Alright so I was rereading through things and decided to make notes on anything that stuck out. This isn't something I normally do. In my skim through I just had a list of people and moved them as my gut told me to. Here, I've focused on specific posts that I felt could use an explanation. I only made it 4 pages in close to 2 hours. I don't think I'll continue like this but I figured I'd throw this out there anyway since I spent the time on it. I grouped posts by people rather than by order they happened, which is probably much more useful for me than anyone else who might read this.
Some symbols I used:
^ for pushing me towards town read, ... for pushing me towards scum read, nothing extra for null but still significant enough to talk about it (I didn't write about nulls that I didn't feel were significant, for the most part)
After 4 pages I had no super strong town or scum reads. Just some leans and nulls. I'll continue on here but I'm going to shift back to my regular method of just moving people as I get reads on them. Hopefully I can catch up completely tomorrow because I play best when I can have active conversations.
Though I do often order my reads list, these are not ordered. I just kept updating people and moving them to the right sections.

32 feels like a townie suspicion, one that's not super obvious but also makes me go "huh yeah maybe, not sure I agree but I can see that"
- ^
53 this response to BS2000's town read of furtive is probably exactly what I was thinking during the initial skim because it's exactly what I'm thinking during the reread, which helps me understand where my intitial BS2000 scum read started coming from.
- ^
55 yup agree if that's what fancy meant
-
58 probably a good read, could be TMI, could just be a good read, so NAI for me
- ^
59 feels easier to say as town so >randtown
- ...
80 this is a weird one for Meg because I don't see why they'd say they didn't like someone's entry if they didn't mean that it was alignment indicative.

33 response to Meg's 32 in an openly townie sort of way
-
37 no thoughts on furtive's move here, I dunno if this is townie or scummy so just NAI for me
-
68 yeah exactly what I was thinking here.

34 votes Juice with a reasonable vote, cause Juice isn't interacting which is scummy, and pushing him to be more active is pro-town. Rest of the post is NAI cause an experienced player is supposed to make the newbies fun regardless of if they're town or scum, so really it'll be whether they follow through with it or not.
-
35 agrees with my thoughts on 31/32 so we're thinking the same sort of thing
- ^
40 pushing furtive for more info was good but not hard to do as scum, the "no reason to distrust me" I think is >randtown
- ^
48 reads as townie to me (tone)
-
70 agree with first point about esires. "fastest townread not warranted" part is prob nai for an experienced player. Kinda scummy to throw out there the idea that they'll town read people if those people town read peta but probably nai also.
- ^
82 agree and it feels like a townie perspective
-
83 and
84 good questions but also easy from scum so nai
- ^
88 feels like a mix of honesty (nai) and more importantly, pointing out that he doesn't necessarily feel like anyone's reads are coming from an informed pov, which is a townie thing to think about in response to BS2000's pressure.
-
89 93 97 99 all feel fine and nai vs BBT
-
96 i agree mostly and don't hate his list here. Maybe we just read town in a similar way.

92 95 98 Standard BBT entrance is nai

78 agree with this post so feels town
- ...
91 ehh has Meg really displayed a high level of activity and scumhunting by post 91? I just looked back through to see if that makes any sense at all and as far as scumhunting, we've got
63 and that's about it. Everything else is nai banter or giving reads or explaining reads. Nope if Meg is town it's not because they're scum hunting at this stage. I didn't catch this one first time through. Follow up to furtive is really weak.

54 this is weird from Fancy and I need him to clarify some things (asked question in
251).

57 yeah could be thin, depending on what fancy was actually thinking

51 this post is definitely where I started questioning the slot on my first read. On second read a few things jump out. 1. Shading Meg which I was town reading, but on reread Meg's really only said 1 thing of importance so far so maybe not a bad shade. 2. The fumbling of "I thought it was E-1 but it's E-2!" feels staged but could just be sincere. 3. Furtive being a strong town read feels super weird at this stage and I don't get the confidence here. Peta town read sort of feels like a way to buddy with them. See my point under Meg's 53 post for more info.

66 I know people end up having problems with the "Lol a Newbie game with no true newbs in it now.", but I just don't. It's just truth at this point and nai. I kinda have problems with the "need to see more from Juice/Bulba/BBT. There's scum somewhere in there." part. I just get scum vibes when people say that, even if the Bulba and BBT slots end up reading scum to me. It's page 3 at this point and they've narrowed it down to 3 which feels scummy to me. Furtive's 68 post I think agrees.
- ...
87 another post where I just get scum vibes. The "maaaaan this feels performative" part feels, lol, performative to me. Could easily be newbie reaching or scum trying to look sincere. The part about Meg being loose and specifying that BS2000 is ok with Meg correcting people's language, also feels fake.

72 (Bulba) probably sincere but nai because scum!Bulba knows this fact about town!Bulba
-
73 (Bulba) furtive's just null at this point IMO so I find the scum leaning read on him weird. Reasonable to need to see more from Juice slot.
- ...
76 (Bulba) I don't believe this coming from him. Also, esires wasn't offering themself up to be flipped, they were just ok with being the first wagon, which isn't necessarily a flip. Reasoning here feels fabricated.
- ^
79 and
81 (Bulba) are reasonable.
-
85 (Bulba) misread on furtive's style i think
Please let me know if there are any follow ups or clarifications you wish for me to make.
