Okay, I tried to gather my thoughts. First I think everyone can reread Joseph, they (I just remembered that Jospeh said they prefer "they" pronouns; sorry about before) have not terribly many posts and the vast majority of them is short.
If you look at the posts, I think a thing that strikes me as townie is their reads are never hedgy. At every point Joseph's scum and town reads are very clear and when they are pressed to share what their read on a specific player are, there is always a short definite concise answer.
Some other posts that I think are townie:
LL is mason, so that's one of the big wagons off the table.
And we know that {mail-mi, raerae} aren't LL's mason partner (as LL suggested them as lynch candidates)
I think {raerae, DatSwan, mail-mi} are the 3 I'd prefer for today
None of them seem towny to me (mail-mi would be my least preferred of the 3, as it's mainly for anti-town lurking)

He puts his would lynchs as 3 townies. I think Joseph is the kind of player that would name a scumpartner here.
Also a rules question:
Mod: if Masons are in the setup, are there guaranteed to be at least 2 of them
I am pretty sure scum has gone through things and knows that shraeye is LaLight's partner at this point. The question could be fake, but it is so awkward that I am not sure scum would come up with it in the first place.
Vote: Datswan
That "read" of me was a load of fake bullshit trying to pull a case from nothing
Very scummy
This just reads genuine to me. The case was pretty bad.
Let's do some maths here
13 players so max 10 town
Setup says at least 5 VT = max 5 PR
claimed PRs are:
LL- Mason (confirmed)
Shraeye- Mason
Mail-mi - neapolitan (confirmed)
Ari- neapolitan enabler
EFHW- motion detector
I know/believe the other 4 PRs, so the chance of ari being a fifth town PR isn't great
Raerae- I went off the thought of lynching raerae yesterday, because I thought Datswan was scum. Their interactions yesterday always struck me as scum/town
What do you think about mail-mi's supposed result on raerae?
What supposed result?
Clearly I missed it, can someone post it again please?
In a similar vein as before, this reads townie. Scum is clearly aware of the mail-mi thing, I don't think scum tries to fake having missed that when it was talked about so extensively already.
So of the people alive, my views are:
Town: me, shraeye, raerae, faust
Null: Uncle
Slightly scummy: EFHW, ss
Scummy: Debatepro, ari
Probably not as useful to others as it is to me, but I think in our current situation scum very much wants to keep to option open to vote for me, and Joseph puts me as squarely town.

This is a pro-town effort. I wasn't aware of the 5 VT thing before that. Scum is hesitant to point out setup stuff like that because it tends to get them scumread.
ari, faust, Joseph
Great list. Ari and the two people who seem to find ari the scummiest
Naturally that must be the scum team.......
So, it seems like now is a nice time to claim. EFHW and raerae have a chance to disagree on that decision, if they can make me believe their opinion.
I think we should've just claimed rather than waste 2 days posting scum reads and waiting for people to do it
But hey, each to their own
The tone in those isn't something that helps Joseph win people to their side. I think it sounds more like annoyed town.
