    I just can't believe you'd ever actually have that thought considering your own personal track record.

    This argument makes no sense.

    Of course if you ignore the times they worked as huge successes, it looks like a bad strategy.

    Moving votes around at EOD puts wolves in awkward, uncomfortable spots and forces people to put their money where there mouth is. I don't understand the stance you're taking here.

    Could you look any more desperate here? I honestly don't believe that either of you are town anymore after how you've been playing recently.

    So, ladies and gentlemen,

    there you have it. On this, the tournament's first (really really long) day,

    one player is eliminated.

    Logic was:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Hikaru Nakamura.



    You are a four time US Chess Champion, and you once wrote a book about bullet chess. You peaked in 2015 with a 2816 rating, but currently your rating is a measly 2781. You are a shadow of your former self, and you would like to earn back some of your former glory.

    Because of this, you have joined ranks with three other individuals, and in your secret lair you plot for revenge on a chess world that's full of power struggles, drama and sore losers. You also bring something extra special to the team. You have the power to ensure that your team's biggest enemy is eliminated (1x strongman).

    EOD peels away the mask and reveals true intentions.

    Dp101 is a wolf.

    I am saying that CFDs for the sake of CFDs are a poor idea that doesn't lead to good lynches. I'd much prefer to actually lynch scum through a sensible and reasonable method than suddenly switch around votes and kill town just for the sake of "reactions".

    I never said it was for the sake of anything.

    You and Monty are both better lynches than Logic.

    Your oversimplistic reduction of my argument is nagl.
