I was hoping to have a chance to catch up before voting on Sunday, but life interfered, and I at least wanted to have a vote down. I came back to the game with 10 minutes to go, scanned and saw that **ToeJam** was a viable candidate, and thought he was the best option that had any chance of being lynched. At the time of my vote, though, I wasn’t even sure what the vote count was so didn’t know if it really mattered. I stated in [D2.473](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19934443&postcount=473) that I thought **brewha** was probably town, and despite the lie I still thought so. His switch claim was unforced, and I could read his fishing for advice on how to use the switch as townie. I found **Crys75’s** third party claim, also unforced, believable. It is something that needs to be examined, but due to the win conditions of third parties counting against scum, I thought her lynch was shortsighted. Lynching her was an easy, lazy lynch, and I thought it needed another Day at least to think through the logic of it. That left **ToeJam** , who I found scummy D1 but didn’t vote for him (I wish I would have) because he wasn’t around to defend himself. I felt he was the best choice of the three leaders. If I had felt like making a one-off vote it would have been **Pleonast** or **Chronos** (oops), but at the late hour those seemed like useless votes. I was wrong about **Chronos** , but **Pleo** needs a good looking at. I’m tempted to vote **ToeJam** , but he asked for justification, and I’d like to review and give it to him before an official vote. Also, even though I think he’s scum, there are 13 others out there, so I’m trying not to focus on just him. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068)._
