More that it’s confusing to the moderator, who has to slog through it. I don’t see why you can’t vote one person and then FOS the others like anyone else would do in that situation. Plus, you keep saying how wonderful multi-voting is. You’re not going to change the rules of this game just because you think your voting rules will be better. So please, FTLOG, work within the framework of the rules that we have, not the rules that you want us to have.
And then we have this.
What I want to do is go back and look at when MHaye first used the acronym. If it was before you posted your vanilla PM, it might be a major TOWN slip rather than a Scum slip. I’d imagine that since the Scum appear to actually be called Servants of Darkness, then SoD might be the acronym more typically used in the Scum threads. And if the Scum can’t talk during the Day, they wouldn’t have been using the SAHM acronym, since I don’t think that part of the handshaking came out until after Dawn. I’ll go back and check, but first let me see if I can get confirmation from Mahaloth.
Hey, Mahaloth, can the Scum talk during the Day?
Now to go off and reread and report back with my findings.
But looking for Scum motivation in the voting is telling.
If Chip is Scum, he needs some reason to unvote him and vote me. The planned claim could have been made all along. He can make up a weak reason to vote me (the 2nd place guy).
And an investigator is an easier claim to fake in my opinion. A weak ass limited investigator even more so.

I’m not certain his reason to vote you as the 2nd place guy was all that weak - it’s pretty easy to characterize the handshake as scum motivated. You out **Chronos **with a weird “gotcha” game as well as possibly identify other town power roles… It’s not too hard to see scum intentions behind all that.
Spoken like true Scum who may know that Chip is Town, and want to point towards another Town lynch toMorrow
I believe there was also further discussion of Sauron and his minions in the handshaking.
It might be enlightening to do a search of this thread for “Sauron and his minions” and for “Servants of Darkness” I’m on hold with the oral surgeon’s office right now
Ed, I think your post 1783 got completely mangled, and I can’t tell what’s yours and what’s fragments of quotes. You might try re-posting that (presumably toMorrow morning, if you don’t have time before Dusk).
Sigh. Please everyone, MHaye already said why. His reason works just as well for scum as town. Maybe if you were scum you would not talk about it, but this is MHaye who would, as he has explained.
I don’t think my votes are confusing, since they’re always together in one place. I don’t use “FOS” because I think it’s anti-town. I’m either willing to lynch a player or not. It’s unclear what a FOS actually means, if it is more than a smudge.
If it makes you feel better, I’ll color my non-counted votes cyan instead of blue, okay?
It was rather soothing, at first. As the conversation between the Alliance of Light members continued, the wind gradually grew stronger and wilder. Soon, the wind was circling around the entire region and causing quite a disturbance.
However, the Alliance members ignored this and continued their discussions from the previous Day. While some members were passionate about their views, others were nearly silent.
Eventually, Chipacabra became the focus of discussion and once this occurred, there was no looking back. The case against him was weak, but there was no other individual that earned any attention.
All this time, the wind was increasing in strength. It was now difficult to concentrate, but the Alliance continued.
“Set him on fire!’ cried some, “It’s the only way!”
And they did. Chipacabra burned, never changing form….and oddly enough, never crying out in pain.
**Chipacabra, who was Treebeard, is now dead. He was a member of the Alliance of Light and had no special powers.**
It’s now Night Two. Day Three begins Saturday, August 28, at Noon Eastern.

Night time discussion topic(for those who want one):
How did you get your user-name? What made you pick it?
i am a cpa and i have a collection of curious george dolls as a result of an incident that happened when i was really rolling.
a buddy and i won an auction where we got a private plane flight to houston to see the spurs play the rockets. so we load up the wives and use basically the whole day getting hammered beyond belief. so we get in this six seater which is stocked with all sorts of cordials which i freely engaged in. and he let smoking occur in his plane so i am basically in heaven. we are about 15 minutes into the flight when i notice this button on the window that i am sitting next to that says “do not push during flight”. my buddies wife is about 7 months preggers and my wife is really kind of just basically tolerating this nonsense. but this button is really bugging me. so, of course, i had to push it. well fuck i didn’t know what happens when a window opens about 4 - 6 inches when you are around 20k feet. fuck, sucked my beer and cig out the window. the pilot was kind of cool. he basically told us to hold on because we were going to make a rapid descent. and the whole time that we were making the blitzkreig dive towards columbus my buddy and wife are leaning over me trying to pull the damn window shut. and i was just like whoooaaaa this is a trip. i think the buddie’s wife was just trying to not go into labor.
fucking limo picked us up at the airport, we had courtside seats and the spurs won.
the pregger wife rode in front with the pilot on the way back and i did not get a window seat.
the next monday at work i had a collection of curious george dolls and memorabilia on my desk (apparantly the story had made the rounds at work). i have been peekercpa ever since.
With the exception of a few throwaway yahoo email addresses, the dope was the first place I’d ever signed up at. I spent a few days dithering over choices until eventually I settled on Inner Stickler. I had recently read Lynne Truss’ Eats, Shoots, and Leaves. In the book she talks about the awakening of her inner stickler: that voice that complains whenever it sees an apostrophe abused or a comma misplaced. After reading that book, I too began to experience such feelings. Ironically, because I read that book I read a lot more about language and linguistics and no longer feel that I am an Inner Stickler. But I haven’t ever thought of a better name to replace it with. When I register on new sites, though, I’ll often register as sticks or sticknoodle because those are probably the most common nicknames people use for me. It’s really not an interesting story at all.
It was something I started using Senior year of college for email because I’m a huge Douglas Adams fan. Once I started joining message boards, I just kept it.
I also like to see how many people in real life don’t get the reference when I give them my email and they have to ask the significance, many of whom have even read THGttG.
The proximate source for my username was Piers Anthony’s Incarnations of Immortality series. I’ve since (thankfully) outgrown my taste for Piers Anthony, but I’m still obsessed with time, and I’ve grown rather attached to the name in its own right, so Chronos I remain.
