Alright, though I will not post specifics with regards to what I've interpreted from soft claims in the last DP, I would say that scum is most likely between Speed, Wylted and Evilgenius. I'm largely eliminating others based on how early they claimed (hard or soft, though I'm not eliminating the possibility that may be because they were just confident in claiming their character without the theme being discovered) and behavioral reads, but I'll provide complete reads.
Town:
Supa - The claim obviously helps. Ken Jeong is a doctor, is reasonably famous, and does stand up. Based on the justification for Louis CK and my own character, that is perhaps a little more on the nose, but not so much that it stands out. Picking me or Pie as a target, given our participation in DP1 and how we could be seen as townread, makes sense to me. I think if Supa was scum, especially given the lack of information we had about the Doc role, he would have been to say that he protected himself. That would have seemed smarter, though a town scum would have anticipated that scum would avoid them in case they Doc'd themselves.
Town-lean:
GP - The only other hard claim in this game so far, the Vanilla claim doesn't give him a lot of cover (especially since he claimed after I said that it's anti-town to claim Vanilla without pressure), but given that he normally claims this way in DP1, it would have been more sus to leave it out. The lack of an initial character claim still has me a little uncertain of him, and while I think his suspicions of me are just what GP would do, he hasn't given me much reason to see his reads as townie yet.
Poly - A weaker town-lean, but his posts give me a decent indication that he's town. I've seen over multiple games how he responds to being sussed, which was to disengage and panic when put under pressure. Maybe he's gotten better about it, but his posts also give me some suspicions that I won't get into here, but lead me to believe that he's town.
Null:
Wylted - His behavior in DP1 still stands out to me and I do not buy the "this is just classic Wylted" explanation from Speed. He's clearly putting more effort into this game in a way that he hasn't in the past, whether as scum or as town. I'm not sure how to read that, and I'm still trying to decide.
Scum-lean:
Speedrace - Having watched Speed in the last several games effectively take a backseat to the action, regardless of his alignment, I'm no longer regarding that as scummy. I am, however, regarding some of the dismissiveness of his reads as a little scummy. Like I said above, I think Wylted's behavior should stand out to anyone who read the DP, even if you don't scumread him over it. His basically nonexistent analysis of Pie, Evilgenius and GP also stood out to me.
Evilgenius - This is largely over inconsistency. He posted somewhat early in the last DP about how he didn't see anything from Poly that stood as scummy. He then shifts to a list of reads that includes a "..hmmm hmmm hmmm .." for Poly, and later calls out Poly later in the DP for "just sliding under the radar" to call him scummy, never once VTLing him. Now, presumably for the same reason, he's VTLing Poly. I can't say I understand his reasoning for shifting from no vote to VTLing Poly, especially when he also sussed Supa and hasn't responded to Supa's claim. It also doesn't help that his reads included "Nothing on WF yet" when I'd posted extensively in DP1. I understand sussing me much more than I do just pretending that there's nothing to be gleaned from my behavior in DP1.
So, if I had to choose, I'd go with Evilgenius. Guy's been all over the place, and I think we can get decent information from getting a full claim out of him.
