Here's how i'm viewing the game:
- The force replace and PC's reaction to it is enough for me to believe this slot is town.
- He felt town to me throughout, and his fading townread on me is consistent with a townie losing faith in an underwhelming player which is what I have been more recently; it is across the board and is a RL tell, unfortunately. He was also likely an early scum target.
- Mainly due Spiffeh that he's in the strong town read category, but his own play has been pretty solid too.
- Play surrounding the PC wagon looked town, among other things.
- Felt town early on particularly with what he said about LLD, nothing since made me question the read (certainly not the drop off in activity that catboi suggests is scummy).
- This is more gut than anything, feels genuine, responses to pressure have not struck me as scum.
- So I was scumreading him early on and I think i've flipped on it, not completely attached to this new read but I think he may have towntelled. When I speculated on Vinkah scumslipping his reaction was very town, he thought about it in the same way that I did, and if he was scum it would have been very easy for him to attack me for 'weak reasoning', but that was not the path he took.
- Play doesn't scream town to me, claim is pretty oddball and basically the only reason i'm townreading him..I may or may not be onto something with the 'scumslip', but it's not overwhelmingly convincing, and not something I plan to deathtunnel someone over. Could do with expanding on the claim, which I don't understand the mechanics of and was never really explained in any detail, but i'm not in a rush to make that happen.
- Chamber and UT have failed to make any much of an impression at all on me which is a scumtell in itself; I expect at least one of these two are scum. Mild gut puts Chamber a shade more on the town side.
- As above.
- Initially was townreading, then it faded, and more recently didn't like his reads list where all he really does is call a bunch of people town, and only attacks the two most passive and absent players in the game, looks like scum playing safe and avoiding conflict. Reminds me of a game I played as scum recently.
- Over aggressive start to the game felt very faked, I think an attempt to earn some townreads. Attacked me for my vote on PC at a time when there was literally no reason for anyone other than scum to believe he was town, which i'm pretty sure is a scumtell. Overall not feeling genuine attempts to scumhunt from this slot, and would be my preferred lynch at this point.
