> [@Chronos](#): > > And the third prong is that if **Suburban** were the last Scum, he could have switched to me for the win. Except, he couldn’t have. Even if he knew he could have swayed **Astral** ’s vote, we were in a five-person game yesterDay, not a three-person game. In that scenario, he would have _also_ needed to sway **Cookies** , and I can’t see any indication that she was willing to jump. In fact, the one person she expressed suspicion of, other than **Wolverine** , that day was… [**Suburban** himself.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13466940&postcount=1296) So scummy **Suburban** did not, in fact, have the opportunity to steal the win yesterDay. Have you forgotten that \*\*Wolverine \*\*was in still in the game Yesterday? If he and I were Scum-buddies, doesn’t it stand to reason that he would have switched his vote to you in order to seal the deal? I have to give you credit, **Chronos**. I couldn’t have criticized you at all if you had resigned after Yesterday’s vote turned…but instead you’re going to go down fighting, and I can respect that. ---

OK, I’ll give you that much; I had forgotten the exact sequence of events near the end of the Day there. Right now I’m torn between refuting all of the \*other \*holes in your latest argument, and just waiting to see if all of this is actually of any interest at all to **Astral**. After all, you and I are not going to change our votes, so there’s not much point in us arguing with each other… ---

Hey, I won’t be around at 11 AM tomorrow to end the Day. Unless any of you object massively, I’d like to knock that back to 9 AM. I know it’s 2 hours earlier, but we only have 3 players left. **Day will end at 9 AM tomorrow.** 🙂 ---

Personally, I’d prefer 9PM tonight to 9AM tomorrow. But I don’t object massively; really I’m OK with whatever time works for you. I just don’t think there’s much left to talk about. I think the odds on there being any earth-shattering revelations at this point are pretty slim. ---

Either way, it’s before I get up in the morning. It’s **Astral** ’s vote that will end up being the decider, though, so his opinion is the one you need. ---

I’m calling it, folks. It looks like everyone is locked pretty seriously in their votes. Just a moment. ---

“So Bill Adama and Jacob from LOST walk into a bar……stop me if you heard this one. Anyway, they walk into this bar and Bill looks over at Jacob and says, ‘Eh, isn’t that Superman over there?’ Jacob looked over and said, ‘No, it’s not. I can tell from his aura. No way is that Superman.’ Bill insisted, though. ‘Seriously, man, that is Superman. I’d know him anyway.’ Jacob paused, looked at Bill and said, ‘No. His name……is Bizarro. He’s a fake.’ And Bill said, ‘Bizzaro? More like “bizarre, yo!’’ OK, so it’s not a great joke, but I like it.” Chronos began to vibrate. [No!! Bizzaro!! No Bizzaro!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69uEnLy5xiE#t=3m35s) **Chronos is dead. He was Bizarro from the comics. He was a member of the NDCE. He was able to look just like Superman; he was the scum godfather.** “Well, I guess that just leaves Bill Adama and Jacob from LOST. And you know what that means? I see a funny mixed-match sitcom! I’m betting Bill is the messy one and Jacob is the neat one. You two crazy boys go on out and have a great day!” The NDCE has been destroyed….along with a bunch of the EIUGC, honestly. But it does not matter. Suburban, who is Jacob from LOST, and Astral, who is Bill Adama from Battlestar Galactica, walked out of the Hotel of Heroes together and took their odd story of survival back to their respective shows. “Hey,” said Jacob, “I guess having bad series finales is the key to winning.” “I guess so, Jacob……I guess so,” replied Bill Adama. \*\* EIUGC wins! What an amazing and wild game! Congratulations Town! You are the champions!\*\* What a game! ---

Did we get overconfident the last couple of Days? I’m just heading out the door to go home…but I’ll give you an answer on that a bit later. I need to think about what my thought process actually was the past couple of Days.
