How so? If the primary basis of your suspicion of me is my casting the tie-breaking vote away from zuma, then zuma's alignment is the key to everything.

Lynch me, I flip Town, zuma is still an unknown quantity
Lynch me, I flip Scum, hooray, go ahead and lynch zuma
Lynch zuma, he flips Town: I'm very likely Town
Lynch zuma, he flips scum: bad luck, go ahead and lynch me.

So, in the case where we're both Town, if you kill zuma you have a lot more confidence that the remaining player is Town than if you kill me. Because, simply put, breaking the tie between two Town players would be an unbelievably retarded play for scum to make: when I voted, I was under no real suspicion myself. If I knew the alignment of both zuma and Zeener, why would I do any of what I did on Day 2? It puts me at significant risk of lynching for no gain.

The argument that I'd do this to kill a weak Doctor doesn't really make sense. We've yet to see a vanilla player, so presumably zuma has some sort of power as well: as scum, I'd rather see an unknown power lynched than a weak Doctor, who scum can always Night Kill later. (The protection only delays the kill, right?)

Speaking of which, why are you still alive Idle? Zeener said he protected you Night 1, and you got the "lucky to be alive" PM: shouldn't you have died last Night?
