Hm. The issue is that it's precisely the kind of thing mafia does - you're foreseeing a Town flip and distancing from that wagon while voting for a target that you don't really think is mafia, or at least haven't shown any effort attacking. It's also a good way to defend ATPG (set up a different target) without saying that you're defending him (by flip-flopping on 'he might be scum or not') so that if and when he or you get caught, the other one wouldn't be implicated.
As Town I'd expect the following thought process: "I think Stork is being pushed by mafia here. The counterwagon is ATPG, pushed by Towny folk." At this point there's a split - if you have time, you'll go "I'll analyze the Stork wagon to maybe find mafia there, put up a case to try and push them instead." If you're busy you'll go "I'll follow the people I think are Town on ATPG, though voice my concerns about the lack of other targets."
If I'm mafia (and so is ATPG), then the easy option to Stork being town is simply dumping my vote on ATPG and calling it a day - especially since I know that ATPG is very very good at wriggling his way out of lynch situations and he won't necessarily be flipped the next day or two.

Bleh, bussing. The high road for lazy mafia.
The question is, if you're Town, why aren't you trying to lynch mafia? Even all these last posts from you are defending yourself against what isn't even a single vote, just a suspicion from one person. If you're town, why would you care that someone's suspicious of you when there's day end nearing and mafia to hunt?
Doesn't seem that weird, I can easily see both town and scum giving up a little at this point if they don't like the lynch, given how much of the town is inactive it might feel impossible to swing the lynch.
I absolutely must go to sleep very shortly in order to wake up early to potentially assassinate a bunch of my friends on campus.
This is unfortunate, because I'm really curious about how day end goes.
You just admitted to being mafia.

In case any of you are serious, or someone in the future skims things, I'm part of my campus Assassin's Guild and we're attempting to catch each other with water guns, nerf darts and other nefarious implements of fake murder at this time. It's not related to the game.
