However, I missed a whole bunch of stuff. I am not sure if the day is ended yet or not? ---

Also have no clue what the “final” vote tally was/is. Sorry for missing end of day, especially if there is a tie. Argh. ---

I think that **pizza** and **texcat** tied. ---

I’d be surprised if Texcat’s votes count. I think Texcat got lynched with 6 votes. ---

DAY FOUR \*Oh! Rapture! Oh Delight! It’s a TIE. A TIE!!! After all the nice things I’ve done for you all, what a splendid way to repay me. I had so hoped one of these would happen. I suppose I’ll open this box, here on my desk, the one that says “Tie Resolver,” and see what’s inside. Hmm… subtract six, carry the FIVE, does that rhyme with ‘purple?’… fourteen square root of the inverse of the… BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP SURVEY SAYS COME ON, IRENE!! **TexCat** , who was Irene Adler, a Scum Backup Godfather, has been lynched. And while we’re at it… BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP I CAN’T THINK OF A PUN FOR THE NEXT ONE, SO I’LL JUST SAY THAT: **Silver Jan** , who was the chef Harry Macklemore, also Town (Vanilla), has been killified.\* * * * Day Four begins now, and will end at noon Eastern on Wednesday, March 12. All actions are due by that time. By the way: I’m not really sure whether I would have counted TexCat’s vote after 12 or not. In this case, it doesn’t matter, because the still-top-secret tie breaking mechanism would have ended in her lynch anyway. I chose to write the color as if it were a tie, because it was more fun that way and the outcome was the same in either case. ---

I give TexCat full credit for playing the role of the honorable gunslinger up until the tie was broken. Nicely done. I tip my hat to you, madam. ---

I’d hate to have him flip town because the conspiracy theorists would then be sure that I was the scum. Although I still don’t understand why if one of us was scum and the other town, that scum would need to bring Pleo and Dizzy into the lynch mix. I’m fairly certain because of this that Astral is town, just as I am. If Astral were scum, I’d probably have been lynched Yesterday. J’accuse. ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > Aw that’s my line! So, obviously voting for Darth Sensitive to spare TexCat would have been incriminating, there was a three way tie, so there was a decent chance Tex wouldn’t swing, and you were already voting me and therefore unvoting was a bad idea. It makes sense but you were here at the deadline not altering the outcome. With you and TexCat both getting votes, it’s a pretty wise idea not to draw attention to yourself by making a breaker vote. However, townies don’t have problems drawing attention to themselves. They likes to kill scumbags that way. ---

Here, Astral let me help you out. “Askthepizzaguy is clearly TexCat’s scum buddy- he was trying to save TexCat the backup Godfather by acting strangely and daring town to lynch him. He also keeps accusing me of stuff that he then turns around and does, and that’s annoying! He shouldn’t be able to get away with scummy behavior just because he’s townie.” ---

I’m going to start off with **vote septimus** On day one, he was voting for **Texcat** , **Astral** and **Dizzy** at E.O.D. Three leading vote-getters. Also reasons (limited though they are) from yesterday, which **Texcat** ’s scummitude doesn’t really change. I will also **vote Darth Sensitive** who voted for Dizzy and Pizza day one and has been, as I said, “playing clean”. Texcat agreeing with me on this vote only gives me a little pause. ---
