Kanye is good at extracting the essence from a post.

As a serious response to this, I consider self-voting a trait of bad players. They do a shitton of dumb stuff and stopping to self-vote wouldn't elevate their play to bearable levels.

Good players don't rage-selfvote at least and that seems to be the kind of selfvote you are rampaging against.

So, self-voting is dumb, but not much is going to improve with self-votes gone, honestly.

In post 115, Thor665 wrote:Well, so you agree it's often bad - which means my view is often right - so we're really just disagreeing on a very specific set of instances then, yes? Is it mostly the "Day will bog down so self vote to speed it up" thing? Because I think you could speed up your own lynch without a self vote, personally. If it's something else then could you clarify?

Thor, I believe no one is arguing that you should self-vote barring a very specific set of instances. People are just arguing that at very specific times, self-voting can be a good thing.

It's assuming town always do things that are objectively beneficial to them.

That's wrong.
