(This is unstructured as hell so bare with me a sec)

How would that be gamethrowing? I'm trying to win, I don't want to go through a whole game just to draw the game and gain no elo (I'm not sure on how the elo system works though, only played one game). Why should I care if dead townies want to win? Why should I be forced to draw a game simply because people don't want to lose elo, when I could just instead gain elo for myself and the other vampire?

"TL;DR - Gamethrowing = Intentionally trying to lose"

(Reference to the same thread made by the same user)

The whole point of the game is to WIN, not to waste time to force a draw which gains you no elo just because people will cry if you don't.

I know how selfish that sounds, but honestly the game is so dissatisfying when a draw occurs. 15 video gamers wasted time just to 'draw'.

Again, why should I have to force a draw? I get no elo, no one does, but if I let the vampire bite me, then the vampires and I win and get elo, while all the poor suckers who died or didn't achieve their goal are crying in chat and lose elo.

I'm trying to win by any means possible, everyone is. The post you referenced states that throwing your mafia teammates under the bus is a valid strategy and isn't gamethrowing, even though it basically goes against your goal. But as long as you're trying to win, it doesn't matter, right?

I know opting to get bitten is going against my role's goal, but neither is drawing. But at least when I get bitten, I win.
