Sorry for the inactivity boys, didn't have time to read and post until now but now I'm free. I read through everything and I'll just state the most important things that caught my eye.
1. While I agree that Leone looks bad, I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said - I will hold off with my judgement until he defends himself from the heat. While it is important to wagon to pressure someone, I feel like Maf people would easily jump this - regardless of the faction of Leone. From what I know from being Maf in a game is that it is often hard to come up with stuff, and if someone posts a well thought argument you try and jump there as fast as you can(even if it is your teammate). I think especially Dan just jumped on the wagon for this reason(3rd vote). Which brings me to my next point.
2. Dan is my Maf lean Nr. 1 right now. First of all, right now he holds the worst post of the game award:

What the fuck.
Why is everyone playing like fucking retards? TvK, you’ve barely posted at all. Where is your aggressive scumhunting?

Okay granted it's not as much pressure as I remember but you did say that PAF was starting to make bad posts.
I was interested in your PAF read because I feel like you could be mafia putting pressure on PAF to have him get mislynched and then sayinig that I would look really bad if PAF flips town to try to set up a mislynch chain (PAF day 1, me day 2). Looking back you didn't put as much pressure on him as I remember, but I still think it's possible that you were intending on setting up a mislynch chain.
I don't think there's any way you could be mafia with PAF, I'll say that.
Still willing to consider that you are town and I can see why you might think I'm mafia, even though I don't like that you haven't been explaining your reads much, just giving them, until your latest post. I'll go ahead and out as vanilla town, I know that might make it easier for a cop or medic to get shot in the night if mafia decided to not target me, but I really wouldn't be that upset if I get mislynched. I just hope people consider what I said about Alaktorn trying to set up a mislynch chain with PAF and then me (he probably won't do that now regardless anyway now that I brought it up, I expect him to keep his vote on me at any rate.)
I don't have much of a read on Leone yet, considering I know I'm not m/m with him, I know that his first post didn't have anything to do with defending me as a mafia buddy. I agree with TvK that there's no reason to unvote there really.
I liked that TYG's first post was to point out that he felt like PAF's additional post came off as being unnecessarily defensive. I feel like other PAF posts made him look worse, but the fact that this is the first thing TYG noticed upon coming into the game felt good to me. I feel like TYG mafia might have chosen to go after Racer or someone else for his first page posts instead upon entering the game.
I feel like I need to go back and really figure out how I feel about Racer.
First of all, I feel like I have to say this every game I play(I should've been here earlier to say it before it happens..), but NEVER CLAIM YOUR ROLE ON D1. Unless it's 5 minutes before EOD and you're going to be lynched, there is no reason to claim your role this early...this is dumb on so many levels I can't even express. If you are Town, then Maf now knows that you have no power role, hence making it easier for them to kill the real power roles. You even say this YOURSELF, and still claim just cuase you're scared to be mislynched?This early?
However, the good thing about this is: I doubt you're Town Vanilla, I think you're probably Mafia and I don't know why you felt pressured to claim Town Vanilla so early, but either way it was a pretty dumb move. Only real dumb Townies claim Vanilla D1, and I don't think you're really dumb, so the only conclusion is that you're Maf and felt pressured enough to just say you're Town Vanilla.
On top of that the whole Dan/Alak Conversation will definitely be interesting to go through again, but from my first read through I think Alak is just trying to put heat on different people, which is rather Townie. On the topic, I'm still gonna be neutral on him and TvK, just for reasons that I know both of them and think both of them are really good players - Just looking Townie this early on means not much to me. The alignment will become clearer once we progress more into the game.
Biggest Town lean so far is Racer, he doesn't jump the wagon, he pressured Sportsguy and Dan(which I really like), 2 people who deserve the heat. Also just gut feeling from how he posts.
About Sportsguy, I've played some games with him and sadly he always lays low early, no matter the alignment(I think someone already mentioned this), so it's hard to judge him based on that. However, I would not give him a free pass to just lay low the entire game, he will have to make sure to post more as the game goes on.
Then there's Zoran

I fail to see where that assumption came from based on Alak words, but ok, most people don't think alike.
As for that sentence ALAK made:
ALAKTORN wrote on 08/11/16 at 08:38:25:Zoran is a bit on the low posting side compared to usual I think
Be sure next time because this is another bad info from previous games. I really dislike false info from previous games. If you are not sure, don't post it at all.
I'm around as usual, but i don't post very much at the very beginning, because i try to gather something valuable. It was the same in the previous games.
I can accept critique from Tvk about my posts not having a lot of valuable info for now, but if i don't see that info i will not make it up. It will come...
As for Dan VS Alak, if it was a townie race, Dan would be in the lead in my head. How Alak is having Dan as a top scumread is beyond me for now.
I will be back in 1.5-2 hrs, then i'll read through and hopefully have something more.
Hope to see people below my post count posting more...
Bolded the important part. You are around to gather something valuable, but don't post much? How are you gathering those valuable things if you don't post? Seems fishy to me, an excuse not to post much. Also Defends Dan here...
Tl;dr : Likely Scum: Dan, maybe scum: Zoran, probably Town: Racer
I'll read through again, probably missed a lot
