I tend to think that most posts are probably NAI, at the end of the day. But particularly in the early game I think it’s helpful to think about whether particular posts are more likely from town, and to push on anything that might be from scum. For the posts made thus far, I had some thoughts along the lines of “this could be from town”, but then also counter-arguments in my head about why what I thought was town, wasn’t necessarily.

For example, I agree that Star Power’s post isn’t particularly indicative of scum, but I also can’t townread that post. In the end it’s just a colourful way of saying “let’s kill scum!”
IMO I don't think you are a dull player so if you haven't seen anything suspicious yet then I think you should reread and be more open to being skeptical and critical of others. I think the idea of whether or not most posts are NAI is tricky. In this particular game I believe that a lot more AI content than usual has been created.

It's a good question but I'm going to be cagey for a little while and see what people do. I promise to out my reads sooner than I did in that Mini Normal we played though, I waited way too long in that game. I'll also remind you when I did finally out my reads on D1, Hoppip/Delta/Nuclear Gandhi was 2/3 correct. I found Hoppip/Delta right away so there was no real benefit there to waiting so long which my intuition says will be similar to this game. At this point I feel confident that I found 2 group scum already and no matter how much I flail and gnash my teeth I will be unlikely to pin down the third, though I can narrow it down quite a bit.

FWIW I believe #75 above is more likely to come from Resident/Dictator than group scum.

Must be scum out of ideas.
This is also what I thought. It seems like DeasVail is playing from the point of view of someone who is looking over posts with a checklist of tells to appear useful, rather than engaging in actual solving.

VOTE: DeasVail
Maybe but why them specifically over hmm...basically everyone else, excluding Bombay and maybe Bell. Rest of us weren't exactly overtly solving stuff.

PS: I'm taking frogsterking's readings on page 1 as a joke, not them being serious
I thought I'd played with a Flavia before, the name sounds familiar, but this account is brand new? Am I high?

Kookaburra, Why are you pretending to evaluate marci asking me to join her wagon as non SvS whereas you evaluate her doing the same thing to Dease as likely to be SvS? It's not because Johnny recently posted some reasons to be suspicious of Dease and you're hoping to fuel a TvT between them, is it?

I'm going to assume this is meant for me.
What do you mean by pretend? Why didn't you ask why Marci pretended to do an honest work?
The difference is that Marci invited you, whereas Dease invited himself. Marci can invite anyone, so how would that make it SvS?
Johnny's reasoning on Dease is flawed because scum don't need to pretend to be scumhunting this game. The only question is why Dease thinks he needs to make AI reads so soon, which i don't find AI in itself.

I would probably spam or act silly before I admit that I am not actively contributing to solving. That’s my perspective so obviously won’t apply across the board. But that’s all I got. So I think Passenger is trying to justify a vote with too many words when there’s no way you can make that long a case about anyone.

I was also wondering this and came to the conclusion that they came across as over explainy in because they were prompted to write from a stilted and unnatural question+source.

I don't understand why you think i was pretending, but didn't think why Marci was pretending with a naked vote.

2) why Dease inviting himself is SvS
The dialogue felt fake to me. Dease is being FOS now so him starting a wagon without actually committing to it is not town behavior.

3) why scum don't need to pretend to be scumhunting
This was answered already

4) how you expect any of the three questions you directed toward me to lead to me saying something AI.
It is up to me to judge whether your reactions and posts are AI, not you.
