If everyone will do a constructive exercise to share a reads list that would be awesome
updating the last one:
Village leans so far:
Michelle; I liked the early village leans as strong village will often look to find other village first and she was the first to do so.
Chevy(not so much for his questioning of me, but I like this exchange with charlie and the fact he's calling out someone that gave him a village lean because really scum have no incentive to do that).
Fuji has vibed town to me too.
Ratchet; had a similar reaction to chevy's questioning of me as I did and I like when people mindmeld!
Above reads are still pretty much consistent. I'd say Michelle belongs in a strong town core.
Ultra; I like his aggression, questioning, and his overall thoughts on arp as well as making sure people he's familiar with don't get away with any cheap explanations(i.e. going after lord meakor for saying something as vague as "these interactions are often T/T" and wanting more so it's not just him saying something to say something aka fake reasoning). I'm not sure how his wolf range otherwise I'd want to give him a strong village read honestly for his opening.
Lord Meakor; I liked his RESPONSE to said suspicion. rather than get spooked and backpedal he pretty much held his ground. i also do overall agree that to two are likely to have a back and forth early in game mostly nitpacking at each other wheras scum often latches onto a particular thing to nitpack and attempts to make that person look bad to everyone else(rather than just having a direct/extended one on one confrontation). obviously this means nothing towards me, but knowing I'm village it makes adds to chevy being village.
I can't recall who said I looked null after interacting with my suspicion on Ekko(not Mr. Ripped, after him), I think it was a she. I liked her too.
Kweh has also looked really town to me. His thoughts mostly line up with my own and I liked his prodding of ultra.
Ekko looks a bit better after coming back, but he's mostly been done catch up posts so far. I do look forward to seeing him interact when he's fully caught up and posting in real time. I don't really agree with the chevy wagon or vote nor do I look how he was shading arp just before voting chevy, but it is what it is.
I think ARP is still a good scum vote. I don't know much about Kagu but I wouldn't oppose her direction either as she didn't really make a notable impact on the day, but that's mostly a vibe.
Oh ya, I don't really like how Ripped has mostly talked about what not to do. Even after the initial setup vs. gameplay stuff from the beginning, he then went at me for my vote on Ekko and told me to "wait until he's back", etc. Ekko could have defended himself from said pressure rather than have had Ripped make those points. As Ripped likes to say it is really WEAK posting.
