Hmm. Time does feel a little aimless.
Ehh I kind of am.
I will say Gorlak feels #1 on my scum read, but LP seems very suspect right now. That's what I got. I'd go either way.

But I feel that this "joke vote" controversy needs to be dug into a little deeper.
How many times have you had to explain your joke avatar in the game already?

batsnacks - haven't noticed him, I have a blind spot for lowercase though
CCS - playing like a confirmed townie (not at all)
Crab - has a few questions, but started late so no read yet.
Tim - jumping on my unvote started all this. Kind of an easy way to generate discussion. Slight town read
Gorlak - playing like Gorlak usually does (overeager and over-defensive), slight scum read (blame gut)
Haly - following Tim everywhere, almost too obvious, slight town read
Kawl - active and asking questions, slight town read
Kyan - lowercase blind spot, also is he going to play like this every game, no read
melon - seems awfully quiet so far, slight scum read
Ouro - seems awfully quiet so far, slight scum read
squidy - less active than me, stop the presses, no read
Time - pretty logical so far, slight town read

^ how am I quiet exactly?
Also you calling people out on being quiet is hilarious.

I imagine the answer is yes, even though I am not sure what you mean by that.

Those mad reads are nice and all. But it doesn't really answer my question to you, LP:
One person, right now.

I just like to sit back and analyse. I'll have my grand theory of everything soon enough
I realize being confirmed town zero seconds in gives you the luxury of not having to worry about people questioning your alignment but you should not sit back and be reactionary towards the game.
What are your current thoughts, feelings?
This gets thrown around a lot and I struggle with how much I agree.LP is bargaining with the thread I made an infographic
Vote: Lone_Prodigy
On the one hand it can be easy to fall into as frustrated town to try and protect yourself and make it further in the game. On the other, I do think this can be effective in highlighting to a townie that they are not bringing anything of value to town with their current attitude and approach. Even if it causes scum to move on the offensive, that gives more room for slip ups than just letting them be purely defensive.
So I like pushing things into this paradigm, but I'm not sure I see it as a lock for alignment indication.
I'm uncertain on whether I'm onboard with the mini wagon on LP. Barring terrible scum play, D1 lynches are always mostly gut though and my gut doesn't feel great about him.
Town reading bat and Gorlak right now, their exchange felt like town v town to me.
I think you're town, not 100% but reasonably confident.
Slightly suspicious of squidyj, just feels like a slightly quiet scum.
No other real feelings.
And acohrs is town

It's a dumb paradigm. I know I'm town. I know if I'm lynched, town lost a player. I know if someone else is lynched, there's a non-zero probability they're mafia. Ergo, it is always better for me not to be lynched. Town not desperately struggling survive are bad town.
But... the best way for you not to be lynched as town is to persuade other people that there are better options - this is a comparative game. And that involves solving the riddle.
Survive and solve aren't dichotomous. They're the same thing.

Defensive vs offensive is how I've always read it tbh. Players on the offensive are more useful and more likely to slip up.
And there can be times when getting lynched increases towns odds though so I don't think it's that clear cut crab. Sometimes the Gordian knot of a scummy ass town member needs to be cut so town will move on.

It sounds like you agree more than your disagree
The main focus of LP's reads list is 1 event, the exchange of people voting/commenting on him because of his joke vote. A townie's reads list should be a tldr of their progress on solving the game because town wants to solve and find the mafia. LP's reads list is a response to pressure, it's a bargaining chip to get people off his back.
I don't really like that time felt the need to chime in here twice. I doubt it's wolf defending wolf, but I could see scumtime distancing himself from a mislynch.
Still feel stronger about LP right now though.
survive - solve = mafia because town solves

Don't you put words in my mouth boy
But....yea, mostly in that it promotes better and more helpful play for town to solve

No, mafia also solves. They just reach the wrong solutions, which town also does, only mafia does it deliberately.
well LP isn't and I think we should lynch him for it!
Lots of mechanics/game theory talk from you so far, who stands out aside from LP?
All of these necessitate the qualifier of "good, skillful" which muddies these positions quite a bit when dealing with Gafia

Hmmmm, this is an interesting post.
this is fake news
I didn't realize crab writes for the failing New York Times. It all makes sense now.

I prefer the term alternative vote.
Well then are you actually scum reading me or was it just easier to open photoshop then answer my question?

paint.net. I'm not a member of the librul elite.
I've already pointed out I have mild suspiscions about Ouro. Otherwise, I either have no firm read or would prefer not to divulge yet.

pretty much, eh
No worries. It's ok to be wrong.

I don't know why people keep putting words in my mouth.
I posted a reads list because I was asked to. If you're going to lynch me for a list made barely 24 hours into a game, then there's no changing your mind. I'd be happy to provide an updated list when we start talking about something else besides 1 (non)-event.
And the whole "lol LP saying I'm quiet" is so old. Is a pot never supposed to comment on a kettle's colour? Ever?
Anyway I've hit my post quota for the day so I'm going back to hiding, coasting, etc.
