Something Smart's reach out to us in his first post struck us as something scum-him wouldn't do after the For Us micro. I liked that he expressed a little paranoia (after the fact) about our response (calling him our page 1 townread). He kept his distance in other ways, too, especially regarding our Ashnard scumread. I have the slightest, tiniest niggles because he bought our role-use so easily. He saw us gambit as a town hydra in the earlier game we played and I feel like the question should have crossed his mind and prompted a little caution. But, on the gripping hand, he's playing very much in-the-moment in this game, and his scum play in For Us was way more pause--wall--pause-wall.
Arcade Pals - we're giving bonus town points here, also, for the reach-outs. I hope we're correct in doing so. The very natural-feeling reaction by Maria to our outing our role and targeting their townread ("I wish you'd talked to me about that!") also gives us townfeels.
2IAM has felt like brash town looking at the surface level of the game from his first post onward. I think the thing that sold this read to us so thoroughly that we bump him up to the top tier is the post where he ragged on Cabd to stop posting in txtspeak. It just didn't feel like something a scum partner of Ashnard would do right after we confscummed him.
Porkens - ffery would probably put him in the next tier up on her own. This is where he is by consensus. The paranoia felt real, and it feels like he's behind on site meta regarding roles, which makes sense given his play-frequency. Pretty sure a scum buddy would have clued him in on a couple things like the impossibility of a lyncher and more recently the nature of masons in non-bastard games, especially a scumbuddy who's claiming masons.
gerryoat is moved up a notch or two simply on the basis of his reaction to the day 1 guilty.
randomidget confuses ffery. She had him as likely scum, but the way he expressed his recalcitrance over just answering Something Smart's questions feels a little more like a town attitude than a scum one to us.
Creature has moved up from our initial gut reads; because Cabd did a bit of meta and finds the things he was scumreading to be null and something to expect from creature as both alignments. Creature generally just needs to step up his contributions to this game; or else he has no business anywhere above the line of lynchability.
Chickadee's contribution isn't terrible but it also isn't unfakeable. And we're not getting the really strong townfeel from her posts that we did in our first game with her (the ubiquitous For Us Micro)
Action Dan's posts feel really scummy to us, from his early push on Chickadee all the way to his reaction to our nailing the Ashnard guilty result.
Ashnard -- confirmed scum.
Updated list
{Something Smart, Arcade Pals, 2IAM}
{Porkens, WhyMafia, randomidget}
{gerryoat, Chickadee, Creature} -- Null Line. We think at least one of these are scum. Maybe two if we're wrong about Action Dan/Drixx
{Action Dan} -- Scumreads here and below.
{MKA}
We're not sure what to do with Drixx. Despite having a giant derptown read based on what he's posted since returning, there's at least a slight possibility he's scum set up to go long if Action Dan is actually town. Right now, we feel like Dan is that guy who was supposed to go long.
I mentioned in an earlier post why we moved WhyMafia up. Randomidget moved up for similar reasons, though there was this one post where he asked us a question and it didn't feel like the sort of question you ask someone you think is scum. Overall, though, I like that he took a strong and counter-to-thread-direction stand on us.
Keeping 2IAM in the first tier is a borderline call to ffery, but neither of us think it looked like he was bussing MKA.
Creature null meta read still stands. Nothing he's done here feels town, but meta says this is how he plays.
We'll revote sometime within the next 6 hours.
