Hang on guys, I got this.

Oh, day goes on until Tuesday. Sweet.

PPE: I'm falling asleep at the keys. No way I'll be seeing any responses to any of this before day ends, so just yell at me D2 assuming I don't get the noose.
Sorry folks. For those of you in other countries, 3-day weekend is American-ese for drunken hedonism time.

UI: So that's it? You wouldn't do something that would "almost certainly" result in victory because "it would feel wrong"?

And I still don't see how that would be any kind of cover. He said he had a post coming in 2 hours, and rather than beat myself up to stay up and make a post I went to bed and read in the morning.

NF:

This post bothers me. Why go for the supposedly inevitable jester lynch instead of trying to find scum? Nothing is gained by lynching a Jester and if he turns out to be bad town, even more is lost. It would be more beneficial to hunt scum instead. Please explain your vote on ZU in detail, who your top scum picks are, and why you're voting ZU instead of them.

I'm going to try to be as clear as possible. We're going to lynch someone, right? We lynch D1 because we need the information. We could lynch a lurker, but there's next-to-no information to be gained (though considering lurkers are half the damn players, I'd almost support it just to make an example of someone). Which means lynch candidates are probably going to be active players: more posts, more conflict, more information. Now, of those, people are going to pick the scummiest one and run with it. The thing is, nobody has solid enough intel this early to be certain that who they are voting for is scum.

Now, I think we can agree that ZU has been acting very odd, yes? The HP claim, the gut reads, the made-up numbers, the scumhunting hypocrisy...it just doesn't seem quite right. And he's gotten plenty of attention for it. The running theory at the moment is that he might be some sort of Jester-y 3rd party, and sure, he might be. It doesn't make his lynch any less informative, though. He might be scum that panicked (I kinda thought that when he claimed HP, but it still seems off), in which case yay scum lynch D1. And yes, he may very well be town. But since I don't feel I can lynch scum D1 with any degree of certainty, I'd rather go for the one that's confusing the hell out of me and being a lightning rod than fire into the crowd on a hunch. If others think they've got better aim than I do, by all means, put your vote where you want. I feel that a ZU mislynch, while unfortunate, would be better than mislynching any of the other active players. And if ZU flips 3rd party or scum, then we'll be in good shape.

IO: In order:

-Because the way I see it, he's either scum, a liability, or a distraction.
-I think his meta is always a really passive D1, but damn. He has been sick and working hard apparently, but he needs to have one hell of a D2.
-At the time, I thought it was because of his jumping to ZU's defense. In my defense, I'd had a little to drink. Toaster coming to ZU's defense if they were both scum would have had to happen a lot earlier if it were actually happening.
-I think two people can come to different conclusions.
-What makes the wordcount important? I thought he was lurky, but his posts have had better content than some of the others (NF, Shake).
-See above. I thought maybe Toaster was scum covering for ZU scum, but the odds of that are slim.

I'll play it! In.

Broken just like your link.

Just a few hours to go, and Think is MIA with the vote tied. Looks like you get to play judge and jury, Toaster.

Good luck! (And Extend in the off chance that people want to)

Well, we've got about four and a half hours. Plan?

Well, if Book's action failing to resolve N1 because the target dies, he might count as Primed (UI's auto). If he was primed, he should have gone up in flames with Shake. He didn't, and I didn't know if it was because he legtimately didn't get primed, or because he did get primed and Web forgot to process it. I really think it's the first (he didn't get primed), but I would like to confirm it.
