Below is my understanding of the current state of the game and my current reads from slogging through ISOs and some of the 200-odd pages I've missed:
Wilky - claimed Nick Valentine, Miller Slow CopREALMEN ONLY JUNGLE wrote:i dont understand why the only proper cop in the game is a miller
- ^ This pinged me as strange, too. There's also the flavor oddity of the other Miller being a completely different race (though I understand it makes sense for Nick's synth-ness, so maybe the point is moot). I was also having trouble finding an instance of someone other than Wilky being RB'd by not-hebichan/OnTheMark. Do we even know for sure a scum RB exists, or if this is just Wilky's making excuses?
- Early posts had me questioning, but more recent posts make me like Ankamius as town. I particularly liked the check on YT here.
- WOW, what an easy town-read, even apart from the role claim.
- Not the most substantive. For a VT claim, I feel like I expect...more. In my eyes, VTs ought to be more aggressive in play-style and substantive in analysis since we've got less to lose, and if Mafia kills a VT instead of a PR, awesome - we're doing our job right, I figure. Just feel like the play doesn't match the role, and for that, I lean scum. Of course, I'm not familiar with Dunnstral, but that's my assessment as an outsider. Side note: delving too much into flavor (i.e. Trashcan Carla's Institute associations) I don't think is particularly fruitful, particularly since this is, from what I understand, supposed to be spoiler-free. But I do think matching role to flavor is a fair way to assess (e.g. Preston Garvey as a quest-giver).
- This one bugs me, as I feel like I can't get a good read one way or the other. I kept going back and forth reading through his ISO. I suppose if his inventions have been verified to have been received, then I suppose he's a safe town-read.
- Gave me REALTOWNSMEN vibes from D1 from reading his ISO. I tend to lean toward the opinion that overt, belligerent un-helpfulness is a town trait, even if it's not, well, helpful toward the town cause. I feel like masked un-helpfulness (e.g. saying a lot without saying anything) pings scummy to me, and I've not gotten that feel, wholly apart from taking his role into consideration, which is basically confirmed from what I've read? Seems like a no-brainer town-read (or maybe town-reedif we're in the jungle!...No one? Okay...).
Reads list summary (from most town-y to most scummy):
REALMEN ONLY JUNGLE
Ankamius
Alchemist21
Wilky
Dunnstral
Thinking about it, I would be willing to bet only one scum is left. I would have trouble figuring 2 scum into my reads.
