Reviews of:
Lady Salamence: mentioned boring trophy, exciting role. Reason to target her? Shows some fair play checking if Zippy's played before, etc. Jokes about my track record as mafia. Thinks Whydon's claim was a joke, then says it's also likely to get reactions. Also understands my reasoning for pressuring Whydon.
Duskfall98: Goes after Fame and Neon for the Zippy vote. Hops on the LS wagon. Not sure what the banter with HH/me/Fame on page 6 means in full. Scumleans LS. Remarks that I'm opportunistic; I know I can be impulsive in such ways. Townleans Fame, defends Whydon because it's how he plays. Then he remarks on how Whydon held out so long. Sits on the LS vote, defends Whydon again.
__________
Whydon: Initially goes after me, speaks well of Haruno. Fake checks LS, sticks to it until it's basically too late to save her. To put it bluntly, my role effortlessly strains game balance more than both flips put together and his claim blows me out of the water. So of course I suspect something is up. Also promises he's not trolling, when he later admitted he was. Page 12, claims he didn't know LS redcheck was a meme despite multiple people speaking up soon after his claim that it was, and it literally being her status. Memes for a while with trash posts. Scumleans Laurel, but doesn't seem to vote him. Interesting. Then asks to turbo Spiderz, who I strongly believe to be town.
ZippyDoo200: Early seems mostly new-to-the-site-and-our-style stuff. Says dusk will regret saying his opening was townie. Reminds me of a style I used as mafia before the revival and then abandoned. Though it could just be a joke. Jokes about revealing role, then goes after Haruno. Then joins the LS wagon. Derides Neon's note-taking despite how useful such a style can be for finding relations in all the fluff. Scumreads both Whydon and LS??? Don't get that. Defends Whydon a bit in the face of my push, then asks Ehmcee why he thinks Whydon is town. Wording reminds me again of an old mafia style I discarded, pointing out my less-savory points as something to the tune of I know it's not great, but I think it anyway. Lampshading. CLOSE TO DEADLINE. Then switches to Ehmcee. Says no opinion on Whydon, wants to keep them around. Says not to vote LS, then immediately changes at EoD.
--------------> D2, argues against me vs him. Does he know that if that's accepted, that it'd guarantee he falls and at most takes me with him? TMI slip? Seems to place a lot on Dusk's posts. I admit, I did the same D1, but that's demonstrably wrong so I admit error there. Reason to kill Dusk, to use him as a posthumous character witness? Wants to vote outside the wagons, so I'm guessing the mafia are at least mostly inside the major wagons, because between EoD and everything, I think Zippy is mafia. Suggests Ehmcee, Spiderz/Thunder, shadowpea. Oh, and get this: Post 370 says about half the people on wagons are town, despite wanting to vote outside the wagons. Because half on wagon town = half are NOT. Yeah, seems a lot better given an estimate of 3-4 mafia. Later suggests mafia didn't vote.
Just in case any of that counted as a vote, Vote Whydon. I've covered my territory and I'm sticking with it. I think it's him and Zippy as a pair.
Though I could be talked into a Zippy vote.
Quoted for reference.
Dead Town:
Duskfall98, Lady Salamence
Me:
Aura Guardian, of course
Probably Town:
Ehmcee, shadowpea, Spiderz, Thunder~BALLZ - from Zippy's desire to vote them.
Townlean:
ImaginaryNeon - the effort he puts into that list feels townie
Laurel -
Null:
HydrogenHydreigon - no real impression
Lean Scum (by default)
Fame, Haruno - others feel townie, they're lower in Null than Fame, so putting them here. And they're on the main wagons, so given my sus on Zippy and how I think I saw through obfuscation, they're here.
Probably Scum:
Whydon - Feels like Powerwolf/Openwolf
ZippyDoo200 - Feels like Deepwolf

Anyway, that's my reads list.
I like these posts from you, and I encourage others to write in detail what their thoughts on the game are, but I really don't like some aspects of this.
1. Scum Whydon
Yeah, the fake redcheck happened, this is not indicative of his alignment. Whydon is always the chaos slot at the start of the game, but we've seen him become a lot more useful to town later on, last game was pretty indicative of this. Whydon mentionned that he was initially going to disolve the LS wagon due to it being out of nowhere, but mentionned finding LS's reaction to the accusation scummy. While I find it weird to exclude that from your post, I will agree that I personally didn't agree with that reasoning to keep pushing LS, however Tommy also agreed that her reaction seemed scummy, essentially townreading Whydon.
I think Whydon is town, I think voting him is wrong here, I think we generally just get a lot more useful info for town from getting a different lynch tonight, if we're truly scared of openwolf Whydon, which could be possible, I don't feel comfortable voting him before gaining some more info.
2. Probably Town List
It feels especially weird that you're basing your town reads (which i assume are more positive than your townleans) exclusively based on who Zippy's sussed out, but also, you're just wrong on some of them?
Literally no one's scumread Spiderz? At least not Zippy, even checked Whydon and nothing from them unless I'm blind, townreading them seems so awkward as well since they've literally done nothing but post 3 posts, literally the player that's contributed the least this game.
From what I've seen he hasn't scumread TBZ either apart from calling him Lazy Ballz (hella funny), although I think this is a pretty good town.
I just really don't like that these town reads are A) not movitated or B) based on Zippy's suspicion of them, which falls apart if Zippy happens to flip green
