AOK's voting shenanigans are by and large useless in big games. Vote analysis is much less informative due to the much greater complexity of roles and number of players, and also people can switch sides during the course of the game, rendering their records totally useless.
If we unexpectedly switch candidates close to the deadline, there is always the risk that we'll run up someone important who won't have time to log on and save themselves. If we stick with our early candidates, this usually gives the important goodies a bit of time to try to talk to some people behind the scenes and get themselves off the hook, if they think they're going to be lynched.
Hence I won't be participating in your scheme.

They are less useful, but not useless. There is a big difference between the two. You cannot destroy the baddies with vote analysis alone like you can in Lite, but it can still be an important tool.

Also, regardless of the value of such moves, I still say lynching interesting players when choosing randomly makes the game less fun, and thus I do not support it.

I cannot remember the last time somebody analysed chaotic votes like the ones you're proposing and found baddies that way.

The only times we've gotten names out of votes is when we had a 2 or 3-person race and someone got saved by their packmates at the end. What you're proposing makes such "saves" very easy to conceal.

I think that makes it a three-way TIE. Let's see what happens.

Um... Way to much random voting. Lynching EURO at this point is probably not a good move, especially as I guess most scanners would have scanned him to check, at least I would have :p
Therefore
Vote Kathnar, to get away from a tie.

ACHTUNG!

Why are you not saluting a superior officer? Just because my star has been caught up in some administrative issues, is no reason for you to ignore protocol. Such slackness shall not go unpunished.
