Mharman
He's largely engaged on the usual level, which is to introduce ideas and get feedback while sort of sitting back and soaking in the responses and behavior of other players. All that makes sense for him, though I'm hesitant to call it indicative of his alignment, especially since he seemed to be sussing Mikal a little bit, only to take a step back on that as well. No clear reads as of yet (not that I'm one to talk, at least before writing these) so it's hard to get a bead on him. Doesn't help that I've recently been fooled by him behaviorally. Null.
Mikal
Frustrating as the early interaction was, the more we got into it, the more it did come off as a reaction test. It's been a long time since I last played against a scum Mikal, so he might do this kind of thing as well, but I do think he'd be more likely to at least try to fish for information wherever he could get it, and it's not like he had absolutely no support in play for pushing for my claim (esp. given Savant's responses to my posts). For now, I've got a slight town lean on him, if only because I think he'd be more opportunistic than this as scum.
Austin and Moozer
No posts as of yet. Pure null.
Earth
There's just not a lot to go on with these small posts. He mentioned posting a set of reads and I'll be interested to see those. The cheeky responses don't really do anything for me, either. I've played as scum with him a couple of times and he does tend to use these there, but they are common to his play in general. The thing that makes me want to townread him most is his statement about just outing his show, though absent any follow-up on that, I'm null on him.
Wylted
Nothing has really stood out as swinging either way from WyIted's posts so far. He's spent a good deal of time on theme analysis which may or may not be genuine (it would look pretty scattershot either way at this point), and putting pressure on various targets. Nothing wrong with any of that, even if it doesn't really do much to advance the DP, and nothing terribly inconsistent with his behavior. Null.
iLikePie5
Pretty much everything from him has been responses so far in an attempt to either clarify his views on certain reads and talk about how well certain tactics play in the game as a whole. I'd like to see a full set of reads from him at some point, but he's probably come up with his perspective on at least a majority of players in this game so far. I'm always hesitant to read Pie too early one way or the other, and that hasn't changed here since the lack of pushing on his part this game is a little off-putting, if not altogether improbable for him as town, especially given the amount of activity this game has been higher and he probably just hasn't felt the need to stimulate more. Null.
Banana
Not a whole lot to go off of for Banana. Pushing the softclaim thing early came off as townie. It's applying what we've done in a lot of previous games here, and though it's a little out of character for Banana to suggest it, the decision to just out her own softclaim first doesn't match what I'd expect if she was scum. Since then, it's mostly been defensiveness of that choice, but it's not the kind of frustration I've seen her display in the past. It's not a lot to go off of, but I'm still slightly townreading her.
Casey_Risk
The kind of candid responses I'm seeing to how several others have played the game so far come off as pretty straightforward for Casey in particular. The interrogation of reads, in particular, makes me want to townread Casey at this point, as does his insight into how players like Earth have played previous games. I wouldn't be surprised if Casey would do this as scum, but for now it's a slight townread.
Savant
He's putting a tremendous amount of effort into his reads and is considering a great deal of posts to do it. I certainly can't call anything he's doing cherry-picking, even if I disagree with some of his perspectives. Savant has clearly upped his read game substantially, and while he could plausibly do all this while being scum, my inclination is to put him in the slight town camp. Issues with his reads tend to crop up and get worse if he's scum, and I'm not seeing that trend.
So... yeah, I wouldn't say I'm clearly scumreading anyone right now. Most of my nullreads are for lower effort participants so far with the exception of Pie, who is null because I'm mainly mistrusting my gutread of his analysis so far. Really hoping Moozer and Austin chime in at some point, but both have been offline since yesterday and are essentially just black boxes.
