Unvote my troll vote from before.
Early reads (we are 4 pages in so forgive me that these aren't that elaborate or established).
Whiteflame- Null- Coming off fairly reasonable and normal sounding. I'm always paranoid of whiteflame but so far he hasn't pinged my radar any more than usual, he is just someone I will perpetually keep a eye on.
iLikePie5- Null very slight scum?- Not basing this off of much but the fact that he still seems to be eager to pursue that2user, which I initially hopped on that wagon as well but backed off when she made a pretty prominent soft claim. It's been pointed out to pie that she has but he still hasn't really backed off of it. I get that may be partially related to him not knowing the theme (I could be wrong on my assumption as well), but his attachment here seems oddly aggressive, and I do think that2 is putting a bit more effort in than the last game, so the established reason for pressing her seems to be less impactful here. I expect a bit more activity from pie as the day phase progresses.
That2User- Town- Based on her soft claim and who I think she is claiming. If she ends up claiming something different than what I think she is later I will be pretty suspicious, but the fact that she didn't want to claim easily, claims she is "close" to Tony, and is a female, is a pretty large indicator to me who the character is, and that is a character I would imagine to be town and in the game based on the season 1 research I did.
Wylted- Slight town- Im using a bit of mod psyche here, but I have a hard time buying wylted lands scum three times in a row. Also he did technically start the last game as town, and I saw how he played as town adjacent to how he played as scum that game, so far I'd say his tells are more consistent with his town play. Wylted is kind of an enigma and can be very manipulative, but I am not seeing that manipulative side yet, so I am passing him off as town for now.
Casey- Null- I don't have much on casey, I am not pressing her currently because I don't think my vote is needed, but I am fine with ultimately hearing more from her. We need a couple claims at least dp1, if she was chosen to be one of those claims I guess then so be it, I don't agree that it should be her over anyone else in particular, (especially for the faulty reasoning of being wrong on a single lynch in the last game), but yeah, again fine pressuring her for somewhere to start.
Earth- Null maybe town?- Hasn't really done anything to progress the game forward either, but his claim is an outlier in that he also claimed a female. There are quite a few female characters in the show, but so far we've only got two in game characters claimed as female. I feel like mafia would probably stick a male since theres sooo frikkin many to choose from, so I give him slight town cred for this, as female seems pretty risky in this set up. Without knowing the theme split, there could be several female characters considered prominent s1 (Carmella, Melfi, Meadow, Lyvia, Charmaine). Anyways, yeah just feels kind of risky and earth isn't really a risky scum player, so i'll toss him town cred for now.
Moozer- Null slight scum?- I don't really give moozer the noob pass anymore so I kind of find some of his takes weird, and ultimately don't understand what his town goals and motivations are. He seems to be okay with town offering information, but when we specify any sort of target for a claim, he gets defensive for that person. First it was that2user, now its casey. He wants information, but doesn't want town to pursue it? I don't understand what his actual goal here is, and I feel like he may be scum using inside information of known town players to get defensive over these players, in the off chance one is lynched he can say "I told you so" because I literally see no other reason he is randomly defending people in dp1 like this.
Bullish- Null could go either way- Obviously punishing casey for a mistake she made in another game in lynching him is ridiculous, but I don't know if he expects that argument to be taken that seriously. I do know that bullish as town in the last game seemed frustrated when the game wasn't progressing and people were shooting his ideas to move the game forward down, so him applying pressure anywhere seems consistent with his town meta from the last game in some capacity. I just haven't seen scum bullish in a while either, so I don't know how to read his aggression here as normal or over aggressive. Casey is a player I don't consider a noob, and can easily fend for herself, so bullish relentlessly pressuring her early feels bolder than that usual push. My instincts say that is townie, but it doesn't really stir my gut well. I am just gonna stick him in null for now and monitor his aggression to see if it stays consistent, and if it doesn't see if there is practical reasons why it wouldn't.
Ultimately out of all my reads I like moozer the least and don't really understand his goal for moving the game forward, so if I had to choose to put pressure somewhere it would be on him. Again I don't think he gets the noob pass anymore.
