Self-voting

[Mr Stoofer]

What's the general feeling about voting for oneself? I have seen a number of players (generally vanilla townies) do it out of frustration when a bandwagon begins to form on them.

I think it's out of order. If you don't want to play, you should ask to be replaced. What does everyone else think?

[Mr Stoofer]

I'd love to see your "never to play again" list, with reasons.

(I've surely not done enough to get on it yet, have I? )

[Mr Stoofer]

Commitment to the game should go right up to the final minute, IMO, and voting yourself is generally equivalent to upending a board-game you've just been eliminated from - just because you're out, don't take it out on everyone else

That was my feeling, but I am very interested in the large number of arguably valid reasons for self-voting that have been mentioned.

As a player, I would like to see the mod's policy on self-voting (whatever it is) posted in the rules on the first page.

I'm sorry about mentioning Mini 174.

I was just trying continue the "academic" discussion that was going on here and I didn't think about the effect it might have on that game. Me bad.

I've been in 2 games now where pro-town players (1 was a cop!!!) have voted for themselves and got lynched as a result. On both occassions this was a major factor in a scum victory.

It is really p*&##%ng me off.
