Was trying for the Python quote. Not sure what your question on Bachman has to do with anything, but If I need to answer your “questions three”, so be it. ---

Quoth **Meeko** : > [@](#): > > ::Clears his Throat:: > > Should I be worried that Chronos is snuggling me, or is his more player trying to understand player, instead of role being opportunistic against role? I’m not snuggling you; I’m trying to help you improve your play. But if something about me or my play is rubbing you the wrong way, then sure, take a closer look at me. And if, in the course of that closer look, you notice anything worth pointing out, do so. That’s part of how the game is played, and anyone (including a vanilla) can do it. ---

> [@peekercpa](#): > > i like where my vote is currently and would strongly suggest that other townies move there as well. mixed it up a little bit and then has backed off. plus he is a son of a gun and if he is scum lord help us. and if he is town he isn’t doing jack as far as i am concerned. his vote for someone who basically did the same thing that he did just is disjointed. Well the reason I’ve backed off is that I’ve got a lot going down in work and life right now, and it’s not as if there really has been a lot of new information to comment on in the last day-and-a-half or so. Most of it has been incomprehensible, inside joke, rehashing, or incomprehensible inside joke rehashing. And I’ve already addressed the difference between me and Chip. Just because you keep repeating that it’s disjointed doesn’t mean it is. Repetition doesn’t make something become true no matter how much you would like to believe otherwise. But…if it’s any consolation to you, should Chip come up scum, you’re likely going to get my next vote. I’ve got some half-formed thoughts, but I need to think on them some more before I can present a clear case. Also, I don’t have time to elaborate a case right now anyway and will likely be unable to get on again before Day end. Plus, the case will probably fall apart if Chip is town. ---

I think that’s the best you can hope for. Most questions this game have been answered that way. I think any time the votes have been off, it’s been moderator error. IIRC, we haven’t seen any evidence of vote shenanigans or vote-weighting. ---
