I’m not sure that’s a well based suspicion. I know that I, in the past, have made vote counts in an effort to get a basis for my own analysis, and it’s natural that when a player is under pressure to post something they’ll make a post that will enhance their own understanding of the game. Vote counts are a good way to show activity and consideration without necessitating a stand on a particular issue, which is something most villagers avoid on day one due to a general lack of information.
