So, I'm finishing this, and at one point I go and check my role PM (for the first time since I replaced in) and realize "Oh hell...I could have hammered a long time ago without fear." Why? I'm an Even-Night Commuter, same as Amrun (though a different animal). Suck it scum, I'm surviving tonight to pressure you tomorrow.
Okay! Here we go. I'll try to keep this a tolerable length.
I find that picking over little things from early pages in a game this big to be pointless. I'll mostly be sticking to broad impressions, reads, summaries, and important points.
This stuck out to me in light of our current situation:

->The Mafia didn't have the usual wincon, they had a "collect the colors of the rainbow" wincon.
->They had to absorb a Townie's colors by poisoning them(ie. NK'd player shows up as poinsoned the next day, dies at the end of the phase.). Not sure if this game had something like that currently, but I think that the absorption thing is inherently here.
I usually try not to out-guess the mod, but I'd have to say that this is likely the inspiration for mb's claimed role. Whether it is genuinely harmless third party, anti-Town third party, a fakeclaim modified from the Mafia wincon, or a fakeclaim simply inspired by the Rainbow Unicorn game, we cannot afford to take the risk. I'll be hammering at the end of this post.
Vezok
-Early fishing about goodies/not understanding how goodies (the "donation" bit) suggests to me that he does not have goodies and does not have a partner with goodies. Our one flipped scum had goodies, but may not have been able to relate anything about mechanics before Night 0 ended. NS suspected him, but probably some version of Town Vanilla. Ehhh...others have explained a Town read on him, I'll not belabor it.
Zyrconium
-Either confirmed Cop (Zyrconium had no real reason to bus) or PR-hunting scum. Maybe rolecop to have nailed an opposing anti-Town role? mb's flip will tell.
mb53
-Third party (in which case Zyrconium is lying scum, Cops don't get guilty reads on Third Parties) or scum.
Hazard
-I believe his D1 claim for now. That may color my subsequent read of him, but...think of this as a scum fakeclaim. Having one fairly plain, conditionally-PR role like visitor implies there could be multiple of the same. Three is a nice number for this, which would put us at TS, Kalofer, Hazard. Claiming this on D1 would be risky for scum, because if two flipped (and they did) then the third would start thinking that four might be pushing it. There's no CC out there. Also, I've played with Hazard as Town before and this fits with that performance.
Hoppster
-Scum. I'll be pushing him hard tomorrow. Stels, Amrun and Kalofer suspected him, NS to a lesser degree. I've played with and against Hoppster when he was scum before, and this is reminding me eerily of the first game I played against him, when I was Town and he was Mafia. My first read-through, I had a solid Town-read. Then the suspicion of Amrun and Kalofer (both of our NKs) on him in their ISO had me rethink it. Overeagerness to get rid of mb and his hammer of CP seem suspiciously designed to gain Townpoints.
Morthas
-Has been EXCEEDINGLY cautious with his vote. From what I've seen, Town generally are more willing to use their vote as a tool and throw it around more readily. Also has a tendancy to push a case, back off, and let others do the dirty work. Tunneling on Hazard is classic scum pushing a scummy Townie.
ToastyToast
-What the fuck was that vote on mb? The reasoning for NOT putting mb at L-1 was VERY clear. Town wouldn't be that dumb. Scum definitely wouldn't be that dumb. And that's why I think it probably WAS a scum move. All the real Townies just backed off, but TT did the WIFOM-laden "scum would never be this stupid" move. In general, I have been overwhelmed by the feeling of "meh" I get from his performance this game. There's a strong sense of treading water without doing much of significance or boldness.
Remaining scum is in {Hoppster, TT, Morthas}. I suggest we lynch in that order for the win, but flip and NK have to be taken into account.
