LG - Null on LG. I know she's been busy a lot lately so I'm not gonna try to judge her not being around much. It's just hard to get a decent read on LG until she hits a stride in posting.
Rag - I really liked Rag's reaction test of saying she had reason to believe there was a jester in the game. That looked pretty townie to me. Also, even though I disagree with her not wanting to vote Ex, I don't think her reasoning is bad there. She's looking pretty decent to me right now. Not insanely townie but not scummy either.
Ex - I want to trust that Ex is town. I do keep having small paranoia because I will feel so dumb if he's been lying about all of this for some reason and I've been pushing town to go with the plan. I'd like to think lynching him is always the right play here for reasons stated before, but Rubik has a crazy mind and I keep wondering if there could be a role that will seriously **** us if we lynch them. But that sounds a little much to me, since I could only see it being mafia (since there are no game ending jesters), and if we're punished for lynching mafia then I'm gonna be upset! Anyways, I've talked quite a bit about my thoughts on Ex. I feel like the fact he was so open right away about his role, and the fact he seems dejected by it both look pretty townie.
All Might - Null. All Might is always hard for me to read. Especially when he has strange posts like the ones he's made about master/servants. He says it was just a misunderstanding which is a bit hmmm. Feel like there is something going on there, but I have talked to him a little outside of the thread and I don't feel like he's a priority right now. Definitely someone to keep an eye on though.
funnier6 - I wanna trust that funnier is town, mostly from our outside chat. His general attitude and messages *sound* good. In that he seems genuinely excited to be able to chat with me one on one, instead of scared that I'll catch onto scum him. But I know he knows that I would expect that. We've been back and forth on some reads, but seem to be at a general consensus. It's hard to tell though, when I have information others don't. So I have to try to think of things from the opposite side and see if our reads would align more then. I'd like to see him posting in the thread a bit more though so I can maybe quell some of my paranoia that he's just trying to trick me.
Giri - Pretty solid town read on Giri. He tends to be a bit more 'aggressive' and less go with the flow as scum. Plus he's questioned me about my thoughts on a couple of people in chat, and I feel like he'd be more chatty instead of asking my opinions on things as scum.
Johnny - Was fairly forthcoming about info to me, but also not in a blantant way which I liked. It felt like town with a bit of skepticism, which is understandable. But he also did it of his own accord without trying to talk about all kinds of other stuff first. I also have liked a couple of his posts in thread. Him pointing out Pen was just stating the obvious in regards to All Might felt good even if Pen's post didn't ping me personally. He also had a good response to SMS about his thoughts on Ex being a jester.
Naga - Null. I've never seen Naga as scum so it's hard to read him. Would like to see more. I'm torn on his post about Ex being jester. He said he wouldn't want to give him a d1 win if he is because he'd rather be scum hunting and I've gone back and forth on my read of this. On one hand I could see scum wanting to keep a possible jester around (since they would be unaware if Ex is actually a jester), to cause a distraction during later days. And also because they would rather lynch town today over 3rd party. On the other hand, I am generally also of the opinion that it's better to hunt scum always over 3rd parties. So I could go either way on Naga right now.
Silverfish - Silver is also someone I haven't seen as scum, so it's hard to read him. His initial posts about wanting to lynch me because my role seems a pain kinda pinged me a bit. I know Silver knows my town and scum game, so I could see scum him knowing I'm town and wanting to try to push getting rid of me early using that excuse. Especially seeing as later on, after most people seemed to not have a problem with. me he said he trusted me as far as he could throw me, but that I am a useful tool. Which is opposite of what he originally said. He's given some very basic reads on a few people so I'd like to see more from him on that regard. He does seem a little lost at points which is normal for town Silver, but I don't know if he's also like that as scum.
SMS - SMS is an interesting case. I have felt so much he's done has been scummy. His original skepticism of me (which was fair), but then his double down on not thinking the quotes were from Rubik felt weird to me. Then his comments about wanting to keep potential jester Ex as a vote didn't look great because it didn't make sense. And it aligns with what I said earlier about scum wanting to keep a jester around. And then there was my outside chat with him. In which he immediately started fishing about Ex's role and nothing else. And then doubled down on doing so. However, once I explained why I didn't want to give info on it, and why I thought that if people trusted me I hoped they would trust my judgment here, he did a 180 and dropped asking for info and offered some of his own. So it puts me in a tough spot trying to evaluate him. He did a lot of overtly scummy things, but I also tend to typically read SMS as scum. But his sudden change after I laid things out felt potentially townie to me? He's someone I'll keep a close eye on, but I also don't think I find him as scummy as I did.
Kirino - Has had some good thoughts. I like his first post discussing me, All Might, and SMS. It felt strong and he came with it right out the gate. I agreed with his thoughts in it, particularly about SMS. Also had a post about even if we do agree to lynch Ex that we should be using this time to scumhunt, which is a good look. I could see scum Kirino using Ex more as a focus for potential distraction. I also feel decent about our outside chat. He told me something I'm unsure that he would have as scum. But I also could maybe see scum Kirino doing it to gain my trust. But for now I'm willing to trust him because I like his view on the game and I'm not seeing conniving scum Kirino.
Doc - I haven't seen town Doc yet. Neither in here or our chat, which makes me nervous. I usually expect one nice analytical post of his to townread him from, because he usually has good takes as town. He's talked to me a bit in chat, but I would expect him to act more confident in his possible reads than he did when it was just one on one. I kinda felt like he was worried to give me too much info.
Pen - I know Pen got a bit of flack for one of his intial posts, but it seemed more town Pen than scum Pen to me. He has had such a cheery, almost whimsical feeling attitude thus far which is different than the more serious, analytical attitude I expect from scum Pen. There's also the fact he was extremely forthcoming about his role to me, and seemed very happy to do so. Definitely feel like scum Pen would be more hesitant and cautious.
A quick recap of my thoughts in a more cohesive manner.
Feel decent about the group of:
Pen
Giri
Funnier
Ex
Kirino
Johnny
And to a lesser extent:
Rag
SMS
All Might
Which leaves:
LG
Silver
Naga
Doc
I know I'm putting trust into quite a bit of people right now, so I'm aware I could easily be wrong about a few of them. But I feel okay about having things narrowed down to this PoE right now.
I'm also aware some of the reads involve trust because it uses information from private chats, but I've tried to explain what I can about the chats that have influenced me and I've also been considering in thread posts in my evaluations of people as well.
