He’s been the consistent lynch leader all Day for a potential slip, which is probably more than most early Day One votes have to go on (I’m already on record as disagreeing about the nature of most of these types of “slips”, but I can see the other side of that argument and don’t have a problem with it). The unvote was for weaker reasons than the vote, for sure, but I don’t necessarily think that the vote itself was weak.

I did see the soft claim before voting, but are you saying that a soft claim is enough to unvote (or not vote)? A soft claim can’t be tested or countered. If all scum have to do to escape the noose is suggest that they are a town power, then we are not going to get very far.
