I got this PM from B_ray two minutes prior to the first night write-up.

Though I'm only one man, I can assure you that I'll do my best to keep others from voting you into a match before the final round, if you can prosime the same for me.

Do consider my offer, and congratulations again!
Me being who I am, naturally my little bat ears perked up. Ooh, flattery and a promise of an alliance that would protect a putative mafia B_ray from the lynch while hurting them not at all as regards me? (I wasn't going to be lynched anyway after diving in headfirst on day one; and knowing my toughest Pokemon, they'd have very good odds of taking me out at night if they were to try.) So I was what you might say, interested. I was also under the impression the PM had been sent after the day had started, with B_ray drawing a vote almost right off the bat, which sort of added to things. (I see now it was actually sent *before* the day started, which if anything is even more interesting. How did B_ray know either of us would still be alive?)

Anyway, while I was still mulling over that, I got this PM from robbiecon:

I replied that I would appreciate it if he did; robbiecon's return PM, while not committing fully, was encouraging that he would. (Obviously, he did, and it means the mafia will have to attack me one more time than otherwise. Good timing.) However, meanwhile in the thread, robbiecon had suggested I might fight again, I replied to B_ray stating I was OK with a one day alliance to be renegotiated as needed, and by the way, had he noticed that robbiecon was already after me to fight again? robbie being an almost dead-certain innocent at that point, I was curious to see what B_ray would do. He did this, in public response to robbie:

Oh come now, she's already proven herself. Trying to eliminate the weakened players first? I disapprove.
So, more flattery of sorts, plus going after robbie without actually placing a vote, even though the vote he did have (on Seon) he said was only random.

All of this together (plus my near-death last night coincidentally upon the expiration of our cease-fire agreement), would probably have me voting for B_ray today, except for this from last night:

It almost seems *too* obvious as a post from a mafia.

Regardless, if I don't bring this up now, than I may never be able to, since a lone Scizor doesn't seem very likely to survive against whatever the mafia have left.
