Wow I was just typing up a rely where I argued that we should instead let Joh go and lynch sudgy instead, and a day vig happens in that time:
Anyway, I am a Miller. Now, you might ask why the heck I picked a kind of Miller over Werewolf. I always get lynched, so I thought if I discarded a scum role, I would be less likely to get lynched. That said, townread on everybody who discarded scum, and wary scumread on everybody who discarded a strong town role.
I don't believe this claim. Picking Miller just sows discord, it's basically a form of mild suicide, making you more likely to lose. Then there's the stress attached to the role of having to defend yourself. And Werewolf is a social role, something that should weighed pretty heavily. My conclusion is that sudgy got to pick between two scum roles and he picked the better of the two.
Joth should've shot sudgy if he was going to shoot anyone to "prove" himself.
But let's weigh the mason-day vig choice he had. Being a mason allows you to rule out a few people from being scum (alright, there's the werewolf mason, but it's a 1/8 thing). And again, it's a social role allowing you a back channel to talk about the game, I find that that's a fun thing to do. A day vigilante For town is like a minor utility role at best, but for scum 1 shot day vig is pretty useful, an extra kill whenever they need to get out ahead. Being a day vig allows you to prove your ability (but not your alignment).
You might think I'd keep my vote on Joth. A suspicious role decision, a suspicious day kill. Wrong. He's used his power up, and is basically a goon (assuming he isn't Reloaded tonight). We can let the Night take care of him, or lynch him tomorrow if he makes it that far. Letting scum off the hook is a pretty poor decision, but the thing is that we have sudgy, who is admittedly slightly less suspicious, but more of an unknown and therefore more dangerous.
Vote: sudgy
This second day vig is like the best outcome ever (assuming it goes through). And Joseph is looking pretty town-y. However it is
possible for Joseph to be the Mafia day vig, and Joh to be one of the two Town day vigs, but then again why would Joseph waste his ability on someone who is essentially a vanilla townie? We'll see what happens.
Anyway, I standby lynching sudgy today.
Vote: sudgy
