All I can say is that people do make mistakes and this could be one of mine, but it is nothing personal.

I’m not taking it personally, I’m just shocked (and moderately pissed) that after six Days, this game is coming down to “woowoo.”

And I wonder why I bothered wasting four hours of my Day earlier in the week to have a game come down to “woowoo.”

So, now that that’s over, if both of you, Red and mahaloth are Scum, you can say so..At least that way we’ll all know.

And I can hang my head in shame again at being unable to convince anyone

And what’s crazy is that if we’d nabbed **Mahaloth** , I probably would have ended up voting for **Red** Tomorrow.

Doesn’t mean we lose unless Red and Mahaloth are both Scum.

Then you should be pissed too, unless you’re Scum.

no, I can’t be pissed at Cookies. She put the effort in. Sometimes you’re just wrong.

And, like I said, this isn’t over if there’s only 1 Scum left.

I guess I’m not seeing it that way, based on the fact that she used “woowoo,” “far fetched,” and “crazy” in her vote post for me. That doesn’t seem like work, you know? That seems like flipping a freakin’ coin, maybe worse, since just a page ago she was thinking I looked clean.

Someone once mentioned a game where **Cookies** was playing 3-handed at endgame, and she was the deciding vote. She went through and looked at each player, assuming they were Town, and seeing which one made sense. Town won. Now, I know **Cookies** was a sub in this game, and it kinda sucks to go back over stuff you weren’t initially there for, but I guaran-damn-tee you that if you go through the game looking at it like that, there’s at least one person here who comes out smelling a lot worse than I do.

I don’t mind losing. I do mind losing like this.

I’m actually kinda hoping for no one to be pissed. I subbed in for love of the game, and not the selfish kind of love just to be in a game.

Well, Drain, that was a very different situation, and I explained why it just didn’t work this time around. Throw a Zeriel and an Mhaye into that 3-handed game and it probably wouldn’t have worked then either.

Well, we’re past 2:00, so nothing that happens matters.

If we have two Scum left and one of them is reading this, go ahead and post, because you’ve won.

Also, **Cookies** , if you’d seen my post about unvoting **Tom** before his flameout at a point where your unvote would have made a difference, would it have caused you to rethink your vote for me?
