The game is daunting, and i also think it has lost a bit of the shine due to Malware redirects. ---

If he (and I’m going to use the pronoun “he” for everyone for whom I know not the gender - don’t read anything into it) decides to target someone else, he’ll at least know if my switch shut off his power. > > We won’t know if if the other switch holder flipped theirs or whether or not both switches were needed to shut it off. > > And, the town isn’t going to know for sure what happened if I survive the night. Did Batman fail to kill me? Did he target someone else and failed? Did his kill go through the the mafia kill(s) were somehow thwarted? > > I guess all we really know is that some stuff is going to go down tonight and we’ll have to sort it out when the dust clears. I think assuming they are in series is the wisest plan, since that’s how they were in last game that featured them. As for the whole batman plan, I find it overly complex and give it 0% chance of working out the way you want it to. Like if you get killed, how will we know that the factional kill didn’t get you vs. batman? Anyway, regardless of what happens, I do think we will get at least _some_ information out of it. So if you wanna do try it, I’m not going to talk you out of it. I agree with Biotop in that the very fact you came forward with the switch claim is probably a good indicator that you are town. ---

\*\*Sunny, \*\* I assume you are voting for **Plumpudding** based on some reasoning you have previously outlined; could you recap or link to your reasoning? Offhand the only thing I remember him getting flak for was having a bad fluff/content ratio, which certainly is true. Is there more? ---

Failing that, to breadcrumb to them that you are the “missing” member of their team. I said that I couldn’t think of any reason for you to make that post if you were Town. > > Then, you voted for me. I initially thought that you thought I had PIS because I assumed that _once the scum went on the scum board, they would find out who each other were._ I thought this was about the lamest case imaginable, but the more you try to explain it, the more confusing it gets. > > Here’s your most recent attempt (snipped from omnibus post).

I don’t want to be one of those two guys with one-off votes on each other, but I will make this last attempt to get his wagon rolling before I move on. Thing Fish, I think I’m in agreement with you on your case against Pleo. I’d join your vote except for… > [@DiggitCamara](#): > > Counter: this is very weak analysis, actually. The fact that scum doesn’t have perfect information doesn’t preclude a weak defense of everyone who ISN’T on their team. It would be interesting if, while doing so, they would by chance vote for someone on the opposing team. > > But still, this defense pings me. Not enough to change my > > **vote for snfaulkner[COLOR]** D1, 5 total posts. Parks a vote on me at post 264 because I mentioned that The Colby Slip didn’t convince me to vote for him, which apparently means I was defending him and have PIS. Lame. Nothing N1 Comes back in D2 with the above, doubling down with his lame reasoning from D1. And doesn’t even mention any of the other issues at hand. This, my friends, is our lurking scum. And so, with that (and a flaming dumpster full of OMGUS, I admit), **[COLOR=“Blue”] Vote DiggitCamara** ---
