> [@septimus](#): > > Do super-bussings Scum-vs-Scum, really happen, as some (or only Suburban?) may be conjecturing to be the case here? I wan’t actually suggesting that bussing was going on here; I’m leaning Town on **ShadowFacts** , and if I had to pin down \*\*Askthepizzaguy \*\*right now I’d say he’s some sort of 3rd-Party, based on the fact that he doesn’t really seem to care who get lynched. But to answer your question, “super-bussings” _do_ occur, though not nearly as often as one might think given the frequency with which people are accused of them. They are actually quite rare, in my experience. ---

Well, so much for good intentions; I still can’t force him to use his extra votes, guts or no guts. The best I can do is make it 7 SF, 6 Septimus, 6 Texcat and make him choose, with his regular votes. He’ll obviously vote TexCat based on previous comments. Overall not that much different than me voting TexCat myself, only more manipulable if TexCat is scum and the others are not. Bah. good luck town. ---

Except for the booming thunderstorm off in the distance that’s heading this way, signifying doom. Very quiet except for that. That tally basically guarantees a townie death. ShadowFacts can pick septimus or TexCat and has the votes to single-handedly decide the lynch. TexCat isn’t voting for either of her competitors. A three-way outcome is bad because we really needed to hit a scum here, and also not give the scums options to pick and choose. I know me saying this is probably not helping… umm something more constructive: It’s possible that we learn something from everyone’s reactions. Still possible to salvage the round if there was more of a clear decision made by people. And as I’m speaking TexCat arrives and does what I said would happen. lol I’ve become Cassandra. ---

Sorry, everyone. I can’t be at the computer all day at work. I was away from my desk for the last 90 minutes and can’t stay long right now, either. I have limited uses of each power, and I don’t see how using the Voting power right now is going to prove anything about myself, so I’m not going to use it and hope I survive. I will happily pinkie-promise not to do any last-minute vote switching and powering up to save myself. I will, however: **Unvote Normal Phase** **Vote TexCat** **Vote TexCat** Purely a defensive vote. I am leaving the office now, so I will not be able to post anything further before the Day ends. ---

Well, crap! Shadows was pretty fast with his vote after my votes. For the record, no claim from me. Tomorrow, I urge town to look at those on my bandwagon. My theory is that the scum are following our vocal players, Normal and Pizza, particularly Normal from the look of things. After Normal voted, there was a whole wagon of people who jumped on me without much of a reason. My theory is that scum is following Normal in an attempt to stay out of her spot light. ---

Also, since I’m on my phone, I won’t do a full vote count until well after day ends. Currently, TexCat has 9 votes, Shadow has 8, and Septimus has 6, correct? ---

Normal’s vote is exactly divided between the two main lynchees. I really hope she was very busy, for her sake. We really could have used a decision.
