Very good, that is one reason. Conflict can definitely lead to game progression and that is really one of the most important things to do as town. Scum would sit idly by and watch town destroy each other. It is our responsibility to determine who is scum and one of the most successful ways is to find someone not contributing any worthwhile content or someone who is pushing weak ass reads.
One of the other reasons people sometimes opt out of RVS or RQS is because they don't want to give away any associations or disassociations that can be used against them later in the game.
Unvote Alina
You are going in my town pile for your interactions so far.

Also,
VOTE: Formerfish because I'm curious as to why he's not a fish anymore. Er, wait, maybe it's the start of a letter "for merfish"? And wouldn't a merfish just be the same as a regular fish? Uh, never mind, I'm sticking with "former fish".
Hello to you too!

I would highly recommend getting yourself an avatar, it makes things so much easier for everyone else in the game to quickly identify who you are without having to look at your name all the time.
On a game related note I could see newbtown getting a little antsy with a vote here, especially if they don't know exactly what is going on. I could also see newbscum here freaking out that they may have been caught so early. I will be keeping an eye on you.

. If I'm not around, or they see a Mafia-Related question posed, they are more than capable of answering as well. They are SE's which stands for (Semi-Experienced) players.
1. How many games of Mafia have you played (specifically on Mafiascum.net) in your lifetime?
2. What's most appealing about these games to you?
3. What is your personality like usually? This is a pretty important question to decipher scumminess from personality, in my opinion.
Awww, Neil you are going to make me blush
And I will play along with the questions because I think it will give the newbies a better idea of who we are as players.
1. I started on this site about a year ago, following my brothers lead. We played together on Gamefaqs for awhile and then the scene died out there and I needed a fix. I've played around 10 games on that site and around 15 games solo here, and another 5-7 games as part of a hydra (where 2 or more players play together under a shared name).
2. The most appealing part is digging through peoples words and finding scum when I am town, and using my words to trick people when I am scum. The thrill of the hunt as it were.
3. My personality while playing can vary from game to game. Sometimes I can be very subdued and like to lurk in the shadows waiting for people to screw up. Sometimes I can be very in your face and caustic. Sometimes I get confused and say stupid things. Each game is different and needs to be played that way. I know some people have very predictable metas (they play each and every game the same way and people can pick up on certain tells that they will exhibit as each alignment).
@Alina
- What do you hope to get from Jopalopa explaining their RVS vote on me? Do you find yourself to be a better liar or detector?
@Shaddowez
- Town usually doesn't care about random votes on them because they will be able to come off as townie eventually. Scum get really freaked out by votes on them. Until you are at l-2 or l-1 (Lynch in 2 votes, or Lynch in 1 vote respectively) you really shouldn't worry about votes on you like that. Where did you play your Mafia before here?
@Babisoup
- Your answers are quite elegant and gregarious... wait no, they were the opposite of those words. Shy?
Is Luceatluxvestra, or as I will now forever call them Luc, the only one we are waiting to hear from? Do you guys think this slot is more likely town or scum based off the fact that we are waiting to hear from him/her?
