Lar has bad reads imo but I think that makes him look more towny in my eyes?

Proph's read list seemed good to me and the content he's had while he's been around looks good. Mostly a tone thing for this read

AA seems pretty good at least for today. He's been asking a lot of questions from multiple different players and he seems like the town AA I'd expect

I liked thesunfan's reads list as well, but I found the style he posted them in to be a bit odd, since I haven't seen him write many "essays" like that recently. However I liked the content of his posts

Right now I'm leaning toward Shado, and not just because he is pushing me. It's because he is making a push way too early, way too aggressively and with much too flimsy reasoning. Yes I responded in an emotional manner but he just kept pushing, and pushing, rather than listening to me it seems. I think town players genuinely want to read people's responses and it didn't really seem like Shadow has been doing that, not only with me either.

I'm not sure how I feel about Xel. I suck at reading Xel but I haven't had any distinctly townie vibes from him. He seems like he is interacting a bit, but not a lot, and most of the things he's said haven't displayed much "original" thought

Jade is beginning to bum me out by not showing up, but I can't hold that against her quite yet. I think it's possible there are "UTR/inactive" wolves but I also think we need to give them a bit more time to accurately judge their activity levels

And oh Lar I'm playing this game, I didn't mean I'm going to stop playing. I meant I'm not going to interact with you because you aren't a nice person and this is supposed to be a fun game

I seem to always be playing with AA when he is town, so it's easy for me to think "He's just like the last game we played!" which is obviously going to be one where he rolled town.

I guess right now it comes down to I haven't seen anything that is wolfy but I have connected the tone and style to how he plays when he is town. I also think he's an experienced enough player to fake his play style while he is a wolf though, so it's hard.

I agree! so let's talk about them

Shadow being wolfy (upgraded from SHADY to WOLFY imo) which has had many good points from multiple players already stated

AA is defending me, but not just for the sake of defending me, he's doing it to call out Shadow's poor reasoning. I like that because he's not taking an easy vote on a human. And he seems to be calling Shadow out every chance he gets, so I don't see that as a very likely W/W combo

Lar IDFK he seems to have some sort of problem with me so I'm not sure if that is alignment indicative.

I brought up that your entrance was weird too. I think it might have to do with your roleplay character and the short, choppy sentences? That sort of style could be easily faked as a wolf. It could also be the fact that you just showed up and made a few short posts and then left, but I think that makes sense given the timing

Alright. I guess it's just not a very satisfactory explanation. It seems that you keep referencing posts you've already made, rather than expanding your thoughts when asked about them. This is suspicious to me

what are your thoughts on me calling you out right now?

Are there any people in your "null" pile that you could try to form a more solid read?

Things like that. You don't need to wait to be asked, you can come up with these sorts of "questions" to yourself and answer them in a post.

I'm drawing a huge blank on roundbox. I know he was busy so I'm not finding his absence suspicious, but we haven't really crossed paths in the thread so it's hard for me to get a read on him. I don't like these ????s in my mind

Lar is trending from null to town to me. His posts from last night seem well thought out and give reasoning on every player in his reads list. Also his questions to people seemed like they came from a natural read of the thread

I think I realized what was bugging me about Witch's explanation of her town read on Backpack. Her main piece of evidence was one interaction which occurred a few hours after the game started. Although she did post a few quotes he made after that, she didn't say why she liked them, so it didn't seem like she was putting as much thought into the new information. Mainly basing a read off an hours-old interaction just seems weird to me.

The fact that she seemed hesitant to expand on her thoughts about this increase my suspicion here

I don't have a clear choice for who I want to lynch today

Witch still seems very suspicious to me because of her lack of willingness to be open about her thoughts. It seems like she only wants to share ideas when they are concretely formed, but that's not going to happen very often. It seems like an overly cautious mindset

Proph is kind of reminding me of when I do play UTR as a wolf (not trying to open that can of worms again just noting this). Dunno if this is enough to vote off of though

Witch is also sketchy for similar reasons. It feels like she does not want to post much substantial information which seems more likely to be a wolf trait

Sunfan is weird too, I can't quite place why, I wouldn't lynch him today tho

mellon consistently gives reads (both town and scum), updates, pushes witch, pushes sunfan for defending witch

sure doesn't fit the pattern outlined with "Just disappear, defend, reactionmeme, disappear, defend, reactionmeme, repeat"

not even close lmfao
