now I'm getting pushed for claiming in a way that I tried to help town despite not a single person explaining why I would possibly do that as scum.
See, it's statements like this that keep setting me off. You've acknowledged now several times that it was a bad move to make as town. You've also said there is no way you would make this move as scum because it's obviously bad. Ignoring the fact that I've given a set of reasons for why you might make this move as scum out of desperation, which I think are plausible, it nonetheless is strange that you're treating the anti-town nature of this choice as more town-leaning than scum-leaning. I think you would acknowledge that this was a bad decision either way. If you're town, it draws attention to you and runs counter to your stated strategy. If you're scum, it draws attention to you. The fact that you keep pointing out that it doesn't make sense as scum doesn't change the fact that it's a bad strategy either way.
