It's not decisive one way or another, but bear in mind VisceraEyes did not know he was going to die tonight.
Great shot by Snarfs though, I'd got the impression VE was a decent scum candidate but I'm not sure I'd have had the balls to shoot him.

Okay here's my case on marvellosity.
1) D1:
- Inactivity/no content: the only thing he comments on D1 before his vote is that Zentor might be town from a metagaming point of view.
- Sheeping: votes for Snarfs without giving any reasoning. Note this is Snarf's third vote.

##Vote: Snarfs
Note how on D2 he's changed his mind in relation to Snarfs. He only claims he's changed his mind on D2 when questioned about it. He removed his vote from Snarfs without mentioning him at all, so we could have assumed his opinion hadn't changed.

2) D2:
- He changed his stance on Zentor. That's perfectly fine. Or is it? Not enough people voted Zentor on D1 to secure his lynch, but who actually defended him? These four people did:
Radfield - Didn't vote for Zentor D2
Bluelightz - Didn't vote for Zentor D2
VE - Scum, voted for Zentor D2
Marv - Voted for Zentor D2
- Taking aside his Zentor comments, his D2 has almost nothing. It has weak accusations on Radfield, in which mostly he questions Rad's stance on Zentor but doesn't take a stance on Rad himself. Actually, he steps in to answer for VE:

3) VE's no lynch vote D1:
Now we've reached the main point. Look at marv's play in the early game. Perfectly lynchable in terms of lynching the unhelpful lurker. An easy mislynch for scum to push for ... if only marv was town.

VE takes a stance on me and marv, saying either one of us would be fine for the lynch. If Marv was town and he went for the mislynch, he could claim he was being consistent. He may have said this:

But that isn't a defense. It would be perfectly fine for him to press with on his lynch after saying that.
VE's posting show's he's willing, perhaps eager, to try to lead the mislynch:
Votes on Marv - 1
Votes on Snarfs - 3 (highest)

What do you guy suggest? One of MrZentor or Snarfs? They're the leading candidates with 2 votes, one of MrZentors being his own. I think Zentor is town, and I don't think he'll end up voting for himself, so I'd have to go with Snarfs...but Snarfs looks town to me too.
There seems to be a consensus behind a Radfield lynch, would you guys join me in lynching him over an inactive I feel has a huge chance of flipping scum? Other than these options, it's looking like a No Lynch situation to me.
Then this happens:

VE then turns to a post Rad had made about 2 hours prior to justify him not voting on Marv. If Marv was town, he wouldn't have to do so, he could have been the 5th vote and probably gotten closer to the mislynch.

Rad made me rethink voting marv - I went back and reread the beginning of his newbie game that I read and he did find himself the victim of early suspicion.
I'm willing to no-lynch in this situation. In my opinion a no-lynch is better than a mislynch in this situation and I'm not confident enough in any of the lurkers anymore - there has been a lot of activity here toward the end, and it's hard to tell if it's because there's a scum candidate or because no one wants a no-lynch or what.
What do you think Toad? Do you think we should lynch a lurker or no-lynch? I'm okay with no-lynching to be frank.
In fact, this move made him stand out, both to me and to Toad. Now that VE's flipped scum, the pieces fit together.
4) VE's accusation on Marv: Everyone go back and read it over. His arguments in favor of a Marv lynch are purely on meta and weak as hell to boot. This, to me, looks like he is pairing up his scumbuddy with a soon-to-be confirmed townie (confirmed through death) in order to shift suspicion off Marv. If VE hadn't been shot, he would have either been trying to bus Marv at this point or, more likely (I think), bussing himself to give Marv town cred.

First question on your Marv-case, why would VE have to vote no-lynch in order to save Marv? There wasn´t much threat to Marv, the case hadn+t built up yet, VE probably didn´t need to go in and save him.

The entire VE part of my argument is just ridiculous. All the voting on Day 1 is nonsense as VE didn't need to vote or not vote for me for me not to get lynched.
As mentioned above VE did not know he was going to die tonight, so why would he be making a case against me under the reasonable assumption that I would live? If we're playing percentages, the percentages are very much that VE is living through the night (how can he have expected to be shot?) and was setting up what he regarded as one of the easier lynches the next day.
My 'stepping in to answer for VE' is in fact - 'pointing out what you should have been able to read yourself, you bloody idiot, but here I am having to do basic comprehensive skills for you'.
I also thought it was quite clear that I never voted for Snarfs because I was certain of it, I voted for him because it was the best case I had read thus far. Thusly:

The entire VE connection case is simply weak sauce.

If you're going to make a case, please make a case that's made of something. The entire thrust of a case against me should be that I haven't managed to scumhunt, which is an accusation I can't easily brush away. Your case however is easily brushed away based on weak circumstance and connection.

Its more of a matter of why would he not pile on if marv was town? As a vet here on TL, his voice has weight to it. If he had voted, Marv would have gone to 5 votes, which is 2 away from a lynch. It wouldn't be guaranteed, but it would have made a world of difference. Also, his posting leading up to that day's lynch gave him a paper trail. No one could call him inconsistent if he went through with the vote, yet he went out of his way to not vote Marv, calling attention to himself.

Yes, VE had no idea he was going to die and probably wasn't even considering the possibility. Yet he made a "case" on a person he knew was going to die: Radfield and added you in there as bonus. That would have given mafia 2 options, either of which was very plausible:
1) You bus him with special emphasis on his case on Radfield (who was soon to be confirmed through death), which would pair up your names and make you sound very townie (I think this is the more likely scenario).
2) He busses you, by insisting on his night case. It would be shown he was half right about it and give him enough town cred to ride him at least through another day.
And if for some reason neither of you were lynched, drinks all around!

Probable but why didn't he begin setting up VE during Night 2 or at the very end of Day 1? There was a lot of discussion going on and VEs name was off the radar. If he wanted to bus VE that would have been the perfect time to remind everyone "hey, VE is still a top suspect".

marv, your entire defense is that:

2. Radfield thinks you are town
3. That the case didn't focus on the real scummy part of your play, even though it does include that too
1 Can not be assumed. Even before sbrubbles posted his case you try really hard to make sure everyone is aware the VE didn't know he was going to get shot. You are so damn sure of it, which doesn't make sense.
I made this post meaning to imply that I, or any vigilante really, was likely to shoot VE:

This game is...very odd. I'll post my final thoughts before dawn. Can you post them now? You are near the top of a few scum lists that I've seen floating around so I wouldn't worry about mafia targetting you.
The bolded part specifically. Now, I'm not going to assume that VE picked up on that, but considering it was meant for him to pick up on so that I could see his defense, I'm not going to assume he didn't pick up on it either.
2 Can not be assumed either. Radfield did not see the flip, he did not have time to go back and reread the thread knowing VE was scum. Plus, even if he does think you're town, so what? Radfield is not infallible and that is a terribly contrived defense.
3 As for you claiming that Sbrubbles' case is "easily brushed away based on weak circumstance and connection": sounds like you're trying to undermine his case. He clearly mentions your lack of content and scumhunting. It is my opinion that rather than brush these parts of his case aside by claiming they're not even there, you should address them AND remedy them, or else my vote will remain on you today.

That's a possibility. But do you see any other reason why VE would accuse Rad, who he knew was gonna die? I mean, why put a lot of effort into calling Rad scummy only 3 minutes before killing him? And why he would add Marv into his accusation? I've got my theory, but I'd like to know yours, Ace.

I think it is very likely that once Radfield flipped blue (which VE and his scumbuddies would know was going to happen), VE would be the lynch target for the day, or VE knew that he was also likely to be vigged (see above). EITHER WAY, at that point it makes sense to prepare for the situation.
However, I don't think the VE case on marv is the most suspicious part of their interaction, though it does add some weight. I think you should pay close attention to day 1. You said yourself, it didn't seem like VE cared who died. Yet, he refuses to place his vote on marv, even after claiming that he would be fine with a marv vote. He draws attention to himself by doing this. The only reason I can think a scum would risk drawing attention to themselves is to save another scum. What do you think about that?

I find it curious that Ace insists on ignoring all behavioral analysis regarding Bluelightz.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this marvellosity pressure is going.

To be specific marv, if you're looking for something to give your opinion on:
I noticed you were asking for previous filters from Bluelightz's scum games. What did you make of that?
Quick question: anyone know which games Bluelightz played scum in of late please?
What do you think of Ace's pressure on Bluelightz?
And finally, how would you compare strongandbig's play in the newbie game you played together to this game?
