We have 25 minutes to resolve the Turn. I’m going to take Hockey Monkey off the table. **unvote Hockey Monkey** ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > How is my statement opportunistic? You had nothing on you when I spoke up. Well, I’d been gone essentially all Day, and the Town just lynched not one but two lurkers. You lead off your attack on me by mentioning my absence. I will concede, however, that the more opportunistic vote of the day was Hawk’s. Of course, he has since withdrawn his vote. And frankly, I’m pretty sure that either you or Hawk is Scum, but I’m not sure that it’s both. We’ll see. I hope I’m not coming across as a jerk, because it’s not my intent. But there’s something freeing about simply speaking your mind and not worrying about self-defense; it makes it easier, and more fun, to play. ---

Anyone else still around here? I can take Story out with, but that is less than ideal. Lynching on three votes is bad. ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > Do you deny, that the last time you were scum in my presence, YOU DISAPPEARED? You totally need a big orchestral sting accompanying that last part. No, I don’t deny it. I also don’t deny that in the ongoing off-board game, I DISAPPEARED for the same length of time, and for the same reason. I also do not deny that I have DISAPPEARED for periods of a few days for various reasons as every possible alignment in many, many games. (And by disappeared, I mean got sick, lost Internet access, had rehearsals or tech week, and so on). ---

OK, **Hawk** , so here’s the thing. Some of your responses have shaken my comfort level with my vote for you. However, if I unvote you, it’s just going to put us in a place where we both die. That is definitely suboptimal. ---

Blurgh. I’m sorry for my part in this day not being very discussionful. **Story** is asking for the lynch, I don’t think that **hawkeye** ’s mistake was huge, I’d assume he was looking to see if I was filching. In the interest of avoiding ties, I will go with **vote story** ---
