**Vote LH75** Rereading everything and while I have no particular reason to think you are a Villain, I have reasons to think the other candidates are Town. Your defense of me was appreciated but it was strange that this is the only comment of substance I can find that you made. I’m sorry, I hope if you get exiled you will continue to play with us. DemonTree’s response to Thing.Fish also seemed Townie to me, and I don’t want Prof P to be exiled, I feel strongly that this is his town game. This is where I’m leaving my vote tonight, may not make it back before end of day, but I will try to check in if I can. ---

**vote Mahaloth** Because he gives the most scummy vibes. If a feeling is not a sufficient explanation, so be it. And he still has not reacted to my answer in post ~80. I will probably not be able to come back before 15:00 or 16:00 Berlin time, so that stands. ---

For the benefit of other newbies - assuming there are probably 3-4 Villains, we have about a 25% chance of banishing a Villain just by chance tonight! (Also we should get some Shakespearian prose from Chronos with the night’s announcment, which may help…) ---

Since these seem to be the consensus and I don’t have any other ideas: **Vote Mahaloth** **Vote LH75** ---

Because I thought he would handle it well, and it might stir up a more active flurry of votes. I have a Town lean on him, actually. ---

I know Angel has a vote on LH75. That puts him at 4 votes too. ---

Oh, great, heading towards death on Day 1 while playing as Town. This is so familiar and I was really hoping it wouldn’t happen in this new game. 🤷 Wrong, folks, just wrong. ---

**vote LH75** Because i think he is more likely Scum than Mahaloth. ---

IIRC, Mahaloth has a playstyle that gets him voted off early most games, and that doesn’t matter if he’s Town or Scum. ---

> [@DemonTree](#): > > I just had another look at his posts. He’s cryptic, not to say strange, but maybe that’s normal for him. Why are people suspicious of him, exactly? Come on Mahaloth. You know just as well as I do that policy votes for this kind of stuff stink also… I when is it not okay to push someone a little to talk, whether it’s the group as a whole or one person. D1 sucks royal donkey balls. All of our votes suck right now including mine, because we have almost nothing to go by. I’m not feeling the run on LH either. Blah, what to do… ---
