So I've managed to get through reading most of Day 1. I've skipped around for the rest, though I'm going to try to finish fully reading everything before today is out. We're in a dangerous position here, considering we've lost so many townies...but this should also give us information to act on.
Soldier of Link's list shouldn't be blindly followed, but it also most definitely shouldn't be ignored. On the one hand, she was a vanilla townie, which means she really didn't have access to any more information than most of us do. On the other hand, it can't hurt to try and take what she said seriously. Though Hero of Time's status as a Townie is a bit damning.

I'm not sure that debating which roles correspond to the theme is that helpful. Yes there is probably a vig, SK and the mafia. That's about as much useful info as can be gleaned. Debating whether or not the Pikachu is owned by Ash is not in the slightest bit going to help us hunt scum.
My initial reaction was the same. The fact is, however, that we've been trying to determine what roles were in play here from day 1, and I suppose it could be beneficial. It's good to know exactly what we're up against, and should help to interpret behavior. It's all relevant information, as people are given specific, identifiable roles for a reason.
Also, the types of Pokemon used are hints dropped every time someone is nightkilled. It's part of the well of new information we have access to. It'd be a shame to abandon that.
