Reck -- unsure, but he's ALWAYS hard to read for me. I'll be keeping a very close eye on him.
chunkykev: Was kinda scummish, not as much now. Will also keep an eye on.
elvis: Bizarre, but I've never played mafia with her before; I only know her from GD/MD/62. Will watch.
SpyreX: Another one that's notoriously hard for me to read.
kuribo: I'm biased, because I still loathe him from our last game. Will try to be objective.
Fate: Fuck me running, I still hate this guy. Useless, and likely scum. His joking of bussing is likely not a 'gambit' or 'ploy' so he's probably pretty much the scum mouthpiece.
KK: Don't think I've played with him before; must read older games.
DGB: Always scum. Always.
Elli: always scummy-looking, but never scum. Absolute town here.
Grimm: Don't know him; had a dream of him recently which makes me wary; reserving judgment.
Hindu: Must refrain from kneejerking on him. He's probably town or 3rd party.
Rhinox: Annoying avatar, what else needs to be said?
Lurkalicious Lowell: Pssh. Non-entity.
This is totally pathetic.
In case you haven’t noticed by my previous questioning of players who have posted “reads” or votes with no substance, I don’t care for them much unless you back them up with some good reasoning or evidence.
Comments like “I’ll keep an eye on him” or “will watch” are nonsense. Unless you are mafia and know who the other mafia are, then surely you will be “keeping your eye on” everyone? Analysis like “always scum” or “never scum” are even more useless as are not even based on a so-called “read” but have no basis at all. I could go through every single “read” you have posted and point out why it is useless, so all in all your post was useless and just gives the impression that you are trying to look useful when you are really not. I need to decide if the reason for your post is because you are scum trying to appear like a useful townie or because you are a useless townie.
Feel free to redo your list at any time, but this time include some reasoning (that is intelligent thought out reasoning, not stuff like “always scum” or “always town”) and evidence to support what you say.

While I agree that Kuribo is looking scummiest just now (nice of you to give some reasons, finally), I can’t see how you can be as certain as you make out. Surely you have seen townies getting overly defensive when attacked as well? In the absence of a clearer candidate, if I had to vote now, it would be on Kuribo but I’ve lynched many a townie on day 1 for appearing scummy due to being overly defensive (usually weaker players that don’t have a good reason why someone else appears scummier so they panic when targeted) so I don’t want to just jump right on the wagon while we still have plenty players who have added nothing yet.
