On thinking about this some more, the XO won’t have any power toMorrow, since toMorrow will be the last Day anything matters. And I trust myself and **Scuba\_Ben** more than **Cookies** , so I’d rather have one of us in the Security seat, since it’s conceivable that Security might still be able to do something. Therefore,

**Promote Cookies**

Now, then. What I’m thinking is that toMorrow, if **Hal** is innocent and there’s still a Night-kill, I’ll ask **ColdPhoenix** to put out a warrant on himself, and **Cookies** to vote for herself. If either doesn’t cooperate, I’ll vote for that person. Then, at the last minute, if everyone’s still in compliance, I’ll make a post executing the arrest order and voting for **Cookies**. That will leave me, a confirmed Town, as the sole remaining player outside the Brig, which is effectively a Town win condition. Of course, if **Scuba** is alive instead of me, he could do the same thing.

This is vulnerable to **Cookies** , if she’s Scum, unvoting herself at the last minute, but I think I have better odds of beating that than I do of picking between the two of them.

Man, I hope **Hal** is Scum.
