Because there's only five people in this game. We're essentially at LyLo already. If a scum votes first on someone and a townie votes second, if the scum can convince a townie to put that third vote down, three things happen:somestrangeflea wrote:Question: Why?Jester wrote:I'd vote Flameaxe because I have an absolute horror of Ramen (it's all I could afford to eat through much of college, and I can't even stand to look at it today),but I'm not gonna be the second vote on him.
1) we lose the targeted townie;
2) the targeted townie will probably vig the townie third voter; and,
3) town loses.
During a holiday period, I wasn't willing to take that risk. It would have been way too easy for motivated scum to quickly end the game with two votes on someone during that time.
