Two scum teams seems unlikely, especially for the reasoning you've stated Juls. Assumption of two scum teams would mean that there's a vig in the setup causing Pines death meaning there would be three killing roles a night with the possibilty of it being four if the bookie bookies correctly which is something I believe Slaxx would have avoided when creating this setup.
I do however agree that he likely bookied Parabollocks if he bookied therefore I don't believe Parabollocks is the best lynch for today even though he's my strongest scum-read. No, I'm not claiming vig, just stating that I did a massive detailed re-read of the thread during the night with a great deal of my reads changing in strength upon doing so. In the process of compiling them, I'll post what I have at the current moment though.
Town Reads (Strongest to Weakest):
Nintendo11, Gaoth, Juls, ToD, Gorilla, CES, Groundsel, CSL, DemonHybrid, Nikandor.
Null Reads:
CMAR, Diddin.
Scum Reads (Strongest to Weakest):
Parabollocks, Seraphim, AntB, Powerrox93.
1. Nintendo, as stated in my previous reads list screams of noob town furthermore Pines actions towards him and his actions towards Pine throughout the entire of day one make it highly unlikely for them to be partners solidifying my town read of Nintendo. I swear to god if a single person attempts to suggest a lynch on him, I will find them and...
2. Gaoth, this read is highly dependant on meta, his actions and motivations behind his posts read as highly similar to 00's Band mafia furthermore his reads list although I disagree with part of it reads as geninue scumhunting.
3. Juls, although she was intially one of my scum reads her reaction, frustration and rage shown at the end of day one along with her suggestion to claim all read as strong town-tells and at this point I'd be quite shocked if she were scum.
4. ToD, prior to the Pine scum flip he was actually one of my weaker scum reads however Pines attitude and reaction the fake daykill on ToD makes it highly unlikely for him to be scum. The amount htat Pine defended the shot on ToD was extreme and an amount a scum partner wouldn't stick out their neck for a partner they seemed dead already.
5. Gorilla, his power role claim and retraction looking back at it reads as a decent town-tell, I don't believe he would be so balsy to attempt to draw attention towards himself in a situation like that.
6. CES, he's a man of few words though his motivations and reads are something that I agree with to a strong extent and his want and desire to have vig shots at the end of day one reads as geninue town especially with the EPM town flip occuring, with that said I need to read into who pushed that lynch strongly because there's scum involved without a doubt.
7. Groundsel, as stated earlier he shows a geninue attempt at scumhunting and providing his thoughts, his alt incident reads as mostly a null tell though I do agree tha this reaction towards the pressure placed was slightly odd thus the decrease in strength of this read.
8. DemonHybrid, this weak is relatively weak in comparison to my other town reads however I believe his actions at the start of the game were all town motivated though I NEED to hear more from him asap.
9. Nikandor, this is a read I've been contemplating quite a bit recently, I'm hesitant in placing him in my town read section however it's where I would place him if forced to take a stance. A great deal of his actions read as geninue though I can't help but feel somethings wrong.
10. CMAR, need more content badly.
11. Diddin, need more content badly.
12. Parabollocks, this read hasn't changed if anything it's just increased in strength, the hammer was survivalistic which I can understand to be a null tell however his continous refrainment from stating reads on everyone reads as a complete difference from his town game in 00's mafia.
13. Seraphim, I'll go into this more later because this read I'm attempting to work out what continues to make me believe it, I constantly go back to his reaction towards Nintendos attack and his push on Nintendo looking awful but there's something more than that which is bugging me about him.
14. AntB, I asked about peoples thoughts on him day one and have read through his posts multiple times since, his lack of any real scumhunting (Just jumping from place to place) screams as scum though I do need to read some of his past games to see if that's just his normal play or not.
15. Powerrox, this is diffcult because I've seen townPowerrox and scumPowerrox play in the past and found both to be quite scummy though the motivations behind his actions in this game don't read as geninue at all.
Vote: Seraphim
