OK, I know I said I was going to wait until I had time for some more analysis, but **Spurious** , that’s really scummy. First, voting for someone just because someone else had voted for them, then, choosing Execution rather than Ostracization for no stated reason, and then, getting upset that someone’s expressed suspicion of you for perfectly reasonable reasons? I just can’t let that pass unnoticed. **Ostracize Spurious George** ---

Sorry I’ve been a bit out of it. I’ve been so sick/exhausted past two days, reading has taken a lot of effort, but I’m here now. I’m not sure whom to vote for first, but I think ostracizing is the way to go, because someone gets the seed of sin no matter what if we execute, and that’s bad for all of us in the long run. ---

I was actually just listing anyone who had 2 posts or less, though. I hope you see it wasn’t me that put you on that list, but yourself. Was I wrong? ---

I have to agree with **Chronos** on that one. The first vote is a wild guess. So why execute? **Vote Ostracize Spurious George** ---

Man, Spurious George really was off in his thread. He says, “I’ll remember that you put me on that list , Mahaloth!” when clearly I only listed those who had low post counts(2 and under) by the listing on the front page at the time(I clicked the post count to get the individualized total). Then, he executes someone? For no reason? I’m willing to change my mind if a scum slips or something else emerges as a better method for choosing, but I have to agree with Chronos. **Vote Ostracize Spurious George** ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > On the other hand, if someone is clearly going to be Executed anyway and someone comes in to vote for him with two minutes left in the Day, that will look fishy as hell; but my intention is to assume that any vote which could plausibly be motivated by standard Mafia play most likely is so motivated. I agree that that would be suspicious behaviour, but what is the Scum motivation for this? It is not in the interests of Sinners to vote for the big E\* last, and we don’t know the effects of Blackhearts becoming sin-infected. Nevermind, on thinking it over, it would be a Townie switching sides. \*If I call execution the big E, is ostracizing the big O? 🙂 ---

Of course that should be “so I’m voting for you” not “some voting for you” :smack: ---

> [@Justin\_Credible](#): > > Yeah, sorry about that. SDMB was blocked at work this week, and I’ve been trying to catch up to the thread this evening. It’ll probably be tomorrow evening before I actually post anything of substance. Very cool, Justin. I was a bit surprised to see your posts on the low end. It should be fun to be in the game together again. 🙂 ---
