Man I wish Xivii wasn't lying when they said they checked Ran. I feel like I could have saved myself so much more time to read others, but I wanted to be thorough and not let Ran off the hook since he technically hadn't been cleared yet. I do at least feel 100% confident in him being town, but I feel like I could have just read a particular two of his posts for that.
We're gonna pretend I live in the pacific timezone.
Here are Ran notes, these were for me only since I imagine everyone else may have already decided Ran was town, but I want to at least show I'm not just making excuses for having less to show up with. I'm not done for tonight anyhow.
I know he has more to post after this, but with how confident I am in his slot now I don't see a point in analyzing it when I could save myself time by looking into more likely suspects.

Ranmaru:
- Ranmaru divulging his own reads at #569. Reads feel consistent with what he's said about the players previously, and in turn the scale format he presents his overall reads in also mostly matches what he's saying. My obly gripe is that I feel he places Lore too far town after acknowledging that his play was anti-town. Null town vibes from this post.
- Ranmaru expresses an interesting philosophy at #572. He makes a point that town should help those they read as town, such as disbanding town v town fights and helping town reads be more efficient in their actions towards scum hunting. I won't give an impression on this, I want to note it however as it may very well become relevant in following notes.
- Ranmaru questions Ex at #599. The questions in regard to his response towards me feel somewhat unnecessary. While I can at least see him not wanting to assume intention in regard to pointing out the nulls and wanting clarification, asking why the analysis was cut is really irrelevant. In regards to the "why Pythag?" question, while I think Ex makes their case already on the post where the vote, I think wanting further elaboration makes sense and progresses analysis. Z quesiton also does this. Null.
- Ranmaru provides justification towards scumleaning Ex at #685. I agree with almost all of this, except the parts surrounding his response to my reads. Saying he snipped the analysis to make me look bad is a stretch. Ex isn't dumb, he knows anyone actually playing the game will redirect themselves to the message he quoted. The more obvious and likely reason behind the snip is to take up less space on the page. Saying he shaded me is also a stretch. I'm not exactly satisfied with his response to my read list, but calling it shade is an assumption, especially given the friendlier tone Ex takes, calling it humble. At worst, I think it's just a NAI acknowledgement of my post. Which could still be seen as scummy in its own right, but that isn't what Ran was going for. Overall this comes off as Ran attempting to profit off of Ex's plays to form a scum lean on him, and trying to add more reasoning to strengthen the case. Null scum.
- Ran unvotes Osie. #1558. This interaction always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I never made a real note of it. Feels like Ranmaru was ridiculously easy to convince, like he had no actual confidence in voting Osie. Null scum.
- Ran answers Pythag regarding Wiisp. #1808. I don't like the lack of depth to these answers. Saying no with no explanation as to why is about as useful as saying nothing. Null.
- Ran scum leans Funnier at #1811. I agree with the reasoning here, Funnier's catch-ups did little for me, as no reads ultimately came of them. I did appreicate the questioning, but the questions themselves felt like they overall held little weight in the discussion. Town.
- Ranmaru's rereads at #1844. They make sense mostly, especially regarding Funnier once again. But judging by what he has to say around me and Ex, I would have honestly switched our places in the order he ultimately presents his reads in. Seeing these arguments, I would not have put myself above Ex. That said, I think it's just differing judgement. This post ultimately says enough to tell me Ran is town altogether. The amount of citation and detail Ran has to his scum reads alone, as well as the time he puts into presenting it nicely makes it impossible for me to believe he's scum despite previous grievances with his play I've had. I think in terms of actual analysis he can be weak at times, but this is covered in the following point. He is very clearly invested in both solving and helping others solve this game.
- Ranmaru makes a point about his town play at #2170. This explains a lot and makes my previous grievances with him more forgivable. Ran seems to be a player that will very actively throw around ideas to try and get some sort of trail towards the scum started. He isn't afraid to be flip on a dime as a result, as long as he feels confident in the direction he's switching to. Town.
