well, because I have no clue who to vote for, my vote goes to borror0 because... bandwagon
Borror0:

Change your vote, then. Like all first-past-the-post voting system, the council lynching system promotes compromising. That is, if by voting for one of the two citizens with the most votes against them, you're wasting your vote and risking to die yourself. People will gather around the two biggest existing majorities, because they are scared, unless people like you pave the way. Vote for who you believe should be voted out, not for who the masses say you should. Be a leader, not a follower.
In a semi-related note, I want to propose using preferential voting (also known as instant run off) for the next town councils. Since, obviously, proportional voting wouldn't work when it comes to lynching someone, it would seem this is the second best voting system available.
TightMuffin:
Eh, I like this voting system, I see no reason to change it.
Also, I did change my vote. A bunch of times. Even if I weren't voting for you you'd still have no chance of surviving unless a lot of other people did too, so I see no reason to change it again.
Borror0:
Self-preservation mode it is, then. I vote for Arc da Rat. I'm hoping others find her a more appealing target than tomoya-kun - especially harpy and Muffin, since they voiced their suspicion for her in their previous post.

Fair point. I was trying to stay out of trouble. A rule in games like this is that, unless you're in trouble, it's best not to speak. Case in point: tomoya-kun probably decided to vote for me because I was the first name he saw after TightMuffin said "How cruel..."
Apparently, silence won't work this time around.
So, who's suspicious? Chiyachan. His insistence about how much I ought to die is odd, in-of-itself, but what makes him suspicious is that he was one of the two at the police office. Since there was no death, it is to assume that either him or the sheriff has been turned into a werewolf (in fact, that is very likely since day 1 has a 75% turn chance). Moreover, it's also possible that both he and the sheriff are werewolf. That is, he is the original a werewolf and he turned the sheriff as well.
I vote for Chiyachan, and I encourage others to do so.

Well it says only Newborn Vampires get disqualified for revealing their role, maybe Borror0 has stopped pretending.

What makes you think I would be so mindfuckinglystupid has to put a target on my back when I'm already in trouble? Think about it for a second.
You cite Kurses, but I shall remind you that he nearly got voted out a few times. He did work for him, but it was inarguably a case of Xanatos Roulette. I could elaborate on how that is the case, but you did it so well for me so I only need to quote you: "This is the shit that only happens in anime yet here we are [...] So you decided to use all your willpower to direct attention away from yourself, miraculously falling into another's Xanatos Roulette." Your words, not mine.
To put it bluntly, only a fool would think of using such a tactic.
To quote the brilliant Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality fanfic's Chapter 24:
"That was when Father had told Draco about the Rule of Three, which was that any plot which required more than three different things to happen would never work in real life. Father had further explained that since only a fool would attempt a plot that was as complicated as possible, the real limit was two."
Unless you believe I am absurdly stupid, there is no reason I would try to use a plan that is so contrived.
So, citizens of Baka Town, do you have any reason to believe I am absurdly stupid? Enough to attempt a Xanatos Roulette, really?

Don't put words in my mouth "This is the shit that only happens in anime" was directed at Airhawk for creating a nigh inescapable logic trap

Maybe because it is so mindfuckinglystupid to begin with? Why would someone risk certain death by putting a neon sign on his head? It sure as hell worked for Kurses and 1000mAh in the past. No one else but you put that target on your back buddy, unless you are trying to hold onto the excuse that fairies possessed the forum.
