You should not rely on this. I could (still can, from your point of view) have been scum trying to buddy up with you. But you know you can trust my advices, as if you meta me (especially the newbie games where I acted as tutor), you will find that I never, ever given any advices for any other reason than helping.

Flipping is dying. When you die, your alignment and role are revealed, and if the person flips town, you then know that you can trust everything he said, as good town do not lie (except sometimes, in very limited way designed to fool scum, but it's dangerous and you're not good enough for this yet).

Do look at the lynch of Twistedspoon, but for what NOT to do! There was not a single good reason given for voting him.
Valid scumtells all revolve around one concept : scum motivation. Why they are doing this, why they are not doing this, what do they have to gain, etc. This is the one and only basis that got me this scum lynch ratio, which is 3 times higher than average.
But there are literally tons of scumtells that you can use (this is a very, very incomplete list) :
- weak voting : scum have to obtain mislynches, but they know that the persons are town, so they have trouble finding good reasons for voting them ;
- past motivation (meta) : what they did in the past, and might want to, consciously or not, do it again ; I used it in my last game to nail Battousai, if you want to check it out ;
- avoiding voting for scum mates (but you have to kill one scum to use it) ;
- opinion changes about people : they have no reason to form suspicions since they know who's who, but they have to appear having some ; so changing their stated opinion about someone without explanation is very suspect ;
- overdefensiveness : they are more interested in staying alive than finding scum, while town would sacrifice themselves willingly to nail one scum.

Good, you're asking for his motivation. But in this particular case, I doubt you'll get any reasonable answer. He'll just say he's tired of the discussion, or something like it.
All lurkers unite! And jump off the nearest cliff. Now.
