Also, @ Armlx, what Raider-BA argument are you talking about?

The whole him calling you out for unvote/revote.

Vote Count

Bulvox (2) - PimHel, armlx
Natirasha (1) - Natirasha

Not Voting: Apothecary

With 7 alive, it takes 4 votes to lynch.

[Apothecary]

If I have to vote, it'd probably be...

vote :raider8169

Well you didnt have to vote but it is fun.

Any reason why as you are joining the game a little late?

[armlx]

Well you didnt have to vote but it is fun.

Actually, he did. Its still sorta the random phase.

Raider, why did you feel that BA's unvote + revote was necessary to attack?

I dont think a random vote is a must just something to help get the game going. I was just wondering if there was a reason behind it so I could get the game moving as well.

Same thing as to why I questioned BA and I assume its why you are questioning me.

[armlx]

But asking for reasons behind actions without them just looks like you are setting up for a mislynch.

How am I setting up for a mislynch? Questioning someones motive for something is never a bad thing.

[BlakAdder]

I honestly believe Raider. I might have done the same thing in that spot.

[armlx]

But early game votes like that obviously don't have reason (until they put someone at 3 votes usually), so asking a question you already know the answer to.....

I don't believe this makes you scummy in itself, I'm mainly interested in your responses to my questions in that regard.

I see, I think of it as something different though. If someone unvotes the random vote just to vote another person there has to be some reason for it. This early it doesnt have to mean the purpose of the vote was to lynch but that is why the revote stood out to me. I consider that to be the first real vote of the game.

[armlx]

That's the response I was expecting/felt is right.

BA, why did you feel the vote change was necessary.

[BlakAdder]

It wasn't really necessary. I was just trying to keep the game moving.

[Apothecary]

I joined a little late into the game, because I was in Ireland with no internet. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.

[raider8169]

Unvote, Vote Natirasha

Reason being is that that only 2 posts one of which was a self vote and the other was a bump.

[PimHel]

But I've read that he always votes herself at the beginning. It's his tradition. And I haven't posted nothing useful as well.

Not sure how starting the game off with a self vote works but to each his own. Either way there is no better place for it at the time and we have 2 others with 2 votes so its not any worry of a quick lynch.

[armlx]

Sometimes, esp. in large games, it can bait a wagon, which is good.

I guess, I dont see self votes as good but I am thainking more towards later in the game.

[Natirasha]

Indeed, I do vote for myself at the beginning of each game with normal voting mechanics.

[armlx]

Self voting during the random phase can definitely be a good thing, and is only a terrible thing once the meta of it existing is pervasive.

Um...what?

[armlx]

If everyone goes "Oh yeah, self voting in the random stage is irrel", everyone ignores it and it becomes a random vote that gives no info. At which point people stop doing it as its bad. Then it becomes "bad" again, so people do it again for reactions.

Its a cycle.

ITT armlx tries to sound smart.

[armlx]

Yeah, and that.

[Bulvox]
