Oh, and one more thing: Inner Stickler had [activity on the Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11440759&postcount=222) as of just before midnight of the 13th, eastern time. So his internet was working then, and he had a chance to report his engineering results, but did not. That should look extremely suspicious. ---

Good point! \*\*Unvote Scuba \*\* **Vote Inner** I don’t believe I can rescind your arrest warrant **Chronos**. I can release people from the brig or order arrests, but once the arrest is issued it can’t be rescinded. ---

Even More Suspicious ™: **Inner Stickler’s** last four posts as of now were: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=4540149](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=4540149) - 8/17 8:34 AM EDT, this thread - 8/16, 12:34 AM, [Why the hate for the DMV?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=528279) - 8/16, 12:08 AM, same thread. - 8/11 8:15 AM, this thread Therefore, Inner Stickler had Internet access as of midnight (Eastern time) Sunday morning. The excuse about how his Internet connection was down, reported more than 24 hours after his previous post on the SDMB, is a major contradiction. **Inner Stickler** , care to rebut? ---

ABWOP: Inner Stickler needs one more vote to meet the lynch threshold. I would like to hear from the three people who haven’t voted for him why they are not voting for him, or why they change their minds and vote for him. ---

> [@](#): > > I don’t believe I can rescind your arrest warrant Chronos. I can release people from the brig or order arrests, but once the arrest is issued it can’t be rescinded. From the first post: > [@](#): > > 1. Captain > Each Day you may issue the order to arrest any one crew-member. Also, each Day you may cancel any one arrest order. It is up to the Chief of Security to actually detain the crew-member. These actions are public. Place your orders in bold green in the game thread like this, > arrest/release Pleonast > Once issued, these orders may not be rescinded. They take effect immediately. So you can’t rescind the order (that is, say you changed you mind and take it back to warrant someone else instead), but you can issue a separate order to cancel it. At least, that’s the way I’m reading it. ---

Oh, one more thing: **Unvote Darth Sensitive Unvote Hal Briston** I’m still suspicious of both of them, and will likely re-vote both of them toMorrow if I’m still alive, but right this moment, it doesn’t make sense to lynch anyone but **Stickler** , since I’m certain about him, but not certain about the other two. ---

**Ichini** is online right now. _Pours sake and attempts to summon player_ **Darth Sensitive** was last active 11:04 EDT this morning. ---

Honestly, I’m torn between **Darth Sensitive** (for reasons given before), and **Inner Stickler**. Not that it would make much of a difference, but I’d still like to wait to hear from **Inner Stickler**. I know his lack of activity is suspicious, but I kinda have a bad feeling about this. I mean, I been on the board, lurking here and there in the BBQ Pit, for example, but without checking the game thread because I knew reading and posting here would take much more time that I could spare at the moment. I’m giving him 40 more minutes, and then I’ll cast a vote one way or the other. ---

Am on iPod. **vote inner stickler** The story isn’t adding up well for him. Can’t type much, but this doesn’t invalidate idea of chronos being killer. Lynch should confirm 3x people either way unless we have screwy masons.
