So I think everyone with an opinion on me is weakly scumreading me. I'm glad it's weak for everyone, but that's still pretty concerning. I guess I need to try to be chattier on here, but it feels to me like I'm posting lots. I never post this much online!

Anthusiasm--Null. Replaced wolf, wolf was town last game but very lurky. Was the first to post a reads list, could be town trying to encourage discussion or scum trying to get town points.
BSS--Town, investigative power claims are risky. I wonder what influences who she gets info on, if it's an RNG or someone else's actions.
epsilonbeta--Possibly scum by process of elimination.
Eva--Town, but her role PM has me concerned that if the stars align correctly, her win con will flip to scum. So I'm going to pay a lot of attention to her tomorrow.
hybridzizi--All of her posts have been consistent with her personality, she's not the type to post a lot on forums. But still possibly scum by process of elimination.
Paradox--I will be surprised if they don't flip mafia
PDV--Probably a weak independent. Alphabeta in Effulgence mafia was independent but mostly town compatible, I suspect it's something like that.
Shoal--I know they're town. I also know it's reasonable for you guys not to believe me yet, but if I die and flip town I want to remind you PLEASE DO NOT LYNCH SHOAL unless some new twist reveals changing wincons are possible. Also, I played a game with them on Mafiascum, they were town and played very similarly to how they are on here. So even on Day 1, I'm not sure why you all thought they were suspicious.
Tamien--Not posting as much as she did last game, possible scum by process of elimination.
So--if there is a third mafia member or a harmful independent win condition, I think it's in epsilon, hybridzizi, or Tamien. None of them have done anything to make me majorly suspicious, but I don't think it could be anybody else. So we're lynching Paradox today, and during night I'll examine the three of their posts and interactions with Paradox and DanielH more closely.

Oh, also anthusiasm. I'm townreading her more than the other 3, but if they all get ruled out, I think it's anthusiasm.

Rankings as of now: [scum]Paradox, PDV, HybridZizi, Shoal, anthusiasm, epsilonbeta, BlueSkySprite, Eva, pistachi0n, Tamien[town]
So far, it seems like the point-awarding method is not as accurately reflecting of my gut feelings about people as the pairwise-comparisons method - I keep being surprised at certain people's rankings (for example, Shoal). But it is more systematic and does let me look back and remember how I felt about people on specific days a bit better. At some point I should probably practice putting into words the feelings that make me award people points/reconsider their ranking.
Some elaboration on what I think of everyone currently:
Paradox - Mafia. Had been scumreading them earlier, and BSS made a very strong claim
PDV - Independent. None of his posts make me think he has a Town wincon, and I plan to vote for him on the first day I don't have a stronger scumread to vote for.
HybridZizi - weak scumread. Has done some things that make me think possibly towny, but also some things that make me think scummy. Outlook hazy, try again later.
Shoal - weak townread. I expect Shoal to gain a lot more townpoints than they did in the last two days. I'm marking them as Town on pistachi0n's say-so, but they are tied for points with HybridZizi.
anthusiasm - Townread. My tabulations list more scumpoints than I can remember giving them. If there were more time before day end, I'd review this because my I can't recall what would have made me give them that many - my gut feeling about them is pretty solidly Town.
epsilonbeta - Townread. Wish he would post more reads and lurk less, but definitely getting the impression "newbie townie" rather than anything scummy.
BlueSkySprite - Townread. Interesting informational power. Was worried about the implications of the nature of this power, but now feel confident that they are Town.
Eva - Townread. The Miller thing was worrying at the time, but now I'm pretty sure it was just a misunderstanding, and that makes me feel pretty comfortably sure that she is Town.
pistachi0n - Strong Townread. Most Townpoints out of anyone, and no Scumpoints. potentially has interesting investigative/vote power, keeps pushing for useful stuff to happen, gives lots of info to work with. pistachi0n, if you are scum this game, I am *very* impressed with you :P

Out of internship early, on phone, 17 minutes left
I think everyOne but pistachio and Paradox is voting for paradox?
So we're actually going to lynch mafia for the first time this game!
I'm hoping to get some more useful info tonight
Also hoping paradox is mafia as seems most likely
looks like nothing last minute is happening for once

Vote tally:
Paradox: 9 (anthusiasm, BlueSkySprite, epsilon, Eva, HybridZizi, pistachi0n, PlainDealingVillain, Shoal, Tamien)
Eva: 1 (Paradox)
TIME TO KILL PARADOX.
Town has got a killer on the loose!
Could be a gang!
Gotta get 'is 'ead inside a noose!
The man must hang!
He'll kill us, if we let him!
They'd better go and get him!
I know a way to net him! -
How?
MURDER!
After this merry musical interlude YOU TOTALLY KILL PARADOX. NOW PARADOX IS DEAD. Who is numerically identical to Paradox and likewise dead? WHY, IT'S DAVINA! AFFILIATION MAFIA. You congratulate yourselves and go to bed.
Murder, murder -
Or our doorstep!
Murder, murder -
So watch your step!
Murder, murder -
Take one more step,
You'll be murdered
In the night!
YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO GET THAT SONG OUT OF YOUR HEAD. And do whatever else.

DAWN BREAKS LIKE AN EGG: YOU COULD MAKE AN OMELETTE OUT OF IT.
But instead of doing something nonviolent like that, you're going to investigate this dead body! It's pistachi0n. BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. MORE IMPORTANTLY, it was LYLE! Faction TOWN! I'M SURE THAT WILL DO WONDERS FOR THAT ESTRANGED PARENTAL RELATIONSHIP.
What next?

Ok, so in light of recent information, I agree with pistachi0n that the remaining mafia are probably some combination of epsilonbeta, Tamien, and HybridZizi (unless I'm forgetting something). What do the rest of y'all think?

I think Tamien is almost certainly town
Edit: and Eva is almost certainly mafia
