It's a bit early say whether someone is lurking, so we lynch a known lurker...the kind of person who gets left alive all game and ends up in the final 4 with the game on the line.
Sort of the same reasoning I'd use for Seamus here. Hmm. Andres isn't barking either. Pressure voting doesn't work unless there is actual pressure involved. I'll question him next round. unvote: Andres
vote: 777Ares777
Gives us options besides Taka and Reenk, if people change their minds.

Ares's activity was a bit down when he was the Nudicyclist in GF3, and that was as a pro-town role. As a mafioso he'd probably be even more cautious. And he definitely would have posted by now.
Okay. I still agree with taka as a choice. taka is NOT the only one, and it would be useful to pressure more -- including me. But you might also add Arach, Sigurd and a couple of the newer names. Also, Ituralde isn't exactly burning up the boards, and he certainly knows the drill.
Yes, ultimately, I am trying to change taka's style of play a bit, just as mine was altered in response to many lynches and more than a few murders.
It is basic that interaction provides evidence and lurking does not. We end up all the time in these games hammering any poor who actually talks in the thread while letting people who slide in, vote, then leave get away with it. I wish to nix that. Anybody who's providing a lot of interaction is a much easier target for mistakes, slips, and inconsistencies. That's the point. The point is not to instantly lynch anybody active in the thread just because you are more familiar with their name.
My contribs in this thread HAVE been thin. If you wish to lynch me for lurking, then you have enough evidence to do so. That will change, but I've only so much time and I have a lot of PM/reveal work to churn out in Settlement. I do not think that my contributions here have been hard to decipher nor inconsistent. Nor do I think they are grossly fewer than is typical of me in early rounds in most games.
You'll be getting my usual voter pattern analysis etc. soon, but you folks who have been here a while know that it is pretty silly to try before the 3rd vote.
Pizza: you of ALL people know how much I'm pasting into the settlement today.
Grrrr....this is what I get for breaking my own rule and signing up for two at once.

Precisely why I unvoted you, Seamus. It wasn't fair to pressure you for contributing less here because of your activity today. However, and I'm not trying to pick on you, I think you would have more time to contribute in previous days... if I am wrong, all I really need is that explanation. And we have better lynch choices than you, I think.
Whenever I've been online I've posted, I hope GH's vote wasn't for inactivity because that that time I had 14 posts and GH only 6, I believe that if your looking for lurkers theres about 10 more candidates you could pick before I even enter the competition, I just come home to find 2 80 post pages added, I'm not posting too little, but all of you are posting too much. LOL
Too confused and tired, I'll only be called a bandwagonner if I go with the flow so
I am here and I can tie it up if people want me to do so. My vote on Ares is worthless anyway. Not sure either Taka or Reenk deserves to go. Do we have a third option?
I did a quick reread but didn't see anything lynchworthy.
In support of lynching taka:

You must have been dancing with glee to be one of the one's to ace me when it was you or me on the line -- you could help kill one of the one's gnawing at you in a setting where NOBODY -- including me -- would make much of your vote.
I'll vote for Reenk Roink. It makes me feel like a total jerk, though. I don't think Reenk is guilty, I just feel Taka deserves a round of benefit of the doubt. We'll question him next round.
Well I suppose if GH had posted the fake-taka entry first and the fake reenk entry second I'd have an entirely different set of quotes. The point was, it's good to have "knowable" people alive in endgame...I just happen to enjoy reenks version of inscrutable more than taka's.

Sir, you have hurt my feelings and aroused suspicions. Explain yourself!!!
I didn't strong arm anybody, I just kept the tie going. Ptolemists gave no explanation and voted Beefy into the lead. I would have done the same even if I was a townie.
Can someone actually give me a reason for the Taka and Reenk lynches... apparently Taka is a lurker with a higher post count than quite a few people... and reenk is acting like himself...
Im sorry but unless theres a decent candidate im going to vote abstain but i will vote for someone tomorrow if it kills me...
