Hmm... I'm still unsure about how many scum there are... I believe it's 2 or 3 left atm, which means we may be at mylo (if 3 scum left), but then again maybe not. I'm unsure if the host announces when it's mylo/lylo or not, but I think it's more likely at this point for there to be 2 scum, but I honestly have no clue. It's honestly up to you guys on whether or not you're willing to play as if it's mylo or not... I don't think it's necessary yet, but I may change my mind if enough people think we should be playing that way
Huh, wow, I'd never have even thought about this. According to the OP, there are 8 live players. If there are 3 scum, that means that there are 5 townies, and so if we mislynch today, one of those townies will die bringing the total number to 3, and then a successful NK will bring it down to 3 townies, making the scum win. However, our doctor isn't dead yet, and there's a fair chance we've got a hooker too; a successful NK isn't by any means a certainty. Maybe this is why the hosts haven't announced MYLO if there are 3 mafia, but generally hosts announce MYLO based on numbers and not roles, so I'm not sure. I think it's safe to say that there's only 2 mafia right now, but we can't know for definite (unless the hosts confirm it, of course ;)).
While checking the live players list, I noticed this: "Day 2: Haunted Diamond - Legion Role Cop". "Role Cop"? That's the name of the role which finds out the role (meaning action, e.g watcher, vanilla) of another player. Are we sure that HD just inspected the name of the Role PM? It seems fairly useless as it only tells the mafia about flavour...

Dear Haunted Diamond,
you are
Vulpes Inculta.
“Whenever the opportunity presents, strike at the profligates. Pile body upon body.”
You are the leader of the Frumentarii, Caesar’s army of spies that keep an eye on the Mojave and execute acts of terror. You are behind one of the greatest atrocities of the Legion yet, holding a lottery in the town of Nipton to determine who gets to live, and who will be nailed to a cross. In the end, there are only two survivors. Besides your cunning, the most recognizable thing about you is the dead fox you wear on your head.
You are the
Legion Role Cop. Every night, you may send a PM to the hosts, titled “Night X - Spy on <USER>’’. Successfully doing so will grant you the role name of the user you targeted.
As a member of the Legion, you are allowed to talk to your fellow bad-guys in The Fort, which is the conversation on Smogon going by the same name.
You are allied with Caesar’s Legion. You win when the Legion eliminates the Wastelanders, or if nothing can prevent the same.
Well finding the actual Role PM... didn't actually clear up anything. What does role name mean in this case? Generally role name refers to the name of the character the role PM is based on (in this case Vulpes Inculta) but that's just utterly useless, which is especially stupid because it seems likely that there's only 3 mafia in this game, and one of those is a post restrictor!
More Cowbell Gale Wing Srock, could either of you clear this up a bit please?
Anyway, these are the live players:
Ullar Mithril
Celever
Jalmont
vonFiedler
PokeguyNXB
Fatecrashers
rssp1 Odd Ghost
Spiffy
Truth be told, I don't have a scum read on any of these players, which isn't useful since there are 2-3 scum in the lot. I'm going to rank them from towniest to scummiest and lynch who I think is the least town... And I'll provide reasoning afterwards, of course.
Celever
Spiffy
Fatecrashers
PokeguyNXB
Jalmont
vonFiedler
rssp1 Odd Ghost
Ullar Mithril
Celever ~ Well,
I know that I'm town, you guys don't. Naturally on my list I'm the towniest, though.
Spiffy ~ Is the BPV. I would find him much scummier if this weren't an almost confirmed fact (either above or below von, I'm not sure right now).
Fatecrashers ~ I'm not sure, really. There's just... nothing scummy that I've found about him. Maybe a few odd plays (e.g lynching HD because defending him would make Fate look scummier seeing as how HD had buddied him before) but there's nothing he's done which can't be justified from a townie's perspective, and he's been consistent in his play throughout the game. He reminds me a bit of Ace Emerald in Great Idea Mafia, who was a really obvious townie. Quite surprised at the amount of suspicion cast on him TBH.
PokeguyNXB ~ Like I've said before, i just find his posts incredibly sincere which I think would be too difficult to pull off as scum, especially for a relatively new player. He's also put in more of an effort recently to improve actual substance in his posts too. IDK, I think of him as town. /me shrug
Jalmont ~ Jalmont is actually also playing well IMO. His D1 gambit to create discussion was actually a good idea IMO, though it certainly seems like an unpopular opinion. He does seem more interested in the game than normal, which
could be a scumtell, but something's telling me it's not. Probably because I'm having a lot of fun with this game, so Jalmont could quite easily be too! :p
vonFiedler ~ von's an odd case here. He seems really angry and quick to defend himself, which are often scumtells, but it's just von's personality from what I've played with him. He hasn't done anything particularly townie and he's definitely a fairly argumentative players, but I don't know whether this is an indication of him being scum or what. It's confusing >~<
rssp1 Odd Ghost ~ This is very simple. rssp was a fantastic contributor when he was active, but said activity did die fairly quickly (he started lurking a lot more than he did the day he was subbed in) and this can be an indication of scum, but rssp also could have simply run into things he needed to spend his time with IRL. The problem is that I don't like Odd Ghost's play thus far at all. I just find it scummy... But I don't know Odd Ghost at all. rssp is remedying Odd Ghost's play for me rn, but we'll see what I think of him throughout the day.
Ullar Mithril ~ These two are currently at the bottom of my townie list, but it's just because I haven't seen them do anything extraordindary. I'm held back by the fact that Ullar never does anything extraordinary, and I don't know Mithril's play style at all. Mithril has been fairly solid thus far, though a lot of this is through reiteration from more trusted town players from Spiffy IIRC. While these two are my scummiest, this is because I really don't have a very large read on them, because while Mithril hasn't done anything spectacular, he HAS been very solid and consistent, which I also mentioned in Fate's description, and he was my highest town read based on actions alone.
I think that, even though at the top of these reads I said that I would vote for the person at the bottom of the townie list, I actually would rather lynch Odd Ghost. rssp1 was a very good town contributor, but I'm very interested in observing Odd Ghost over the course of this day, especially if he has some pressure on him, so...
Lynch Odd Ghost.
I'll try to do post analysis later on if people think it'd be helpful, but it's really boring and probably won't amount to anything if I do it in the long run because I have such a positive outlook on all of the players in the game right now anyway.
