7. Creature!! Synik
is FBI-agent (by claim) and it coincides with my setup spec of there being an SK. He's un CC'd which makes him semi-confirmed. Other than that, I have absolutely nothing to pint out in his ISO, and I do agree that Creature is a lurksack as both alignments but more so as Scum, so there's that.
11. Wisdom
is town based on posts from around page 12 onwards. Had some scummy vibes from him before that though.
4. Harkonnen97
had him pegged as town by virtue of #108, unless it was an actual slip and he+SC are scum. Also #503 had that same trolling impression on me. This read would be flipped 180 though if SC flips scum.
20. Vecna
was the towniest poster in early game. He's forcefully putting himself in the spotlight for both investigatives to check him and/or scum to shoot him. That read was a bit shaken around pages 49-50 where he was asked (by Nero) about Basic but responded as if it was Synik's wagon. It could still be an innocent confusion moment, but his early posts had me expecting him to be more alert.
2. Sondam (MariaR/Gerryoat)
are probably town for the way they expressed suspicion about SC's early posts. (As not to be misunderstood: THE WAY, not that they merely suspected SC). HOWEVER; their defence of lurkers in general, and Creature in particular is concerning. I may sympathise with their cause if it was just one or two lurkers, but the more lurkers in the game the less control town has on wagons bc scum lurkers will pop up at the right time to vote and/or make noise, while the town lurkers will have no udea what's going on and may still vote on recommendation of others. LURKERS ARE DEAD WEIGHT TO TOWN regardless.
13. SirCakez
is probably town because his posts at the start of the game gave me scum vibes. Scum!Cakes had fooled me 4/4 times before, and the ONLY time I actually did vote him to the lynch he flipped town. However, I've started to worry about some of his “revelations” of late, like in post #1111 where he stated he thought there's at least one scum on Synik wagon, but possibly more. I mean, it was a 9-man wagon, and Synik being the “target” that's 45% of the vote-base. Of course it's likely to have “at least one” scum on iut regardless of Synik's alignment. The question is whether Synik is Town or Scum, but even then one cannot tell for sure if scum are pushing the wagon or mostly staying off it. I'd say if Synik is Scum there's a higher probability his teammates joined the wagon later for town cred, but if he's Town then I cannot decide whether the wagon is scum driven or if scum saw the town doing them a favour and decided to keep away so as not to be on the receiving end of the backlash.
16. Nero Cain
is probably town. I'm a bit worried though he hasn't fake dayvigged anyone yet. However, I have played with him 4 times before (he was town in all 4) and he sounds like the Nero I know (a bit less irritated though, but that maybe bc none of you got on his nerves like some of the previous player lists did.. and that includes me)
Oh! OK. IAI is starting to piss him off. GOOD JOB!
18. Gamma Emerald
Looks like a new player learning through experimenting. Leaning Town based on me not expecting him to actually purposefully play it that way (just my own line of thoughts though).
14. Narna!
is another slight town read. He's opinionated, loud and willing to engage. I'd still need a bit more of this stuff to get a stronger read though. He's often wrong (IMHO) but he will push what he believes in regardless. I like THIS Narna
However, I don't like him insisting on getting Synik's flavour after having leant more about the flavour myself. It seems that in order to kill someone you need to know their character name as well as their player name (in flavour this is “thinking of the face while writing down the name in the Death Notebook). I'm not quite sure if this is just normal or if it was scum-driven.
15. I Am Innocent
maybe town for #1061. I can feel the frustration of losing to Sscum!lurkers. Been there myself. I don't get his argument in #1490 though.
10. Kraska77!
was null, which is another weird impression all in and by itself, as I usually scum read her style of playing. Still feel like something is off there, and posts like #1489 & # 1494 were terribad. Hmmmn. On the bright side, nice avi.
1. Not_Mafia!

19. Ooba!! SnarkySnowman
are two slots I'm not touching with a barge pole. I simply can't tell their scum!lurking from their town!lurking, so -unless they do something extraordinary- I'm leaving them to NC.
21. Mewtaph
I was giving a pass based on his join date. Nothing too conclusive in his posts to earn him a solid read either way, so he was basically at null early game, but he's starting to act anti-town and a bit hostile in an unpleasant way. “You're not doing the effort to read me, so I'm not talking to you” just isn't the way to duck queries my friend. How about being sarcastic in an “Almost-style”
8. BROseidon!
is a slight scum lean. Deliberately falling behind is not good, but explicitly announcing it makes me second guess myself. I haven't seen much “content” from him since, although he's been actively posting!!
12. Iraonavp
is another scum lean. At first I was going to add him to my “can't read” list, although -addmitedly- he's no lurker. His #672 though is about as weird as it gets. “Maybe” THAT explains some of his weird reads. I don't remember him giving any reads as scum though, so -once again- I'm not too sure if I'm reading him correctly.
6. Comparing Realities!! Basic
Finally, a read on that slot. Not a great (as in confident) one but a read none-the-less. And it's another weak scum read based on post #850 and beyond. Their join date doesn't mean much to me because we have already been introduced. Um, I should add <redadacted> but I can't, so y'all are going to have to settle for that for now. (To clarify; I disagree with their stance on voting lurkers, and even more on mixing “voting” with “lynching”. In other words I'm with Nero here, and especially when the player's meta (Creature) is to lurk as scum. Of course, the newcomer could very much change the read and prove Creature was actually over-saturated with games or something, but you can't tell that from an established scum play style, and there's nothing wrong in apllying a little pressure on a newcomer to see how they react. Also the push on Nero is not justified IMHO. The <redacted> is what prevents this from being an explicit scum read. Also between him and hid predecessor they only have a total of 25 posts combined. Oh, my! It seems I have much more to say about Basic than most others!!
5. JasonWazza!
Nothing remarkable in his ISO, but #1559 is like he's claiming SK outright. He doesn't care if the claim is legit as it “can only find one person”!! OK, but if he's TOWN, why would we lynch him still? Why not let the SK take care of him while we try to catch and lynch SCUM instead?? I'm astonished though that the idea gained support from multiple players. I don't really know what to make of them supporters.
I'm fairly undecided about
3. Randomidget!

9. Ankamius
. Still need more from them.
Finally:
17. ActionDan!! Almost Chara (Hydra of Not Chara and Almost 50)
are town by virtue of Kuroi saying so. I wouldn't usually take Kuroi's word on face value, but somehow I'm getting strong town vibes from him in this game I wouldn't expect him to tell us a lie or pass his own thoughts on us as mod-confirmed.
