I wound up working last night, and have consequently spent the morning packing up for a short trip, so I’m trying to read through the last 50 or 60 posts to get up to speed before I take off… My suspicions yesterday lay on Oredigger and Mrs McGinty. The former for his treatment of the ‘Romanic leaving the cabin’ situation and for his sudden move to “vote no lynch”, and the latter for his insistent defence of Romanic’s actions. I’m not sure I fully understand the case against Chipacabra, but I suspect that’s because I haven’t been able to give full attantion to the goings-on here since yesterday afternoon. As I mantioned before, I’m out of town beginning in about 20 minutes, until late Saturday afternoon (Pacific Time), so I’m going to miss the end of Day 1. I’ll have no access to a computer, and I’m informed no cell coverage where we’re staying. With that in mind, I will not be casting a vote Today. With still over 48 hours remaining until Dusk, there’s plenty of time for more revelations, and I don’t want to get stuck with a vote on someone that I can’t remove. Good luck all, and I’ll try to get fully caught up before Dawn. ---

I just had a idea – hey **NAF** , you really want to tempt danger? Try posting “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. Just a thought… ---

Klaatu Barada Nikto! **vote Oredigger** On reread he still looks suspicious and it feels like there was an effort to get the subject changed. ---

I too like \*\*Stan’s \*\*plan[sup]TM[/sup] provided the Book can be returned to the pedestal by **NAF**. But until we get some more information about the book’s mechanics from \*\*storyteller \*\*or \*\*NAF \*\*(who’s information is suspect until confirmed Town) it will be hard to determine the best course of action. ---

Another plan could be seeing what you can figure out about the book, either by using it for a short period or asking storyteller. Then you can tell us about it. Then, maybe we can Vig you or something to confirm you were telling the truth. ---

Then you can tell us about it. Then, maybe we can Vig you or something to confirm you were telling the truth. I’m ok with this plan too. It’s more or less what I was thinking when I said I would gladly keep the book. ---
