mind just in case. Very much beginning to rethink my read on her in light of Silver's meta and what people are reading off her AtE stuff.
Oh, yeah,FoS: her.
There's no fencesitting with people my votes aren't on. I just literally have trouble focusing on different aspects at the same time and not tunneling. If I feel someone is scum, I put my vote on them and go from there. That's what I'm used to and how I've basically always played since I've started mafia forum games.
