As far as your actual reads, a couple things stand out.
-Can you go deeper into what you mean by DoubtingThomas' post style changing?
-What do you mean by Tom acting "overly towny?" Can you point to specifics that make you feel that way? In general, I think Tom has a pretty even keel and his overall vibe comes across as towny in general, but I don't know that I've ever played a game with Tom as scum to be fair.
