Nope, You're going for the obvious Mark here and are way too eager. Think back, I made myself an obvious target since day 1. I've constantly been trying to get people to react to me the whole game and read them. No attempts at early majority here guys, it's a bad move.

Also don't put 2 votes on a person or scum will turbo.

For now, I'm weighing whether I think it's worse splinter hasn't posted here yet, or that fire came in chomping at the bit to rush me before conversation can happen.

Well, it comes down to how they've acted. Melon has been participating and actively engaging. Fireblend has been present enough to be in our minds, but almost everything he says is fluff and not really game related. When he did recently, it was something I think was simply designed to make us waste the first chunk of our 24 hours ("Why do you think scum killed this guy who posted 3 times this game?!"). I'm not buying that's trying to be helpful town.

As for roles since you asked, may I direct you to something I said Day 1:

Vanilla town.

My vote is sticking on Fireblend. I'm not opposed to Salva, since I still think there's a pretty high chance of Gorlak's theory from yesterday about Swamped putting the vote on Kawl for town points eventually. But it puts him too close to hammer territory, and I'm not interested in letting a hammer happen even this close to deadline.

I think we gain the most by killing one of the discussion targets from today, since we're all semi-immune to NKs being the most unknown. 

As I said earlier I'll be voting for melon today, but in the meantime I'm going to start going through Fire and Steve's posts.

Here are my purely-from-memory reads on each:

Steve

Started with light gambits and was generally read as "weird" on day 1. Personally I leaned slightly more town on him at this point.

Somewhere around day 2 he started picking up town reads, and ever since then he's been coasting hardcore. He slipped off my radar completely for a while, but now that I think about it I think he got overconfident and dropped activity significantly. I felt he was competing for town leader in the early game and nowhere near that by day 3.

The only thing I do remember from him yesterday is his (I feel somewhat opportunistic) read of Fire as top scum. In my opinion this would be the optimal scum play, but even putting that aside I don't feel he made enough effort to save Salva (or melon) yesterday despite apparently disagreeing with the generally proposed lynch order.

Fireblend

Started coasty, I don't remember much from Fire until Ouro's vig gambit, which I think was the first time people started town reading him (I didn't really see it myself but then I was a little distracted by Ouro...).

In direct contrast to Steve, however, Fire has really picked up in the last day or so.

In fact, that's really the thing separating these two players for me. Steve started out very visibly contributing to the thread, but as slipped into coasting as people townread him. Fire has done exactly the opposite, started off slightly coasting (which isn't hugely unusual for him) but really picked up as we get into late game. You could argue that this was in response to suspicion on him, and maybe you'd be right but I don't really see it that way. I don't think he was under that much fire (despite the suddenly close race yesterday).

So for now, I'm firmly leaning Steve over Fire for the last scum. I'm going to work my way through the thread to see if there's anything I forgot or that might change this.

Speaking of... hi guys.

Fire, who honestly do you think the last scum is?

You seem to be the only one here making much sense.
