So.
-Heartless is town. The only reason, and I do mean the ONLY reason, to call them scum would be paranoia of, "They're a better scum player than people give them credit for!" And to that idea, I say, "fuck that". They're town. Period. End of discussion. No paranoia. No second-guessing. None. Nadda. Whatsoever. Rock. Read never changing, no matter what, I will override any player claiming to the contrary to the point where if someone claimed a cop guilty on them I'd lynch the cop claim. Top tier of top tier town.
-Cephrir is town. The only reason he's not top-tier town is unlike Heartless who I refuse to cave in to paranoia about, Ceph has SUCH a strong scumgame that, yes, I respect it enough to hold a
little
paranoia. But a healthy caution of not blindly trusting him. Otherwise, I've got no interest in lynching him. It'd take a cop guilty for that. His play is just town.
-Firebringer is town. While I don't put much stock in townslips, I happen to believe Firebringer is town anyway. The BipolarChemist wagon was awful, BPC looked town to me, and Firebringer's posting is pretty similar to Wifom City I'd say, so all signs point positively to Firebringer being town.
-NS didn't really do much (I got a read, but I forgot what it was), but when I look at LickedyQuickety, I just think "town". There's things here and there that vaguely support it, I suppose, but I just get this overwhelming
feeling
about the slot being town.
-dave is a decent townread. It's nothing really much, just general posting which is fairly townish in overall, well, everything. Nothing in particular, just town-looking in look and feel.
-PV I'm thinking pretty decently is town. He might even be above dave, but he's definitely on that level of townness.
-TheWayItEnds is at the same level as HerryPanther, pretty much, except with more posting from him. It's just his posting has done less. I feel he's more likely to be town than not, but I don't actually have that much a read nor do I care to.
-HerryPanther is an okay townread, but they really haven't done much yet. I happen to think they're more likely to be town than not, but there's nothing strong about the read, just a general feeling.
-MattP right now is hovering at nulltown. There's not really much making me like him, but there's nothing making me really dislike him, either. I think the things he's focusing on indicate he might be town, but I'm not sure.
-Monkeyman is at the same level of nulltown. Normally, there's a very strong derp-Monkey presence that lets you know he's town. Haven't really seen much of that, which is a bit concerning, though I did pick up hints of it. (Just hints--they could be just-derp-Monkey, rather than Monkey's distinctive town-derp. Thus, nulltown.)
-Spiffeh is hovering at the nullline, because while there's some potential indicators of being town, I caught a red flag which could mean scum. Overall pretty much not making an impact yet one way or another, though if I had to take a guess I'd say town.
-BotLane is a weird case. Post-wise, I hate everything I'm reading from them. Positioning-wise, I dislike their wagoning pattern very, very much. But reads-wise, BotLane's reads--while not perfectly reflecting my own--are pretty dang close to my reads. If not in the now, then in the then. So they're null, pending further sorting.
-Reasonably Rational is not exactly a weak scumread, but not a middle-strength scumread either. I happen to think that this feels different from the RR I've come to expect, and analytically, they look bad. But I'm not even remotely close to certain about this.
-Kthxbye is a decent scumread of mine. I've hated everything he's done so far, from the analysis to his buddying of BotLane to his reversal on them today to his positioning on the Performer wagon, basically, everything. Why only decent? Because I know I have a historically-established bias towards scumreading him his alignment regardless, so this could be me just repeating history. Otherwise, the read would be much stronger.
-pisskop looks bad analysis-wise, and while I'm not certain, I
think
this is his scum meta. I'm sorry that I can't tell you for certain; I lack the number of games needed to be sure, but the way pisskop's handling the game feels more like his scum meta than his townplay. So that nets him a middle-strength scumread.
-Vedith is a very strong scumread. While I caught hint of something that made me pause, ultimately, I don't think it's true, thus, there's nothing town to redeem him. Bad posting, bad interactions with Performer, basically, just scum.
