you didn't do that--- you didn't unvote to free up your vote to place elsewhere. you just unvoted to get off the wagon.

you say you are just 'interpreting my actions'. but you are interpreting them wrongly, and i have already told you you are interpreting them wrongly.

i did not just 'unvote to get off the wagon'. i unvoted so that i could free my vote to place it somewhere else, and to make it obvious i no longer supported a pretentious wagon. the issue is that i did not immediately follow my unvote tags with vote tags, which is stupid.

How on earth does it "free" your vote? You can move your vote at any time. It's no more difficult to go "Unvote: X, Vote: Y" than it is to go "Vote: Y".

The wagon was early game fluff/content-generating-RVS and in no way likely to lead to a lynch. So, you didn't need to balance those factors at all - the risk of lynching town simply didn't arise.

yes it did? the guy was at 8 votes at the peak of his wagon. that's a lot for a wagon that i started based purely on the fact that i didn't want a three headed hydra. try again please.

See: my previous post. The more fundamental point is that the very idea that he needed to unvote to "free" your vote is pure BS.

So he was at L-5. That hardly warrants "better get off this wagon" jitters, especially when the votes were clearly non-serious.

i'm getting round to doing that, though. it's like people who have not yet finished typing their next vote after unvoting have not yet placed it anywhere.

moreover, i keep saying i unvoted in part

How on earth does it "free" your vote? You can move your vote at any time. It's no more difficult to go "Unvote: X, Vote: Y" than it is to go "Vote: Y".

are you going to be absurdly technical about this? i only have one vote. therefore, i need to unvote to replace it. even by typing 'vote: y' i am still unvoting.

How is this being technical?

You said that one of your motivations for unvoting was to "free" your vote.

That HAS TO imply that voting somehow restricts your ability to change your vote.

The fact is, voting doesn't do that. Because, at ANY time, you can just unvote, vote somebody else.

So, the idea that you would ever need to "free" your vote by unvoting just makes no sense.

my point is, what harm was your vote doing on pretentious if you wanted to replace it? if you no longer supported the wagon, why didn't you explain your reason for that at the time? don't you think the town should know why you felt pretentious was town?

sure, but unexplained votes and unvotes are common. the town should know why i felt pretentious was town but in my opinion the reasons weren't compelling enough to be explained.

yep

to answer your utterly predictable next question: i did not vote drench in the same post that i unvoted because i was, like i have said, compiling a reads list that would determine whether i had a stronger scum read than drench

Okay, this makes sense now.

The "freeing" point is still false, since you could still have unvoted, but I hadn't connected it to you actually saying you were compiling a list, so it's false but now a non-issue for me.

The wagon was early game fluff/content-generating-RVS and in no way likely to lead to a lynch. So, you didn't need to balance those factors at all - the risk of lynching town simply didn't arise.

yes it did? the guy was at 8 votes at the peak of his wagon. that's a lot for a wagon that i started based purely on the fact that i didn't want a three headed hydra. try again please.
