The town has a lot more to discuss that it otherwise would have, sure. Most of that is centred around you, so I'm dubious of how useful it is (especially the reactions to your claims, which requires actually knowing your alignment to be a solid indicator of theirs). I could be entirely wrong, and even if I'm not it did at least make for a more interesting RVS than I've seen since roo played a game.
There is quite a lot of attention centered around myself, but this is mostly in addition to any other activity which would have otherwise been in the thread.
The attention around myself allowed players to read me, at least, if nobody else. I don't agree that you need to know someone's alignment to analyze their interaction with other players but since so many people appear to be supporting me, I should have a strong chance of drawing the hostile night game and flipping from that.
Since I am already aware of my role and alignment, I've been able to hunt in this privileged post-doll-flip space from the start anyhow. If I soak a hostile nightkill and give that information advantage to town, then that's fine too
doll/webadict: You've been siding together, which is odd because I'm not even sure if doll is town. However, webadict says that you pm'd role to each other so I can't assume both of you are scum. I'm also confused about why you would tell each other your roles this early. Why did you think it was safe? Why do you trust each other?
Are you sure that webadict is town?
It's 'safe' because I'm going to be the center of a lot of night activity regardless of webadict's alignment, so there's relatively little damage he can do with the information.
I trust that he's brought a strong town game so far, because I've seen it (and he's been similarly productive in PMs).
I don't trust that he is town, because I don't think that he
would slip if he wasn't so I'm not surprised that he
hasn't.
I felt the reaction I got was telling - he has no interest in playing the game, which is very much not in town's benefit - so left it there.
So you left your vote on a player even though you got a strong reaction which wasn't particularly scummy?
How do you think the town should respond to you and I claiming kook in the short-, medium-, and long-term in this game? Say, D1 + N1, D2-N3, and D4+ respectively.
This doesn't seem to be a very useful question to ask at this point in the game.
What were you hoping to accomplish with this?

What about that resting vote left over from RVS being there 5 hours prior to the day ending?
He's become inactive, which is anti-town rather than inherently suspicious.
He is and already was in my top three picks of scum, these being you (hector13), fillipk and Shakerag.
Questions regarding your reads, too:
You appear to have gone to the effort of going through posts to form reads on people, but only quoted Shakerag. Why is that?
I had originally intended to post three 'cases', one on you, shakerag and fillipk. All of these were going to include quotes, though only fillipk's was to include a vote.
As I was combing through posts, I decided that you and shakerag were merely suspicious rather than good options to pursue right away (I didn't have enough material, because you and shakerag are playing anti-town games right now).
I'll be elaborating on my feeling regarding you and shakerag, though.
A lot of your reads end with you saying "unknown" despite some positive things to say about their game. Tiruin, for example, is playing a "strong and dependable Town (day) game", Deus Asmoth has a "solid town game" yet they still read as unknowns to you. Why is that?
In my usage of that term there, having good town game is the opposite of being anti-town.
Having a strong town game is more an indicator of being a good and productive player than anything else. Being active gives you more chance to slip (and hunting effectively gives others more of a chance to be read), so they're less lynchable than similarly unsuspicious, but less pro-town players.
Tiruin and DA are good players, so they're just playing inline with their meta which is why I don't have strong reads on them.
At this (and that) point I'm inclined to say that DA has a slight town lean while Tiruin has a slight scum lean, but I didn't want to color my reads unnecessarily when my indictments of you and shakerag were so weak.
I'll be adding some hector/shakerag/leafsnail analysis after a bit
Did the list come in any particular order?
Yes, the order in which the player's went
in on the game, other than where I deleted webadict when removing my own name so I added him to the end of the list.
The order doesn't signify anything.
