I know he's since said that he didn't know his vote was there, but why were you assuming it's obvious that he didn't? I've done the exact same thing before as town, just using a vote again for emphasis.
If you are scum (and shotty town), and he answered your question awkwardly, you could use his response to justify a vote for him. I'm not saying that's necessarily what you were doing, but that's what I was thinking it could be when I said it "seems more like just finding something arbitrary to make a push on". It looked like a scummy question.
"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"
I guess I can see where you're coming from. I mean, you know from experience that I can find arbitrary things to push on as scum if I need to, and I did make an effort to not express any sort of scumread on him (because I don't have one, they were just probing questions).
I thought because of the way he made that vote it was fairly obvious he wasn't intentionally reaffirming his vote. It's true that I would have wondered if you had done it accidentally in the game you linked, but that was a naked vote and the original vote was only a few hours and a few posts earlier.

It's written as if you have a phrase ("vote is now serious") that you want him to say, and are pressuring him on the basis of not literally saying that phrase.
It's not a logical way to scumhunt, seems more like just finding something arbitrary to make a push on. Further, I don't see how shotty's response to that question is likely to help townies sort him. What were you looking for in his response?
This is a complete misrep of what happened. It was a perfectly fine question. Why are you making a bid deal ou of someone making a not so big deal out of something?

What do you think of mollie vs. BBT?
This looks really overexplained, like scum trying to make sure nothing looks bad about them.
I also don't understand the point of the question at the end, it looks like filler.
VOTE: Something_Smart
Maverick also looks very awkward like some others have noted, I'd like to see some analysis from him.
Mollie's casual, uncaring tone looks town, she can be my first town read!
UNVOTE:
that was fun, we should do it again sometime
70 is very likely scum. Here is BBT so sure that I'm scum and he suddenly brings up the point "if I'm town" without mentioning how unlikely it would be for anyone to self-hamemr there, probably because he doesn't want everyone to see my townflip and be like "hmm BBT was pushing him as an easy mislynch". As scum I sometimes fall into the trap of saying "if you're town" to the townies I'm pushing just to lessen the blow when they flip town. VOTE: BBT
pedit: nope I was only at L-1 because GL was already voting me.
