He…uh…tried to split his vote in four (something he could have done with Borda!), which is not allowed. But he unvoted before that, so I counted the unvote.

Anyway:

As the discussion came to a close, the sun shuddered and jerked, and stood in the sky! The townspeople rejoiced, as this was clearly a blessing from God! Everyone knew demons’ powers grew in the night, so perhaps it would remain perpetual day, and the evil ones would be powerless. But it was not to be. The sun stood poised on the horizon for but an hour, after which it dropped into a sunset. The town forced AngelpaulwhowasfromaNorthernGhost, still loudly protesting in broken English, out of the town. The fence glowed. This man was pure of heart.

Angelpaul, an Ordinary Puritan, is dead.

It is night. Day will start at 1:00 PM EST on Tuesday.

I see I missed the end of the Day.

I had started my analysis at 8AM, but real life interfered and I’ve been running children around since then.

I’ll leave time for comments about my analysis of Allwalker before I comment myself.

And, I suppose, I’ll start looking at someone else. It’s tedious, but hopefully it will be fruitful at some point.

Well, it only works on people who know what they are doing, and beyond that, are hiding what it is they are doing.

Once you find that person, you need to find where they not as well hidden as in other posts.

That being said, Don’t look at me.

1. I have no clue what it is I am doing.
2. I have already claimed
3. You, above all other people would know that.

Now, watch everyone else start looking at me here, simply because I say don’t look at me.

But then again, these kinda statements make my previous rants seem to disappear.  
I’m going to stop now, while I still can, on my own terms.

**Joey** had said that he was planning on doing a Wall of Words on someone, but then decided that it would be impossible to do one on **Meeko** , and therefore decided not to do a WoW on anyone at all. **AllWalker** was criticizing **Joey** for this decision, as he could have done a WoW on some other, easier poster, instead of just throwing his hands up. It’s a reason, at least, though I don’t know if it’s a very good one, considering that almost nobody else has done a WoW on anyone, either, including **AllWalker**.

Then again, I guess that Ed, being the mason that he is, heh heh, is doing a wall on Mahaloth, right?

Oh My God U Suck

Basically, an OMGUS vote is a vote in retaliation for a vote. We call it an OMGUS vote because the only reasoning behind it is “Oh My God You Suck”.
