Oh boy I was waiting for somebody to bring this up. Yes, my intention was to bait an early vote. 100%. I will fully admit that.

But I very much aimed it at scum, not town. Let's think of it the following scenarios:

A) Scum believes me and votes for the other townie. They just outed themselves, so I and the other townie vote for the scum. Ideal scenario.

B) The townie doesn't believe me and votes me as scum. If I were scum, I can't do anything here but it certainly doesn't look good for me. If I were town, then the other scum comes and hammers.

C) The townie believes me and, believing the game is doomed, snap votes somebody. We obviously lose here if they vote me and I am town, but somebody who tosses out a snap vote like that as town would be, to put it bluntly, extremely foolish.

D) No one believes me and the game just simply goes on.

There isn't a benefit at all to doing my stunt as scum. If I'm calling out the other "scum" and asking them to vote, why the hell would town vote in response? I'd have a very huge risk of losing the game as scum by doing this.

A town person doing something like that is a huge risk. It's an instant loss if you bait the person you don't want to bait. You can't argue against that. I have a hard time believing a town person would think scum was likely enough to bait to take the risk. I'm not even sure I get the last paragraph.
