You are the last of what I consider to be an “experienced” player left. If this is uncool please post so.
I’d like to win, but at the expense of doing something that makes a mockery of the process - no freaking way. I’d like to do this again and don’t want to get excluded for being some type of manipulator of the rules.

Well, based on what Sachetorte said, thought he didn’t say it explicitly, it’s reasonably fair to assume that allowing himself to get mod-killed would essentially lock the game for us. Now, while I would consider it outside the spirit of the rules to deliberately get mod-killed, I would not consider it outside the spirit to use a facet of the rules to enable us to draw certain conclusions (for instance, as I was willing to do with MindWanderer, by letting him be mod-killed). So, we can propose a somewhat revised version of the plan to take advantage of this and remain within the spirit of the game.
Nanook, at this point I feel you’re the most townie of the remaining unknowns. We can also safely assume that you will be mod-killed if you don’t post. So, I propose this gambit. If you’re town, simply don’t post any more, your most important job is to convince us your town and anything else you’d say from here on out won’t help, if you get mod-killed, we win; if you don’t, but you didn’t say anything, we have strong evidence that you’re pro-town, and can lynch the other unconfirmed instead. If you’re scum, you have a rougher path. You know that you’ve done a good job of convincing several of the confirmeds that you’re town, so all you have to do is live, which you’d probably do fine with if you posted just enough to stay alive and not enough to draw extra attention. You also know that if you don’t post, you’re very likely to die. Hence, I will consider any additional posts from you, even to confirm the plan to be very scummy, especially since you’ve already explicitly stated that you’d had a similar thought.
Hence, because he was the only one of the three who, as of Dawn, was likely to win if he were scum, he’s the only one who actually doesn’t have anything to gain by trying to play the gambit (where even a small risk of avoiding mod-kill is likely a gain for bufftabby or RoOsh as scum). We can thus fairly safely eliminate him as potential scum, provided he makes no more posts.
As for the rest of us, we just spend the rest of the Day trying to sort out which between bufftabby or RoOsh is the remaining scum, on the assumption that Nanook doesn’t post. If Nanook does start to post, we lynch him. If he tries to post right at the end of the Day so we can’t react, we lynch him Tomorrow.
To the remaining scum, between RoOsh and bufftabby, you also know you’re in a bind, because you know Nanook is a Simpleton and will gladly die to confirmed, which means whichever one of you is scum, you know you’re 100% sunk. So… you might as well give up now.
