##vote amoeba for being deliberately obtuse. Vote me already enough with the buildup and weak rear end arguments

I'm having a hard time seeing how what you're saying lines up with your opinions.

How is an outside observer supposed to tell the difference between a player making a fake vote and a player who forgot to unvote?

It's a pretty big point. One of those is a real vote. With real content.

The other is not.

By looking at the quality and contrast between the two? Even my vote on amoeba has an actual reason attached to it. Knowing the rules of the game shouldn't punish me because apparently I'm too stupid and would forget

And for people "analyzing" my posts it shouldn't have. If you're going to assign me a reason for something, and you can't show that it's consistent with other things of the same nature, how is that my fault? It's obvious that it's not of the same caliber or quality or really anything and yet I'm assigned a lovely reason: I must have forgotten. How about you all assume I'm a good player, and didn't forget THE RULES and it wasn't a real vote?

There's a literal post that says any vote finder counts are not actually real and yet that's what some people are using as justification.

It's hard to believe that you'd not expect people to misinterpret your non-unvoted vote as a real vote. It's what you wanted gamer to think afterall right? So you go about misleading people with an escape plan worked out already.

Because he's peddling bullshit and I don't want to be lynched while I sleep by the bandwagon of awfulness. It's pretty frustrating to reiterate a point to infinity and have everyone ignore it to make their own baseless assumptions

I still like my Quinque vote, wins has done nothing to warrant trust, the fact that he's staying so noncommittal this game has me feeling more like a 3rd party.

I am not sold on the Squiggly case fully, but will vote him to avoid NL.

Seeing as it didn't show up in the official vote count and there was no discussion about it, I didn't expect any misinterpretation. I didn't expect it to be an issue at all because it didn't play out.

I would more expect people to forget to unvote because not all games are Ecco games than for a player to try and be tricky by not unvoting to get a reaction from a non-unvote vote.
