I see **Hawkeye** has put his chip on **sach**. No time to time to discuss, and we need a lynch no matter what.  
**vote sach  
unvote Rysto**

[QUOTE=faithfool]  
I’m going to do that indeed. But I’m not leading the way until I understand why I’m choosing who I do. You all have gotten to be here, I haven’t.  
[/QUOTE]

I understand, but we are a bit short on time. You wouldn’t be leading the way. Rysto and I are already there, you just need to follow.

And apparantly Pleo did to on preview, Okay then, now it would be nice if you added your vote to avoid a last minute scum jump off.

Question then… what happens if there is a stalemate? And please don’t anyone scream at me. I want to be able to do this as right I can, if everything ends up riding on me, and I’d like to know the possible outcome if that happens. Thank you.

This game can’t have a stalemate. If we fail to lynch a scum, the game is over with them winning.

This will definitely be my only game of Mafia. Again, I apologize to everyone profusely for my lack being able to attend and congratulate everyone else on their ability to play it much better than I could even imagine myself possibly ever doing. ☹☹

No screaming. It was an insane ammount of pressure to be put on your shoulders.

But the Day is over. Nothing to be done now.

Thank you for that. I just now realized that I should’ve put my only quasi-vote I threw out in color, so I’m not even sure it counted…

Og I suck. I appreciate you reminding of that **Hawk**. I don’t know how I missed it before.

Sorry, not AWOL. I just had an emergency at work I had to deal with, and I need to figure something out with MTGman.

I don’t want to post the proper end of Day until I speak with him.

Sach is dead.

Sach was scum.

It might not make a difference. I am figuring some things out.

But let’s give the final scum the 48 hour clock starting now. And the game may end in the middle of the night.

Sorry to end the Day on such an off note, but I need to do some figuring to try and keep things sort of fair for everyone.

Faith, or anyone watching on faith’s behalf. Watch this space. I will have a final decision as soon as I possibly can.

Please don’t start the next Day early – I’m gone until Saturday Night. If the Day does start early, don’t lynch me before then, fellow Townie.

Okay **NAF**. I’ll make sure this time that my friend knows specifically what the hell he’s talking about. Also, I’ve got the print outs of the posts I’ve mentioned, so I’ll be going over those too until I’m able to get back online. Signing off for now.

Well, I’m guessing you are thinking of mod killing Faith, because technically she didn’t vote. I’m obviously not impartial, but I say let it be decided on the field. Maybe her vote for Pleo will appear in blue if you squint really hard..

And yay for Sach. The person I was sure is scum, was for once, actually scum!!!

Enjoy your trip Rysto

Thank the CEO you were right, **Hawkeye**. At least it isn’t game over due to mislynch or no lynch.

And now we can only hope it doesn’t end by mod-kill, either.
