Shame I have the better goal difference!
With less than two hours left, I don’t want to leave my vote on a one-off when there’s a close race like this. On the one hand, I don’t really see the case against Freudian, which looks to me like it mostly consists of “she voted and unvoted”. What is it about her votes that makes them look any more opportunistic than any other votes?
On the other hand, I do see a case against Wanderers. First, if nothing else, there’s the reason I voted for him yesterDay, jumping on the spelling mistake. Second, his speculation on the Scum’s motives was at best not useful to Town. Third, as the one who started the ball rolling on the whole misspelling thing in the first place, I would have expected him to remember that there were exactly two misspellings.
Unvote GuiriEnEspaña
Vote One and Only Wanderers
It’s not the best case in the world, and I would have preferred a lynch of Guiri or Tom Scud, but it doesn’t look like either of those is going to happen toDay.
Incidentally, does it strike anyone else that the two people vying for the chopping block are the two people who have claimed vanilla? I’m not sure what (if anything) that means, but it does mean that we won’t have Scum manipulating the vote to try to get a power role rather than a vanilla.
I summarized it a bit in post 800. Others have also added more than voting and unvoting. That post has the relevant quotes from Freudian in it, but here were my ending comments.
I’ve been rereading the Day to get a handle on which of the two lead candidates I feel is more likely to be an Infiltrator. As I start to write this, the vote stands at OAOW 8 to 7 for FS.
The votes against Freudian Slit mostly seem to centre on her poor voting history. She is perceived as jumping from one bandwagon to another. Exceptions to this general tone are Rysto, who voted because FS voted Meeko for a weak reason, OAOW who voted FS to attempt to save his own neck, a reasonable position whatever side you are on (except in circumstances that don’t apply here) and TexCat, who believes FS is more likely to be an Infiltrator than OAOW is.
The votes against OAOW are for more varied reasons. They range from “This is only important now?” to “OAOW is gaming us” by challenging us to vote for him, to “I think OAOW is more likely to be an Infiltrator.”
Noteworthy (to me, anyway) are the different approaches our two candidates have when placing their votes for the other player.
FS placed hers quite early, in post [post=12284650]763[/post]. Her grounds are that the whole misspelling thing feels like smoke and mirrors, and the vote on Jimmy feels like OMGUS. This is actually unlikely in the strict sense because OAOW’s vote came first.
That FS broke the tie in her favour is also a point to note, but not much of one iven that there were just under 46 hours to go, so she couldn’t have hoped to hide it.
OAOW was quite ope about why he’s voting for FS – it’s because he knows his alignment and doesn’t know FS’s. (Of course, if OAOW is an Infiltrator he’s lying, but then you’d expect him to.) This makes sense whatever your alignment, except in a few restricted situations.
FS’s vote feels slightly spuriously justified, while OAOW’s feels straightforward. And in this sort of circumstance I prefer straightforward and open, because a Mafiate tried to sneak a tiebreaking vote like this in in an early game, and I’ve always been on the watch-out for such shenanigans since. It’s just enough to tip the balance of this particular pair of scales in her direction.
Vote Freudian Slit.
Wow. Knife’s edge, again, with only story (and cookies, if she reads reallyreallyfast) uncommitted.
“Infiltrator”? Is this bleed-over from some other game?
Hey Kids -
You know, being dead is not as bad as I thought! I get to float around, eavesdrop on everyone, and laugh at all the silly things you say. Yeah, there is that annoying, irresistible urge to count votes, but I guess that comes from being a politician. Speaking of which, here’s the count at the end of Day Two:
**One And Only Wanderers (8): **Jimmy Chitwood 757, Oredigger77 760, Freudian Slit 763, Mahaloth 815, GuiriEnEspaña 855, Drain Bead 865, Zeriel 874, Chronos 882
**Freudian Slit (8): **Rysto 655, Meeko 666, Tom Scud 783, Red Skeezix 835, special ed 861, OAOW 871, TexCat 880, MHaye 885
**Mahaloth (1): **storyteller0910 833
**Jimmy Chitwood (0): **[del]Oredigger 717 734[/del], [del]One And Only Wanderers 751 871[/del], [del]TexCat 795 880[/del]
Drain Bead (0): [del]Zeriel 715 874[/del]
**GuiriEnEspaña (0): **[del]Chronos 803 882[/del]
TexCat (0): [del]Tom Scud 706 783[/del]
Tom Scud (0): [del]Mahaloth 787 815[/del]
**
Meeko (0):** [del]Freudian Slit 651 763[/del]
One and Only Wanderers (Olympic Gold Medalist) is dead. Welcome to the ranks, big guy, and congrats on adding to your long career of biting it early:
One And Only Wanderers has the distinction of being the first mason claim on the SDMB:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8289344&postcount=477
which I believe was the first and last time One And Only Wanderers escaped the noose.
He was lynched on Day One in Conspiracy:

He was lynched on Day Two in You-Solve-It:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9316419&postcount=730
He lasted a bit longer in SDMB mafia, making it all the way to Day Four! But lynched nonetheless:

He was lynched on Day One in Cecilvania:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9829494&postcount=575
Everyone loves lynching One And Only Wanderers!
Now, I’m not telling you to stop lynching One And Only Wanderers, but seriously, cut the guy some slack. At the very least, mix it up a bit and Nightkill the poor guy.

That “Infiltrator” bit is kinda odd, isn’t it. I’ve never heard that terminology before.
Granted, that makes it marginally less likely to mean anything as a potential slip, given that (as I understand it) this game isn’t supposed to be terribly fancy.
And that happened Day Two. If he hadn’t had been a mason he probably would have been lynched.
No, it’s from Sachertorte in this game.

I started off using “nefarious forces” but “infiltrator” is a lot easier to write coherent English around.
oooh I have history! Go Town!
Damn, I thought we had one.
I’ll take a random drink to help dull the pain.
Wow, that link to the werewolf game is a hoot. Votes flying willy-nilly with no reasons attached to them, people debating whether to lynch a claimed Mason in a game known to have Masons, people attracting suspicion for being the first to vote in a Day… We’ve come a long way.
Wait until you get to Winston’s claim. 
NETA: You forgot “third vote is a scum tell”.
Howdy.
Disclaimers: This makes my 3rd simultaneous game. I have barely been skimming, and I kinda suck at reading stuff that I’m not directly involved in.
I have at least remembered to unsubscribe myself from the forbidden thread.
Hey now, if you guys vote me off the island, I’m not gonna be able to make you any more drinks! Is that what you want?
I had to wiki " Boilermaker " for my comment upthread.
Lunch Box [A Boilermaker Variant], please.
Actually can’t wait to try one of those IRL.
One boilermaker! And yes. It is made from real boilers.
