While I have previously been a cheerleader for the "save yourself at any cost" style of play, above all everything I do is aimed at winning. If I think I will improve my odds of winning by being lynched, then I will do so. In this situation, as I saw it, saving myself at the expense of W_E would have made me look scummy and undermined my ability to aid the town for the rest of the game. Don't get me wrong, I very much prefer to have a vote than to not have a vote. However, I thought that if I saved myself in that manner I would probably have ensured my lynch in the next round anyway. So, if I was going to lose my vote no matter what, better to do it in a manner that won't make people quite as suspicious of my motives.
