My reads so far on the players who have posted.
Trundle
Running for Mayor. Concerned that he feels the need to state that he plans to find mafia asap, especially when he implies he only does it to clear himself. You should be aiming to find mafia asap no matter what, and you don't do it to clear yourself, you do it to so you have frames of reference to read people's filters around. The post strikes me as selfish and having the wrong idea about being Mayor, but not scummy.
Cory
****posting, nothing new.
Superpenguin
His attempt to manipulate the wotc vote has no relevance to the game and finding scum. His plan, although flawed, provided some good talking points. Town read on him for now.
MrKisstoefur
****posting. Weak "campaign". Lacking the basic understanding of how the roles work. Calls Superpenguin for making a strong push to be elected. Classic deconstructive posting. Fenced leaning towards scum. Step your game up.
Kippla
Asked a good question. I don't understand why Trundle said the question sucked.
Sataric
My first scum read. Very cautious posting that takes no stand on any of the current topics of discussion. Of all the people to push for Mayor, you choose Kisstoefur, who has posted absolutely nothing insightful? Get real.
Purplpanda
Campaigning on the base of some very flawed logic. Mayor role brings two things: protection and a platform. A weak town player who doesn't threaten scum needs and deserves neither. Later they post implying that they ARE good at finding mafia. I don't like this inconsistency so I'm fenced on purplpanda.
Karen
Fenced, leaning towards scum. Doesn't want a strong Mayor, because they could be scum. This is weak thinking, town has no place for mediocrity. Strong players = better at hiding as scum? Strong players also = better at finding scum. Shuts down all the currently discussed plan, suggests doing what Town did in Bioshock mafia. Why don't you expand on that, for those people who didn't follow the game?
When she answers my question of what the mayor role should be ("
good at posting cases and contributing to the thread, a person that would be a huge loss to town if he/she got killed."), she basically describes a strong player. Now she's flipflopping between the candidates. There's no consistency whatsoever in her posts.
Andelsky
Makes a good post about not causing pointless drama, which is exactly what happened overnight. I'd like to see more posts from you. What are your thoughts on Sataric, and on my fenced/scum reads?
Kaiaa
Poor reasoning once again.
Non-town aligned strong players running for mayor means a guaranteed protection at night until bodyguard is dead which could spell disaster for everyone else. It would be stupid for bodyguard to come out and say who they are so Mayor position is something mafia/third party would be striving for.
Town's #1 method of killing scum has always been lynching. As a scum mayor, you have an even harder job of maintaining congruency between your real objective, and your fake objective, because all eyes are on you. You are just as vulnerable to being lynched. Protection against night kills is a very minor bonus if you're scum, since the biggest source of night kills ARE FROM SCUM. Fenced.
Specific reads on people aside, I'm disappointed that so many posts have been non-constructive attacks on each other's campaigns from the main campaigners and their supporters (I'm looking at Trundle, Ashtot, SP).

Oh and to expand on my reads,
Jeremy pops in with a snipe at Trundle, and
Tom is just gently cruising by this game. I want more from you. What are your thoughts on Sataric and Karen? Same applies to all the other players, I want to hear your thoughts.
