I should note, I don't plan in playing like this for the entire game. I'm mostly just trying to get back into a mafia mindset and making sure I haven't completely forgotten how to scum hunt before I start ramming wagons down your throats. I think I'm on the right track. I want to verify that before I start trying to take any sort of command of the game state. Or at least that was the original intention. Now I'm just time-strapped and other than skimming recent pages I'm just doing ISO dives when I have time. (I should get less busy soon but we'll see.)
In post 2192, Servant Lancer wrote:The claim that Caster should be obvtown from their play from the beginning doesn't ring true with how they've talked about their own play as one lacking in followthrough and being very gut-based. A player who thinks rhey should be being townread would probably not also be that self deprecating about their style? And that's not the word I want to use, but I can't think of a better one right now.

Now we get to wait for Cabd to realise there's a hammer. FWIW, I do kind of hope I'm very wrong about my current Shielder read, since that would somewhat alleviate the process of pulling my head out of my ass.
Can anyone tell me why Lancer is town-reading Shielder? Because I see references to awkward behaviour and not seeing scummy behaviour, but I do not see where he explains how that developed into a town read over, say, a null read.

Grail-kun was getting sleepy. Maybe it was the choice to switch from popcorn to more adult beverages. Could a Grail be in its cups?
The diminished party of Servants was also running low on mana. Even with the threat of more evil amongst them, enthusiasm was dragging.
"How about the lilac-haired chick?" someone asked. "She's just kind of planted herself there, not making us think she's particularly good."
The Servants coalesced into a loose circle around Mash. They egged each other on to all focus their destructive power on her. "...I just wanted to help the Master. Notice me, Senpai!" she wailed.
The Master did indeed notice Mash, as she retreated in shame, her face purple with embarrassment. Everyone held their (mostly non-existent) breath, waiting to see how the miasma of evil might change with her elimination.
Nothing. Grail-kun yawned and vomited a bit. "How about you all spend some time getting a different perspective on this situation, look at it in your spiritual forms. Come back and see what you think later."
One by one, the remaining Servants disappeared, until all that remained was Grail-kun, a flustered Master, and a large shield, rocking slightly in a phantom breeze.

Night one begins, and will last for 48 hours, or 24 hours after all empty slots in the game (Currently just Ruler) have been replaced; whichever comes second.
