p-edit: Scum bravado.
How can you justify your position, instead of "Metal Sonic was not skimming and he decided to start a new wagon since he knows that there were no votes on the player"?
Occam's razor. That makes no sense. I'm looking for cause/effect. Not "Here's a thing that's weird, let me make up a weirdo reason to justify it, rather than search for the actual reason."
There's the problem, you see. You need to explain how you reached the Occam's razor of "Metal Sonic was skimming and mistakenly thought that it was the largest wagon."
You're already making 2 assumptions:
1. Metal Sonic is skimming.
2. Metal Sonic is wants to vote the largest wagon.
And two more bonus:
3. Metal Sonic's action is scum-motivated
4. Metal Sonic-Scum feels that Kaboose is an easy lynch.
Are you applying Occam's Razor correctly?
Here's how it occurred to me - I saw you make your vote and explain why when snowdra asked. The explanation sounded superficial to me, and I wanted to know why. So if you had another motive for placing your vote, what was it? In this game, there are two motives - town and scum. Town motive to place a vote should be based on suspicion and/or reaction gathering,
neither of which you indicated,
which means scum motivation, i.e. getting a town lynch as quickly as possible without being caught. So if that's true, why vote Kaboose over someone else? Like Firebringer (answer: because he's probably partner here). It must be because you thought that's where the vote needed to go. So how could you have missed that he had no votes? Must be because you've been skimming, which also supports the idea that it is scum motivation behind the vote, rather than town.
It is very easy to skim a thread and get a gist of where the town is moving. You thought the town was moving on Kaboose, you jumped.
p-edit: I'm at work.
Whoa there! Didn't you hear the saying "The absence of evidence does not equate to the evidence of absence"? How could you assume that because I "did not indicate" the "suspicion and/or reaction gathering", that means it is scum motivation? That sounds like a logical leap.
In a game, since players are statistically more likely to roll Town more than Scum, you are supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to a play if you "don't see indication of Town motivation"! Since this doesn't necessarily prove scum motivation, why are you assuming that this is the case?

Scum motivation: "getting a town lynch as quickly as possible without being caught."
But that's none of the things that actually happened! Clearly, the evidence shows, that the vote was not able to "get a town lynch as quickly as possible", and I also "got caught". So that's not true at all!
Here's an analogy. B walks up to a girl in a bar and says, "Hi". You, upon seeing this, immediately call B out for "attempting to rape a minor". Your explanation is that "He was striking up conversation with a young girl whom he did not know", and "The girl is young and pretty", therefore, using your rule that "Men usually talk to young pretty girls in order to go to bed with them", you finally arrive at the aforementioned conclusion. None of your speculations, however, are supported by the evidence.
How can you justify your position?
I am trolling you.
