As the Official Reads List Nazi, the following players have not to my understanding done a reads list, and are required to do so:
VermilionSkies
Crystalizedmire

I'm giving Maximum Spin and Egan_BW a pass. Max because of stuff (plus he usually doesn't listen to me on this anyways) and Egan_BW is excused on account of being dead (and also usually doesn't listen to me on this).

To humiliate the above players further, I will note that even Fallacy has made an attempt at a reads list. Even Fallacy!

guh

Egan/Hector: Neither of these two seem to matter too much, considering the fact that they're dead. Hector has been more helpful than Egan, but neither of them seem excessively scummy to me.

Tric: Weirdly coherent this game? Most of their discussion has been terminally derailed by the fact that they got into a ??private chat gambling session?? N0, and also the fact that they're going to die tomorrow. It doesn't matter too much, due to previously stated 'dying tomorrow', but they don't seem too much like scum.

Max: I would say that they seemed scummy without the context they've given. As of right now, there's not enough for a good read. o7

EP: Got caught up in plague discussion for a very long time, and their read list is pretty vague, but it's D1, and talking about the death plague is hardly scummy. Neutral.

Imp: Tric stole their ability to make normal posts early on in the day, but it's gotten better since. Kind of weird that they read CM as town, considering that they got poked and then vanished into the aether never to be seen again. Appreciate the data collation, but not the lack of clear explanation on what happened N0. Neutral.

CM: Where are you? Where did you go? Do you need assistance? Rescue? Scumlean.

Toony: Hasn't spoken in a bit, but their discussion posts aren't overly focused, provide useful insights, and are generally well-made. Heavy townlean.

FOU: Has posted a lot but said very little, and less without being prompted. Slight scumlean.

EJ: Asked a few questions, showed off a role mechanic, and tossed around a haunted page. Still more new, concrete information than we've gotten from some people. Slight townlean.

Jim: Seems like Toony, but somewhat less helpful. Still, townlean.

Also, I will say that I'm not involved with the playing cards. I do have one, though, if anybody has a reason to want it.

For reference the chat started on D1.

Crystalizedmire please get out here and participate? The only ones who can lurk are ghosts, and only Egan is sorta doing that. Feel like they're chilling, but haven't got anything from you in days.

I figure since CrystalizedMire, EuchreJack, VermillionSkies, and Elephant Parade are all in that middle mushy-null read zone, then I ought to give each of them at least a cursory look, see if anything stands out.

Hmm.

Elephant Parade has made multiple humorous references to private chats. If I were to be a conspiracy theorist, I could say he's hinting at being the source of the weird chat TricMagic/Imp had.

He's spent a bit of time hypothesizing about the infection, though he specifically refers to it as a plague. The ghosts, as well. I wonder why he's fixated on that.

Has produced a readlist, likes Toony despite an earlier probing question and scum reads CM.

Town lean for now. Vibe check says it's specifically that he's pushing the game forwards.

VermillionSkies asks whether Imp has a chat this game in their very first post - possibly a coincidence.

Aside from that, there's one post about Slenderman and... an item claim? And nothing else?

Heavy lurking. Null due to lack of content.

Ninja'd: Verm's reads list. Hmmm.

See, that's good content. More like that, please. It's better than Jack's list by a mile, based on actually reasoning out the reads. Town lean, now.

VermillionSkies - do you agree with ToonyMan's current vote and scum suspicions?

EuchreJack took a bit to post, but is very forthcoming with information, and doesn't attempt to hide his vote buff. Toony's snap "Probably Town" read on him is a little strange, but I've already mentioned that.

Hasn't particularly attempted to hunt scum - that's always the big thing, heh.

You can't hide behind mechanical analysis forever. At some point, you have to vote someone and try to get them killed.

Reads list is... not particularly impressive or justified.

Null due to being forthcoming with information but not focused on finding scum.



I'll do CM's read later, I need to get prepped to go to work now.

Tric - Thank you for the clarification. Not that it, y'know, actually clarifies whatever went on in that chatroom.

FoU - Not really. It looks like they started with a meme suspicion on you, and then worked backwards to justify that after the fact... which is odd? It either implies external knowledge, external motivation, or sloppy play, which doesn't make much sense with the rest of their posting.
Also, don't worry about CM's analysis taking too long.
Me poking Imp about a private chat was about their Warehouse 13 role in BYOM.

Like I said, I'll do my best to participate. I don't think I need a replacement.

There are a few people I'm not so sure about yet and a few I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but for right now, I think CrystalizedMire needs to show up or be lynched for inactivity.

To whom it may concern, I was going to discuss a bit with you here.  Seems unneeded now.  Maybe give a bit more time unless you're sure you know what you're doing and what I am doing, and what I can do.

Or not.
What were you going to discuss about?
Crystalizedmire: When you asked this question, did you expect it to be answered?
I expected a partial answer, yes.
Why?
I expected a partial answer because I thought that whatever Imp was going to talk about was somewhat relevant for discussion.

CrystalizedMire, you asked about why lost page to Tric (Tric yes I confirm name).  It may help the situation he is in, though obviously, since you have a page to see, it won't save his life.
Oh okay, I trust Euchrejack more now.

Ah, is CM asleep? Looking through the posts, they haven't said too much recently.

CM, who do you think is suspicious currently?
For reference the chat started on D1.

Crystalizedmire please get out here and participate? The only ones who can lurk are ghosts, and only Egan is sorta doing that. Feel like they're chilling, but haven't got anything from you in days.

Alright, here's my readslist:
Imp - Town - She plays to the town wincon so I trust her.
Euchrejack - lean town - Claims and item that they think will help Tricmagic(who has claimed to have an ability that helps town).
Fallacy of Urist - lean town - Tries to be helpful towards town by sharing information at the start of the game and starting make reads on other players.
Elephant Parade - nullish town - Seems helpful
Tricmagic - nullish town - Does seem to want to help town. Does seem more cautious to the Tricmagic I'm used to.
Toonyman - Townish null - like Elephant parade, seems helpful. But I feel more null about them because I haven't been paying much attention to their posts.
Maximum spin - null - seems like how he usually plays
Vermillionskies - scumish null - If you think that someone is asleep, what do you think a pressure vote will do? You've also not been posting much so I can't get a good read on you.
Ghosts: Both ghosts seem townish. I'm more inclined to think that if either one is antitown then it is Egan not Hector. Hector is playing towards town's wincon by pressing players he thinks are suspicoous.

I'll try to catch up to the posts I missed.

CM - The question was rhetorical. I saw that you had been online sporadically, and hadn't made any new posts for a while. The pressure vote is to encourage posts like that one.

FoU - Also, you're right, it is a good question, I'm probably going to steal it later.

Egan - real

Making a reads list would contribute towards my town wincon, but I've basically never experienced a good read spontaneously on day 1, and it would be work

I'm at work I can't post too much until later...

reads
I like Elephant's reads list. I think suspecting Jim has merit, but I don't feel that strongly enough to vote over it.

FoU - Not really. It looks like they started with a meme suspicion on you, and then worked backwards to justify that after the fact... which is odd? It either implies external knowledge, external motivation, or sloppy play, which doesn't make much sense with the rest of their posting.
My FoU vote is dead serious. There is a statistically very high chance that FoU is mafia here, besides being mafia in the previous CYOS (which I backed off of on D1 thanks in part to their scum buddy Max persuading me) Fallacy is usually mafia. Nothing they have said so far has swayed me otherwise either.

Given the choice between Vermilion and Crystal I would rather vote Vermilion because Elephant has Crystal lower. I can't say I have a great read of either player though. Are they better than a FoU vote? I don't think so.

Yeah, my money is on FoU. Maybe Elephant or Vermilion okay vote too. I like Tric and Imp the most still. Jack and Jim not as sure. I'm pretty sure about Egan, but they're ghost anyway. Hector is more suspicious, but ghost anyway.



Alright, here's my readslist:
Imp - Town - She plays to the town wincon so I trust her.
Euchrejack - lean town - Claims and item that they think will help Tricmagic(who has claimed to have an ability that helps town).
Fallacy of Urist - lean town - Tries to be helpful towards town by sharing information at the start of the game and starting make reads on other players.
Elephant Parade - nullish town - Seems helpful
Tricmagic - nullish town - Does seem to want to help town. Does seem more cautious to the Tricmagic I'm used to.
Toonyman - Townish null - like Elephant parade, seems helpful. But I feel more null about them because I haven't been paying much attention to their posts.
Maximum spin - null - seems like how he usually plays
Vermillionskies - scumish null - If you think that someone is asleep, what do you think a pressure vote will do? You've also not been posting much so I can't get a good read on you.
Ghosts: Both ghosts seem townish. I'm more inclined to think that if either one is antitown then it is Egan not Hector. Hector is playing towards town's wincon by pressing players he thinks are suspicoous.

What about Jim??? Is mafia actually Crystal and Jim?? :OOOOOOOOO

Elephant Parade might be on to something.

Old Jack vs New Jack. Too different to actually call it a meta-read.

... Fallacy, still got a feeling you aren't conductive... Not sure how to put it, but the rando item trade on top of the chat I was in makes me feel that you're looking to get a power boost for your own purposes. Given that a third person could come into chat and steal both our wagers, especially if we hadn't made any so you get abilities instead? I feel like you want to steal something from Imp too as the 'winner' of the game. Suppose the main question is why, how, and who.

... Given you graciously posted a readlist, wouldn't be too surprised if it's among the ones you listed as scum together. Or could be among the list of three you made since easy enough to just focus on the other two. Assuming it's a 2 person scumteam with the infection around, and not 3 with the infector being among the scumteam?


As a question how would you read CM when they haven't really posted anything Fal? Granted, 12 posts from you today but it's a slow game. Who are your pick for today?
