I'm asking people to expound on their thoughts so I can get a better read on them. Like I said I've never played with like 90% of you guys in a NOC scenario before and I have barely read previous NOCs. It's easier to ask someone to give me a summary of things they are referring to instead of sifting through thousands of posts of a game that already ended to pick up on that.
Mafia is a social game, if you know how other people tick it becomes easier to spot where people slip up, to see who is just acting vs. who is a newbie, that sort of thing. So when I said Blazade is posting stuff that I was already thinking (but hadn't posted), that means a lot to me because it means he is thinking about things similarly to me, and since I am coming at things from a village mindset, it's more likely he is too as opposed to mafia BSing. In my experience, this sort of read tends to be pretty effective, which is why Blazade's my strongest townread atm, followed by Walrein
Hitmonleet Okay, that's a lot different from what you said before. My own read on Josh is probably biased because I've seen people play like this before (fuck prims) and it's uuuusually town trying to get reactions from people. I've always done it as town but I suck at being scum so it's certainly not a solid/lock town read. I don't really agree with his King read but I understand where it's coming from, so I'm leaning town on him

this post from jalmont kinda bothers me. It feels forced since, as asek responds, I don't really feel like they were doing that at all. tbh based on jalmont's posts on rereading I think he's a strong possibility for lurkscum
Blazade if Aubisio claimed VT while being D1 lynched then yeah my read is probably meaningless since it means he doesn't think about D1 claiming like I expect people to. Also
http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/4977-Hydra-Game-8-5-Long-Live-the-Queen is my most recent game, but hydra game changes a lot (it means a lot to have someone to bounce ideas off, at least for me) and the people on MU post way way more than, for example, this game, so it's a lot easier for me to get reads on them.
I kinda feel like King's frustration is genuine because I know in past OC games he has gotten frustrated and beaten himself up 'cause he felt like he has no idea what he's doing wrong. That said, it's possible he could also be scum frustrated people are onto him D1, but my gut says he's more likely to be town.
