Will make sense if you read the thread for an "Artist Formerly Known as ArdentEnthusiast vs Hoopsguy" throwdown.

Well, I've spent too much of my morning reviewing this game. For people who were not around back then, I would recommend just skipping ahead to Post #898 and reading that whole day, ending with Post #1114.

I think this is one of the most unusual days of voting I have ever seen in a game of werewolf. I am just about positive that something like that would not happen today, given our familiarity with each other and the pure number of games that we have all played. But, back then:
- it was only the 16th game on our forum
- AE/Poli and I had probably about 5-7 games each under our belts, not quite enough to cement reps that we now have, for better or worse
- not enough of these type of showdowns had emerged yet. Stuff like this has helped shape some of the logic that is accepted as "proper play" these days
- things were complicated by the "Lovers" role

All that said, this vote was an absolute stunner and really cannot be justified.
