    Well, Tinc's posting activity level, as well as the last post preceding this one, seem smooth and in character. The one that Andres twigged on, and which you now use as evidence, does seem a bit "off."

    Kukri's style is totally normal, but his activity level is hugely up.

    FH is posting with a frequency that says "townie" for him, but with a flippancy that does not.

    'Kev seems helpful and pointed, but is risking de-oxygenating the discussion. As you know, Sasaki, scads of posts can be used as an intimidation tool to minimized effective interaction just as readily as to promote it.

    I'm curious what people find strange about that post I made. Was it the first part where I was simply applying my usual occam's razor formula to a WIFOM situation, or is it the second part where I was making a joke?

    I thought you were serious with the second part. Humor does not come across well over the medium of text. Therefore, I thought you were really suggesting we vote for a meatballer when we seem to have better suspects at the moment. To me, Ichigo is one of those people we lynch later if we can't find someone else better to lynch.

    If I was really suggesting that we vote for him, I would have changed my vote.

    I admit I am not keeping track of the tallies. It's one of the perks of being dead.

    Anyone remember what time I said I would close voting? I know the round was extended, but can't remember for how long.

    Apologies, I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep at the moment. Schedule is a lot less busy now however.

    So you think that I'm not only a mafioso, but that I actively tried to divert votes towards Ichigo, rather than FH, at a point when it was becoming obvious that either FH or I was going to be lynched? I'm slightly insulted that you think I would do something that dumb.

    No, I think you waffled on whether Ichigo was a good lynch and claimed you were joking when pressed on it.

    Voting over.

    Stand by for the execution.

    Are we reading the same post? This is what I am reading:

    On one side, I am saying that Ichigo is not a good lynch because his behavior is too reckless to be mafioso. On the other side, I am saying that we might want to get rid of him because his voting style is annoying. The first poses an actual argument and substantiates it with reasoning. The second is just flippant. Is that really so hard to see?
