I haven’t heard anything this ridiculous since I accidentally called the Walrus Hotline.

Anyway. You’re wrong–he said as much as “questions asked in the main thread can be read and responded to by town and scum alike. Be careful about it.” To which I’d add–many strategies are wasted from tossed out there at the wrong time because scum read them and could react.

And I didn’t even read Crimson Glyph, so this isn’t me grumpy at you for being Meeko, it’s me grumpy at you for being a complete spaz-o-tron.

That said, I don’t see much suspicious in this thread thus far, even coming back from a weekend out. The closest thing to “evidence” that I see is **pedescribe** ’s little dance number around **Chronos** , and that doesn’t even register a “vote”, just a “FOS”.

On a tangent thought, thinking about how scum might vote for lynches leads me to the following question:

**Can the scum talk during the day?**

If they can, and we know it, that means we can be on the lookout for coherent patterns of vote manipulation based on mid-Day events, since the scum is more able to coordinate them.
