\ That’s just… bizarre. I have said that I would not allow a tie. Why would you abandon your vote like that? ---

It would appear that **Zsofia** has neatly and cleanly sealed the deal, preserving herself and Pollux. Absent some other vote change, my vote and mhaye’s can do nothing other than force a tie. ---

[QUOTE=Zsofia] I still think you’re scum, but I can’t be sure that anybody else will have time to get a vote in in the next eight minutes. It looks like **storyteller** , at least, is watching, but let’s not no lynch by accident. [/QUOTE] Fair enough. I’ll target you toNight then. ---

Zsofia’s behavior is enough for me to switch to her, if necessary. ---

[QUOTE=storyteller0910] \ That’s just… bizarre. I have said that I would not allow a tie. Why would you abandon your vote like that? [/QUOTE] To make sure she couldn’t get lynched if you and mhaye both voted for her, duh! It’s fairly obvious who all the scum are now. Took me dying to really bring it out though. ☹ ---

With four minutes left, the danger of scum manipulation if we start flinging votes around willy-nilly is considerable. ---

On the other hand, that move by **Zsofia** stinks like yucky fish. **mnhaye** , if you are here, and will place your vote on **Zsofia,** I will do the same. Cookies can then switch as she promises, or not, telling us something either way. ---

That caught me by surprise too. To be honest, I thought that both **NAF** and **Pollux Oil** were wither Townsmen or non-Werewolf scum and could happily have voted for either. ---

Fucking _sucks_. **Zsofia** , check out the Dusk. Pretty, isn’t it? All orange and red and all? Might want to memorize it, because I don’t think you’ll be seeing another. ---

A contentious Day has finally ended. The unforeseeable outcome: **Pollux Oil** has been hanged. Furry evidence is found: **Hal Briston** was a Wolf, and **DiggitCamara** was a Werewolf. It is now Night Six. ---

This board has flood control. Did you know this board has flood control? I found out the hard way; I wasn’t able to put in a vote for **Zsofia** on time because of the 60 second flood control. Sorry folks. ---

Yeah I’ve run into that a few times. I believe it is one of those efforts to mitigate outages after one of the last outages.
