I don't really have any different takes coming in to today I guess, my confidence in my Mafia playing abilities has shot way down the past couple games and that D1 did not help me much with how angry I got about Coolest's play and how that turned out, so I'm just going to try to hang back and see if anything sticks out to me this phase.
The D1 votes are hard for me to parse, but I do think there are some sketchy looking ones at least. Kopite's and Kalor's in particular stand out to me on the Coolest train but so does Bae's and Stu's. And of course, LP didn't vote, so side eye on him. I don't feel the best about Nin's self vote but it also lines up with something Nin would probably do, so meh. Kits on Soneji sticks out to me as well.
Vote: Kopite
This is where I would have gone yesterday if Coolest wasn't asking to be lunched.
Coolest play has been extremely questionable (way before the day vig claim) and then he pops up with a vote on me for no reason. D1 often ends with town lunches, but even if CS ends up being town it's a good lunch. If his flip verifies his claim it can support the idea that Zeke fake claimed as well to blend in with town.
vote: CoolestSpot
This vote felt like a really sketchy one, like trying to justify placing it by pointing out that Coolest voted for him. The justifications for a Coolest vote were all out by that point, so it felt like an unnecessary addition to me I guess.
Nevermind I guess lol.

I also wouldn't mind going for Kalor at the moment though, he was extremely quiet yesterday, only 9 posts.
Vote: Kalor
I'm shocked that CS was lying, shocked!
I'm not sure if we should lynch CS today or not. Town win condition mentions getting rid of all threats to town so we'll need to get rid of them eventually.
We need to kill the neutral eventually. It provides an easy cover but we always risk CS lying about their role, and I doubt the momentum will shift towards another candidate.
Vote: CoolestSpot
And these ones felt particularly sketchy to me. Talking about not being sure if we should vote out Coolest yesterday, but then saying "oh, well we do need to get rid of all threats to Town" feels like some waffling.
I don't know though, I'm probably just sitting here being biased by them having the fewest posts of everyone.
For people with more than 10 posts, I would look at Bae, Sparks, Kits I guess, in that order. Bae's play on D1 was almost indistinguishable from how she was as Scum in the last two games she played, so we'll see what she has today. Sparks was openly sheeping other people's reads, which isn't that uncommon for him, but it's still suspicious behavior. Kits was pretty aggro at any suggestion that she might be acting suspicious, which is also suspicious at the least.
Stu could easily be Scum as well, feels like he hasn't had much of a fire in him yet, or at least no reads that he feels particularly strongly about, which makes me think he could be Scum if that continues.
