Well, of course he has. Townie, neutral, or scum. I've tried to imagine what kind of consequences could be linked to a hammer, in each case.

Scum : A "non-read/flip" kill ? I don't expect something as radical as an additional nightkill or something.

Town : A supplementary info ? Flavour-able in terms of interrogation, or observation ?

Neutral : An individual victory condition (I would hardly care about that, I don't really see the point of neutral plays).

The most unsettling idea would be an "and then there were none" trick, a faked death, but I don't really see how this would play out in gameplay terms, or what/who it would benefit. If it's a scum lynch, though, I'd still be attentive to the following days' votecounts (or would vote for the victim once, just to be sure).

Still, if the agenda is scum, going full "let me hammer okay" would be quite ballsy. Especially as any weird effect would be pinned on him, and as a hammering could be achieved without warning. So, right now, I mostly see it safe-ish.

What I find weird is that on one hand you calculate based on the principle that everyone else has a couple of "like/dislike", yet you say that your own experience is simply a "like". You assume that your case is unique. For now, I am still wondering whether you have a reason to do so, or if you "made" it unique yourself.

You are also one of the most convinced proponent of full likes/dislikes claim ("don't see what bad can come from it" - for real ?), so that's two things about you that make my eyebrow twitch.

Hm. Even if I follow your train of thought there, it still leads me to two possibilities. Making that three. But yeah, it would leave open, somehow, the question of "doubles".

ANYWAY, this post because thread needs content. I can also copy-paste this, from my notes, which is my general chart of attitudes towards day1 info sharing. To be honest, I wrote it in the perspective of "most eager = scummier", because I find it a bit hypocritical to not see any drawback or danger in it. BUT, thinking of it, I think that the mafia would also have reasons to fear something, so this eagerness would be perhaps as weird from scum as from town. Right now, I'm shaking my compass, which doesn't work quite as well as before.

So, my crude notes are :

jmich totally yay plus names
amok totally yay ("don't see what bad can come from")
flub - same stance as amok ? ("smarty knickers")
redbaron, cspvg, nmillar claim likes spontaneously
p1na claims
robbeasy first not sure then no harm
quadralien nervous no claim
zchinque nervous
sirprimal not sure
darko not sure
vitek not sure
(missing : jacobbama)

Is it mostly correct ?

My own stance is a bit "middle ground", I think that some amount of shared info will be useful, but that going all the way to full puzzle completion can have antitown effects. My opinion comes from the suspicion that roles are associated to the professions that the OP links to some names, and from the fact that my own flavour MAY have already lead me to link an unclaimed name to a player. So, quite a few debateable hypotheses behind my own impressions (are professions meaningful, are these players even town, is my name deduction correct), but they lead to this stance of mine.

And bump, yes.

(Also, might not be very active in the next two days, because of festivities. But will be okay from wednesday or thursday on - when, in a way, I expect day 1 will fully start.)
