It matters little to me how likely you would do such thing based on meta. You are clearly capable of doing it, and sure you don't need it to appear townie, but no one read you as townie because you were voting arp, I can't speak for everyone but you were in my townie list due to just how you presented yourself and your play alone. But later during the DP and that interaction we had pinged me in a bad way. I think you are a good candidate to be arp partner here.
