Watch the number of times he’s tried to poke at people and then backed off from it when it didn’t go anywhere. I’ll count. Zero. I haven’t backed off at all. Count for us and provide the evidence instead of smudging me. ---

Well, **Mahaloth** , since you asked so nicely, I’ll provide you with the one that stuck in my mind since the reveal yesterDay. [Post 300](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13502004&postcount=300), in which you accused me of stirring up discussion of **Pleonast** to distract us. I ignored it, you didn’t bother following up…but it sure looks interesting now that we know **Pleonast** is Scum, doesn’t it? What were _you_ trying to distract _me_ from? There is one other, but I’m going to bed soon. I’ll get to it Tomorrow. ---

As Zeriel said, i was referring to the fact that the roleblocker was dead, thus narrowing the various scenarios in which MentalGuy survived the Night. It was intended to be a fluffy comment about how I couldn’t wait for the Day to start. ---

One stuck in your mind and you are telling town to go count them up, like I did it often and to several people? And now you think there is one more, but it’s too late to list? Even briefly? Why did you ignore it my question? I was trying to get people to not poke/prod Pleonast and drag out the long discussion on his game policies. I didn’t know he was scum and I still think that was a lucky lynch(which is what I said before the reveal). I have not backed down from anyone. My suspicions are in this order: 1. Drain Bead - Since we don’t have a counterclaim yet. 2. Idle - For his play style on Day One and his jump in, vote, and jump out method. 3. Wolverine - Same thing I said yesterday. I back down from none of these and never have. ---

Have to reread the latter half of Day 1, but until then **Vote Drain Bead** because I’m willing to trust MentalGuy for now and see how it goes. ---

I didn’t intimate voting for Pleo if necessary. I was leaning towards voting Mental Guy. Then Mental Guy claimed and I was OK lynching Pleo, though I would have rather seen Astral lynched. ---

> [@Zeriel](#): > > **Astral** : you are still on my list for voting to make a tie happen on Day one and not even acknowledging it. Astral did acknowledge it. Though he claims that his vote did not make the tie and someone else’s (Suburban maybe) did. It requires someone to go back and check into it. ---

**Vote Drain** Unless someone steps forward and counter-claims Cop, I can’t see how you’re going to get out of claiming, and quite possibly still dying anyway. I’ve been pinged by seemingly innocuous statements before, but Gadrene’s was not one of them. Along with many, I’m sure, I’m going to be examining the pool of people not voting for Pleo yesterday. ---

Looks like we are at 7 votes for Drain, folks. 12 is the hammer. ---

If nobody comes forward, it’s a big fat FOS to **Suburban Plankton**. A big FOS for what exactly? If nobody comes forward, and if we assume that means the Scum did successfully recruit last Night, how am I necessarily more suspicious than anyone else? \*\*Vote Drain Bead \*\* With 1 Scum already dead, I don’t see a Scummy \*\*MentalGuy \*\*making this play. ---

add a “unilaterally or accidentally” in there as appropriate, natch. ---

I will hold off voting for **Drain Bead** to give other players a chance to catch up, but it seems obvious at this stage we should test Mental Guy’s claim. I was surprised \*\*Pleonast \*\*turned out scummy but he obviously thought his usual play was a safer bet than his pretending to have learnt from previous games and calming down. He got loud early in the game and he had a power role, so surely the scum had a plan to divert attention from him and get someone else lynched later in the day. Have to read day one again. ---

I agree we have to lynch Drain today and then judge Mentalguy based on the results. What are we going to do with the timing? Hammer or let the day play out?
