I had to vote for someone and it seemed like a good enough reason. I'm wondering why you're so aggrieved by a day one vote. At any rate, we need to be careful today. With all the non-voters yesterday, it could be very easy for the naughty scum to jump on and lynch someone that's not so active that has a penalty vote already.
This is a good theory considering there wasn't a kill last night. Nevertheless, in a game of five people, if there was a conversion, one wrong lynch today and the game is over. I think it's possible that there's only one scum still and they might have been thwarted last night. There could have been a block, or a protect, or a bulletproof vest, or any other number of things.
