Not particularly interested in something because I'm still waiting but whatever. I try and form who I think are the core of townies and work from there. I do tend to sheep cases in the earlier stages of the game but it's not because I'm mindless.  Something to keep in mind.
And what if town are on the wrong track? How do we know you aren't taking advantage of that as scum?

I listed the lurkers as potential lynch targets mostly because I didn't have any other scumreads. MD might be a better target for a day 1 lynch.
You said in your FIRST assessment of him:

And it's also obviously possible to play a perfectly good scum game without either spamming or lurking. But my view is that if we build a good town atmosphere with all townies being active but not spammy, it makes it much harder for even good scum players to hide. If I start lurking or spamming, that'll be a good sign I'm Mafia. But since I'm town, I'll do my best to stick to my words.
One thing that irks me is that I know that you aren't the biggest fan of spam either. Obviously this thread is much more in danger of being too quiet than too loud, but I would have hoped you'd join me echoing my words. Why the change of heart? Or have you just got your game face on (which, admittedly, wouldn't be very alignment indicative..) I honestly didn't feel it needed repeating (it stood on its own) and just wanted to start seeing what I could get out of the thread. I definitely agree to discourage spam as much as possible but at the same time don't ignore the lurkers. Similarly as was already said, there are high volume posters that do play well as mafia. Sometimes you might also get a milder form of spam if you have too many conversational posters. I can't remember where I said this before but I've said it multiple times now - there's conversational and case based posting and inevitably some people are going to have longer filters if they do engage in long - even if useful - conversation. That said I think either way if people keep things to the point, EBWOPs aside, spam really shouldn't be an issue. That said, this post by Grokken http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/postmessage.php?quote=129&topic_id=488742was called into question and honestly I don't think this warrants a scum read - if he's scum, it's not going to be for this. In the context of that entire conversation, there's nothing but sarcasm, to me it's just a cheeky post especially considering the "oh shit you got me" response Gandhi posted after that. The two of them (him and Gandhi) seem pretty carefree like they don't really care what people think of them, which actually warrant a town tell. The second quote that was called into question - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/488742-newbie-student-mafia-xii?page=8#148 First off - one liners aren't alignment indicative either way - like I said before someone might try to evaluate conversation as they have it. I don't think it's reasonable to scum read him largely because NHM hasn't been back to respond so how are you setting up the expectation already that he needs to follow up? There's nothing to follow up on. I think Grokken is a townlean based on his first few posts, it is reasonable for a new player to question something that seems off or may warrant an explanation - and I agree it does. I don't think TJ is being reasonable to set up the follow-up expectation when it's pretty clear where the expectation lies - the answer to that particular question. A haste to judgement is a scumlean (esp for a player I don't know).  I'd prefer it if you let Grokken speak for himself. This might have been the jail free card that he was looking for. I was going to bring this up myself, but seems like you beat me to it. Although the defense is good, I think it would be better to just let me defend myself, especially because I haven't really posted much before now. MoosyDoosy is a townread for me.
You pick up ONE post that was good but the posts that others commented on that were poor were also BEFORE you posted. The two posts called into question by others BEFORE your first assessment are:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/488742-newbie-student-mafia-xii?page=8#160 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/488742-newbie-student-mafia-xii?page=9#174
If you townread him for his posting in general, why did these posts pass you by? The second was about an hour before you responded so it's not likely you were ninjaed there.
The switching things up argument was also made BEFORE your first townread of him.
To me at first glance, this looks like you are blending in with the crowd once MD has been called out.

How are they terrible list posts? Repeating here but newbies do that a lot. How is that outside the realm of possibilities for town? And for people legitimately entering the thread late what are your expectations?
Additionally Grokken's posted more than that how much did you take that into account?
How much of the WP read is OMGUS?

What's up with that?
No, just no.
Out of context much? There's a massive difference between questioning someone's argument on/for their target (which n00bking did too mind you) and defending said target. There was reason to question Kelsier over what he posted, and that is not the same as coming to Grok's defence.
Just no, and your first sentence in that post is like you don't care about the lynch which screams mafia. The fact you aren't even lending your opinion re: MD when presumably you've had experience with him one way or another is also another red flag and I'm thinking you're just content to let him die if he's town. You haven't done jack all and that's not even considering that your first serious post in the game is actually scummy.
n00bking might be on to something about that meta argument of yours. You haven't even passed judgement on some of the other players in this game. Maybe there's a solution to that...the noose.

He's got a point here Kels, Anyone can parrot and continuous parroting is a problem but fundamentally if there's no original material, most list posts are actually null provided they aren't totally illogical, or something in that post isn't out of context (which is why SW was null to me as well on his first set of opinions).

Actually on average townies are more likely to do that than mafia especially in newbie games. Veteran games are slightly different but newbie games...but the fact that MD self-metaed already obviously negates all that.

This is honestly one of the best ones. Stick around for the veteran games, from what I can tell of your play, regardless of whichever alignment you are, you seem pretty cut out for the vet games, where people do take things a little more seriously. The thread on average moves slower in newbie games, that's just how it is.

This is not a classic scum tell. It's pretty obvious I'm being a shitty townie so his analysis is pretty on point as usual. I really don't see how you guys think I'm Mafia. XD Can you explain to me how I am supposed to differentiate "shitty townie" play from Mafia play? The way your posts are reading to me now it sounds like you are a mafia resigned to their fate. If that's not the case then what is your play here? Do you have anyone you think is mafia? Anyone that you think is town? Any reasons for those reads? Any reasoning for why you have been writing/acting like a 14 year old for the last 12 hours? I'm going to be seriously upset if you are lynched and flip town because all that I will be thinking is: "What the fuck?"
Honestly I'm fearing that, and ESPECIALLY with the afk votes, and the comment by Sulfurus....

1. MoosyDoosy 2. Sulfuras 3. Grokken
Scott, NHM, and silentwarrior are all in a 3rd category for me which includes players that haven't impressed me with their content and have not left any last impact on me. Might be mafia, might be town. I would rather wait until day 2 to deal with this group since it may give them more time to provide content for me to figure out their alignment. Personally, I'd rather kill someone whos acting scummy than someone whos just a crap shoot (actually if this were video mafia I would pressure them and force them to talk but I can't really do that here.)
If at EOD 2 I still have nothing on those three, I would advocate to shooting, cop checking, lynching them. I would caution against vig shooting or cop checking any of the lurkers this night because I don't think it will really help progress our scum leads much. A vig shot is better saved on a clearly scummy person (same logic as above) and cop check better on someone whos a bit more active.
If there's a vig in the setup, shoot Sulfurus 100%. I'm waiting to see if there's more votes for the switch, but I'm fearing with the number of people just sat on MD and the last comment by Sulfurus, MD if town, made this an easy ML for the mafia, which is infuriating, especially for a D1 lynch.
If there's a DT, check any of the lurkers/nulls - NHM/Scott/SW/WP
And what specifically is the deal with Grokken from your end?

Very true, I had Scott as null/policy lynch regardless but that just reinforces the case that both should probably be left alone.

There is no minimum number of votes required to lynch someone. If there is a tie for most votes, whoever most recently had more votes than the other is the person who is up for the lynch. 6. The person who is up for the lynch is whoever has the most votes. Bringing another player up to that number of votes doesn't put him up for the lynch; he has to have the most votes. 7.
