I think it's at least partially because some people who signed up were signing up for a January game that never happened and for whom staying involved in a February game is problematic. At least I hope that's the excuse, otherwise, yes, it's annoying that so many people are being boring. I'm trying to avoid voting for inactives just because that's no fun. It's mindless guessing. But another day or so of it and there won't be anyone left to vote for. The number that's most worrisome to me is the number of people not voting at all. If they are in fact townies that means we're almost out of time. Because once it gets down to them, it's basically game over.
