It seems like he would rather encourage other people to double down on their claims rather than really putting his neck out. It probably makes lots of people feel nice to have someone keep stroking their ego and agreeing with them, but you really cant agree with everyone all the time. He did have some minor squabbles withe people, but it was a tiny snippet of what he did all day. Im not throwing my vote down for him, but I also dont understand why everyone is finding him to have a villager-feel unless they enjoy being ego stroked.
I don't disagree with this assessment of me. I am generally not a confrontational person (maybe I shouldn't be playing mafia!). And, as you have also said, once there's actually a flip and some info, it's much easier to start having stronger opinions. My early game is typically finding the people I believe are most likely to be innocent, and then going from process of elimination.
It's day 1. Most people are going about whatever strategy they like to use to "solve the game," and I'm content to let them do it. I'm not convinced that it works very well on day 1, but plenty of people here think it does and have much more experience with it, and I'd be a fool to think I could lead the conversation this early in the game like they are.
To sum up the above:

Huh. Me too, and yet you find fault with me for doing it.
One more thought on Doc's reads in 638 and 639 - he mentions 8 of the other 12 players, and comes up with 1 town (Banks), 3 mafia or slight mafia leans (me, cue, Ratchet), and the other 4 sound like essentially null reads to me. For someone who claims, like me, to be much more comfortable making reads after there's some info out there, that's very few townreads and a lot of scumreads. I haven't seen anyone else come close to putting out 3 times as many scumreads as townreads. It's odd.
So I think Doc and I feel mutually towards each other. Not my top choice for a lynch yet, I don't think, but I'd be ok voting here for the various reasons above. Several people pushed on and defended him fairly early on, so it would also be a fairly informative lynch.
