By counter voting me WG was not advancing a town agenda nor was he showing town mindset. He has outed himself. A more appropriate response would have been something like “what are you doing!”
Let's take this from the top and imagine you are town. From your statements, it seems pretty clear that you did not think I was scum when you first voted me, which makes it a coinflip:
1. Either I was scum, or Bur was scum. If Bur was scum, game ends, you lose. If I was scum, the game continues.
2. If I'm scum, Bur now has to agree with you that I'm scum for you to win.
Overall it has such a low success chance. I don't see you, especially with the blessing of Az, going through with a gambit that only wins in such a narrow circumstance. It would be Naka levels of ******* over your own team. You are not that bad at mafia, and Az is even less bad.
Ask yourself this, if I’m scum why would I want to confirm town one of the players. How does that benefit me? The answer is it wouldn’t. If im scum in a three person game I need to be able to have both Lynch options open.
If you're scum, you only have to convince one person to vote the other. There's really not that much to lose here. If I had the "what are you doing!" response you hoped for before Bur posted, you wouldn't even lose the avenue, and you gain basis to convince me against Bur. If Bur posted first, you get cred for "confirming" a player and gain a reason to sound genuine in your push against me.
Unlike the case where you are town, voting me if you're scum doesn't even hurt you. The only downside is that it's an anti-town action as I described above but that just ends up in WIFOM anyway so doesn't really detract from the benefits.
No, I don't think Az signs off on a gambit where you can lose on a coin flip. I think Az would only sign off on this if you were scum, since then all it does is consolidate your efforts onto one person which is probably good strategy in the first place. It turns it into your ability to convince Bur vs. mine, which is pretty good odds when you're scum and I'm town.
We don't have much time left
Fair. (I didn't think so, and if it's not, it shouldn't be, but that's feedback for after the game).
What does that even mean
I thought I did too but now I'm not so sure.

I don't think you'd be this quick to vote if you were town. As scum, I could definitely see you trying since you're kpaca.
More to the point, either Bur's already won or you are scum.
It's up to you now, Bur. I'll even answer your question: I'm not scum.
I'm here now but this time I won't be turned gay for you.
