Personally, my reasoning is that Jim Groovester doesn't appear to be attempting to solve the game. The immediate counter to this is that it's Day 1, but... You know, this is a pretty important Day 1, and saying that I'm not impressed with his solving so far is kinda meh, but I feel it has some merits, so I'll instead point out my issues:
So, we have THREE traitors in a SEVEN person game.
This means the traitors can L-1 a Town Dwarf. Or, with the assistance of a naive Town Dwarf, outright Lynch a Town Dwarf.
*EJ looks at players voting him* 
Yup, that explains it.
The real question is whether I've caught all the traitors voting me, or if some Town Dwarf got caught up in that mess.
There are no hammers and the day lasts 72 hours + whenever TricMagic ends it. Quickhammers or last minute vote gaming will not work in this game.
This sentence is fine, but insubstantial. It's NAI, but it's also fluff. It doesn't really push forward a Town agenda.
I am not a traitor, no sireee. I am a normal, law abiding dworf who loves killing puny long ears.
Dang. Why are we voting jack?
I don’t think u can be a double voter
I think a compelling argument could be made to lynch you because you will never post anything of sufficient substance to indicate your alignment one way or the other.
This makes voting on substance a bit of a viable defense for my actions, but that's me proactively defending myself when that doesn't matter. Instead, I'd argue that this pushes forward a traitor agenda, since it indicates that nothing Knightwing64 could post would be substantive enough to unvote them. It's a very non-Town argument, and one I dislike because it pushes the target further into a corner. This feels wolfy to me, but probably only slightly. If anything, it feels like fluff.
Actually, thinking back, I'm confident enough in that to place a vote.
Knightwing
I agree.
Knightwing
I'm game mostly just to see if anybody screeches about it though.
Knightwing64.
You think it means anything that Knightwing64 spent 33% of his contributions to the game so far wondering why people were voting EuchreJack?
I think this is a tough sell to use against Jim. It sounds like he's non-committal, which clashes a bit with his "do it" mentality, which kinda gives me a bit of whiplash, BUT it's actually his most Town-sounding so far, in spite of that. I dislike his defense of the vote, though, because it doesn't appear to have a purpose related to finding Town or scum.
Don't have much time to post right now. I wasn't really expecting powers in this set up, but with how swingy that makes the game I think it implies that both alignments have a hidden ability of some kind. Otherwise, Web is effectively an Innocent Child for balance reasons, as a mafia member could force a double lynch at EoD without anyone being able to do anything about it.
I wouldn't go that far but it's certainly a very strong point in his favor.
webadict using his power
I've skimmed over this discussion and absorbed maybe half of it but I'm going to agree with webadict and his decision to use the power and announce it over holding it in reserve for some potentially more opportune time. (I haven't really thought it through but I think Day 1 is probably the most opportune time to use it anyway.)
There's additional value in using it at this point when the town has a numeric advantage over the scum team in that there's double the opportunity to cause screeching and gnashing of teeth.
This is just fluff as well, which is, again, just NAI, but a bit insubstantial.
Feeling okay about Roden, Maximum Spin, and webadict atypically enough. Not feeling okay about EuchreJack or ToonyMan or Knightwing64.
Dislike that he's still going after EuchreJack without what I feel is a good reason. I'd say the same for ToonyMan, but this feels like the first time he's admitted to disliking ToonyMan. Knightwing64 is already justified, so whatever, but I'm interested in what he finds off about ToonyMan. Anything in particular?
Overall, it just feels like Jim is a bit more on the ball as Town and a bit more pushy, as well. That's one of my biggest concerns here. I'm like 99% sure Knightwing isn't the King, so I want to see if Knightwing is willing to commit to this vote or if he wants to vote someone else.
