I don't really *get* the role. Seems damaging to town for nothing. If I get lynched in the natural course of the game, the reads that I left behind would be reviewed retroactively as coming from a town perspective.
This role more or less ensures town one less player for nothing in return.
It's my feeling that as a VT, it's your goal to draw the night kill. I would think a miller could be played the same way. In my mind the best strategy would be to hint at a non-specific PR to do so. If you survive to the end game, you could end up badly hurting town, so trying to draw a kill is probably optimum.

I'm p sure there could be daychat if there's an encryptor.
Also i'm p sure that claim comes from town
It's easy to get fooled by a player that likes newbtelling left and right but it's easy to see it's extremely forced here.
My limited experience with Mary Jo is that a lot of things she says sounds forced. She’s like a self-inflicting grammer Nazi at times.

I don't understand the problem you're having really, she can read the advice on how to play without getting the role of a miller in a setup
Even if it's just before? I'm fairly sure town!MJL would have read the thing just on top and asked more questions about the place of a miller in a setup but in here she acted confused. That's how I feel about the slot anyway.
A part of me can’t really place it right but I think this is a valid point. Mary Jo strikes me as more of the analytical type. Someone who is vastly more in the element when solving the game through night actions, role claims, and flavor (when applicable).

I'd also be fine with a quick lynch if it's in town's best interest.
I'm a regular vig, I can shoot any time I want. I'll just shoot you tonight.
Who's the scum?
The mind game that Nom was attempting to run here doesn’t really come from scum in my opinion. He’s not looking to take advantage of her trust or beat her at some contest.

i don't see why this doesn't come from scum and i dislike his push on her; it's hard to explain but it doesn't feel like it comes from a ~real~ thought process so much as he's looking for a reason to push her

What part about my push doesn't feel like a real thought process?
