I diiiiid and I sawwww I was giving you a nudge!
So you were looking for reads from Quilford and more specifically on Serra? (Excuse me if I'm reading this wrong!) I don't see how this has to do with much really. I don't think you got much of an answer either since Quilford kinda made his answer vague after his not wanting to make a readslist.
I was reading back in order to respond to you, went, "Huh, serrapaladin's big post is actually a lot less substantial than I remember. Maybe I should reevaluate." So then I had a moment of paranoia about Quilford for being all, "ilu Mina for your gorgeous reads!" (also, since I think that's the point where Empire started chiming in with, "Hey, Mina, watch out for Quilford, because Regfan and I have been TALKING about him" and I started getting paranoid).
As for why I initially townread him...I had a positive reaction to his big post because I agreed with virtually all his opinions, and I just liked the tone for some reason.
You put Serra as "probably town" with Quilford and ETL without much explanation. Serra had made two posts, one without much content. Even with agreeing with the points in one post, how can you call that town so quickly? I just don't understand that. Furthermore, I don't understand how you're now saying Serra could be scum. Serra has done nothing. I don't get how that's not null.
ETL I remember there were specific posts I townread (I forget what they are, but I'll look for them when I get home), but it's mostly gut and just that she looked like she was scumhunting in her interactions with Mara/Quilford. Quilford's actual case I thought was..eh, all right for an RVS case? ETL's first few posts were a bit iffy, although I don't know if "jumpy" is the word I'd use and I remember her looking a lot better at the point you jumped in. But your post felt very empty and felt more like it was subtly pushing the ETL-is-scummy-because-look-someone-made-a-case-on-it, but without joining the wagon or really coming across as though you sincerely believed it.
In the question I asked you to respond to, I even mentioned I had made a few posts before the one you're calling empty about some thing ETL had said. I was under the impression others were bothered by those posts too, which I pointed out. At that point ETL was probably the closest I'd be to calling someone scum. I also emphasized fairly heavily that I didn't have strong reads there too. I feel like you're slightly misrepresenting my post despite me pointing out that I had commented on a number of ETL's stuff beforehand.
(Speaking of which, where is ETL, I know she's been on today...?)
I buy the teammate argument--tbh, I was expecting someone to go, "Omigod, you're subtly casting doubt on Quilford by blaming Regfan." However, Empire and Regfan are both fantastic town players (not that Zar is bad by any means, either!), so their opinions have a lot of weight with me, and we're being very hands-on with each other's games so far. Expect their names to be mentioned a lot more.
My teammates are much better players than I am, but I feel as though if I were to just take their reads at face value and throw them out here, that's being kinda sketchy. Like I could see scum throwing out their partner's reads like you have and then having them easily glossed over, which I feel like even I have done (glossing over that is). For town, I feel like it's a bit lazy I guess? Like if you're saying a partner's read, but you are kindaish disagreeing or not seeing it, why are you not asking them and talking about it? When you're posting a read (like your partners thinking I'm townish, but you not), are they having more reasoning, are you actively discussing why or why not I or someone else is town or scum? I'm really bothered by these kinds of things you have been throwing out and hence my vote on you. And your response here feels very much so sloughing it off as "Oh they're better than me".-

Least you're honest.

You came in when the wagons are tied, vote me for what Patrick said, and don't say anything about the rest of the game.

You may be able to get serious reads based on the early game, but most people can't. Why don't you explain your Serra read?
I will say that your posts in that game are similar to this game, so I may be wrong about you.-

@BPC, I don't want to do quote stripes, so general responses to this:
1) serrapaladin is now in my pool by PoE, since I have reasons to like most of the player list. Hecouldbe scum, basically.
2) Quilford saying his readslist wasn't identical to mine meant virtually all the mileage I'd get out of the "why did you sheep a flawed reads list" line of inquiry was gone.
3) Yep, I had an instinctive gut town read on him based on one post that I liked felt like trying. Why do you find that so out of the ordinary?
4) I was hoping to be lazy tonight and not reread all the early ETL stuff, but maybe I'll have to do it. The entire exchange was not all that interesting to me beyond "oh, hey, this post by BPC sounds like a scum post." It has less to do with what you argued and more to do with how.
5) The game started yesterday, and so far, our conflicting schedules, time zones, and sleep patterns mean we've rarely been online at the same time--and when we have, they'll go, "hang on, I want to focus on this game first." As a result, our conversations about Twin Trap haven't really become a dialogue yet. (E.g., Regfan's reads were messages on Skype I saw after he'd gone to bed). Actually, I like that you made the observation about lack of discussion, since it's true so far, but it'll probably change soonif Empire ever gets back to me about why he town reads you instead of putting it off to watchThe Walking DeadHEY EMPIRE THIS IS A TEST ARE YOU READING THIS GAME YOU LAZY FUCKER?
6) I don't know, I get why an outsider might dislike it, but I much prefer being transparent and sharing this kind of inter-team stuff, particularly since, e.g., I don't feel comfortable pushing a you-wagon when half my team is against it. (I mostly mentioned the Regfan reads as pressure on Quilford, though.) And frankly, I suspect that people value their opinions more than mine, so I feel compelled to share them.
However, that was at least an improvement, so I'd thank you if you weren't messing with my biases and making the game harder.-

Quilford, as a fair warning I don't think you're going to get anything productive by continuing to argue with Alchemist at this point. I think the case has been made, and turning this into a back-and-forth might start to bog up the thread. Remember the adage about not convincing scum that they're scum?
Doing a reread, but I'm posting this here since my notes will be in spoiler tags and I want it visible.

(Hee hee, I was talking with some of my team but deliberately not mentioning this game just to see how long it takes Empire to notice my post. ^_^)
Spoiler: Early game thoughts that became a rambly, wishy-washy stream-of-consciousness wall, so I'm spoilering them
The tl;dr version is that Mara and BPC (although I'm not fully ready to eliminate him from my suspect pool yet, since I don't think he's said anything unfakeable) look better, while I'm now more suspicious of ETL, because a lot ofherposts are a bit off/fakeable...but her town play could just be kind of reactive...
.____.
Oh, and also, both Regfan and Empire think ETL is town!

2 town on Fenchurch, 2 town on me, no scum.
