An important component of the game is that sometimes you have to make decisions based on odds, slim or not. Mitigate risk. No one is saying the votes for you are 100% definitely an evil conspiracy. But it makes sense to consider which of the two of you was more likely to have been put forward by wolves. It could easily be neither of you. It could easily be DVMD. Both of you and Moon Boy too could be wolves, for all I know. But we consider the odds, and we guess based on chance, and in this case, I thought it was a bigger risk to choose a player who had been nominated early. Wolves might not have put a single one of their names on the board. But worst case scenario is electing an unseerable or unlynchable wolf. So I voted in the way I thought was less likely to bring about worst case scenario.
(In another game, where the role wasn't so impactful, I'd love to see you as Mayor, for what it's worth.)
