I'd like to draw attention to just how scummy this vote is at this juncture. Everyone else is involved in a productive logistical conversation about how town maximizes its chances of winning, and that conversation has moved into the realm of policy lynching as the best policy for town, to the point where Space, who was nearly at L-1, had two votes removed from them by Awaclus and Glooble.
I think I've made it clear that I disagree that policy lynching is the best option when we should be lynching scum outright. If there's a second cult out there, or someone with a vigging power, it destroys the delicate balance we might be able to get form lynching Ash, whereas killing scum puts us into a safe place for another day, and is the only way I can see of doing that.
In the middle of that, after offering the flimsiest of justifications, Space drops a vote on me
It was 8.35pm forum time, which is a point where most of the US side of the pond are still awake and active on the forum, so hardly the middle of the night. It was very late for me personally, but I'm a night owl who's busy with work during the day.
a player who (A) is the only player with a vote on me, although you might forget because it was placed so long ago
At the point I placed my vote, e had a vote on me, so you're technically wrong. Also, I have an automatic vote counter, so I didn't forget anything.
(B) takes one less vote to lynch
I factored that in, too. As I've already posted my justification for in-thread, I think that one of you and UoS
has to be scum. You were the one I could take to L-2, so I went with it.
drop the vote that literally has the highest chance in resulting in a quick non-ash lynch, which we have recently determined to be essentially an easy scum path to victory.
It's true I deliberately left you at L-2 overnight (UK time) all day, and have been too busy with work to log into the forum till now (which is almost 8pm for me). But that should have given plenty of time for any two-person scum-team not including you and UoS to coordinate. So now I'm even more confident that any scum-team has to include one or both of you. Anyone else can be confident of the same thing but with me in the mix.
We're also two days out from deadline, so there's a chance that if town isn't able to make up its mind I end up plurality lynched as the biggest wagon.
This is kind of backwards. Yes, we've got like a third of the day left to go, so obviously I'll move my vote before deadline if I think it's the best way to lynch scum.
