Since you asked so nicely... I'm not really sure. I'm more careful as scum. Don't get myself into situations like these  I try to play similarly as scum as to town, so meh. More carefree with my thoughts as town I guess.
I still think VE is dodgy. Probably overestimating him as usual, but I feel like he should have been able to get a better grasp on me than this, and it makes me suspicious that he hasn't. Don't really blame Probulous so much.
Not particularly moved by the pressure on slOosh, from what I've seen of him he's usually cautious like this, especially on day 1.
Unsure where to place Zeph because of his dumb posting on millers, will wait for further content. Lack of relevancy at the moment. Somewhat suspicious because of the number of posts --> 0 content.
Zentor is abdicating responsibility for providing reads until tomorrow which isn't acceptable. It feels like he's trying to whimper his way into day 2. Response to pressure pretty poor (i momentarily took off my hypocrite hat). At the moment I would favour him to be lynched.

I'm not fine with lynching marvellosity at the moment. From what I gather, he is a good player and the case against him consists mainly of meta and him not responsing straight to Mattchew's question. I agree that it's a bit scummy, but not enough to warrant lynching a good player. I'd rather lynch someone like rastaban:

Just caught up on what is the "haps", here are my thoughts.
First, I agree with the Millers claim day one, and policy lynching all Millers after today. In a game where they are self aware it is a huge boon for town. The benefits far out way the negative of less people with possible blue roles. First and most importantly it guarantees our checks. Detectives know any red checks from non-mafia get lynched, since sanity isn't an issue in this game. Any Mafia will always claim miller if checked and we don't force a day 1 reveal. It will cause a lot of confusion, it is best to eliminate this by forcing day one claims. It also forces Mafia's hand, if they want to claim they have to do it now before they are in too much water. This is hard for mafia to do, they don't want to be scrutinized and that is why they claim miller as a last resort. While it is argued that Millers make it easier to snipe blues it also makes our blues more effective. Look at Bang Bang where I, as a doctor, pushed strongly for a miller claim night one.
Second, the focus of Marv makes me think of karma after seeing him do it to Gonzaw in our last game together. We need to be careful with tunneling though, when you push someone so hard day1, they will often come across as scum no matter what since the only content you have is them trying to defend themselves against accusations. He could be scum but I just want to say that we need to be cautious, as I feel the case against him is a bit biased. Now his day 1 "meta" is to spam 1 liners so I personally wouldn't mind him getting lynched if there isn't a better candidate but I feel like there is too much discussion on him this early in our day. Remember we have 48 hours, half that time hasn't even passed yet so I don't like the band wagoning on Marv so quickly.
That said I have a hard time getting anything from his filter right now. Some people analyze best when their quarry is under pressure but for me that introduces too many variables so I like to read posts where they aren't defending themselves. So marv would you mind answering the original question ( as leading as it may be) about what you feel are your tells, and second who do you feel is most likely scum?
His post a huge ball of fluff. The miller issue has already been argued to death, and everyone except Zephirdd agrees that millers should claim during D1. The second section consists of him arguing that it's dumb to tunnel players (marv in particular). In the end of it he says "Remember we have 48 hours, half that time hasn't even passed yet so I don't like the band wagoning on Marv so quickly." which initially makes him appear pro-town, but in reality it's just bullshit. What do you mean with the band-wagoning on marv going quickly? He just had 3 votes on him by the time you were writing this (2 now) and the only guys who seems very intent on lynching him is VE and Probulous (risk's vote looked more like a pressure vote). I mainly see scum posting unnecessary advice like this where they encourage everyone to be calm and collected when voting and not to rush things, especially when there isn't even any real bandwagoning going on.
@Snarfs
What do you mean with when you say that MrZentor tried to correct his errors in the recent WBG mini mafia? Did he play even worse before that? In EMM he only posted one-liners, and he could have been either scum or town; it was impossible to read him.

Well, in WoF he self-voted at least twice and basically actively tried to get himself lynched as a townie. From there the only way is up.

The second time I tried to really contribute I pointed out the last two scum, Mr. Wiggles and Radfield. I was a little flaky on GreYMisT because I hadn't read his filter but I was confident enough that Mr. Wiggles and Radfield were the remaining scum that that didn't stop me.

@risk.nuke In Pick Your Poison you put yourself in a position on day3 where everybody else thought you were scum and you couldn't defend yourself because you hadn't shown your investment in the game during the previous days. You ended up getting mislynched and you in big part responsible for this yourself. You are doing this again right now. Please be more active.

Also, Shraft and Snarfs need to do something about their nicks.

It's posts like the one slOosh also pointed out where MrZentor says that he'll contribute tomorrow because there's nothing in the thread today that makes it pretty clear that he's a solid day1 lynch. While he also said that in Wheel of Fortune mafia, you can't just let people go saying scummy things just because they also say them as town. You lynch into the scummiest guy even if he has a reputation for being scummy as town. He's just going to be a headache this game and right now it doesn't look like he cares or wants to change that.

Inclined to agree with you prplhz.
Really need to hear from von klaust. He was active and contributory in his newbie game. As his username was different then, you can find his filter here.

Prphlz, what you fail to realize is that different things are scummy for different players.
I always need a little time to digest the information.

Yea that's just not what you said.
You said that you wouldn't contribute until tomorrow because there's wasn't anything in the thread. Now you're saying it's because you need time to think about what's in the thread. It sounds to me like you don't have an opinion about something very central to townies: how to catch scum. Instead you're just making stuff up on the fly.
Really, we're lynching MrZentor today.

I am going to put all of Prplhz's posts in the spoiler and why each one is him making a joke, tunneling me, defending himself, talking about some other game, or some combination of those things. In summary, he hasn't done anything useful, like scum hunting.

Who would you policy lynch VisceraEyes? Just someone random?

Weak. The only reason I keep bringing the miller thing up is because Zephirdd is insistent that millers don't claim, and if we aren't clear now then it's gonna come back later and bite us in the butt, regardless of his alignment (actually hurt us more if he is town).
Right now my main suspicion is Snarfs. I brought it up before about his question of prplhz. I believe it reveals a(n intentional) lack of comprehension. Prplhz never said Zentor was stifling discussion. He made it pretty clear that he just didn't like playing with him. I find Snarf's particular way of questioning "off". I know it's no 3 point case, but it's what I have right now. His follow up post doesn't inspire anything either - he calls out Zephirdd for weak contributions yet he himself is guilty of the same thing thus far. Contrast that to his clearly excited pre-game chatter.
Prob I don't understand your concern of me about my stance on the marv thing. I think the Marv - VE back and forth is really messy and would rather not have a thread full of that. I'm not advocating a shut down of discussion - only a shut down of needless spam / one liners. Consolidation always helps town. Spam never does. I think your little case on Marv is decent - I never said I thought you think he is town.

I don't really like this play from Marv. One of the textbooks examples of trying to separate scum from town is to try to figure out how they post. If they are very deliberate and seem a little scared of posting it could mean they are more likely to be mafia, and if they seem more spontaneous and carefree in their posting then it could mean they are more likely to be town. Normally this is far from a proper clue, more just something to keep in back of your mind, but the way Marv keeps saying that he is just so darn carefree with posting makes me spider sense tingle. It also fits conveniently well with his defence.

This one is the same thing, just a little more tricky. He's pretty much saying: If I was scum, I would be much more careful in my play and since I'm not careful in my play it hints to me being town.

This was where you started going on about being carefree as town. This had nothing to do VE asking you for your meta as town/scum. He just asked you why you put yourself in this situation in the first place if you know that it would put you at risk. And not only did it start all the talk about being care free. It's also nonsensical.
It doesn't matter how afraid our not you are, putting yourself in a bad situation is BAD. Making people think you are scum because you wanted to "get information from who and how you're pushed" is not worth the trade of making people suspicious of you and putting the focus on you and hence taking focus off others.
And sure, you kinda answered the question but I don't think that "I play more care free as town" really counts as a proper answer. Escpecially not after all that slithering. Most people are more careful as scum and your answer pretty much doesn't say anything about your actuall play.

Ofc i would blame you for taking the focus from the real scum if you would happen to flip town. Do you expect us to just ignore the weird stuff you've been writing? Yes, I chose to because I think you have been playing scummy, and you aknowledge that yourself in this post.

You agree both that it would seem scummy and that it actually is scummy. Still you did it. It doesn't make point from any perspecive and makes me think you're just trying to fill holes you made with bad play.

I didn't make a conscious decision to go 'lol gonna appear scummy now'. I read Matt's post and made a reply to it without giving it that much thought. The point being I give every post I make as scum due thought.
