Doc has actually been posting some fairly useful stuff this game, although its somewhat rare. He hasn't actually stuck out with an opinion about anything, but he has pressured a fair amount and pushed back when he was pressured upon.
Some of this better posts:

Another thing to note is how easily this wagon on claudius is forming without any defense at all (although he is a lurker so if he was scum his buddy could just be thinking "fuck it")

Nobody had pointed this out at the time, and it was useful. Probably what convinced me not to vote for claudius.
Doc was also one of the only people to post a scumlist, although his analysis is (in his own words) very weak.

Well in no particuler order:
Sneezy: Lurking useless etc.
Augustus: Very much a gutread at this point something about just turns me the wrong way but placing my finger on it is difficult, maybe it's what I see as an angry tone. In either case its a really weak scumread at this point.
Tiberious seems town as my only real problem was a really weak technicality in one post.
I guess I should vote for who's scum so

Augustus didn't seem scummy to me at all to be honest, but I guess i might not have been reading the first two pages all that closely. The last minute switch off of sneezy onto augustus which saved sneezy's life actually came from somebody else.
No, the person I'm convinced is actually scum is dopey1. Lets look at his 8 posts, only 6 of which have actually been in this thread.

Well okey dokey, I think it's wise to follow the "don't roleclaim" advice (as of now) if the host says so. 2 mafia of 11 seems rather scarce, no? Makes me feel a little shorthanded in the blue department. Also, no role reveal is a bitch, but not like it matters too much yet. I'm guessing with one(?) mafia KP, we should probably vote for it by day 3 regardless and have a potential vig save his shot so we can address different outcomes better.
Besides that, I ain't got shit to say lol...

This was the first post of substance in the thread after the day post came out. The bolded section makes me feel a little nervous (passive aggressively rebuking our host perhaps?), although there is no clear read here yet.

I'm thinking because of the GF part? No roles are guaranteed to be in the set-up. I do believe he is right about claims being easily faked. Though I personally think GF is unlikely with no role-reveal. All depends though

This is fairly scummy. He's saying that he agrees with somebody else (thanks for the HUGE contribution), but then he says the bolded section about the GF which, if the mafia team HAD a GF would be exactly the sort of thing mafia would want the town to think.
And as a matter of fact, I suspect that mafia does have a GF. My reason? 2 mafia. This is a 2 + a few traitor vs 12 - traitor setup. Assuming that the mafia has two traitors (worst case), we can be sure that mafia will probably have a GF. This is because mafia doesn't have communication ability with the two traitors and has only one KP the whole game. That makes mafia assets exactly one GF, one RB/Goon, and 2 other players they can't even communicate with. Without a GF town would be pretty OP.

Oopsy daisy.
Thought the augustus lynch was justified. He seemed to support a very anti-town fear-mongering despair that basful and caligula pointed out. Then he went maximum aggression mode, which is the next basic step for a mafia who gains nothing by dying (lynching 1 mafia gives us a free end-game lynch unless vig is around)
I'll try to contribute more for the next lynch and actually vote :X

Dopey defending his augustus lynch. Not much to see here, interesting that he failed to vote. My first thought was that he failed to vote on purpose, in an attempt to give us less info on him later in the game, although I think thats just me being paranoid.

Why do people think bashful was vig'd? I think that's a pretty out there claim...
Scum aren't lurking. When two intelligent random townies argue, eventually they realize to themselves that the other isn't proving to be anti-town, it's just the natural course of things. I don't post a lot because I am keeping my eyes open and waiting for an opportunity to contribute, rather then blabbing on hoping my posts look townie. I'm trying not to get hit, and I won't let town lynch me (try me).
On point, one of tiberius and augustus would be scum. When people are having a discussion, and it is obviously going no-where in terms of content, then you have scum trying to pass off as town. That has those two written all over it. I haven't seen the dramatic fashion of posts from other players. They seem borderline desperate. It could be the work of a passionate but useless townie, but not both of them. Glad augustus was lynched, and it would be in town's best interest to lynch off tiberius now. Hope your happy (OOH SNAP)

This is extremely scummy, as happy's pointed out earlier (gj happy). I'm fairly certain that this is a slip. Go read it again. True townies aren't afraid to blab their mouthes off, because they're certain that no matter how stupidly they act, their natural proclivities will prove them townies to an unbiased observer. Dopey, on the other hand, is telling us he doesn't want to post too much in in order to "hope to look townie." Who else but a mafia thinks that way?
No, Dopey is pretty obviously the mafia here, not doc. Dopey's only constructive post was his first one, all of his later ones have been fairly mundane and unhelpful to town.
