@Chromatically: What makes you think that "mostly agrees with you, but doesn't have time to fully flesh out his ideas and make his own thread impact" isn't a reasonable explanation for LoneMeow's play to date?
Also, I think Spicy would have looked a LOT worse if he'd backflipped on his Xzavier read. In fact I can't see any reason why he'd vote Xzavier if he was scum.

In theory, there's a somewhat plausible town explanation for every scum action. That doesn't mean that it's likely. I think that Meow has been trying to stay under the radar too much to by town (by completely sheeping town sentiment and leaving his lynch options open).
I disagree with most of your reasoning on Spicy.
First of all, I'm not looking at his meta. According to Xzav's meta, he was scum. I could make an argument that you're scum based on meta, because you're not as much of a town leader that you were in XXXIII. You could make a meta argument that I'm scum because I haven't used associations and I opened differently. Meta is not useful in newbie games.
His stance on Xzav wasn't wishy-washy at all, it was that Xzav was town. He believed this enough to argue it against me, and logically stand his ground. Spicy might have looked worse if he had switched to Xzav, but if you read his reasoning, there's no reason to think that it's fake because it looks very genuine.
I'm surprised that you see nothing townie in his filter. Look at the giant fight he had with Tofu, look at how he interacts with me about my cases and his cases. I think he's town.
