Shush it was giving us good info
I took the executive desicion of realising the Flowergirl could just ISO people and easily gain the votes. The rule of not giving votecounts is only really applicable to an IRL setting where, well… you’d have to remember it. But on the forums it’s documented.
Forum mafia/social deduction’s entire principle is processing data into information. Votecounts are simply compiled data; a better way to look at multiple posts. Nobody learns more information or gains additional data to process into information that they couldn’t have already achieved without spending time. Everyone could just compile the data and create the votecount for themselves. I just do it because I figure that myself doing it is much better than all of you doing it individually.
In a turbo setting (such as the argument against ToL’s ISO), you can argue that votecounts do alter the game by causing chaos.
In an IRL setting, a votecount would be giving additional data that people could forget.
However, in a forum setting… chaos caused by time and people forgetting things aren’t factors. This is because of 48/24 hour phases and posts being documented and uneditable.
TLDR; a votecount is just data you already have being presented in a different, more newbie-friendly way. You still have to process the votecount in your head and understand what it actually means. I don’t do that for you.
