Agreed. Dice-roll voting is a post not worth making, and is a waste of space. I often think it's an excuse not to think or to try (or both).Simenon wrote:But that discussion is limited to "why are you dice voting", which is a discussion not worth having that often.IH wrote:Seems that the act of dice voting itself can spark discussion.

Agreed - sometimes you can get a sense (albeit a slight one) of someone's townness/scumness based on how they random vote at the beginning. (Most frequently, it's a sense of town-likeliness.) Dice voting prevents this potential read, and it is decidedly anti-town to negate a possible (even if slight) town read on yourself.Seol wrote:Random voting isn't the issue here, sometimes you don't always have a reason and if your voteisarbitrary, it's not necessary to make up a "joke reason". Dice tags are different, you're saying in public "here is my vote which Iguaranteehas no basis for reasoning behind it and is therefore meaningless". It's distancing yourself from your actions before you've even taken them."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia
