If a townie really thinks someone is scum, they should explain their vote fully, aside from a certain few circumstances that would hurt the town more (ex. They would need to claim they are the cop on day 2 or something when the town is not anywhere near LyLo yet).
Scum are usually less likely to explain their votes because many times they are pushing people without much reasoning, just that they know they are not scum. This means that anything they say is BS, and if any of that is proven wrong then they are suspected of being scum.
Also, bamboomancer, keep the damn football out of this topic kthnx. On a note, you also claim that Belgarion is the lynch for today, but you voted Thyroid just lines earlier in the same post.
