What does it hurt to keep the vote on? Why not vote someone else?
I've played with people like him before and his lack of actual wording or explanation is not in the slightest a scum/town tell for those players. Also since the unvote I have actually started to lean a town feel for Aegor.
For the record, once there is actual content, I will provide explanations.
To the first, it was a pointless vote at that moment and had the same effect as a no vote, so why bother keeping? At had no one else of interest at the time, I don't get this question because that seems fairly obvious, and it's not like I was avoiding taking decisive action because I placed another vote soon after.

To the second I expected as much. It's why I unvoted, you gave me the vibe of that player, and trying to force you to say something when you had nothing to say would have been a waste of time. A prime example of a similar player is in this game, Jake. Though if you don't do that later I'll gladly hang you from the nearest tree . :P

and, if my post was the reason you have your vote on us, why did it take for bert to say something for the vote to get dropped in the first place?

UNVOTE: Aegor touche.
Why did this warrant an unvote?
A few reasons, one I can't apply any more pressure than a vote and it didn't work so I backed off, I will be less likely to do this latter in the game but as of now it would probably have been a waste of time. I've played with people like him before and his lack of actual wording or explanation is not in the slightest a scum/town tell for those players.

You could probe a bit beneath the surface with some questioning, rather than just throwing a vote down and unvoting after what is a pretty underwhelming response?

Well if I'm reading his play correctly questioning more really wouldn't have goten me anywhere, I've played with simillier play styles before. So I'm fairly confidint I did the right thing.

Is it still opportunistic if AD has never played with Jake before?
No it doesn't because the way it was presented. It was a naked vote, as scum it would of allowed him the opportunity for people to start piling votes without knowing it is normal play style, but since it lacks explanation he has the ability to play it off like he didn't vote for that reason (or it was a joke) if Jake called him out on it and provided evidence.

Without him knowing Jake it's just a plain opportunistic joke but the extra safety from it being naked doesn't really apply

Does that make sense?

Also bolded parts are mine.
Yep it does. Why would people starting piling votes on Jake though?

I see. I didn't particularly feel like it was an insightful question since anything could happen in the time between two posts. But I understand the motives.

Do you think Jake's lack of a reaction towards this pressure, other than "no", is telling?
A bit, yeah.
The response I was hoping for was something that's more like "this is so ridiculous, who gives a fuck?".
I will also say that he felt very detached from his vote, which I don't really take as a good sign.

Not really. A wagon could have formed on me and that could have been interesting. I would humbly suggest that in general, at least toward the beginning of the game, unvoting is a bad idea.

Since we are asking irrelevant questions.

I meant it was still opportunistic by the way. I think I got the language screwed up in the first sentence.

I think it could get people to pile votes because it was early, and people like to wagon early, also it could seem like a legitimate vote at first glance. Hence me say "tempting" which still seems to be lost on people.

Even if you had a valid behind the scenes story, it doesn't explain why you posted that comment here instead of keeping it behind the scenes.

I was unaware of the fact that our hydra had been signed up for any recent games and the simple question of "why am I in this game" is boring and probably wouldn't get me a wholotta reactions and I likesme some reactions

why are you ignoring the followup?

They aren't I didn't say they were. What I was saying was that that naked vote could of easily lead to a wagon and been very beneficial to scum. I would appreciate more votes on ActionDan right about now guys.
