As promised, I started rereading wam overnight, and this is where I got to before being informed by mod that the night had ended (I'd said to end early if I was being killed)
wam D1:
Post 1: Betrayed by Sabrar for not voting him. Votes Sabrar.
Post 2: Cake is a lie.
Post 3: Asks Sabrar for clarification to point about not scum certainty.
Post 4: Long 2 days. Apologises to Sabrar for misspeaking.
Post 5: BF often does gambits (explains to Eido).
Post 6: Initial impression has Eido Town. Agrees with Sabrar leaning town heury. Messie going to be hard to read.
Post 7: Encourages phillip to not trust others and their reads. Wants messie to talk about herself. Stream of conscious trying to get head into game.
Post 8: Asks Sabrar for more detail on heury read. Leaning vote messie; doesn't get fos for not seeing something in the OP added later (missed it too). Cynically thinks messie is worried about Sabrar for having best meta read of component parts.
Post 9: Points out L-3.
Post 10: Reading Sabrar as town; doesn't think scum!Sabrar would have been that committal. Eido/Sabrar/Heury/somi town, messie scum, rest neutrals. Not going to vote phillip on D1.
Post 11: Seen bessie fake high energy scum hunting as scum, so messie scum hunting neutral. Finding odd her push for missing something in OP. Thinks more likely townie or neutral.
Post 12: Prods Phillip for thoughts on Sabrar and BF and their actions.
Post 13: Thought messie objection to him was OMGUS, but she's now claiming there's logic. Points out he has a scum read on her. Thinks scum read OP more than town, asks messie for her thoughts.
Post 14: Still town reading heury. Scum!heury lurks badly D1, and he's more involved here. Responds to BF saying not seeing anything scummy in Eido; top town read. BF reasoning very weak.
Post 15: Updates reads list with Eido/Sabrar towniest, BF/messie scummiest. Doesn't find mountainous question rolefishy - thinks too experience to be that obvious. Somi slipped down because of others rising. Not around at deadline.
Post 16: Missed heury off list, adds as third towniest.
Post 17: Not buying Boom's gambit, but was reading messie as scummier. Nothing else changed so keeping vote.

Side note not going to vote Philip at any point today on principle as day 1 Elim for newbies is not on.
@wam - why did you feel the need to point this out at this point? Phillip was not under any threat of being eliminated (I don't think anybody had seriously voted him or shown any real signs to do so).
Also, you said you explained most of your reads in your final D1 reads list, but I can't find any indication why BoomFrog is second scummiest on your reads list. This feels slightly off to me, especially as you took the time to comment on your third and fourth scummiest reads (somi and Mak). You do go on to explain it in your final post of the day, but why didn't you do so earlier?
I don't find much objectionable in wam's D1 content outside these two points. His main issue is the lack of concrete explanation for his BoomFrog read at the time he makes his list, as highlighted above.
Day 2:
Post 1: Sad by Sabrar death. Follows his wishes by voting BoomFrog. The more he looks at D1, the less he likes BF. Might have switched if he'd woken up earlier.
Post 2: Responded quick due to breakfast. Comments were based on end of D1 read.
Post 3: Highlights where BF showed TMI.
Post 4: Wild Friday nights.
Post 5: L-2
Post 6: Unvotes (avoiding L-1).
Post 7: Responds to BF: didn't understand BF read of Eido; didn't buy gambit. BF graded on harder scale due to what he can do as scum. Explains where he didn't like BF vote on somi to messie; highlights how he's trying to find alternatives rather than scum. Gut feel, BF banked on heury being town & didn't want to self-pres, keeping messie around good, since she's defending boom; somi push more BF's self interest than genuine scum hunting. Responds to messie re. Phillip - thinks Mafia!Phillip would be more aware of day/night differences.
Post 8: Who would messie suggest other than BF? Does BF elim feel too easy?
Post 9: Notes BF post to respond to later, can't focus.
Post 10: Torn on messie, scummy D1, nothing much D2, second scummiest behind BF.
Post 11: Further explains suspicion of BF somi vote, wasn't trying to solve somi. BF should factor in somi low content.
Post 12: Worried thread is dead.
Post 13: Asks Eido who second choice after BF.
Post 14: Auto-correct.
Post 15: Asks Mark for reassessed list.
Post 16: Also Makhaira.
Post 17: Long day, read Boom's case couple of times. Team analysis winey, could argue for several teams including BF. Makhaira analysis stacks up, sitting back a bit. Concerned BF too easy, scum sitting back laughing. Nervous moving off BF and regretting it. Head says Mak, gut says BF. Happy with either, moves vote to Mak, to leave options for those around at deadline.
I like about 95% of wam's D2 content, with the only slight issue being his switch to Makhaira, and even that's defensible: I remember reading BoomFrog's late D2 content and feeling swung by it too, so it's completely understandble town!wam could have been too. In fact, I don't think scum!wam goes into D2 with an outright bus and then swings away from him late.
D3:
Spoiler (Show/Hide)
Post 1: Agrees with Mak that Eido town, asks why phillip? Can't provide convincing reason why it's not him. Wants to reread BF post, looking for interactions.
Basically, I think wam is Town, although claims will be interesting to see.
somi correctly claimed the fruit vendor targeted me N3. The only thing odd is that he talks about a breadcrumb, but despite saying what he crumbed, I cannot for the life of me see it in his opening post.
