El Barto's read of Jowy looked genuine, specifically his odd pairing of Jowy-crimson and insistence I look there on page 4, just because it's so specific and audacious. I do not feel El Barto was scum pushing Jowy. That looked like a real tinfoil from him.
In general, Cuth's read of Jowy is specific and well-formed, and despite his odd vote coloring I have no scum read on Cuth here. I think he arrived at Jowy town based on superior knowledge of Jowy's meta and methods, and this was not a forced or hollow scum reading a townie as town.
I don't really trust Novice that much, but his process on Jowy matches what I've seen him do as town. He gives a reason or two to back off the town read, and I think he can fake all this as scum, but if he is scum he's not being caught by any of his behavior toward Jowy, I don't think. It all looks on the level, pretty much.
Winston's townread of Jowy looks probably the most solid of the bunch. It's very firm, doesn't waver, and is based on his experience. I also don't think Winston had a chance to defend Jowy after the latest pushes of him, so he did everything he could to defend Jowy as a town read and none of it looked fake.
crimson mirrors my thoughts on Jowy but never pushes it at all, and I do not detect a scummy agenda from crimson. He's also town to me.
Csargo's push of Jowy looks normal, for him, and especially him unvoting Jowy looks great when csargo has 3 votes since his big tinfoil was always dp101 this game. I think he was on Jowy just to lend me a hand, but was willing to die to lynch dp101 who honestly had a bad first half of d1 and looked iffy all round. He can be scum because I've seen him make no effort to save himself as scum before, but this is just very gamble-y.
Monty took no action which is nai for him, but I didn't see him ever defend Jowy for town credits.
The least convincing person who commented on Jowy was Manasi.
Jowy's fakepeek and cop cover was downright terrible and wouldn't have convinced town or scums alike, in my view. Manasi hanging on to that almost 2 full days later and bringing it up as her only comment about Jowy isn't realistic to me as an actual defense.
If Manasi is scum and got a moderate townread from me, her behavior toward Jowy this game should be looked at.
Will add a bonus read here: Sooh was present near end of round and I don't believe most of her reads. Suspicion on her is warranted and I want a lot of activity and behavior from her on day 2. She needs to be closely examined. She didn't take a stand for or against the Jowy lynch, and is dead wrong about me being scummy.
Bad feelings about Sooh-slot can be due to her lack of engagement and being plugged into the game. So I want to see more before I make another hasty decision. Still, as someone who has seen her town and scum-sides, I didn't feel townieness yet.
