[QUOTE=tirial] P1656 Diggit First: which Diggit- tirial-Idle exchange? and second: somehow I don’t think I would ever vote to lynch the doctor if the doctor roleclaimed, strangely… Please explain why scum would push that hard to get me lynched if I roleclaimed, if I were recruited? (snip) [/QUOTE] As to the exchange, true enough: it wasn’t directly an exchange between us three. It was one between me and Idle Thoughts earlier on that day and [the one between you and Idle Thoughts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8580651&postcount=1564) later on. Still, what I meant to convey was that we three had discussed the point on the earlier day. Why would scum push that hard to get you lynched if you roleclaimed? The same reason they would push hard to say that **SnakesCatLady** was their main suspect. _Reverse. Psychology._ And it works! It really works! ---

Damn…as I typed my long summation post, people go and make last minute changes. Ah well…the rest winds up being the same – looks like scum will be lynched…fingers crossed. And if this is my last post, don’t buy the “scum voting for scum” post that **Rachm** just pulled. ---

[QUOTE=tirial] Good grief Diggit we can actually agree on something - even if it is only the vote count. [/QUOTE] 🆒 ---

\*The town is still shaken by the bizarre deaths of **zuma** and **Idle Thoughts** earlier that morning, and the cloistered atmosphere has become increasingly oppressive. As the overcast day approaches night, the townspeople’s debates over who to lynch take on an air of decided desperation. Accusations of duplicity abound. Finally, the sun hangs low upon the horizon, and the town makes its choice. **Rachm Qoch** , a member of the Mafia, is dead.\* The next day will dawn at 5:25 p.m. my time on Tuesday; please have your night instructions submitted before then. ---
