RAINBOW READ!
BPD - Lock Town: TOWN LOCK and town leader. Not enough people listening to him this game.
Gram - Lock Town: IC and obvious town lock. Wish he could help us out a bit more figure the game out, but I do understand where his apathy is coming from.
CraigPelton - Lean Town: I mean, if Craig has fake claimed cop and used the usage as well as he has, then good for him. Having a fake cop claim would be really lame in my eyes and not something I think Ultra would do, so just willing to say he's town here.
Ekko - Lean Town: - I think the more he defended his claim, and also Ratchet saying that the invest JOAT is believable, I'm still willing to give Ekko a town lean here. I've seen him spout a lot of nonsense as town before, and the way he still puts confirmed and semi confirmed roles as suss is something he is capable of doing. I think the way he is saying it isn't necessarily being understood the way he means it, as weird as it is. I do think he's tried hard to push for leads as well as being open-minded about things. Well I do think Ekko has spouted more nonsense shit than usual, I don't really think he's using it as a distraction or a way to hide.
Fujishiro - Slight Town: There can only be one GF and if Craig somehow copped another framed/lawyered player, then I guess good game. I don't think his play has been great, I don't think his claim has been great, I don't think his usage has been great. But unless a framer/lawyer flips (or Craig somehow flips wolf), then I won't get too paranoid this game over this slot (don't think Fuji is tracker and GF).
Ratchet - Slight Town: Ratchet is a tough one. I probably think he's just town here. If not, he's having another hell of a wolf game and kudos to him. I think the only way he claims lightning rod here is that if he feels like maybe his driver claim won't hold up late in the game. I think his thoughts have been pretty easy to follow, though, and I don't sense there being any agenda, really. I think I'd obviously feel a lot more comfortable if we'd be able to lynch a wolf and he was there pushing it all along. But yeah, Ratchet is town and I'm slightly wary. Only slight.
Tweet - Slight Town: This is another slot where I just don't have a clean handle on. I think there's things about Tweet's game I don't love, but I think that's alright; I've followed his logic clearly enough this game. I think one thing I noticed last day that gives him town points is when the Rugrat/Fuji wagons were kind of neck in neck, Tweet could have voted Rugrat to bring him close to hammer and he refused. So if he was wolf, why not take the easy mislynch there?
Aurelian - Slight Town: Fang might just be a slot I have a forever hard time of reading. The last few games I've been in with him he's been town and this game feels like the same vibe. I don't necessarily remember him as much this game, though, and I feel like when Fang is town, his presence is definitely felt.
Gad - Gad is kind of hanging on for a thread for me and I think he could be a possible backdoor wolf here; one of the last I'd lynch if wolf team is almost dead and POE is small. I kind of feel like his claim maybe was an attempt to get him some fake cred; vanilla isn't hard to claim. I think Gad probably is just town, but can't forget about him when POE dwindles.
Tsword - Slight Town: This is only because of the cop check on him. Definitely could be GF. Dalton didn't do a whole lot with this slot and Tsword hasn't either. Very possible he's GF and wants to just ride out a town check as long as possible.
Prof - Slight Town: Chadwick didn't do much in this game and I really hope he was just overwhelmed his first time back and not trying to make sympathetic excuses to earn cheap town points. Prof has done nothing. This could be a wolf slot for all I know as well. This is my leading candidate and the remaining indie, though.
Doddsy - Slight Wolf: If I was to say based on just looking at the role, role blocking everyone kind of seems townie? In a game that's fairly vanilla, a wolf role block during the day seems kind of weak? But at the same time, I do agree with the point that a town Doddsy just coming in and using that ability without really being linked into the game seems fairly reckless, and Doddsy doesn't strike me as that kind of player. I don't know if there are four or five wolves this game, but I'd say Doddsy works good as a fourth or fifth wolf. He really does fit with any team.
Flower - Slight Wolf: Honestly been feeling worse and worse about this slot as the game has gone by. I think D1 Flower really fooled me if she's wolf, but I don't think she's really been able to maintain that trickery. Unfortunately, I have seen her play this way as town before, so that gives me hesitation. However, I feel like she stopped making sense a day or two go and I'm always unclear of where her head is at and where her direction is. I think she's done well under pressure, but then again, I don't know if anyone has really grilled her. She's also another early vanilla town claim and I don't know how well that should hold up. My paranoia on this slot is getting high.
Phenom - Lean Wolf: I've come around on Phenom being wolf. His D1 vote on Psychic and then subsequent vig claim on her could make sense as a setup play. His voyeur claim also comes after Alco claims doctor, not before. Also, remember that Phenom might have slipped with his role claim by saying he got the message 'bodyguard' when Alco was really doctor. He's definitely disappeared since then. Probably just wolf.
T-Pein - Lean Wolf: I think this is probably the GF. I don't think his game play has been great at all. D1 he struggled to find his footing and he was dancing around Flower, Psychic, and Lethal's slots. I consider those slots to be low-hanging D1 fruits and I thought he did poorly around them. I don't think his defense of his slot has left me thinking I'm wrong; part of that is he's just been dismissive of me and cites me being terribad as his reason). Maybe his claim blows me out of the water here, but I'm still waiting for him to drop it.
