How do I know? That's exactly the way I used to play. I'd like to say _explicitly_ that I don't think aggressive voting is scumtell so I'm not accusing him of being mafia (though it could be SK or something). I'm just saying it rubs me the wrong way.
well... quite the opposite; voting aggressively helps getting a discussion started, helps wake people up a little... I always found it an useful tactic in the early game when there is just little information available...
"they're likely to really latch onto a target and ignore scumtells from other people"
well... actually this is just the opposite from what's happening, I try to jump loosely from one player to the next, as youngminii correctly wrote: "it looks like Tasky's just rapidly switching targets"

might be a liability later in the game where the scum could use his happy-go-lucky voting sprees.
look, as I told the switchy-vote-thing is a technique for the early game, from a certain point onwards, when a discussions is forming/has formed it's no longer necessary
but even if used later in the game, how exactly is the mafia supposed to use it? by starting a bandwagon from it, just so I can change target soon after? or by accusing me to be scum try to have me lynched, but by then you know already that it's just my playing style so that won't work out either?
so your argument doesn't work that well you claim it to...
