If nothing else, jumping onto a pileon when the piled-upon is winning by not much is pretty scummy anyway. I’m sticking with **Freudian** until something better shows up–I’m not averse to either her or **Diggit** swinging–this is the first time in a while I haven’t felt the need to lead the “shutting down strategy talk is anti-town” charge, and it was kinda refreshing to just watch it go by. ---

I’d feel better about this if Diggit fought this one, but since he’s being quiet and not and hasn’t given me any compelling reason to switch, and unless there’s a scum out there who wants to confess, my vote stays. On to other things, since I have taken some heat today from the likely vig, which might mean I won’t be alive after toNight, here are my player notes up to today, not in any particular order, anyone not listed I’m neutrally suspicious towards. (You don’t have to pay attention to these until I flip town, this is mainly to get my thoughts out there just in case). **Freudian** : scummy, for reasons I’ve already explained. Also her vote for Diggit had a note of self preservation. IMO Self preservation is questionable but not really indicative; this is a team game, some members of the team have to die. **Meeko** : not sure if he’s just pissing me off, or he’s being scummy. My main reason to suspect him is his refusal to discuss his vote on me + his hypocritical play wrt MHaye + kissing up to a very likely to be town. **Alka** : Looks like he was playing follow the peeker, his question of Guiri seemed like an attempt to create a big shiny distraction, although it didn’t go anywhere, so who knows?. **MHaye** , **Zeriel** , **Story** , **Mahaloth** : A vote and not much else today, in my mind quiet players are trying to avoid the lynch. Not voicing opinions in order to avoid the lynch is anti-town, IMO. This may just be stylistic preference on my part however. **Cookies** : Not as sure today as yesterday. **peekercpa** : Most likely town, if not, then give him the shit-pants ballsiest play of the year award. ---

Yeah, I’d feel better about this if he were trying to weasel out. OTOH, we don’t want to make it possible for scum to escape a lynch just by claiming Vanilla Town and wandering off, so like you I’ll keep my vote where it is. ---

> [@GuiriEnEspana](#): > > I found **Alka** ’s questions a novel approach and **regret not giving him a better read on me** from my response. This pings me somewhat, as Guiri seems to be assuming I am town here. > [@GuiriEnEspana](#): > > It was interesting to see him do a 180 on his case against **Mental Guy** but at least followed it up with an unvote. I haven’t completely dropped my suspicion of MentalGuy. I don’t think a vanilla claim is a good play for scum at this point, out of the two vote leaders I’d prefer to lynch Freudian. **Unvote Red Skeezix** **Vote Freudian Slit** I’m based in the UK, and it’s 11:20PM here, so I won’t get a chance to check in until tomorrow. ---
