Starting from the beginning, instead of writing down what happens page-by-page I'm writing thoughts on specific players as they occur.
I stopped partway through page 11, I haven't had time to read the game since that point in-depth, but I'll get to it over the course of the next couple days.
Red_Ryu
The first thing I need to get out of the way with RR is his immediate miller counterclaim. The flavor makes just about as much sense as T-block's did for miller status. The CC and vote on TB make sense in the context of him being a miller. I have a LOT of trouble seeing scum RR counterclaiming miller like he did. Look at the time of the posts, it was about 3.5 hours between T-block's claim and Red Ruy's claim, at the beginning of the game. I would be willing to bet that RR wasn't lurking the thread during that time, thinking "should I counterclaim?" he probably just read what happened and CC'd. That heavily implies no communication with scummates, and I would imagine scum RR would consult with scummates before doing something like that. The fact that T-block later retracts his claim just reinforces the evidence that RR is miller. Is this good enough reason to just label RR as town and set him aside? I don't know, since I noted that his sudden absence during the time that T-block was getting pressure was scummy, though I don't know why he wasn't there.
...Ok, he has a string of posts on page 10. I don't have much to say on them, except that they're obviously catchup-y, and... I don't like them. They culminate in #405 with a vote on me, with little reasoning aside from pointing out a couple of my least helpful (though still amazingly helpful of course) posts and saying I'm noncommital. Overall impression: if it weren't for the claim that seems EXTREMELY unlikely to come from scum, I wouldn't be liking his slot right now. As it stands, unwilling to lynch him toDay, and obviously don't want a Cop wasted on him as it should turn up guilty. Would like to see more from him, including some justification for his vote on me (I'm being uncomfortably reminded of when he was scum in B&H and kept calling me scum, without ever producing his promised case)
Rajam
Getting a read on him is hard because most of his posts have been "out of date."
#345 is his first with some substance, and it makes me shudder. He seems to be more caught up and posting more in the past two pages, but I'll see for myself soon enough. In the meantime, his lynch seems good for town.
Sokr
Comes into the thread leaving little impression. Some bickering with Kantrip, which is a bit distracting. As of page 3/12, the most I see from him that I can remember is that he thinks RR's play is town due to meta reasons of scumRR being unwilling to put himself out there. Nothing really "scummy" from Sokr yet. Dislke his #312, think he's been a presence up until that point without actually doing much. His #344 is silly. His #358 is silly. His posts are getting more "Wut" in my eyes. His #365 is an obvious backstep, whereas townSokr from Britches and Hose wasn't afraid to speak his mind. (admittedly, the townSokr I'm thinking about had already proven himself to be the town vig, but still). Overall impression: leaning scum, would have no qualms about lynching him toDay.
mentosman8
He has few posts, so I have to talk about them in some detail, especially since I can't remember what he's done. Judging by this, I think it's safe to assume mentos has a townread on RR at this point (as in right now, since T-block retracted his claim)? The rest of his #159 consists of mostly telling Kantrip some general mafia advice, which is a null at best. The rest of his post is kind of wishy-washy, with some dislike of Kantrip and Rajam at the end. Overall, not leaving a good impression on me.God dammit, former me. Yeah it's cool that he's trying to stop the distractions, but that's pretty much a nulltell. At least I called him out on not voting I guess?
In his #199, he warns to be careful of Kantrip's power, which I approve of because it made me think of the implications, should the power be misused. He also gives me his current scumreads of T-block and Rajam. His #207, showing more frustration at the possible misuse of Kantrip's role, makes it look like he hasn't considered the possibility of Kantrip's claim being a gambit. It's up to you guys to interpret that as a scummy or townie mindset. Further wishy-washiness on T-block, dislike. Overall impression: not enough from him to decide if he's overall town or scum. Would not lynch toDay, would be a good target for investigation soon.
Jim Morrison
kinda on page 9 and haven't written anything about him yet... time to say "I like him" without justification! Just look at his avatar!
also this is a blatant towntell:
T-block
I believed his miller claim at first and had a townread on him from the start, and even after he retracted his claim I believe his intentions were townie, even though it sort of blew up on his face. Claims to be fine with a Rajam lynch in his very first post, and even after Kantrip's claim he says he's fine with that. Seems legit. I don't need to write more on TB, I think he's town, and all arguments on how he could be scum have already been made in thread.
Gheb_01
On page 7 and haven't had much to say about Gheb. He's popped into the thread and given some comments that don't generally seem scummy to me. Like his #343 with his willingness to ignore T-block's obvious 'scumminess.' Agree with his #354 on Sokr.
Gorf
Initial impression before really rereading: he's commenting on stuff passively and friendly. I get a ":3" feeling from his slot this game, yet I can barely remember anything he's done, and if past experience is to be listened to, that's a terrible sign. As of #144, a sheep vote that I don't like. That sheep vote is the hardest stance I've seen from him up to that point. His arguments against T-block later on I disagree with. Farther down page 4, he states he is ok with lynching Rajam.
As of the end of page 6, Gorf still hasn't given much in the way of stances, but he posts this
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=13949592&postcount=235 which SCREAMS of not wanting to take any blame upon a Rajam townflip. Overall impression: I'm finishing up this post and realizing that based on this post I'm making, Gorf should be at the top of my scumpicks. It's really weird to say that, if I were to go with gut I would say town, but evidence seems to be contrary. I also remember how I've disagreed with him on stances such as T-block. What is the general consensus of Gorf, anyway? Does he need more pressure (whenever he gets back?)
AsianAussie
Getting few vibes from him so far (page 7/12.) His #253-256 are pretty neutral, just speculating on if Kantrip's role could be real and town. Probably the most useful thing he says in there is "RR needs to speak up." Makes some more posts on page 7, states a townread on Kantrip, presses T-block for some info which is good, also decent interaction with Sokr. Like his #362 and 363. Overall impression: why is my summary on AA so short? ಠ_ಠ
Kantrip
I may have to write a lot on Kantrip, since he posts a lot and those posts are long, but I would prefer not to. The first thing to note is his claim, which comes off as townie at first, but could easily be faked or later passed off as a gambit. The problem is that if he proves it, he's dead. So in the meantime, I'll try to get a read on him. Actually JK, I'll do that later. It seems he's going to EXPLOD himself soon so we'll see, I don't want to waste too much time on this.
July
Same with Kantrip, except I think I'm capable of reading Kantrip more accurately, whereas I'll always be suspicious of July. Someone else can get reads on her, my reread will be way too slow if I try. As always, I would recommend an investigative on her, but others may direct it where they think it will do more good.
TL;DR version: read the whole post
