It's a great way to seek consensus and create content to parse later. If we manage to form a group of happy campers (rare) that trust each other and all have similar reads, we can start using POE (Process of Elimination) to figure out the scum. How likely are the reads to change? Depends player-to-player. My read on you (Porkens) is pretty locked in, for example. That's a start!

I don’t know if it’s all that great. What if you are town reading scum, don’t you risk spreading that misconception to others? What if scum uses it as a way to plant town seeds on their members?

I'm reluctant to be too town-heavy on anyone early game but there can be clear benefits to at least starting to form townreads early on - sure, it's inevitable we'll sometimes get it wrong and regard someone who's scum as town but that can sometimes lead scum into making errors too, sometimes they pocket a bit too strongly, sometimes they hesitate to jump on a town wagon that's good from their POV because it seems too opportunistic. Early game is about pressing and prodding and seeing where it goes for me, and I say that as someone who's not particularly good at it.

I don't particularly like that post either. It feels like it's intending to be solvey by putting a sort of grand, almost conspiratorial idea out there but it's also not saying much at the same time. I feel like I have a tendency to scumread Galron a lot early game though - maybe a style thing, but will keep an eye on their play.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, especially right now. You don't have to agree with everything they say to Town read someone. In the long run, good Town blocs are great.

Pedit I didn't care for that vote either. Didn't sound RVSy, and I guess we're supposed to guess why?

Serious question: do you all read and understand everyone else’s posts? Or do you just sort of skim and go with feelings?

You are not a newbie, as far as I can tell, why do you keep asking questions about typical mechanics of the game?

I don’t really have one. I’m going to try and not get miseliminated. That’s really my only goal. Although I know that can’t win the game by itself, it’s my goal for the first couple days, at which point I hope to have gotten some idea who is scum er not.

Yeah, if you're town that alone won't help.

Have you tried several strategies to scum hunt before and failed?

I entered the thread before you, in case you didn't notice. I'm already voting, btw.

What's wrong with my approach to Porkens?

Why does this better?
They can just play and do there best.
You are pushing stuff that isn’t AI your just talking about someone’s capabilities and how they play the game.
