I thought I am part of that ploy?

I'll be around frequently.

No, I will have access via either my PC or phone.

Not really planning on it no. although I won't really expect me to be online on the 24th of December and perhaps the 25th as well.

I should be able to keep up with the requested once every 48 hours. But that will be about it for me from Christmas through New Years.

Nah, I'll be around. I'm just kinda lurking about.

Im around infrequently - will try to keep an eye on

@Vitek - I've not suggested that you are part of the ploy, I'm just suspicious of your stated reason for voting nmillar, i.e. "I support Zchinque". Its on a par with Zchinque's vote without reason, and suggests some sort of relationship. Or.... Perhaps you have understood his tactic and are playing along with it.

@Rodzaju I'm not going anywhere.

So, PenutBrittle, what are your reads so far?

I've been pretty busy with the GOG Secret Santa and a job interview this week, but should be alright for the next 12 days (except Christmas Day itself).

The best of luck to you!

I should be able to check in every day at the very least to read it and answer any pressing queries. But tis the season of unpredictability as we could all have guessed.

Le Baron - not a rhetorical question no, (nor a threat; I do much wonder at what one would hope to gain from threats of murder) but I was just supposing giving the possibility that you are teamed up with certain or know something about specific people then how would you react to being asked to call a name on a whim? not original, it's just more RandomVoting stage isn't it? So then what do you think to the suggestion that peanutbrittle, zchnique and orryyrro are our mafia team? It's just a baseless thought on my part. ((I hope Rod and any other observers we might have would be suitably impressed if I have just managed to name the scum. Of course if I have it's not going to be much help at this stage. I'm going into too much detail, keep it simple.))

here's a question for you Zchinique - Did you expect vitek to vote with you?

I think a few people have asked me, I feel bad that I just noticed. So here we go.

Nmillar - Too quiet to make a serious read, but Zchinque's obsession weirds me out.
JoeSapphire - I find it it ironic he wants to lynch for lurking, but not much else to say.
Jefequeso - Seems benign to me.
Muttly13 - Same. Sorry for the RVS vote.
Robbeasy - No read
Orryyrro - No read here either. Very quiet.
Itai.sharim - Seems benign to me as well.
Crazybear - Suspiciously eloquent in his arguments, and quick to defend a joke, which bothers me. But no real alarm bells yet.
Vitek - Jumping on Nmillar without visible cause seems weird. See Zchinque.
Red Baron - No real read either.
Zchinque - I don't like the secrecy, the weird behaviour, and the refusal to answer questions. Oddly enough, it almost makes me think he's town just because I can't imagine scum would ever try to act that suspicious. Of course, maybe that's his angle.
Stuart9001 - Feels very town.

Lurking has become to standard practice on this thread, are we assuming this is all holiday related? If not, I would say a good number of folks need to chat it up a bit.

For me it's holiday related. Frankly, while college was in session I was eager to find some excuse to avoid studying and/or attending class :3. Now, I've got free time galore so I'm visiting friends, catching up on my composing, going for walks... and of course getting ready for Christmas.
