However it looks like Giraffe is voting to save Zuma. This leads me to believe that Zuma might have a power role and Giraffe either has the power he has claimed (not that useful since we will all be watching how he use it) or he doesn't have a power at all.

So I'd rather lynch Zuma toDay and then look at Giraffe toMorrow based on what Zuma flips.

Vote Zuma
I agree with this logic. If Zuma flips scum, I think Town has to lynch me. I can't see a way to argue against it, even though I know I'm Town -- I would never let a player who swung the vote from scum to Town at the last minute go unlynched, and I don't expect anyone else to do the same.

If Zuma flips Town, I think that's pretty strong evidence of my Towniness, as I can't see any scum benefit to sticking my neck out like that to chose one Town player over another, but it's of course not absolute confirmation.

I also agree with your earlier post about a vote-blocker being of dubious and perhaps negative value to Town -- I personally can't see a lot of value in reducing the voting pool without strong reason to believe a given player will vote in a way that is harmful to Town.
