Mod thoughts, after 5 game days:
Town looked to be doing really good with knowing both Amon and the Serial Killer, really too bad for the towns that the Reload hit when it did. Though they still lucked out with twelve choosing that particular night to bond with Bliss and so tracking Amon through the alt shuffle.
However, we're getting now into the period of more recruiting and more kills flying around. Eriksonians are already taking a big hit, but the Esslemonts are staying alive very well for such a large group. As much as there are some nasty power roles being saved for last amongst them, the towns really need to get their finders going if they want to whittle down the scum enough to have a chance in the end game. Stalker, Azath and Silencer have all been failing to submit NAs, and they're going to suffer for it in a few days when a few more townies have been recruited and the rest still have no idea who the killers are. Obdi, GH and twelve have been doing well with their limited/soft finds though and can hopefully make up for some of that. A mass finder reveal of scum roles when the Maya or Highlander roles become active is one of those combinations of roles that could completely change the game.
On the scum side, the Meyerns have had some bad luck and are looking a bit weak, but they are still very much in there. Bliss knowing her shields and having a long stretch of NKs should keep their offensive abilities going, but they don't have else. Blend is on his last life and effectively an RI, Kurt is down 2 lives as well, and Venge only has a townsman's strength, while Starling continues to fail to put in NAs - it is day 6 and she still hasn't made a single FM jump. KL joining them with her Inigo and Master Soother roles could help a lot, though.
The Goodkinders, on the other hand, are doing very, very well. They are almost entirely off everyone's radars and have only had one weak role lost, so far. Bubba's Necromancer role is veeery strong, even with the restraints we put on it, and Gnaw has been doing very well at getting his kills in. Lizra is chewing people apart, though I can't help but think she didn't remember the rest of her role PM as she hasn't used the one-time double-poison yet (and why wait, you might die before you can).
The Dude is doing great, too, and at this point pretty much has enough defenses that he'll never get hit with enough things at once to kill him unless Hiro finds him or a finder reveals him.
And lastly dkt is being himself and so far not dying too much. Only the Eriksonians have any chance of recruiting Bella still, but Tattersail is doing very good at not attracting NAs so he can get his enticement points up there. 10 is a lot to get, though.
Overall, a lot of people are playing very well, both at on-thread hunting and using NAs effectively. I would weight things a bit in favour of town and the serial killer at the moment, mostly because the scum factions are doing well at killing each other
On the other hand, people really need to do some research more! ie the Eriksonians who were told their leader was Pinhead could've looked him up and realized they can distract him from his NKs. or if someone looked up the Necromancer role and posted on-thread they'd know how crazy it is and would not be hesitating to lynch Korlat!
But most important of all people seem to be having FUN so things seem good so far!
I am soooo hoping that Lizra's minigun tokens land a bunch of hits at the same time as the Squid Festival tomorrow night and we get a ludicrous number of deaths. That will really shake up the game

Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.
