Checking in- I’m not at home/at my usual desk, so I don’t have my game notes with me and I won’t until the afternoon. The game is not on hold, moderator just has to go out of town occasionally. As for the vote: The round is over, vote is as stands except for my own, which I have to check my inbox to see where it stands. As for day actions: I’m being generous and allowing additional day actions until I get back. Just in case you all missed the deadline as I did. I’ll post when no more will be accepted. ---

Most class switches take only a phase to complete and will get a new PM at the end of that phase. ---

And I’m sorry, Pizza, but two full real-life days between the end of a Day and the REVEAL for that Day is really, really frustrating. ---

We had horrific storms yesterday near Kansas City. Tornado sirens going off, wind, rain, hail, and a descending twister that was located less than a mile from our house. It didn’t touch down, though, thank goodness. I had to ride my bike to work in the rain today. I started out from home it was dry, but about 4 miles from the house, and right before I got on the freeway, it started coming down. I pulled over and pulled on my rain suit, and only went about 5 miles down the road before the rain stopped. That’s pretty much it from me. You? ---

You and I live fairly near each other, Bob. I’m in Saint Louis. The storm had totally petered out by the time it hit us. I’m glad the tornado left you unscathed! ---

Gadarene asked for a vote count (pre-Phere). Here’s mine. Five votes.[ul][li]MHaye : Normal Phase (2,494)[sup]2[/sup], Astral Rejection (2,508), Silver Jan (2,531), Gadarene (2,534)[/ul][/li] Three votes.[ul][li]Silver Jan : Suburban Plankton (2,482), GnarlyCharlie (2,516), Mhaye (2,536)[/ul][/li] Two votes.[ul][li]realitytrip : Visorslash (2,409)[sup]2[/sup][/li][li]Scathach : Guiri (2,488), Septimus (2,513)[/ul][/li] One vote.[ul][li]Tanaer : BobArrgh (2,398)[/li][li]Gnarlycharlie : LightFoot (2,474)[/li][li]Visorslash : Mosier (2,509)[/li][li]Suburban Plankton : Tanaer (2,510)[/li][li]Normal Phase : Choie (2,519)[/ul][/li] Did Not Vote Believerer, Lilflower, Mahaloth, NAF1138, PetW, Red Skeezix, Scathach, Storyteller0910. Item voting. Blue ring. Guiri 3 (Guiri, Septimus, Tanaer), Visorslash 2 (Visorslash[sup]2[/sup]), Choie 1 (Septimus), Suburban Plankton 1 (Suburban Plankton). Diamond ring Guiri 3 (Tanaer, Choie, BobArrgh), Visorslash 2 (Visorslash[sup]2[/sup]), LightFoot 1 (LightFoot), Septimus 1 (Septimus), Suburban Plankton 1 (Suburban Plankton). Tha leaves me in limbo, as I’m lynch leader but the secret votes may result in Silver Jan or, depending on timing, either realitytrip or Scathach, being lynched instead. ---

Very, very much appreciated, MHaye. Interesting about people voting items to Guiri. It’s amazing that we still have so many people (Mahaloth, lilflower, NAF, Red Skeezix, etc.) who’ve barely participated at ALL. ---

Thanks for the count, **MHaye**. Doesn’t seem fair for a guy standing on the scaffold to have to count the votes that could lead to his own lynching, but it’s much appreciated! > [@Gadarene](#): > > It’s amazing that we still have so many people (Mahaloth, lilflower, NAF, Red Skeezix, etc.) who’ve barely participated at ALL. I agree. Geeze, I totally forgot about **NAF** altogether! Though I wouldn’t necessarily include **Mahaloth** in that group, since IIRC he asked to be subbed out fairly early on, didn’t he? **pizzaguy** refused (I think) but it’s not **Mahaloth** ’s fault since he admitted he really was too busy to play. (Maybe the early name for this game gave us bad luck.) ---

I’m a little unhappy that the 3-voter could theoretically lynch one of four people. What’s frustrating to me is that in all likelihood the MIA non-players are town. Scum have had a disproportionate amount of control over the lynch from Day 1. I still want those guys dead, though. It’s anti-game, and the specter of their continued survival is anti-game. ---

Nothing to be done about it. Except tell MHaye how scummy he is again, I suppose. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-the-realm-of-phere/617480.md?page=130) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-the-realm-of-phere/617480.md?page=132)
