Scum are in the group of
Xzav, Rainbows, Nightcat, Gotard, Super. Everyone else is too town.
Koshi is town. He's posting too much and drawing too much attention to be mafia. I thought it was weird how he changed from "we should follow others" to a STRONG Super read, but if you look at his filter it feels very natural. He gradually moves and becomes more and more entrenched as time goes along, which is pretty town. Scum would be much more likely to just say "I think Super is scum" and then stay on his lynch and push it a little. There's no reason to do this and draw all that attention as scum when you could easily just artificially put a vote on Super.
There's also a little bit of "too mental to be mafia" with his self vote stunt. Martyring stuff like that isn't necessarily townie, but it would just be a REALLY bold move as mafia.
His pressure on me before and after the lynch, and his general actions after the lynch are townie. He's been hardcore pushing his read on me, and what he's saying makes sense from a town POV (for the most part). He's mostly tunneling me, which would be possible to fake as scum, but he's a central figure in the discussion now and it doesn't seem like scum at all.
Super still feels townieish to me. It's mostly a gut read, but his posting feels open and honest to me. He's given some reads at this point that feel natural to me. I don't think that scum would randomly start talking about the cop like he did. I also think that yesterday was town-town wagons because of the general amount of apathy and unjustified voting that went around.
Xzavier just hasn't done anything to make me feel that he's town. I hate that he gave a really long list of reads and didn't actually come to any conclusions on whether people were town or not, the entire purpose of a list of reads. The rest of his posting actually looks fine to me though. He's mostly here by process of elimination.
Rainbows' big problem is his apathy about the lynch. hz's already pointed it out, but it makes no sense from a town perspective. First, he posts this:

Okay so here's my thing.
Kirby is town. His list post and recent activity feels townie.
Super might be scum. Lynch him. But I think both might be town here.
If I'm right I believe Koshi/Gotard/plus one lurker are scumteam.
Id love to explain but again, working atm. Im trying to shoot off what im thinking as we go but it sucks i cant quote here. Will probably be voting super again later.
"Both might be town, but Super is scummier."Then this:

I feel as if we should lynch both days 1 and 2.
This doesn't make sense with what he just said at all.
He then sheeps onto the Kirby wagon with no resistance at all. He doesn't even protest at all.

Hey guys.
By the end of Day 1 I thought both super and Kirby were probably town and wanted to lynch one because nobody wanted to lynch Gotard. Just because I think they might be town doesn't mean they shouldn't be lynched. I don't know their alignment, nor does any other townie. I'd have preferred to lynch somebody else but even with the Tribunal shit going down it didn't look like It'd happen.
So, I gave very little shits who was lynched. It's day 1. Tomorrow shit gets real.
If I were scum I'd know the alignments of both these guys and have a strong stance and just never really waver from it. Hz, I'm blatantly thinking about the game and trying to figure out who was town/scum. I thought Kirby was prolly town, yes, but i don't know he's town. Super was scummier objectively imo, but it seemed a lot like he just played 'follow the cop' a lot on epicmafia or something. I jumped around terribly. It doesn't mean I'm mafia -- it means I don't know wtf anyone is in this game.
It would have been hell of a lot less suspicious to just jump on either candidate (provided super is town as well) and just sit there.
It is possible that it comes from town, yes, but that doesn't remove the scumminess of it. If he thought that Kirby had a better chance of flipping town, I would expect ANY townie to give at least minimal resistance. No resistance was given at all.
Also, where on earth did this attitude go?

I demolished a game as scum and troll claimed cop and ppl still believed me. my first town game i called out scum d1 ezpz. Last game i had 2 of 3 scum on my list of 3, but nobody believed me.
thats my history.
He went from "calling out scum d1 ez" to "I gave very little shits who was lynched, it's day 1, I don't know wtf anyone is in this game" when he was pressured about it.
Gotard has already been talked about a lot. His problem is that he gives out WAY to many townreads and, more importantly, defends too many people.
For example, the Stim thing. He first posts this about Stim:
But then when I talk to him about it, here's what he says:

Yeah he looks bad or i should say useless for town. But you need to ask yourself "What would he gain with posts like that as mafia?". Bad town not mafia.

So what he need to do to prove himself innocence? You are tunneling him too hard. You need to see the difference between someone being bad and scummy. I don't see any reason to rage like that if you are mafia.
Why didn't he mention any of this in his original post? Why is he so confident that Stim is town if his reason is that "It would be too easy if he's mafia"? This whole time, I was explaining why it would be beneficial for Stim to ragequit, be he was ADAMANT that Stim was town. He was extremely, unusually confident in this townread for no reason.
He also defended me and Umasi from Koshi a little for no reason. He then sheeped onto Kirby with a little justification, and then sailed through the lynch.

THIS IS BULLSHIT
TOWN WE ARE GOING TO GET SO MUCH INFO WHEN WE LYNCH
THERE ARE ONLY 3 FUCKING SCUMS. A MISSLYNCH IS NOT BAD.
ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING ME? WE ALL AGREED THAT LYNCHING WAS GOOD. AND NOW CHROM WANTS TO PROTECT SUPER SO MADLY THAT A NO LYNHC IS OK?
WE AGREE THAT THEY BOTH LOOK SCUM. FUCK THIS
Getting mad after misreading. Emotional plays like that indicates bad town to me. Unless he wants to fake being mad after I defended Stim.
His case on Koshi called him "bad town" (...) instead of mafia, so why post it at all? Town is looking to find mafia. If he's going to case Koshi without actually thinking he's mafia, then he's just posting for the sake of posting - aka scum.
Nightcat is who I'd really like to lynch tomorrow. His posting is essentially all fluff. Look at this post for example:

Just want to give an update on my situation, I am quiet busy today but i will catch up on everything before the first day ends. Since I will be home on Sunday about 2 pm est as long as the plane doesn't screw me over again.
I would like to vote after I reread everything again that,s nt on my tiny phone screen but as far as stim's situation , I feel that he's either a bad mafia or a angry townie , so either way not worth a vote now because now everyone will put an watchful eye on him.
This is pretty much the only read he's given apart from just sheeping the wagons (and a random town read), but it says literally nothing at all. He comes in a while after Stim has stopped being a topic of discussion and gives his thoughts as "he's either town or mafia" (like everyone else thought at that time). And then doesn't vote him of course because no one else is.
He randomly votes Kirby with no explanation, saying he'll explain later, but then he switches onto Super with literally NO explanation at all.

hi guys i just got back home and i am reading through the filters for jrkiby and super, i might have mis judge jirkiby plus it seems like he wont get enough vote to be lynch, since i am a supporter of lynch one person a day i am going to jump on the super wagon for now but i will read through everything first and i will difently till the end of the voting period, so i will be able to read any message from now.
I also wanted to apoloygize for my absents, i really dont go on trips that often and from the one this game was looking, i wasnt expecting it to start before i come back, but i will be here everyday from now one and be much more active.
#unvote jrkirby
#vote: superfluous
He doesn't even say that one of the cases convinced him, it's just that "I might have misjudged Kirby" with no reasoning why. The votes were 5-4 at the time in favor of Super, so the "consolidation" reason is quite obviously made up.
He later sheeps the "tribunal" in switching back to Kirby, but offers no resistance at all. Despite wanting to lynch Super for unknown reasons, he doesn't try to convince anyone to vote him.
What really tipped me off to him was what he posted right before the night post came up. Sadly, it was edited out, but here's essentially what it said:
Why on EARTH wouldn't you post that BEFORE the deadline instead? If you honestly think that, you should try to get people to switch off of Kirby.
The way he posted it, however, the only explanation is that he's trying to distance himself from the lynch by showing that he wasn't
really in support of it.

Superfluous (4): hzlank, Koshi, Xzavier, jrkirby

Xzavier (1): Superfluous
first of all, theres got to be some scum that jump on the jrkirby wagon because he was super helpful and its a good move to have him removed. super's vote on xzavier made no sense that wouldn't change anything, stim's last mintue vote.. i dotn even know whos playing but if it was stim then that last minute post seemed a bit mroe townie then scum. i dont feel like hurricane and umasi is scum but gotard and chrom is someone we shall look at . and about the votes that stayed on super.
those are more likely to be townie then not.
If he was super helpful, why wouldn't you resist his lynch? Why wouldn't you talk about this before the lynch actually occured?
More importantly, he doesn't even have a reason why he was "super helpful" apart from the fact that he was "active". I don't know about you, but I don't consider people to be "super helpful" if they're active right before they get lynched. This just reads like more distancing: "Kirby was SUPER helpful, I didn't REALLY support his lynch".
