I’m still out of town, so this is a very quick post to keep things moving. **Final Vote Count** 5 – **Projammer** (ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies, nesta, Millit the Frail, Rachm Qoch, dnooman) 5 – **dnooman** (Lightnin’, DiggitCamara, Hal Briston, Idle Thoughts, fluiddruid) 2 – **fluiddruid** (SnakesCatLady, Kyrie Eleison) 2 – **No Lynch** (Projammer, CaerieD) 1 – **CaerieD** (Blaster Master) 1 – **SnakesCatLady** (Lemur866) Given the tie vote, I’ve consulted [random.org](http://random.org). The result: **dnooman** , a Citizen, has been lynched. The night begins now. Everyone please submit your night instructions by Monday evening Eastern time at 11:20 pm. Mafia, you may begin to consult amongst yourselves. ---

Well, on the bright side there are plenty of posts to go over knowing that I was town. I hope that the towns analysis of what was said, and what was not said helps secure a town win. Go Town!! ---

Aw, geez. I’d started having my doubts towards the end, but withdrawing my vote didn’t accomplish much, did it? Sorry **dnooman**. ☹ ---

What the hell happened? %^^&^&$%&! Let’s do this right tomorrow…the wedding is over, and I’m coming back to the game with a vengeance. Meanwhile, I guess I’ll have a gin and tonic. Make that two. ---

Sorry, dnooman. Going out on a coin toss is hard. I am getting more and more frustrated with this. Is there any chance of finding real scum in the next day or so? (Rhetorical Question.) ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] Still not buying what **dnooman** is selling. Not a bit of it. If I’m wrong about this, then I’ll be the first one to drink to his memory, but damnit, I’m sticking to my guns on this one. [/QUOTE] I suggest a new town strategy: Ignore any suspicion I might have.

Need to be honest here, I wasn’t going to unvote you either even after your defense post, but I was (and would have continued being) wrong. ☹ I’m sorry, **dnooman** , even though it doesn’t mean much now. And I’m also sorry for spelling your name wrong all that time. :smack: I really thought that was a “orm” all long. My eyes aren’t the best. ---

Also, everyone, I’m back now. I was away since Wednesday and having very limited internet access. I was able to get on once (on Thursday, in which I voted) and again on Friday but the SDMB happened to be down then to fix the blank posts. However from here on (if I survive the night), I’ll be on as much as I was when the game started, and probably as many posts too. ---

Well, that that then. So, now we wait. I’m gonna do some combing over the earlier controversies, hopefully to post something useful after the night turn. Well, assuming I survive, that is. ---

Well, crap. I go away for the weekend, and you guys lynch an innocent man. I can’t leave this place for a _second_, can I? Oh, wait. I voted for him as well, didn’t I? Double crap. ---
