You're concerned over whether we can vote, rather than the voting itself.

Didn't you recently say you were going to do this when you, in fact, rolled scum?

Please confirm/deny truthfully, I don't want to do research.

Mmm.. not quite. I asked because I'm not sure what's acceptable or not and I wanna follow the mod rules, but that doesn't mean I'm not concerned with who's voting who. I think that's a pretty big leap to take without actually asking me what I thought about any of the votes.

In post 2, davesaz wrote:Day will start after 10 confirmations

Because this says we start after 10 confirmations so I wanted to know if they were just joke votes or serious votes or what. The mod hasn't officially announced the start of the game so are all these votes actually meaning something or are people just joking around with each other? It's important for me to understand the basis and intention of a vote if I'm going to evaluate whether it's worthwhile or not, don't you think?

Well, see my last post. I'm not really sure. I'm having a hard time following the conversation, to be honest, and I'm still confused about the game start thing, because no one has really answered me.

But I just meant that guy attacked me with a fallacious argument without bothering to actually question me first. It seems weird.

I mean, you say you're not joking but you voted me without saying why, and this is the first time you're actually talking to me, so I don't really understand how you can vote someone first and then come up with reasons to vote for them after.

I also discussed why I thought that was a bad argument, but you don't seem to care about that. You are fine taking his argument as your own but unwilling to address any rebuttals for it?

What if he is? I want to know why you think his opinion is more valuable than your own? I mean, if you agree with something, that's fine, but the fact of the matter is that he's wrong, and not only that, I made a very clear case on why his reasoning is faulty, but you haven't really talked about that.

I mean, if you don't know a person's intentions, it seems unwise to so easily follow their argument. It's not like you came up with it on your own so it's not like you know exactly why he made that statement. It seems kind of easy to follow someone else's reasoning, since when questioned you don't actually have to explain it, you can just say "I'm using his argument" and shirk all the responsibility for the vote.
