Let’s see if I can find it… or maybe someone has a post number I can use. 1. When I can, I’ll do my best to go over your case on Brewha. 2. I have post numbers in my notes.

But I don’t think you would have posted this when you were leading the lynch if she was. No, I did not get a role for her. And on Friday I was planning to share my info to save her if needed. today, I’m sharing it to corroborate Idle’s claim of receiving a message about someone’s alignment. > [@peekercpa](#): > > perhaps if you are town you might want to lay down a case on scum. not just to save your ear. i think that makes more points. You’re right, I should. I’m torn between a defensive vote on Giraffe (and re-reading the posts where others make cases against him) and an offensive vote on Weedy for em simply joining a bandwagon on me. Doing real work now. Still have to read 1501 and on. ---

I’m not convinced on anyone else presently. I’m less convinced on Giraffe but as I said the case isn’t nothing, it’s just not my favorite. ---

Okay. Just to get on the record, as well as “vote early and often”, I’ll **vote Weedy** for explicitly jumping on a bandwagon. Also, I had at one point thought we might have vote-affecting power roles. So I think it would help if everybody had a vote down, just to see if there are any vote blockers/doublers/movers. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] A bit later Krayz and TexCat get some votes in short order and he swaps his vote to Krayz quickly as well. The peeker wagon starts to slow a bit and he jumps off of Krayz probably hoping not to be on a townie lynch. Later, votes start popping up quickly on TexCat and Silver Jan and he swaps back to Krayz. I strongly suspect that one or both of those two is scum and he forgot that he’d cleared Krayz and peeker and jumped back on the wagon to save them. There simply isn’t a townie reason I can think over for that behavior, but there’s a pretty clear cut scummy reason for it. [/QUOTE] Scuba\_ben, if you get a chance, I’d like a little more explanation on your second Krayz vote. ---

I welcome suggestions for a different color to use here.) Purple seems fine to me. And, as I find Weedy a bit more scummy than Giraffe, I’ll give the vote on Weedy a bit more teeth. Guess we’ll save Brewha for tomorrow. **unvote: Giraffe Vote: Weedy** Just a note, this vote switch doesn’t really do you any favors, Scuba\_Ben, but I’m more interested in pressuring the best candidates than doing anything else with my vote. ---

I’ve read about 90% of the thread. Not too shabby. I take it that somewhere in that last 10%, a 2p2er has pitched our wagon resolution methods to these fine people and that it went over like a fart in church, amirite? ---
