Who are you though? What do I have to gain, as scum, from pushing a lynch on you as P8? I could just as easily slip P2 a vote before deadline as per policy and profit.
Because it looks better to say "Well P8 flipped town but their post seemed pretty scummy" than to say "P2 is inactive and is a better lynch option".
Originally you wanted to lynch P1, which would give less results than lynching P2. Anyone can lynch P1 and scum may or may not jump on the wagon. It's entirely random. However lynching P2, because they're inactive solves the problem of inactivity and attracts scum more than a random pile up would. It's more likely to help develop a town profile.
Again, flipping your vote over to me, but as soon as I offered a different choice doesn't sit well with me.
