The following has been bleached. > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Vote **DiggitCamara** because he’s voting for an odd reason and because I want to totally buck the trend of the evil scummy one being third on a bandwagon. > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I just think it’s odd that **DiggitCamara** thinks it’s SO obvious. Not necessarily suspicious, just hella weird. And **Diggit** ’s a good first vote. He’s certainly stirring the pot. Allwalker has already noted this, but upon re-reading I think he is right here. This strikes as scum trying to find a reason for a vote. What is worse is the comment about stirring the pot. **Town is supposed to stir the pot** in order to get the scum to come to the top. Scum would like nothing better than to keep quiet and have people vote for the noisy ones. The earlier link to the previous gastard game I was in should make that clear. The scum that was busy posting got noted early but the quiet one just flew under the radar. As such **UNVOTE** Vote **Freudian Slit** Having said that, this is still not a strong reason, just stronger than my previous. ---

just to keep the mods on their collective toes. **mod question: all kills are mandatory. you can not kill yourself. if you don’t submit a kill [random.org](http://random.org) determines the kill. what happens if you don’t kill and [random.org](http://random.org) selects you?** is this a tic-tac-toe wargames scenario? ---

In any case, I did say it was weak. and just so we are clear. i was merely stating my op that a no lynch vote is worse than no vote. additionally, i believe that what **coca cola man** was referring to was the speculation not the voting. as usual, if i am wrong feel free to correct me, **cokie**. ---

**unvote mahaloth** because this game is compressed and small in number (relatively). **vote darthsensitive** two posts. sign up post and pm “botten”. i checked babel fish and the only thing that i got on botten is dutch to bud out. vote the lurker until he “buds out” and posts some. ---

> [@AllWalker](#): > > There were 3 posters who voted for **DC** with little explanation and after a bandwagon was established - **BillMC** , **ColdPheonix** , **Mahaloth**. Add this to [#187](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11542905&postcount=187) where Mahaloth supposes a post restriction on DC - this point I am ambivalent on. In my eyes it looks like DC thought he was explaining himself when he wasn’t, and this could look like a post restriction, but it also looked like Mah was aggressively leaping on DC for not explaining himself clearly. (That last sentence doesn’t quite make sense, but I hope I am being clear. If not I will try again when not so tired). > > Then there was the lack of unvoting after DC clarified his arguments, which Mah later said he simply forgot to do. > > In short, I think Mah has addressed these points, but I can still see a Scum angle behind it. A Town angle, too, but when isn’t that the case? 1. I was kind of “nudging” by kidding in asking about DC having a post restriction. I assumed he didn’t, but it is a gasterd game. 🙂 2. I didn’t feel like I was being aggressive in my lean, but I guess I can see it if one is looking for scum, which we all are. 3. I don’t see a big scum angle to what I did, but I agree that it’s very hard to tell. Anyway, I’m going to go through carefully today(by this evening or so) and try to see if I can see anything scummy about any particular individual. I’ll place my vote tonight, so others can see and process. 🙂 ---

Botten == Gotten with the g turned into a B Still, I also will **Unvote BillMC** **Vote Darth Sensitive** especially since the last game I watched him in, he mostly lurked his way to a scum win. (I may well switch my vote back to one of the **Diggit** bandwagon-jumpers - I see no real difference between **Mahaloth** , **ColdPhoenix** , and **BillMC** on that front.) ---

You are completely misreading what I wrote. I said we should wait for the results of Night 1 before we start speculating on what the set up is. Go back and read the beginning of the Day. It was all discussion along the lines of “I bet we have 5 NKs, 12 docs, and a partridge in a pear tree!”. Once a true Night has passed, we’ll be better able to judge what we may or may not have in terms of set up. ---

and lets try this. the lynch order will be determined inverse to alphabetically if there is a tie. ---

OK, I’m back. Anyway, I’m in a bit of a situation. I don’t know who to vote for(don’t we all), but I have a few ideas. I still think Normal Phase’s comment about “how long we went” with not votes was weird and was a really, really, lame way to lead into his vote for texcat. [Read his comment here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11543287&postcount=202) So: FOS Normal Phase for coming up with a very weak argument. However, I am not in the position to be able to be able to just vote for anyone. I’m on the chopping block and I know I’m town, so I have to protect myself, as did Diggit. Self-defense vote: **Vote DiggitCamera** However, if some move off me and I’m not on the chopping block, I will change my vote immediately. Who has not voted or even indicated suspicion? That’s way more anti-town than anything else. I’m going to go take a look at that now, in fact. 🙂 ---

First, is Darth Sensitive even playing? He has signed up and confirmed his PM. That is all. I think it’s lame to kill Diggit or me, honestly, when one someone is more or less gliding along, not voting, hiding, and slipping past everyone. Am I crazy to think that? ---

Now that I’ve seen Diggit’s explanation of his actions, I don’t really feel all that inclined to vote for him. But if Darth hasn’t even said anything, we might as well get rid of him. **Unvote Diggit Camara** **Vote Darth Sensitive** ---

Anyone else? I can’t really move my vote while I’m in a tie. I would totally move to Darth Sensitive if I woudln’t be self-lynching myself by doing so. Diggit, do you feel the same? 😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inblourious-gasterds-mafia/509280.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inblourious-gasterds-mafia/509280.md?page=14)
