Depends on the person. Some people find it easier because you're sticking to a narrative as scum where as town you are trying to figure things out. So as town you may be less sure of yourself. Does something from your history with volx make him strike you as being one way or the other? Do you think it's possible it could be as simple as he had more free time in the past than he does now?In post 274, Egix96 wrote:

Of course, not everyone has that problem, but I was guessing it could be the case here.3-2 as scum and 5-8 as town

Ok, so initial reads.
Volxen - Veering scum, still not keen on the reasoning against Bambi it's a 13 person game, a 4 player wagon isn't the worst thing in the world at this early stage. A bit of fence sitting 'unable to form strong reads' but claimed almost50 as somewhat towny without any reasoning.
Sleepless Assassin - Veering town at this early stage, votes have been thrown out in various direction so there's some confidence and attempts at investigation.
Reaper of Souls - Is he fence-sitting or just very unsure of himself? I'm not sure, couple of names thrown out but no strong opinions put out there yet. Neutral veering scum, thought the removal of the RVS was weird when he had no reads to follow it up with.
ofrhz - right now town, quite fast and loose with posts but doing some good pressing/probing. If I'm wrong there then he's a confident scum player to play that way.
Gamma Emerald - neutral right now, nothing there screams scum but is questioning others but not really offering much substance right now
Egix96 - town, questioning reads and also picked up on Reaper's removal of his random first vote.
DS - No strong read on them at this point. Did feel the Bambi vote was a little weak but could just be a bad read or all they've got to go on right now.
davesaz - No read yet, not much of substance at this point.
Clemency - 63 posts since game start and absolutely zero substance. Too much white noise to be scum, so for now I say town.
Bambi - All over the place, I don't know where to start. Quoted Johnny Johnny, so as a parent of 2 young children that's enough to sway me for now. Town.
Almost50 - veering scum right now, but not strong. Again another that pointed at Bambi for voting for him, but since the vote was for him it doesn't read as much as the others who highlighted it. Also some posts I can't tell if are serious so that could be deliberate.
Adelbert - Has posted twice, both times a vote with no reasoning. Isn't participating in the game, votes without reasons can be early and random but also might be scum trying to hide (and might have done so in a busier game).
Had a real long play gap as I mentioned before, so I know the history/play style of nobody, just got instinct at this point.
So,Unvote Sleepless Assassin
Vote Volxen-

Well yes, I did say that not everyone posts less as scum. That last point does seem plausible, seeing as he's not the only person who's been lurking so far . Besides, it's not as if I can give him any more than a slight lean either way based on so little content.In post 276, Sleepless Assassin wrote:Depends on the person.

I think it's best if I go read Watchmen now, it might give me some useful insight.-

Btw I've just finshed reading the first Day of that Watchmen game. I think it really helps to read the actual thread and not just volxen's ISO because it's important to see why he was being scumread.
Disappointingly, it hasn't done much to change my read on him tho-

Think there's been a movement to paint Bambi as scum, about PR speculation and also jumping on almost50's bandwagon. DS and Volxion just casually parking their votes for completely different reasons, not actively attacking but softly sowing suspicion. Maybe I'm imagining it, but maybe not.

Re-quoting these posts for context
So you think DS and volxen may be shading Bambi here, that's fine. However, the phrase "paint Bambi as scum" implies that you think Bambi is scum's designated mislynch of the day or something.In post 256, bristep123 wrote:Ok, 9 pages to catch up on.

I think in order to organically form a read like this one, you need to be townreading Bambi with some confidence.
This isn't a very good reason to call someone Town. The reason why I have an issue with your Bambi read in particular (as opposed to say, your townread on Clemency) is because at least your tr on clemency was based on tone. Also the bolded bits are slightly contradictory.In post 278, bristep123 wrote: Bambi -All over the place, I don't know where to start.Quoted Johnny Johnny, so as a parent of 2 young children that's enough to sway me for now.Town.
Compare your Bambi read with a couple others:
Gamma and dave both have fewer posts, but in terms of actual content, I believe they've already contributed more content to the game than Bambi has so far. So I guess it's interesting they're null while Bambi is town.In post 278, bristep123 wrote: Gamma Emerald - neutral right now, nothing there screams scum but is questioning others but not really offering much substance right now
davesaz - No read yet, not much of substance at this point.
Maybe a little too early to say, but I think it's unlikely bristep and volxen are scum together.-

I think it's probably better to hold off on explaining metareads on volxen in greater detail until the guy posts more in the game.In post 286, Sleepless Assassin wrote:

My read of Almost50 is not terribly strong, but I am gut townleaning him at the moment based on tone and his interactions with other slots. I will definitely reevaluate of my read of him as the game progresses and he produces more content, but for now he is a light townlean.In post 254, ofrhz wrote:
I was primarily interested in wagoning you because you were obviously present on site yet not producing much readable contentIn post 253, volxen wrote:I find it a bit curious that you want to wagon me, but yet you don't seem to really have any questions for me or want to engage with me (beyond the single question that you asked me in post 200).
Besides, it’s hard to ask you questions when you’ve only made two posts, one of which was responding to me. I would’ve asked you for your reads next, but I see you’ve already supplied those.
Why?Regarding reads, I don't feel there's enough content yet to form strong reads, but so far Almost50 is coming across as somewhat towny
What’s wrong the bolded? Wagons tend to form early to generate pressure, no?Regarding Bambi, as I mentioned before I didn't like the PR speculation, and I'm hard pressed to find a pro-town motivation in talking about it, even in jest.I also found it a bit suspect how she hoped onto Almost50's wagon and brought him up to four votes so early on in the game.
I'm suspicious of Bambi's vote for Almost50 because she admitted herself that she was just going with the flow in voting for him:
Why vote for him and bring him over halfway to lynch if she is not even individually scumreading him? I get that people sheep as town, but I'm always suspicious of "going with the flow" votes.In post 79, Bambietta Basterbine wrote:I like that honesty, my minion. The Majority seem to be going for Almost, so we shall do the same for now. Keep a keen eye for scummy behaviour.

Bambietta is actually a he. he is a Vice Cop though, and he's working undercover, disguised as a female working the streets. He might've gone insane though. The word in the HQ is he is slaughtering some of those unfortunate should, and even attacking his colleagues isn't beyond him. His profile says he's been showing signs of sadism, so don't anybody trust him. Chief of police is calling upon Bambietta's captain to recall him from the streets and have him take a psychology reevaluation test, but I hear the captain is also afraid for his own well being he's reluctant to convey the instructions.
