First off, sorry about the inactivity. Pokemon+FFXV+finals = little drive for mafia.
Seems like a typical early-mafia kill to me, targeting a player that more than likely won't be the recipient of protection. The fact that a more established player wasn't axed off immediately does point towards certain players meta that I've gotten to know from either being mafia with them, or reading the chat logs post-game. It's nothing concrete, but I've definitely noticed a pattern in games.
Indication of a very passive mafia that will probably err on the inactive side. It's common for scum to avoid extreme RVSing in order to prevent themselves from being put in the spotlight. Players hovering around the 3rd-4th vote on an early bandwagon are usually worth looking into, especially if they've contributed next to nothing prior to the vote. Not having that means I'm most suspicious of the less proactive players in this game.
Doc is an interesting specimen. The two games I've played with him, he's been scum and laid super low, a meta much in line with how the game has played out so far. It's more just his playstyle from what I'm able to gather, which is a problematic one to begin with on top of my prior experiences. I don't have an opinion on Toxic at the momet.
This is an interesting reply that I think merits keeping in mind for the future. I do appreciate your activity so far, Moonstone.
Hah, I have a scum lean on you like every game. I've been paranoid ever since your survival performance in that Majora's Mask game all those years ago.
Mido was feeling a little pressure there early in the RVS day, I can tell looking back. It's not fun getting your head chopped off day one, so I can't really blame him turning the discussion towards true scum hunting. I think evaluating that with the context of the other Mido post I quoted above does make his actions appear problematic. I do, however, remember thinking the exact same thing back in Avengers and really regretting it later. I don't think he's an ideal lynch candidate for today.
karu is tricky, because new players are by far the hardest to read and their actions don't always indicate one thing or another due to inexperience. I always lean on giving them the benefit of the doubt earlier on in the game, although other players like Go_Dark_Link have definitely proven this to be a mistake in the past. Still, day two is too early to lynch them now, I think.
Everything I've seen so far is pointing me towards a vote for Doc, because I feel like I've already done this dance before and it never changes.
Interesting choice of Nightkill. I didn't see anything that stood out about Minish that may make her seem like a threat, but that could be why the mafia decided to kill her, to throw us off. Aside from her, the only other person that voted for Din was Mido, but I don't see that as a suspicious move because by the time the day was over, it was the best move to make.

One thing that bugged me a bit about yesterday's lynch is that I personally expected more players to jump on such a lynch given the easy opportunity. It would have made for an easy lynch for the Mafia to secure of any of the members jumped on the wagon; however, it seems none did. I have to give it to the scum team this round; that was a good move. What do the rest of you think about this phenomenon?

@Ver-go-a-go-go [If I could edit, i'd say VerGAGG but still] How do you feel about Doc or Toxic Snowman?

If Mido is actually innocent do you plan to hold it against me no matter what or are you still open minded? I think I've been very fair in my assessment of him. To be fair, his activity is a little suspicious.

Regarding DekuNut, I tend to have a scum lean on him from the start, which is not good practice for conducting any sort of read as a general thing (I sort of do the same thing with Vergo in mafia games, except as town, but as I said before, it's not very good practice).
