Explanations:
Yoho:
Early game when I was getting a lot of heat on me from Flower and Ekko, he stepped in agreeing with my plan of everyone abstaining. I can't see scum Yoho doing this tbh. It just puts unnecessary heat on himself too because at the moment, I had no support at all. That being said, I think his later posts were also fine. He said he wanted to be kingmaker and he proposed his own plan which shows a level of willingness to solve that I believe comes from town him.
MangoSenpai:
Not really sure why he is being so scum read tbh. Not exactly sure how to explain my train of thought here, but in the Overlord game, he tried his best to push certain angles while trying to be somewhat amicable towards all the players. I think he is more combative here and takes on a very different tone. I see Flower is saying all he is doing is parroting Ratchet, but he is so blatant about it, that I don't think it ever comes from scum.
Hayumi:
I think that he has been rather solvy in his own way. I don't always agree with all of his positions but I feel like his thought process on certain topics (such as the kingmaker plan or the Flower/Ekko vs. me situation) has been relatively easy to follow. Also personally, I feel like it might be easier as scum to take a side in the whole Flower vs. Ratchet debacle (regardless of whether or not one of Flower or Ratchet is scum as well) because both are strong voices and you can work together in the thread to drive positions together. Maybe I'm not explaining this right but XD.
Crowned Witch:
Similar to Hayumi, I think she has been solving in her own way. I liked her posts earlier in the game when we were talking about the plans because she seemed to actually care about the pros and cons for each thing and took her own approach in assessing everything. I understand that scum can do that as well, but it felt more genuine. I also feel as though she has been different from the last game I played with her where she was scum.
Ratchet:
This is pretty simple, kingmaker plan doesn't come from scum. I can't see how any scum would want this. Scum can't bus because they would be screwed for being alive in the later stages. They can't choose a townie because they would be lynched next day. They can't even powerwolf because they would be more likely to be chosen as kingmaker. I guess it's not flawless in the case we pick townies who end up having bad reads, but it drastically changes the way scum would have to play the game. Aside from his plan though, I feel like he has largely been a voice of reason in the thread and it's easy to follow his thought process.
Stargate18:
I think he has been fine for the most part. Last game, I played with him, I noticed that he doesn't always follow the grain as town (though tbf I've never seen him as scum), and he seems the same in this one. I think his thoughts and concerns about Flower's plans earlier in the game came off very genuine. He's fallen off a bit though so this read has weakened.
Alwaysmind:
Honestly, this is mostly vibes, not a whole ton to say here.
York:
Also similar in that this is mainly vibes. However, there was one interaction between her and Ekko that I felt she came off looking pretty good.
Ali v2:
Not sure. He went into the thread pushing Ekko hard, but he's largely disappeared after that. Would like to see more thoughts from him in general since I don't have much of a read on him atm.
Daniel:
Need to see more.
Yo Tan Wa:
Similar to Ali, except he wasn't really pushing Ekko. He's largely disappeared since.
Michelle:
This is going to sound bad, but I genuinely can't remember her posts minus the ones where she was saying Daniel wasn't a new player and Flower was saying he was. Her posts might've been in those I skipped/skimmed over.
Random Asshole:
Same as Michelle in that I genuinely don't remember anything from him.
The Orca:
Need to see more.
Polar Bear:
Need to see more.
Red Night:
Need to see more.
Fujishiro:
I can't read him and I'm always scared to XD. I know he says he plays however he wants as either alignment but I can't help but feel as though town Fuji would have made more of an effort to lead town at this point or provide some sort of reads list for everyone instead of just trolling about.
Alexis2282AE:
This read is probably somewhat influenced by my other reads. I don't think he's using AI this game which I appreciate, but something still feels a bit off. Felt like a scummate told him to enter the thread and "do something like sus Ratchet", and he just simply followed it.
Flower:
I think after she threw out her initial plan, and replaced it with her one person plan, I saw her in a better light. But since then, I find her posts terrible and I'm unable to follow her line of thinking for many of them. She says she finds me "regrettably town" because Ratchet wouldn't defend me if we were both scum which I don't understand at all? She also made some posts about how I've realized that my posts against her initial plan were terrible and that I've basically come to my senses now after realizing the faction kill information and why I would have been scum read by her and Ekko, but I don't understand that either. I still don't see any real issue with abstaining if everyone were to do it. It would draw out the game considerably, but it's not like it has major consequences. She says she has issues with no kills coming from town but then also takes issue with the kingmaker plan saying that gives scum more kills. I don't know, there is a lot more things but I'm honestly too lazy to type everything out. It just feels like contradiction after contradiction and I can't follow. I think there is definitely a world where she can still be town, but meh.
EkkoLoJinx:
I feel like his push on me has been rather slimy. Think it's definitely run it's course but he is too pressed for content that he doesn't really have much to offer elsewhere. I still don't understand why he pushed me so hard in the first place for not wanting to speedrun the game and preferring the abstaining direction, because the only real explanation he's been giving is that I went against an obviously pro-town plan. He's also been offering up the idea of having a council of kingmakers which in my opinion, just completely defeats the purpose of the kingmaker plan in the first place. If the council is wrong, who do we lynch next day? It just feels like a scum proposition so that they can drive miskills more easily. He's also largely fallen off. Only point in his favor that I could see is that he's not even trying to do anything townie which is lol.
