Bret, I assure you it's the latter.
I've been playing badly and thought I should come clean. But I see your point, I haven't really thought this through enough, what I've done is bad for the town, as now I'm distracting the town from finding actual scum, and we'll waste a lynch on me. I really shouldn't have revealed anything at all...

Next game I'll stop and use my head, I hope.
