You're acting under the assumption the rule was DWAS' idea. Do you really think DWAS is so afraid of what people think that he would impose rules on a game?

Also, so far into this game, there has been nothing more gamebreaking than the capabilities of people just killing anyone they want in rapid succession. And the people doing it aren't doing it based on who they want. They're not viewing it as "hurt disliked person, heal liked person". They've said it's some sort of "strategy" (whether that's true or not is irrelevant) and they were going to continue doing this sort of elimination to other users. And even if it was being treated like a popularity contest, for lack of a better term, deliberately timing it so as to ensure nothing but one outcome is still unfair to the rest of the people playing. Putting the game into the hands of a small set of users is wrong for the rest of the users not involved.

This shouldn't be as big an issue as it's ended up being. And it's not arguable anymore either.
