True they're not always useful immediately, but later on in the game, they can sometimes tip the balance as far as figuring out who is a mafian or not. And splitting 50/50 is still better than a pure majority with everyone bandwagoning as we've seen with Synthesist before. Generally speaking, the only times voting doesn't help is when everyone votes for a different person and there is no clear majority of any kind. And even that has it's uses, but as you said, that doesn't happen much in SP games. Anyway, this is all getting into meta game talk, so I think I'll try to stop here, but I still feel that anything that gets people to vote isn't a bad thing, and the lack of aggressive voting has hurt the town in early games before as no one wants to take the risk and get things started.
Agreed. However, there are still several players who have established themselves as crisis-only voters. We can expect that to happen here as well, meaning perhaps they should be our targets - they'll be otherwise impossible to get a read on unless they are forced to defend themselves.
