I don't read Asek as scummy (n.b., no specific read yet). I don't agree with his conclusion regarding a preference for not lynching night one but his reasoning is understandable if nothing else, and the rest of his post follows through in his line of reasoning. He's so far portraying himself as a highly cautious user, between trying to avoid day 1 mislynch, the uncertainty over revealing neighbourhood information, and his warning against listening to neighbourds wrt lynch votes.
If anything this becomes a data point to gauge him against if his behaviour suddenly shifts, especially d1 or d2. I recognize twin's argument regarding attempting to stop town progress as being valid, however, and a mafia read based on that is plausible. I wouldn't consider that a strong argument in favour of lynching him based on what he's shown so far, though, as presumably anyone who's played circus mafia would know that day 1 lynch/mislynch is more likely to happen even if someone advises against it barring external cause for caution.
Either Asek is mafia and trying to avoid town lynches in order to gain time for the mafia
OR
He's in a power role that knows something about the neighbourhood information that is material to the game
OR
He's a vanillager who also happens to be a highly cautious mafia player
Or a fourth possibility I haven't considered.
