Interesting take on 30years. Here are some of my own reads.
rac
On D1 I gave him a slight town read but then kind of neglected him. On D2 he talks about how he now town-reads Palmer because he voted for Bowlie/FEP again. This strikes me as a townie updating his reads as new events happen. Turns out Palmer was indeed town. He was suspicious of 30years on D2, which I think is a good sign. He has made many posts like
#1518, which feel town to me. Today his top scum reads are Dragonz followed by Cabot, don't really agree with either. Oddly he refused to post a reads today, but I would really like his opinion on 30years, Exo and Cewyn.
In general I would say rac isn't that forceful with his reads, he seems quite reticent, but he seems like a quiet town, scared of being wrong. I will tell him it's ok to be wrong and it's more helpful to town if you speak up, because it gives us something to work with if you flip.
30years
Another newbie player I initially town-read on D1. Today I feel like he has purposefully avoided talking about hot topics. His top read is Dragonz and Polter but I am unsure about why.
His hammer on Dusk:
Well I better post before I get kicked from this game.
Vote: Dusk Soldier
Maybe he didn't realize it was the hammer until too late, but that's not what I'm concerned about. He follows up with a string of what I see as panicked posts, thinking he's going to get booted from the game because he didn't make the post limit. It feels like scum preservation instinct to me. The vote on Dusk was his first post on D4. The Dusk vote especially seems scummy because it's more like "Well, got to get my vote in before people notice anything suspicious!" rather than "Well, I'm voting because he is scum".
In general, especially D3 and D4, it feels like he wasn't too concerned about really digging into the Kyan/Dusk situation (which I personally feel was big). The other scummy thing is that he has pretty much been suspicious of Polter since the start of the game. It feels like he is just sticking with a story.
His vote on Dragonz also felt scummy to me, joining the bandwagon without much reasoning.
Where have the cutesy faces gone?
Vote: WhereAreMahDragonz
I will admit I'm still completely lost and going purely off my gut.
I like Cabot's theory too, but I think 30years could definitely be scum.
Exodus
His top scum reads today are Oreo and 30years, and I think Cabot too. I certainly agree that 30years could be gaijin. I wanted to believe that Exo was scum, especially because in the early days he was convinced Palmer, Kyan and Dusk were scum together. But I think he was just misguided. I think he is on the right track by questioning oreo today. He hasn't done anything big either way, as in his posts could have been written as town or scum. Cautiously leaning town on him.
Cewyn
Started out today thinking he was probably town. But he seems very scared of being a part of/starting bandwagons. I think he doesn't want to take risks, but as a townie, what do you have to lose? So this behaviour earns him scum points in my book.
Can't risk a bandwagon...
Unvote
The Squid is right... Can't risk another bandwagon.
Unvote

I need to look at oreo, squidy and OMG FEP as well. I completely forgot FEP was playing.
