I think it's pretty safe to assume that anyone who hasn't already claimed power or blatantly hinted power is going to be/claim vanilla at this point.

I've decided that we should not lynch Panth, and that everyone who has softclaimed power (Zach and Sheep) should full claim, and then we should probably still lynch from Tange/MZero/IGCD

If you want deeper reasoning, continue reading.

Let's talk about Phoenix Wright mafia for a moment. That game started with 4 straight mafia lynches, and then town fumbled and scum still won.

How did it happen? Well, the game started with a bunch of powers being claimed/killed, etc. The early days were heavily driven by powers and claims.

Then, when 4 scum were down, with a bunch of unscanned vanilla claims left, town decided to chase the lying scanner claims (of which there were none) rather than start killing unscanned vanilla claims.

This was a fatal mistake, because if town had just started narrowing down the possible scan targets by killing unscanned vanillas, over the next few days, everything would have sorted itself out and scum would have run out of room to hide.

By incorrectly killing two scanning claims, town enabled scum to climb back. Scum roleblocker was lynched day 1 and town still threw it away by killing two of their own four scanners.
