Revealing WHY you think someone is scum

[Kelly Chen]

I believe it's usually a good idea. But I think people overemphasize the importance of it, as though the mere fact that you're going after somebody is not already useful information.

I often find it rather scummy when people seem eager to present all their reasons at the time they vote. Looks like they're trying to avoid giving anyone an excuse to ask them more about it.

Basically, if I just Vote: Simeneon in a game without any reason, far into the game, when Simeneon isn't under scrutiny, it'll be out of place, and I'll look like I'm trying to shift attention.

It'll look out of place whether you give reasons or not. If you don't give reasons it'll actually look less like you're trying to manipulate other voters, since no one will blindly follow such a vote.

More than once I've seen the response "If you're saying you investigated me, you must be insane" or "I must be a miller."
