Some more in depth reads. Basically, they are the same as earlier but I want to add to them while there is a lull in activity.
Pie- Pie feels pretty townie to me. Especially in light of how inactive this game in, mafia really have the oppertunity to fly under the radar. Pie is basically leading the town in a way that feels like he is genuinely interested in cracking the case, like a real detective. He's been argumentative as usual, but I don't really feel like he has been super tunnel vision either. He has mentioned being suspicious of supa but even despite his scum read is going through the list and making sure everyone is playing their part. Him going after Barney feels even more town to me, because he isn't letting him get off the hook. Which he could totally just do and pursue his read of supa right now instead if he wanted. If he was scum pursuing a mislynch hes targetting someone I feel would be a bit harder to achieve a mislynch in here, as he could easily try and focus on moozer or supa here (I DO suspect both). He's giving barney ample time to respond and isn't taking bullshit. If pie was scum here he is going the absolute hardest route possible for no reason when he can take the easy route. Im fine with giving pie my financial support and look at him as the town leader at the moment.
Earth- I don't have any reason to doubt earths ability to grant cop powers or whatever he can do at the moment, simply because we know there was a flipped role in the graveyard with a miller modifier. He can be in my town pile.
Whiteflame- I am always suspicious of whiteflame, so I think I can be justified in saying that he shouldn't be completely removed as a suspect just because he confirmed earth. Mafia would have incentive to comply with town by confirming them too, and he could think it would give him town cred to do so. But atm I null read him, and will keep an eye on his behavior. I find his insight pretty invaluable regardless, so atm I don't have any immediate reason to suspect him.
Supa- I don't wanna keep going down this rabbit hole, I've said everything I can really say about him and its gotten to the point of repetitiveness. Ultimately I thought the flip flop on joebob was suspicious. The only reason I am semi dropping it is that supa has since revealed there may have been role reasons that attribute to his decision, which could justify him completely. Until I know what he is and why his role pm made him suspect joebob though, I am keeping him as scum. I think we will get to his full claim soon after barney's.
Moozer- This dude has basically been ignoring everyone, and feels he can get away with playing without attributing anything but his claim. I don't like that and I think it's the perfect play for mafia. Hell if I was scum and had a noob on my team I might even tell him to play that way and purposefully skate under the radar. Its fishy as hell, and he is pretty high on the radar.
Barney- Barney is someone I actually didn't suspect in iLikePie's game at all. Like 0 suspicion whatsoever. I tried guessing who scum where after I was night killed in that game and I am not even kidding you he was legit like my last guess. So naturally I am little bit more guarded on him. Lately he's kind of had this aggressive "leave me alone i'll post when the fvck I feel like it" vibe going on. I sympethize with having real life come before a game. But at the end of the day he hasn't really provided a ton of game solving strategy to the game that I would expect from him if he was town. And it's not like he's completely inactive either. He's online and posting, but virtually giving nothing with each post. It's not what I would expect out of a townie who is trying to solve a game. I can see his role as maybe a hint towards a protective role but I can also see why pie thinks it could be roleblocker as well. At any rate, I think scum would have a hard time coming up with fake claims in this game, and this feels for better or worse like an actual claim even if he is scum. Makes me wonder if the theme split is strategy vs chess concepts or something like that if barney is actually scum.
I think barney is highest on my radar, with supa or moozer coming in close second. Supa claims his role is confirmable. Role confirmation =/= affiliation confirmation, but it is something to take into account.
But yeah I think at least one scum is somewhere in those three people.
