Okay, got all my data added.
So, basically, here's what we know for sure.

Lord of Castamere
Possible scum:

I think it most likely was Stan. I said from the beginning that anyone who even joked about being scum while under hypnosis had to be lynched. Stan still made the joke. There wasn't much else he could do as scum. He had to claim but if he wanted to do it in a way so that some might be inclined to talk themselves out of the lynch or his teammates might try and talk us out, a joke had to be it. No reason whatsoever for town to do this.
Moreover, why I'm inclined to believe CM: he never claimed a second target. From the beginning he was dodgy about clearing anyone with his cop check or even saying something like what night he actually checked Stan (IIRC, although we would assume it would be N2). As scum, giving a fake clear is the easiest shit in the world. Especially in this game, even if you flat out lied town wouldn't really be able to know since we don't get flips. So why not throw in a clear to make the claim more believable? Because he really did have some kind of plan, I think, though we may never know what it was.
CB I don't think was a terrible lynch, but I'm inclined now to think he just wasn't keeping up rather than deliberately obfuscating.
Trigger countered with a full claim. Not in scum's best interest to counter the cop. We could WIFOM into a why, but it's unlikely. More interesting here though, is why scum didn't try and NK Trigger last night? Worry from the doctor? Hard to say, but leaving the cop alive is ballsy. They couldn't count on the neutral even if the neutral would want him dead.
Anyway, any of those four could be the scum. I very much believe it was stan. Scum has been having a very lucky game. No crossed targets, no lynching or NK of the neutral targets. And the scum we (probably) got was also very lucky. CM didn't have to fake claim, but he did probably actually hit scum with hypnosis. So lucky us.
This leaves us with:
hey_monkey: cop cleared. trying to argue off of the extremely likely scum exposure. the excuse of not being sure doesn't fly with me because we just finished love boat 2, where the number one lesson should be lynch suspicious crap and don't let town hookers live. hypnotized people claiming scum as a "joke" are town hookers. lynch them. reserving judgement for now but as i said yesterday, not impressed with that.
nin1000: no strong thoughts, doing this list off the top of my head. i said earlier that i really appreciated the turbo, but then he did it in the most clueless and actually kind of shady way possible so i don't really like that aspect. something for me to look into.
muffin1611: not a lot of thoughts off the top of my head. pretty good feeling.
isaacnukem: strange to see this spike in activity but not necessarily alignment indicative. if you've got more free time, that's great.
kitsunelaine: saw, you asked me for a read. i don't have many deep reads right now. kits is playing a lot like lb, where she was my scum partner. she's been under very light pressure this game though. worth pursuing today.
oreomunsta: i still feel good about oreo. if he is trying to misdirect town, he's doing it very naturally. while i still think that he and i came to the wrong conclusions day 1, I think we were both doing it with the proper spirit. town read.
sawneeks: my other scum buddy from a few weeks back. was a bit nervous at first, as i saw some play that reminded me of lb but that feeling has faded. i need to read over again to make sure i didn't just miss anything, but i feel pretty good about saw so far. i could go into more detail but i'd rather not really coach it one way or another.
rac: don't have a big read on rac. neutral to good feelings.
flatearthpandas: it'sa me.
Anyway, three of these people are scum. I need to do some deeper reads on some and I still haven't given much thought to voting patterns yet for today.
Looking at D2, I think it's pretty unlikely that nin, stan, and kits are all a scum team. Otherwise that is some unprecedented fuckery and I tip my hats to them. Both Stan and Nin were on kits at the end of the day. Both Stan and Kits were on Nin at some people. Stan jumped off before kits voted however.
CM was on stan the whole time basically. Easy to buy that he would have hypnotized that night since he couldn't get traction.
I would say I'm more inclined to believe scum team was Stan, Kits, and ?? (not nin). Although both kits and stan shared a vote on me d1 which would be unusual behavior, kits was a joke vote and stan was pressuring in a fairly townie way.
Vote: Kitsunelaine
I'm calling scum. Very similar to the scum play I'm intimately familiar with. And then the nin vote yesterday. I'll reread the nin case today but really yesterday it was just not going to happen. The somehow missing that a cop check had happened is kind of good vibes because scum shouldn't be doing things like that... of course town shouldn't either. But the second nin vote. That was scum as hell and those excuses don't fly. Contested claims, blatant anti-town shit coming from all sides, there is no case to be made for a third party. At least, not at that time. However, monkey was basically the same except pushing a much more dangerous target i.e. one that could actually potentially swing people off of stan. Trigger was also there but I'm pretty sure he was town. Stan was on that vote as well.
So let's pretend trigger was just a miffed cop really not having the fake claim. Scum still kind of wants to protect stan if possible... I guess. Seems dumb but whatever. Monkey is godfather with the green check, even easier to team up with trigger who checked her and jump on the CM vote. Stan obviously votes for preservation, even though he supposedly had given up and that's why it was okay to joke about being scum in the hypnosis state. Nah. He was in the game, he had given up because he was exposed but still going through the motions. Anyway, scum kits can't really jump on this suicide protection. Has no coaching from a team, but doesn't want to contribute to teammate lynch. Continues the nin hate, where coincidentally stan had also tossed his vote. Reads alright to me.
Neutral is of course on the stan vote. Stan isn't burrowed, is exposed scum, neutral wants that motherfucker dead. Isaac, feps, saw are most likely neutrals imo. It ain't me.
Oh right, great news everyone! We had bad luck with scum targets but we actually have decent info on the neutral now. It wasn't that, but I'll get into that later.
If either monkey or kits are not scum, I would say third scum is also on the stan vote. That could be anyone on there tbh. No one is clear on that.
Anyway, I'll leave my vote on kits now but kind of talked my way partially out of it as I went. There's a case there but... yeah, enough to leave the vote for now. Saw, if you have suspicions you should make a case. I'm hunting arsonists today. If I don't find one, I feel fairly confident can still get mafia with a kits lynch.
