Real quick 'cause I'm running late.

I'll have my phone today, and will be reading anytime I get a chance to try to stay up to date, but I don't think I'll be able to respond that much. I'll declare my shot in the same post as my EoD vote. I've been re-reading since noon (it's 2:40 now), and have regained some feel for the game and a few pages of notes in the process. Right now, it's looking likely that I will shoot from the following:

2. Hakulyte
5. danceflashrevo
9. psychoangel691
13. XelNya
14. Juckter1

This list is still determinant on the posts of everyone throughout EoD, but I like it enough to find it unlikely that I'll stray from it.
Things to note about people off the list:

Precarious is town. His posts, his analyses, his tone, everything he's done is town and has helped town.

Zenith is really strong as a wolf, and has fooled me once before where I had him as one of my top towns, so it's important to keep an eye on him and not become too trusting as the game goes on. His posts to date have been good, though, so I'm not shooting him. In later phases, remember to keep an eye on him if I'm not around.

Roundbox has been playing a good towngame since EoD. I'm not too familiar with his town game, though, so I don't know if this fits within the scope of his meta. I did play with Wolf Roundbox in BOATS, though, and there are some similarities to be noted. It was interesting to see him reference that game himself, though, in bringing up the last time he did a "follow the vote". That could be an attempt to get in front of any correlation people could draw, but he's been contributing enough solid stuff to where I won't touch him.

MML had a really poor entrance, imo, where it seemed as though he was doing anything he possibly could to call everyone else into doubt in order to obfuscate his own role. Given that botchi was one of the two lynch options, and he had pressure on him, it is also possible that his entrance was merely an attempt to defend himself by calling out the people attacking his predecessor. This isn't enough to shoot him, since I can see him posting like that being motivated by either town or scum intentions. What's really saving him from being on the shootlist is that botchi actually looks good on re-read, so let's see how MML pans out.

mellon was on the list, then off the list, then on it, then off again. Her tone reads pure, and her logic is natural. The thing bothering me most about her is that she hasn't done much to date, and what posts she did have were mostly in regards to posts and players that had addressed her.

Charu's been posting a lot better in the last 24 hours. I like your prodding, birdfriend (despite your self-proclaimed hatred for me atm), keep up the detective work.

Okay now I'm late, but there's my thoughts to date.
