I actually want to being OLU back up again. In all the games I've seen him play, when he is town he tends to be very righteous about being mislynched, as if he's not self-aware about trolling games. Which is to say, I was expecting him to come out in a very condescending fashion towards his voters. That's been almost entirely absent, and frankly he comes across as a player that is caught and just treading water.
@Ultra - I believe you took him off the board today, and that's rather hasty to me, especially when, as you've noted, there was less discussion around him which could lean scum over Goth Boy.
At the bare minimum, he should probably be shot, but we can't just leave all the useless slots to the Serial to solve.
As for the matter of the Serial, I do agree with TAT that they're going to need to be addressed at some stage. I don't think we have a dedicated Vig unless they were Doddsy, and even then it's not likely, by virtue of it being Day 4 and scum that was outed Day 1 is still alive. My current inclination is to gun for two scum (mafia) flips, and then circle back. We need some sort of plan in place - being dismissive of this discussion is how we get results like last day phase.
Then we have Lethal. Lethal has gone AWOL, which is NAI by itself, but it came off the back of him getting some easy town reads and some bad posts excused because "that's so Lethal". I'm inclined to, at a minimum, demand a claim today whenever he shows up, and if he doesn't, he is another player who should be shot.
Then there is Rugrat. I don't believe he has claimed, he absolutely should today. Frankly I wouldn't mind voting to lynch - he has spent all game sniping and riding the Poyser wave and any arguments I've made have been dismissed with "that's not the totality of his play". When you look at it holistically, what has he done to earn a town read? Nothing.
I believe Ultra, BPD, CP and Alco (by claim alone) are Town. I had forgotten about Retro's slot, but the miller claim from Oneiros is apparently as good as an Innocent Child (or near enough), so she can be town too. Imposter and Ekko lean town, largely due to investigations, out of which Ekko's is stronger than Imposters. That's a block we can work with. Which means:
Rugrat
Lethal
OLU
Goth Boy
TAT
Gram
Dalton
Phenom
Assuming all things being equal, about half that list should be scum. So my inclination is we purge that we probably win, which is where the focus needs to be. Phenom is a claimed Double Voter - probably legit, but not alignment indicative (actually I lean scum because 4 mafia is usually a bit low in a 23 player game, but having 5 votes would make it less swingy while still putting the non-town ratio to 1:4).
Vote: Lethal
