Hey everybody, good to be back.
I've been feeling like I wanted to play Mafia for a few weeks, and lightly following recent games (including this one), so I'm conveniently already caught-up, though I may have skimmed a few things. I may try to go back over stuff at some point, but no promises.
I think O, Teproc, and Galzria all seem townie based on what's happened today so far. I can see Galz's proposed scum-narrative for O, I just don't think it's correct. I think before he really fleshed it out, it seemed super far-fetched to me, but O conveniently had several votes, which made his wagon tempting for scum. And DatSwan joined that wagon, at that time, with false reasoning (self-admitted trying to convince oneself). This makes DatSwan my top scum-read at the moment.
Other things going on: mcmc v. Robz. mcmc has compelling arguments, which gives me a slight scum-read on Robz, but enough other people seem to think that mcmc is good enough as scum to pull that off.
I will note that mcmc's reasoning-to-Robz about lynching him if he's active is bad. Although it's true that we have an extra non-death situation that could not harm town, due to numbers, it could also super-help town. In odd-count games, a successful protection doesn't buy you an extra day...here it would. So, even if Robz is active, and was willing to be lynched, it would not IMO be to town's benefit. Besides which, a policy-lynch grants so little information. With that, mcmc comes off a little scummy for suggesting it, but not overwhelmingly so.
There's some other people in the game, and it's good not to lose track of people. Gkrieg, I read as scum day1, but have since glanced at another of his games where I also read him as scum, and he was town (I think this happened, and I'm not just attributing day2 stuff). Given how day2 has gone so far he seems townie to me. IDontPlayThisGame is in this game...nothing stands out, I can see scum here. ash was LA for a bit, I think? He seems less of a driving force in this game than I'm used to...but that's a couple years old meta-read. I'm going to stick with neutral there. Eevee is a weak town-read, gut-feeling. EFHW is a null-read at this point.
tl;dr
Scum-read:
DatSwan (vote: DatSwan)
Slight Scum:
IDPTG, mcmc, Robz
Neutral:
ash, Eevee, EFHW
Town:
O, Teproc, Galzria, Gkrieg
