Even if it's a pointless vote as far as a total standpoint, I feel it serves to showcase something of the logic, personality, and deeper meaning behind the people participating. Those that are townies and don't participate by voting are significantly hurting the town. As we can see that though there's still a large number of people left, the number of voters has declined down to just the three of us who have voted consistently. For a time I felt that the mafia must be amongst that number, but I think that was precisely the mistake that they were looking for. Pitting the active players against each other is a brilliant strategy because it requires no work on their part. Our own suspicions have killed off many of our active voters numbers. Unfortunately we did a lot of the mafia's work for them, and now, hopefully we'll redress that a bit.
Agreed for the most part. The mafia presence is minimal at best amongst the active voters. I'm beginning to see why forcing at least some discussion from inactive players is a good thing to include in the rules, and will likely do so in my game.
