Because who the fuck waits to vote?
I do that as scum as an excuse to not move my vote around (this might actually be one of Elli's tells on me by the way--and yes I say "one of" because I don't believe Ellibereth would have ONLY ONE tell on me), but frankly it's exactly that. An excuse. Something I do as scum in order to manipulate the gamestate to my favor but don't do as town.
I have always held that votes are the strongest tool in the arsenal of a town player.
Towns are universally given two weapons. Their voice, and their vote. Not using one is just as wasteful as not using the other. So I should ALWAYS have a vote out.
Furthermore.
I like to partake in the RVS.
My Alisae vote was an RVS vote.
And yet because my RVS content always has an agenda. My vote was also meant to generate reactions. In particular, I was looking to Alisae's reaction to my vote and looking forward to Alisae's "Okay mastina voted me that makes me an IC" comment.
Furthermore.
When I read chronologically.
Sometimes, new content is generated faster than I can read.
So if I waited to get caught up--I would never vote because I'd never get caught up.
Something I'd never abide by as town.
Why did I vote?
The better fucking question would be why the fuck wouldn't I vote?

This game gives the fucking proof that you don't. You're literally asking "how do you prevent (thing which happened) from happening?" when, by the fact that the thing happened...it's self-evident that I DON'T prevent it.

Because I was on post fucking zero when I posted my vote. Maria's vote was on post, what, 72? Something like that. That's a full 72 posts' worth of content I didn't fucking read until AFTER the vote.
