Here are my only reads at present that are not complete nulls:

Reads to now:

bozotheclown - Slight scum: Has done nothing but ask questions about the setup. Maybe trying to look involved without giving anything up.

CrimsonFox - Odd newb but giving a "clueless new scum" vibe.

Jamiet99uk - Town.

LordQuas - Scum: Depth-charging and making false claims.

ND - Slight scum. Has been present but avoiding any contribution. Standard shady ND. Also a cultural fascist. Sad!

Nephthys - Town.

Squigs44 - Slight town but that's just instinct and vibe. Need to see more.

Vecna - Slight town but damn he's annoying.

xorxes - Scum, hunting for Town PRs, yuck.

NAI, that's what bozo does D1 as either alignment.
CrimsonFox - Odd newb but giving a "clueless new scum" vibe.
Obviously not a newb to the game, only new to this site.
Jamiet99uk - Town.
Probably, but either way easy to figure out in a couple of days.
LordQuas - Scum: Depth-charging and making false claims.
Nah, pretty towny so far.
ND - Slight scum. Has been present but avoiding any contribution. Standard shady ND. Also a cultural fascist. Sad!
True but NAI.
Nephthys - Town.
Null.
Squigs44 - Slight town but that's just instinct and vibe. Need to see more.
Same but replace town with scum.
Vecna - Slight town but damn he's annoying.
I believe his claim as well. That at least rules him out as third party.
xorxes - Scum, hunting for Town PRs, yuck.
We don't know which PRs are town and which are scum for the most part.

@jamie
Good morning... as I forecasted, not on much till tomorrow.
But I did read to catch up.
Why did you ask that huge set of questions at the beginning publicly, rather than ask the GM's in a PM?

also:
In this comment:" I really dislike the way that, right after Netphys showed up with a very sensible, very towny post, Lord Quas and Fox 2 showed up and made what looks like a serious attempt to depth-charge it."
I am not sure I saw them as depth-charging. They are both newbies, right? Which doesn't mean they are stupid, but might they just be reacting with a long serious post (of which there have not been too many?)

Finally... I am not sure of the benefit of +1ing everyone. I will read again later, but might the request for everyone receiving +1 benefit scum as well as town? It seems role related more than alignment. We need a chart to see what roles are benefited/require +1's.

Have a grand day!

I think it helps town to have information. When I feel that a rule needs to be clarified, I generally ask in public, so that everyone benefits from the info.

I don't mean LQ's one long post, I mean the absolutely pointless non-game-related exchange they had that filled up most of a page with pure trash.

I don't think you're England, if that's what you're trying to imply.

Xorxes, if it happens that you are town, stop being an idiot for a moment and listen to me.

You are right that some PRs could be either town or mafia. Ok.

Assuming the GMs aren't departing from the normal procedure, the Mafia team members will *know* which roles their team mates have.

They will not, however, know which roles the town has. They will therefore be very interested to find this out, if they can.

You are currently helping them in this endeavour.

Why are you doing that?

I suggest we leave this conversation here for now and take it up again in a couple of days if we are both still alive.

Yes, that is a good idea. I'm glad you've seen some sense. Frankly we should not have been having that conversation today in the first place.

Who is your top scumread right now, and why?

He made several posts. Which one looked artificial? What do you find artificial about it?

Also, I wouldn't be surprized if around half of the people who haven't posted are scum:

RHK, DoubtingT, DrCJG, Foxcastle, Ike, worcej.

The one I responded to. It commented about a lot of people saying nothing but useless trivialities about them.

I meant to check in last night after a party, but the party won out. I'll catch up today, and yikes, we are already coming up on 10 pages...

Also, can I ask that we keep me as Fox and CrimsonFox as Cfox or Crimson? And apologies, CrimsonFox, I'm not trying to horn in on how you want to be called, but I want to cut down on mistakes and confusion, and I think Fox 2 has a lot of potential for mistakes given how closely people around here don't read... I also want to cut down on confusion with the peterbot (Fox 2 is less clear as a search discriminator than Cfox or Crimson, and the peterbot will require at least "VOTE CRI" to pick up votes for CrimsonFox anyway).

You think only two scum have posted so far.
Interesting theory.
Who is Squigs' scum-mate in that case?
