i have no idea if ppl still do things called reads lists anymore but here is a reads list bc i feel bad that i signed up for this game and havent given any content for licketyquickety to enjoy
conftown:
ythan
--see this if you dont understand this read------
fairly town:
dwlee99
--i give them a lot of town credit for their day one moves and i feel like they're participating in a very positive waynot_mafia
--i have a bit of experience with him and nothing about his play strikes me as out of the ordinary or as something i wouldnt expect from town him. i also think the way the kill went through on ssbm gives him some credibility bc like i feel like its probably a misplay for mafia to not fake claim there?? or like at least do something? so in my mind n_m, if mafia, might've lurked and waited to hammer there? like i think there's a world where n_m can stay true to his playstyle while allowing ssbm to like fake claim and do something +ev for mafia before they die but instead the hammer comes in a couple hours before ssbm gets on and that strikes me as genuine------
lean town:
save the dragons
--0/10 username, dragons are basically just capitalists so i would very much like to see them all dead. that being said i get generally good vibes from their posts. like in particular their mid-day one posts came across as town to me. i see being uncertain and hesitant about something despite voting for it as a sign of intelligence and good play and like wanting to see more content makes a lot of sense. i also think their frustration D2 is fair. like to me that just seems like somebody who is struggling to interact with the game and is just getting wagoned out of town boredom v. any legitimate reason and like i can understand how that lack of interaction while simultaneously getting votes could be frustrating and lead to disconnection from the game holistically so im not rly buying the wagon on themaaron
--i dont rly agree with any of his recent reads tbh. but i liked most of the D1 posts, they all seemed pretty good and like nothing D2 seems out of the ordinary, just not something i agree withalicek
-- the tone of a lot of their posts bother tf outta me. that being said, i feel like that's non-alignment indicative. the content from the three/alice interaction left me feeling like they are probably town. i place no stock in the ssbm vote either way, its kinda whatever. then there hasnt been a ton of content D2, but like i think it largely lines up with what id expect and doesnt alter my initial thoughtsandresvmb
--i have a lot of complicated thoughts about him, but im not sure its particularly relevant or worth exploring cause this should resolve itself in like a game phase regardless of my thoughtsalmost50
--this is probably my weakest town read. i dont feel like there's much readable content there. like i can definitely buy the frustration and see how it leads to their resulting play. plus they havent done anything that negatively stands out, so im kind of inclined to think they're town its just a very weak read------
null:
three
--i dont rly know how to feel about the three/alice interaction from this perspective. like three comes across as very crass at times, but i feel like thats more personality than alignment indicative. the one thing that somewhat troubled me D1 is he seemed very focused on himself and not on solving the game which is never a good thing. i do feel like their D2 posts look a fair amount better though, so im rather inclined to just wait and see until i get a stronger feeling one way or the otherugly duck
--im not a huge fan of the D1 vigilante discussion. having theories about how a vig should operate is something i dont see as being alignment indicative and so as a result i think actively encouraging a discussion on that probably isnt very helpful. heavily participating in that conversation strikes me as a way to look productive while being very neutral and hard to read which is a net loss. but like enough people were doing it that im not comfortable saying somebody's mafia over itbased on the way he voted ssbm, i dont see it as particularly telling one way or the other. i do slightly ask the liking questions bc i see it as a way to constructively participate and it somewhat helps seeing the thought process. i dont particularly care for their pressure on STD, the way they handled that doesnt look particularly good to me, but then at the same time there wasnt a vote so im not completely sure how to feel

lean scum:
jacksonvirgo
--i dont get particularly good vibes here. i will say, the early day 1 stuff in particular felt good. day 2 tho, ehhhhh. #684 in particular feels fake and bothers me. then they double down on that sentiment in #784 and it seems like a very poor excuse for the drop off in play. like based on their posting history, i dont really have any issues with them not being on ssbm--like to me that read looks fairly decently thought out and makes sense. but it seems like their play has experienced a massive drop off and they're hardcore trying to coast which bothers me and makes me feel like they're somebody who worked really hard D1 to like establish themselves, and then the more the game gets into crunch time they're just gonna be passive af which seems like more of a mafia strategy than a town one
