My most confident SR at the moment, and I think if you reread his posts of today you'd deduce there are exactly 4 scums (i.e. we have TWO all-town hoods).
I was lowkey considering there might be 5 with nerfed powers, but if that was the case then Scum already know ALL the hoods from the start. Now it's 4 (or maybe 3 with real power to them).
Note: Nobody tell me the scum team can't be of only 3 in a game this size. FG's Detective Penguin was a 17-players game with a 3-members Scum team

this is why kuribo is Town, btw. I do not exactly agree with many of his stances, but they seem to come from a townie-mindser never-the-less. This one I do agree with.

i'd have been really really surprised if I'd been NK'd
Mate, if I was Scum that's all the more reason to off you before you get rolling. It would be a low-info kill that cannot be traced to anyone in particular, and it takes out one of the "Old Guards" and their team.
I want to sit on this for a bit, but essentially I think it’s a case of there being a lot of town that are actually showing themselves as town, but I don’t actually have anything from Ankamius that makes me think she must be town.
Also, I townread Davesaz. I will explain why when I have more time.
Ankamius - has felt like town but it's mostly gut and I'm susceptible to "agreement bias"
Dr Easy Bake - insufficient data, null. Though I wonder if that really ought to be scum, as he's really bubbly when town though also tends to be quite aimless
Flavor Leaf - feels town compared to both the recent game we were both scum, and the one he slid by under the radar in as Rick Dalton. But I'm never sure and there have been some things that seemed a little scummy.
davesaz - I'm town
chennisden - Town, as I stated in the thread yesterday and in my hood
Vex Vience - People talk like there is enough here for a read, but I'd need to review it to be able to remember any of it.
Volxen - Ditto, 2nd V in this game that I don't remember enough about
MariaR - Push felt much lazier than Chenn. Weak scum based on that along with a vague similarity in tone to other scum games. TBH I think I always read her as scum though so...
Gammagooey - Feels genuine, weak TR
DeasVail - Someone I wish I had a better meta feel for. I'm not sure I trust those reads, and I wonder if being passive is a scumtell
kuribo - Feels genuine, I have no meta awareness that I can remember, weaker TR than Gammagooey
GuyInFreezer - I sorta misunderstood the original hood-related posting, thinking the commuter was an action the hood gets to keep. Gonna have to punt on this one, I just don't know
Volpe14 - I thought the reaction to being wagoned seemed townish unless he's very experienced.
EspressoPatronum - Somewhat correct, but correct doesn't necessarily mean town. Have to say pretty null, but town side of that
Almost50 - Feels extremely town compared to the recent game we were both scum in. In that game I didn't have to know he was scum, it was self-evident from the posting. However this is in his scumrange so keepign my eye on him.
nomnomnom - I don't have a large meta record here. The what she's trying to do seems clear most of the time, but the why not so much. Weak scum tainted by disagreement bias?

I've had one nomination for a scum game where I played everyone like a fiddle so if you're going to read me as scum it's certainly not because I have a weak scumgame friend.
Skitter and Ank have come to fear my scum game as well.
What I realized is that people deflected really quickly from the proposition to lynch in the commuter hood and pointed fingers everywhere else. Interesting.

also ignore this post I dont know why I somehow managed to misread your post
and it's not weird at all that people came in suggesting to lynch within that neighborhood immediately and to create lists of what order people would be willing to lynch each slot?
In post 2245, Ankamius wrote:why exactly is it optimal to lynch within the commuter hood again?
When I thought the commute was for themselves, I thought it was more useful to scum to duck an invest than it would be to town to duck a NK.
Not sure if others were following along with that or if they had their own reasons.

No, I think the only weird part is that this was suggested today, as opposed to yesterday. This plan could have perfectly been proposed yesterday but this was only suggested at start of day, so this could signify that scums want to push this now and coordinate this, for one reason or another.
