I'm not going into detail right now, but it is noted. Some people have just been lurking in the dark, not being voting, and trying to lay low, and others, perhaps even more scummy, have voted, but only voted on a completely random person and by spreading those jokevotes (and unwilling to chance them) they are effectively not helping, which is basically the same as a disguised surrender.
spiesr, rodion, mob, usAir, SG7, and tailgunner apperantly never voted. (sensfan is counted twice in the last votecount btw)
some big names in there too, i don't expect those to be surrendering.
Anyway, I am not entirely sure what exactly you want here. You criticize both those for haven't voted and those who have their votes somewhere other than the main case. Now, in my opinion these actions can't really be described as encouraging surrender unless the deadline is closing in on us. Not everyone will or even can have their vote on the big case(s).
In the case of myself, for most of the day I have been largely unconvinced of a link between the General's actions and his alignment. Right now I will wait to see whatever he comes up with for a last defense before I decide if I want to hammer him or something. Moving him from 10 to 11 votes won't really do much of importance at this exact point in time, so I will wait and see on that front. Its not like I have been scummarining through the day or anything, I have been out there discussing cases and everything, so I don't see why you feel the need to call me out for surrendering when I don't think I have done anything to that effect.
ok you must have misinterpret my statement.
what i meant is that, although some people voted, their vote may be just a distraction, i never said everyone who did not vote the general, is scum. i'm not that stupid, i'm just saying that people who refuse to add pressure on good leads are basicly the same as the ones that don't vote at all. i'm not saying "vote for whoever i vote for or you're scum".
