[QUOTE=Hawkeyeop] That’s nice, but the deadline for voting is today. [/QUOTE] Damn. You’re right, ofcourse. I thought we had until Sunday, for whatever reason. Looks like it’s a footrace between Hazel and I, at this point, anyways. I’ll let that be my vote rationale, if nothing else is. ---

Arright…of our main contenders, **Diomedes** tops my suspicion list. So, lets… unvote **Hawkeyeop** vote **Diomedes** ---

Okay … it seems we are going to end with a stalemate unless someone changes their mind. I’m all for a lynch, but not _my_ lynch. Sorry about the snippiness of my last post. I get way too involved in these games. ---

Crap. I spent most of my game time debating between **faithfool** and **brewha** yesterday, I’d shift to brewha, but that doesn’t seem like a useful move. Now the town has shifted to a **HazelNutCoffee** vs. **Diomedes** face-off. I had a bit of suspicion of **Diomedes** early in the game (minor stuff). I didn’t pursue it further at the time since the whole **brewha** thing kind of took my focus. **HazelNutCoffee** isn’t on my radar, which in and of itself is not a good thing. But if I were to vote for someone for under-the-radar reasons, it would be for **Rysto**. Also, I don’t think the dossier item is a good reason for voting for **HazelNutCoffee** (as I’ve stated before for **myself** and for **Hockey Monkey** , and I’ll include **zuma** and **HNC** on that list now too). I’ll try and re-read Diomedes and HazelNutCoffee to make a better informed decision, but for now: **vote Diomedes** ---

One more vote to get Dio the majority. Where is Faithfool when you need her? ---

**sach** , you forgot to unvote. I’d hate for us to miss a lynch on a technicality. ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] The only evidence I have to that end would be the line in my role PM which read “(psst, you are the secret role)”. From that, I assumed I was the 7% – if someone else has something to share, speak up and I’ll be happy to find that I’m the 3.5%. (Actually, if someone else _does_ have something comparable, you’d probably best keep hush for now. Secret roles aren’t looked at favorably 'round these parts…) [/QUOTE] This quote is from Day One, and is totally irrelevant to the Diomedes v. HazelNutCoffee discussion. But I read it and it made me mildly suspicious of Hal Briston, so I figured I’d post it now for revisit Tomorrow (by me or by surviving town). I’m of the opinion that there is exactly one secret pro-town role. If someone is holding a secret role, you need to speak up and refute Hal Briston. Furthermore, I find Hal Briston’s statement encouraging any other secret role to keep quiet suspicious. on preview: unvote faithfool vote Diomedes ---

To clear things up for you, **sach** – the point of what I said was that as far as I’m aware, my role was the entire 7% secret. I’ll be very surprised if someone else comes along with a claim of having a secret role as well. ---

We got a half hour. Can someone else throw their vote over to Dio to ensure a lynch? ---

I don’t find Dio particularly scummy, but I do think that Hockey Monkey and Pleonast are. I am voting purely based on my assumption that the person they are voting for is not scum. Unvote Hockey Monkey Vote Diomedes I don’t like this vote and I know that if Dio comes up town I will be labeled the scum ‘hammer’. But, at least a lynch will tell us why Dio has voted the way he has - that info is better the the nothing we would gain from a no lynch. ---

Sorry I’m late. I’ve been up all night and I’m terribly groggy. Have I missed the deadline? I thought I’d already voted. I really, really apologize. I’m trying to catch up now. ---

Managment would like to apologize for managments lack of appropriate color over the last several color posting cycles. Management regrets to say that it is still burried at work but will write up the Dawn post over the weekend so as to make up for the lack of said color in the past. Managment would also like to inform you (regretfully) of the passing of a beloved associate who was not now nor had he ever been Disgruntled. Please, a moment of silence for the passing of Diomedes * * * * * * Back to work. Diomedes - Associate is dead. Dio, you have until the start of the next Day to speak your final peace. If you don’t wanna talk to these guys anymore, I understand. PM me or MtgMan and we will let ya into the forbidden thread. 48 hours from this post is the length of the Night. See most of you in the morning. ---
