Alright, time to post.

BBMolla: Regular posts, numerous reads, almost none of them substantiated. But I think this is consistent with his general meta.
Read: Null.

Dante: Seems to be making a good effort to scumhunt. Some fluff and useless posts here and there, but otherwise seems alright.
Read: Town.

DeasVail: Makes clear reads and well-reasoned justifications. Is prepared to re-evaluate his reads.
Read: Town.

dopog: Liking his posts reasonably well. Also goes to the townpile.
Read: Town.

Katsuki/Pere: Starts by calling Peace scum and voting SK instead. Lots of useless fluffing for a while. Generally unhelpful and therefore anti-town. Pere is a bit better, trying to engage people, but he does seem to be overly concerned about people tunneling him. Then again, he did replace into a bad situation, with a large wagon on him.
Read: Null-scum.

Luna: Seems fine overall. Nothing stood out as particularly alignment indicative, to me. Not too much to go on, though.
Read: Null-town.

Metal: Reads are given, but without much reasoning. One head's scum and town reads are subsets of one of Luna's heads scum and town reads, respectively. Not liking this.
Read: Null-scum.

mnemonic: No scumhunting, no townhunting, little to no content. This is anti-town behaviour.
Read: Scum.

Nani: Well, bad scumhunting is better than none, I guess. Still, not much of interest here, so I can't make a read.
Read: Null.

ooba: Why the two votes in one post? Anyway, seems fine. Some reasoning seems off, but scumhunting appears to be happening.
Read: Null-town.

Peace: Not sure what to make of him. The towniness of his posts keeps going all the way up and all the way down... Not liking the "you can't convince me you're town" attitude, either.
Read: Null-scum.

Rail: Again with the two votes. What is going on? Are ooba's and your roles somehow connected? Anyway, definitely not an overwhelming beacon of towniness, but I'm not sure if people are correct in reading him as definitely scum. Would have liked more explanations for his reads and votes, on the whole.
Read: Null-town.

Shadowy Poison: Generally liking most of their posts.
Read: Town.

SleepyKrew/Diabolic: Seems alright. A bit too much fluff, but that can't be helped, I guess.
Read: Null-town.

neromollie: Early posts seem scummy. Later ones mitigate this, though.
Read: Null-town.

Vifam/Radiant: Nothing to see here, moving on.
Read: Null.

And with that,
Unvote

Vote: mnemonic


The approaching deadline means I'm likely to move to Pere, but I think that mnemonic is a better lynch, at this time.

p-edit: Hmmm... Need to rethink that last bit, a little.

@Rail: Yes, seriously. It may not be the most effective scumhunting, but it's an attempt. It could be faked, but so could most things. And fair enough, you don't have to tell me if they're connected. But why the two votes on the same person in the same post?

that kind of claim is spurious and cuts out the town from further evaluation. It is bad precendence to let anyone off on "comfirable power role." Period.

That vote is good for now. I may reconsider it upon further reading.

I was going to vote Dante but MD is voting Dante and it's completely against policy for me to sheep MD.
At what point in the game were you when this vote seemed like a good idea?

All three of these townreads are lazy as fuck. Quote Dante's best scumhunting efforts, explain how giving well-reasoned justifications and being prepared to reevalute reads = town, and show your work on dopog.

It's day1. I'm saying I'm a town PR. I'm saying I'm confirm-able as to that. I've now given you two additional pieces of information you did not have before to make an evaluation, so how does your post make any sense?

@Shadow: Yes, they are lazy. But then, I did need to read through 27 pages and read 16 players, so what did you expect?
Re Dante: Post 55 (eliminate the WIFOM), his discussion with Nani (posts 638-645), some of his questions to Peace and Pere.
Re Deas: Giving well-reasoned justifications for your reads generally means they are coming from a town mindset (i.e. trying to find those who can be shown to be scum and convincing the rest of the town of this). Being prepared to reevaluate one's reads usually means you are open to arguments based on reasoning. This is also pro-town behaviour.
Re dopog: His posts with significant content (115 and 466) seem to me to be coming from a natural town thought process. Those are the ones I meant, when I said I liked his posts.

My town-read on you is equally lazy. Any particular reason you skipped that? What do you think of Pere's claim? You gave some names in what I believe were scumreads, earlier. Were those in order of strength, or just arbitrary?

1) Some links to all of the information you just gave me?
2) "Eliminate the WIFOM" = scumhunting??? And I got the exact opposite impression from his discussion with Nani. Dopog was a legitimate wagon at the time and Nani added her own bit scumhunting to it, then Dante attacks her for it and even says he "doesn't see the offense?" Which Nani brutally slapped down later with like half a dozen dopog posts that illustrate her point.
3) You're right, it is pro-town behavior. I contend that every player should be expected to behave in a pro-town manner, as it advances both factions towards their wincon. So how does appearing pro-town = actually being town? Having a lot of nice reasons for doing what you're doing and being prepared to reevaluate isn't enough.
4) You thought dopog responding to posts from page 7 on page 19 and then doing a bunch of fencesitting on recent events came from a natural town thought process? I also think his case on Rail was weak, and I don't like at all how he scumread Peace before voting Rail because his read there was much stroner, and then never following up on his questions to peace. At the time it read like scumreading a buddy and voting someone else, and his behavior regarding it since only reaffirms that impression.

1) What's there to say? We're town, we're townposting, and you're either town who correctly spotted us townposting, or scum who already knew we were town.
2) I was never really interested in lynching Katsuki to begin with. Not at all surprised he was playing the way he was with a confirmable PR.
3) Rough order of strength.
