Yeah but they were so entrenched in it that people were actually threatening others to drain their ELO for not voting the right way.

#423

I don’t see the issue, in particular since regardless of threat the person who’s right comes out ahead.

#424

I mean, if the town comes down on you with a vengance without actually lynching you, then that’s abusing the system to threaten others to stay in line or perish.

#425

if you’re town the people voting you our hurting themselves more than they’re hurting you, assuming you’re correct. It’s part of the game.

#426

You have one ringleader who uses their influence on others without actually voting them themselves.

#427

The most important thing as town is to vote correctly yeah

Being voted for can hurt in the margins, like GKB and Seth being on me D1 was the difference between me and M2, but that hurts them more than it hurts me

#428

Yay worst Town!

That’s fine, again, players making in game threats seems like a feature not a bug.

#430

In any case, talk about the ELO one will gain/lose while in the game feels like fluffposting, only this fluff feels like it might have content.

#431

Why should it be a feature? You make others lose ELO because you don’t like them.

#432

You can have your own theory on what is and isn’t useful but I don’t find what you consider fluff undesirable. People talking about the weather can be more alignment indicative than them talking about reads. :man_shrugging:

#433

You’re hurting yourself significantly more and if they’re performing well they won’t lose points.

#434

Yes, but you are kamikazing them for not doing what you said. If I’m a player who doesn’t care about my ELO, then your argument doesn’t hold water to me.

#435

Yeah, as long as you’re voting scum townies voting on you hurts them more than you

#436

It’s close to impossible to lose rating if you’re right more often than you’re wrong.

#437

If you’re playing ranked you probably should care about your ELO at least a little bit, yeah?

#438

Andres taking himself out of POE made the game easier, that should be rewarded #inefficiencyinthesystem

#439

But now imagine a lot of these Kamikaze players who manage to get them lynched and you start to see the issue, yes?

#440

I’m still not understanding the issue tbh

Vote mafia and your rating likely doesn’t go down, simple as that yeah

#441

If you’re a living organism, you should care about your life at least a little, right?

So explain the actual Kamikaze Pilots.
