Is this supposed to be a case?! In what universe is it considered scummy to try to hang the dude with at best the worst miller claim in history and at best an actual scumclaim. You need to go have a snickers cause you're not you when you're hungry! Is anyone else looking at this series of posts and thinking "scumteam trying to save one of their own?"

You made the easiest vote available to you. That's scummy.

The easiest vote is a vote for a claimed scum - you must be dumb as a vegan to think that's somehow scummy dummy!

Missed a day, but everyone knows that family visitation day is more important than even these events. There wasn't much to say, anyway, only 33 posts since my last writing. I kept trying to convince everyone that Kleedrac was 1 of 3.5 and we had to vote for them, and at least merk eventually listened. Though apparently he thought Somber was a miller, and that wasn't so at all, haha.

Honestly, I didn't like EXAKT's vote on that bandwagon either. It seemed time to resurrect momentum toward him with a deadline impending, and added a really bad reasoning for it. I told the group I'd be happy voting him as well as Kleedrac.


Mr Morn, your case on Kleedrac consists of a numbers game, and not much else, unless my spyglass is too fogged up. The wind is pointing me towards Somber, but please offer a nice blow towards Kleedrac that consists of something other than "I used numbers" and I'll consider turning this ship in that direction.

yet there's what you're trying to do and brother, brother.

i don't like it.

you hear the words but you ain't listening

all you'd have to do is





















wait


for someone to speak up.

for someone to say 'hey, it's okay.'

ain't that what we're all waiting to hear?

for a stranger to walk up to us on the street

grab us by the shoulder

and say 'it's okay.'

and we smile.

and they nod.

but then at the back of their throat we see a tiny spigot

and their hands are holdingustightandtooclose

and the poison flows forward into our face from the back of their throat

I captained another ship where one of our mutineers did that exact thing, having not realized that he had a job that didn't mesh with the rest of the crew, and claimed it.

Someone claims staff in a game where staff are explicitly the mutineers in this go around. Why do you not have a problem with that?

In DBD's charter, on the first page, it pretty explicitly states that we win when staff and 3p are eliminated.

dbd's brain is like a spider's web

catching thoughts as they pass through.

you don't understand me but man

believe that i understand you.

nothing is behind me, everything is ahead of me. leaving is easy, boys and girls. the night stretches forward forever and so does my soul so i think that if i strain hard enough

far enough

i can touch those stars out ahead of me.

but they're nothing but heat, and heartache, and death is anything but empty. you waste this life then man, you're going to waste the life after.

i stand alone, palms up. waiting for a hand from the circle to say 'you are my brother.' and pull me forward.

but i know most likely next comes the stone. and then another. and then another. and then another. until i can't even say

'more weight.'

as the unconscionable gravity pushes the stones down on me and i sink into the earth i can only think these thoughts. i know they're petty but

'i hope they're rotten, and awful, those who did this

and not just blind dumb animals grasping in the dark

clawing at anything they don't understand

anything that's not them

and i hope

they

are

next.'

Why not? It's what I'd do - if he pulls it off he gets carte blanche from town until he wins.

Now tonight is the Canada Day Celebration and alongside a fantastic fireworks fair we're expecting a Big Bar-b-que Buffet of sweet meats! I'm excited and unfortunately will be indisposed for the rest of the day.

I'm happy with my vote - Somb's defence of randomization doesn't hold water when it is compared to my role PM and the win condition in DBD's OP.
