Alright, some quick reads since I've been gone all day.
Thoth - I don't like him much behaviorally, but those times also tend to be the ones where I put light townreads on him and this is no different. I feel like he's been a bit more defensive of the whole push for massclaiming roles (I get that he more suggested open discussion of it, but he's been largely supportive of its pursuit) than he should be, but I also think Thoth is more likely to claim under the kind of pressure he's gotten if he's scum than town. It's not a strong read, especially given that scum didn't get a fake role claim this game, but Thoth has thrown out some pretty big swings as scum before and I don't think that would stop him. I'm hesitant to give it more than a gut townread, though.
Pie - Not a lot to go off of so far. The joke vote on Wylted followed by the vote on Thoth entirely on the basis that he's not great at fake claiming would be opportunistic from virtually anyone, but it's not unusual for Pie. I'm tempted to townread his last couple of posts as he comes to the realization that the Miller claim is likely real, though it's not really enough to sway me off of a null read yet.
Wryly - I'm largely null on Wryly with some slight town vibes. I can largely see the pattern that Helz is laying out with Wryly's posting, though comes off as more kicking the tires on the idea and encouraging a bit of back and forth with it. And I can also see Wryly's point on the Miller claim, which is something I've pointed out as well. I don't think Wryly's specifically dismissing the possibility that Rex would do this, rather that it's an appropriate risk for virtually anyone (with exceptions) to take, at least insofar as we've seen players take it on this site. Yeah, it's analysis of common site meta, but I think it's valid here. I wouldn't say it gives me a solid reason to townread Wryly, but I can at least get a bead on Wryly's thinking and that makes me want to lean town a bit.
Magoroth - Slight scum. It's basically down to his last two posts, which are the only ones that contribute an opinion so far. Wonky choice to say that he wants a mass claim delayed to DP2 without much explanation beyond it possibly ending the game DP1 (unclear why he thinks that) before questioning the entire basis for seeking a mass claim at all. It's "both sides"ing the issue while also delaying any implementation. It's not a lot to go off of, but then he hasn't really posted enough for me to make any other inferences.
Wylted - Perhaps a little quick on the jump with the mass role claim idea while also shunting to push Mago for some reason. That's not really what bothers me, though. I get pushing Thoth, too, though it seems a little weird that, after jumping in and saying that the mass claim is an idea he supports, he's going after Thoth for being the one who suggested it. He embraced it before Thoth did, and it feels a little disingenuous, even if Thoth started the idea. I also really don't like his continued efforts to push against townreading the Miller claim. I get that the claim came later in the DP, but it seems like Wylted's ignoring the risks of the claim regardless of whether it came up at the beginning of the DP or in the middle. Slight scum.
Helz - Largely based on the extensive reads and how Helz is going about looking through everyone so far, I'm putting them as slight town. Not really any strong read there because I know Helz can come up with reads like this and be detailed and thorough in the analysis, particularly this early, but I follow the logic pretty well and see the progression of how Helz is viewing everyone's posts so far. Usually townread that shit, no different here.
Banana - Null. Just not a lot to read into so far. Said she's not opposed to the mass role claim with a caveat about interpretation, then just said we have to make a decision on the mass claim soon. It's not a very solid position one way or the other, and though I think a role claim from her might help me situate her better, I don't think that's reason enough for me to push her for a claim now.
Rex - Lean town. I've already explained how I see the Miller claim and why I don't think scum would play this the way he has. The late-ish claim also gives him a small amount of towncred IMO, just seems like an odd way to act given that it would immediately invite questions. I just don't think Rex takes this kind of risk as scum.
So yeah, right now, I'm tempted to get a claim from Wylted.
VTL Wylted
