Right now, I trust you about as far as I can throw you. Considering we're on opposite sides of the country...

And with your bad knee, Ed, you shouldn't be throwing anybody.

No, I've pledged. I'm claiming after hammer today.

btw, bler, I know you're not changing your vote today. But just do me a favor, eh? Keep braining a bit on this one: You'll notice that you and Wyrm have similar reasons for voting for me today. But check out the difference in how you're expressing it and what your attitude is about it.

One of us is tired and has a headache and the other one doesn't?

Probably roughly similar to difference between "I think that snake might be venomous" and "HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LION AND IT'S COMING THIS WAY!"

Hey all, I still have to read and catch up and will do that in a bit (my partner is going to be out for the late afternoo into late evening so I will have ample opportunity to play!), but I wanted to quickly apologize for my participation yesterday as I was not in a good place and should have not been trying to do anything with other people, much less have fun playing a game. I'm very sorry if my attitude was detrimental to the fun for any of you. Overall I'm having a blast and look forward to getting back into it in a few hours!

So, in the column of questions I think you should be able to answer without claiming:

@Yogs, yesterday in 801/861 and a few other posts you seemed to be absolutely confident that there were two squads. And given that you live in L.A. gambling a house is no small wager.

Then in 882 you make the case for why two squads doesn't have any evidence, and voila, no real mention of it from you since. Not even asking 'why' you were confident there were two squads at the time, since I know you won't answer that, but:

1) What is your opinion on two squads at the present time?
2) If you've moved off it, why?
3) If you're still feeling it, what is the shape of these teams in your mind?

If you answer, I'll tell you why I'm asking. I mean, I'll probably tell you why anyway, but I wanted to give you the chance to answer first.

It's already contained in my big pre-written post.

Ok. But since you don't want to post that until after the lynch, bler's (and now me) are wondering if you could post something now.

It's really not all about me and what farts I smell in the wind all the time, you know.

The discussion slows down considerably. Both camps seem to have fortified. Cristi breaks the stalemate, but still most participants seem to hold back. Everyone watchign each other, waiting for the bad guys to make a mistake.

So what?

You can seemingly answer those questions without claiming, and your answer might help me sort out if I should give you leeway to wait and share more until after we deal with Leonard.

Call me a cynic, but my guess is that you've actually written two big pre-written posts. One for if he flips town, and one for if he flips scum.

I mean, you would totally do that, right?

My intention - if possible - is to post it post-hammer, pre-flip.

So no. There's only one.

Good. Good. My plan is going accordingly. Now to corrupt trent.

Eh, it wouldn't be the strongest of votes. Yog always looks at things from a weird perspective to mine. I'm waiting for his claim. Hopefully it comes before any lynch. But if no claim comes and all he needs is a hammer.... I wanna hammer!....
