Kraska is probably the player I'm most familiar with in this playerlist and I
think
I'm pretty good at reading her (and she's tough for most to read imo so). I think her pushing Elyse and being in the RVS spicy-wagon were town-indicators for me because usually (usually) as scum she tends to avoid the bigger conflicts in the gamestate unless it's necessary for her to survive. Her reads feel and developed like typical Kraska reads so I don't really see the issue there. I do have some doubts about her though so she's not a top-townread, if she's scum I have a few tells of mine that I think would catch her anyway so I'm not that paranoid of her.
I'm currently in a (probably problematic, probably) mindset that one of {Elyse, Nacho} is scum. Initially, I disliked Nacho's questioning of Kraska as several others did, and I liked Elyse's push on it. But during their wall wars, I think Nacho acquitted himself well. Plus, Elyse's doubling down on Nacho had that "i'm going to look for every post Nacho made and make it look bad!" vibe to it.
At the same time
, Elyse did make a few good points and was the one that made me question my Camn read, so if Camn flips scum then I think Elyse is town. I can be a really huge fucking waffle as town sometimes, especially if I'm in a game where I just don't really have a solid scumread on everyone
Dram is kind of an oddity, I guess. I didn't like his posts wrt my early townreads and I thought they were scummy, but I think most people are right in that I was probably overreacting to it. He hasn't really done anything to make me want to townread him though. If he
does
flip red though I'm going to take a really good look at the people saying "oh dram is just being dram so he's town".
i kind of just reread this post and cringed, i s2g i'm better than this holy hell but anyway
ranmaru's wanting me to take actual stances is a really townie thing btw so congrats on beating postie as the top-tier townread
