I find it hard to believe that this would work.You don't need to be convinced that one player is innocent or that another is guilty. You just need enough to make a guess. If you refuse to make a guess, you're allowing wolf votes to count more. That's what frustrated me about yesterday's vote, there weren't enough votes on the lead candidate for him to have a reasonable chance of hanging.
Quote:Generally though, yeah, it doesn't make sense as a villager to vote for someone who will not be lynched for certain. But when I look at D2, there are several players doing exactly that. Can someone explain why it is such a big deal in pindicators case but not in the case of several others? We had a pretty close running D2 as well - and all those keeping their votes at others as the first 3 seem for me in the exact same situation as pindicator, no? We even have several players showing up slightly before or after the deadline and not moving their votes despite it being on completely irrelevant targets.Some of them were not able to be on at or before the deadline, and wagons can change fast. But yeah, I think it's suspicious behaviour when done by anyone. Which players do you think are guilty of the same thing?
waterbat, I understand your reasoning and I think it's terribly anti-town. Being afraid of being wrong and hence not voting for someone likely to hang is the worst thing you can do. Assuming you can be on near the deadline, of course. Thinking it over, I'm actually not sure if it's necessarily a scummy thing to do. Just very anti-town. It's easy to confuse anti-town behaviour with scummy behaviour, and it's terrible to vote for someone just because you think he's a bad townie. That might work on day 1 if there's absolutely nothing to go on, but even then it's often better to just go for someone likely to divide opinions.
