NETA: AOP = added on preview  
AO post attempt: bloody 60 second timeout between posts…  
Also, I have no idea how my AOP wound up in the middle of my post and not the bottom. I must have screwed up some formatting.

I think the only two missing votes are **pedescribe** and **IF**.

Do we have anyone offering a Counter Claim to Charlie Pace?

Until such time,

and given that my Breadcrumbs back and forth were apparently wrong.

\*\*  
Unvote Scuba Ben

Vote Imaginary Fiend.\*\*

The 60 second delay is the bane of my existence.\*\* Anyone who has ever played Haggle will tell you this as well. – There are no timing steps in Haggle. - If it happens, it happens. – Even if you wanted to retract an offer you just put out there.

OreDigger can attest to what happens if you are on the wrong side of a Simulpost. 😃  
Scuba, I need to ask a third party here:

Does Scuba’s AOP in the middle ping anyone?

[I can’t act on it, as I was just asking what it was. Don’t want this to be yet another landmine for me.]

You did, but we still have a half hour. If there’s still a tie at 11:55 or so, someone’s going to need to do something to resolve it.

The main character finds meaningful patterns where there are none.

NETA: I double checked my Role PM. It reads the same as IF’s, except for the name (of course) and the bolding – in mine, the title is bolded; in what IF posted, the character name is bolded.

But, as I said earlier, I can’t prove this.

Folks, I have to go. I won’t be back before the deadline. I’m leaving my vote where it is. Good luck.

NAOP: thanks USCDiver. Again, it’s the same text, only the name and bolding are different.

So the three vote leaders today have claimed the same role PM. Whose throat do you want to cut – Allegedly Innocent #1, Allegedly Innocent #2, or Allegedly Innocent #3?

My problem is this, I’m not to sure I’m willing to vote for Chronos.

But, At the same time, I’m not sure my changing a vote will lower his votes on him.

WIFOM I wonder if Chronos and Allwalker arent both scum.

Could Telcontar, All, and I all three be town, lookiing at Chronos as town?

**Speaking only on the concept of curiosity.**

I wonder what Tie will do.

I mean, I think it will be a part of the game that Mahaloth really wants to start.

This blows. It feels totally rushed and crazy and I have not had time to wrap my head around all these late-breaking developments. And I’ve been burned by **storyteller** fake-claiming investigator before, so I’m really wary of that business.

That said, I am in a position to break the tie, and I will if I have to, because a tie could be terrible. I would much prefer to leave my vote on **Scuba Ben** because I am actually suspicious of him. I have not seen a compelling case against either **Chronos** or **Imaginary Fiend**.

Fuck.

Per the Canon, wouldn’t Locke be the Detective? Do we have anyone else counter claiming Locke?

In case a tie or a last-minute vote switch turns out poorly for me:

**ShadowFacts** , I don’t recall seeing your promised analysis of **cardinal\_fang**. Please cross check my analysis.

**cardinal\_fang** , please post analyses.

I would also like to see two people review each of **AllWalker** , **pedescribe** , and **Telcontar**. Whoever survives Dusk can divvy this up.
