I was only looking at voting patterns, not explanations.
It isn't the "not switching to EzekelRage" that I have a problem with.
First count.
Second count.
It's one thing to not vote for Ezekel but you actually pushed yourself ahead of Ezekel by switching off him. Unless you were extremely sure of Ynnek (and who could be, D1, except our Lord and Saviour ouroloborolo?)
I'm going to show the progression of posts after you conspicuously (though not at the time) subjected yourself to risk of a lynch.
(no comment on how you're putting yourself at risk to save Ezekel)
(Verelios creates Mazre/AbsolutBro/Ynnek three-way tie)
You point out the tie, but make no attempt to break it. You could've voted Ezekel defensively, shifting the tie to Ezekel/Mazre/AbsolutBro. Who would question you? Ezekel was voting you after all. It would've made sense. Or you could've voted Mazre, pushing him ahead, and saving yourself. Again, you can't be faulted for self preservation.
Ty4on breaks the tie.
Ynnek defends himself, retying it.
Sophia breaks the tie again, putting Ynnek in lead.
WAMD and melon are "cleared" under the assumption that you're scum. If you turn out to be town, then they would no longer be clear. In fact, I would begin to suspect them.
I thought you were being primed by scum as an alternative to Ezekel, to save his own skin. Ezekel would've needed collaborators, so I started to look at melon and WAMD. But when I viewed the counts over time, your lack of self preservation disturbed me, so I then switched my focus to you.
I am typing this on my tablet, so apologies for not being able to format and for typos.
Your vote progression is off though.

At no point did I put myself ahead of Ez. I admit, I did not at the time realize Mazre had as many votes as he did. I thought I had created a three way tie for the vote lead on Ez, Ynnek and myself. Not much later melonrabbit votes and I realize I am now tied with Mazre for the lead at 4. Which is when I make my "not role caiming" post. I have seen too often how last minute role claims play to scum by throwing votes all over the place.
Post #1079 is where Vere creates another three way tie by voting Ynnek and putting Mazre, Ez and myself at 4.
From there Ty4on puts Ynnek into the lead, Ynnek self-defense votes for me (funnily enough, post #1095 entions breaking a tie Ynnek is a part of, but actually CREATES another tie), which sophia breaks in post #1098 by voting Ynnek. From there, Xam gets a final vote to push the vote up by 2 rather than 1 to stop a last minute tie.
Honestly looking back over it, I am suddenly suspicious of my fellow vote leaders. Ez we know was scum. Mazre is town read a lot, but I could see scum jumping onto the ynnek vote (keep in mind I was vote 3, there was no "train" then) to try to save a bad split of scum/scum in the top few options. I also find it strange that the entire time Mazre's butt is on the line it is complete radio silence on Mazre's part. Not one post. It is possible, however, that I missed a post where he explained his absence. I only went back a couple pages.
Ynnek we know was town. I am town, though obviously I have no way to prove it definitively. I do agree that there is probably a second scum in the Ynnek beyond Ez. But I can guarantee you it is not me.
