One more thing before I go:

Here's my thoughts on everyone up until now :
zero: His play style is true to what I remember from my games with him: super defensive, instantly feels suspicious of anyone who questions him and incredibly stubborn. All of this reminds me of his Town play but the thing is that I don't remember playing with a Mafia zero so I don't know how able he is to replicate his usual behavior while scum.
prof: I like his input so far, I can sense a desire to move things forward from his posts. There's a bit of stubborness too in wanting to have the last word with zero but for now I don't detect any evil schemes behind his interactons so I'm currently leaning town.
spurge: I'm seriously impressed by his play so far. He wants to cut through the bullshit, I liked his interventions to get zero to focus on something other than prof, his observations are spot on, even when concerning me: my post this morning was, I think, helpful but relatively risk free participation but I didn't have time for more before heading to work. I'd say he's my strongest town read so far.
linkz: Good participation, shares his thoughts about players, tries to bring back less active posters into the conversation with question directly addressed to them so I'm leaning town on him too.
Mr.PS: He had good activity at the start of the game but then faded away a bit in the last days. I also found his reaction to prof's self-vote a bit strange because the logic that scum would never do that just does not hold but I guess it could be attributed to being a relatively new player.
Xander: Not much to say here, he's been mostly absent.

This is the most we've gotten from Trucks since the game started. Notice there's a lack of scumhunting in it. Even using process of elimination on the town reads, the best he has is not remembering a mafia zero, Mr. P has faded and said something strange but is new, and Xander has been absent.

As much as I understand the need to lynch on Day One, I've been very rarely confident in my Day One reads. I feel much better once there's concrete stuff to analyze in conjonction with the subjective matter that is players' posts.
You have the right idea by going by the process of elimination since it's usually how I can bring myself to make a choice of who to vote for on Day One since it's easier for me to know who I don't want to vote for rather than who I'm convinced is scum.
The three candidates you singled out are indeed the ones I would have considered for a vote at the point I've made my post. Now, a nice 70 posts have come between that time and now and I'm going to
Vote: Mr. Playstation
His outburst following prof's vote really rubbed me the wrong way. Especially :
The post Spurge and Trucks made are mindless, written only with the function of seeming active and nothing else (Especially Trucks). Not worth analyzing, I do the same thing everytime. My previous posts have all been to seem active but in reality they're just really passive agressive balming everyone and hence nobody. It's how I play. In fact I laugh whenever you or zero try to analyse them, 'cause they've got no substance and absoloutly mean nothing. (Not really such a great method to use from history in such a game, but old habits die hard.
First of all I take offense at my post being called mindless! I may not have the time I used to have to play this game but the little time I have I try to spend it writting useful posts but in reality it's the rest of the paragraph that irks me because it amounts to saying "I only do worthless posts town or scum, so don't expect anything from me", to me that sounds like scum not wanting to even pretend to scumhunt and hiding behind the excuse of "that's what I do all the time"
