I kinda believe PoP

Honestly the only way I wouldn't want to lynch Thanos today is if a) I got his word from him or MMM and b) I was wholly convinced he didn't have 10+ words

Did I hit a nerve?

And is this similar to how yesterday, merk said he would give his word out today to a bunch of people... and yet has somehow managed not to get around to it, yet?

Hey, EXAKT, Rarity, could I get a letter from your guys' words too? I know this might not be making sense but I think I'm on the verge of an interesting strategy that could help things go smoothlier

As far as I know, there is no way to prove a negative, doubly so in a game based around secret knowledge, so that really only leaves one option.

And I suppose I've already proven that I'm not above bribery, so I'll ask MMM to give it to you, provided you vote for PoP.

My offer was to switch from me to winvirus. Once Somber had more votes than me, I rescinded the offer because it was no longer relevant, and I didn't want someone getting free words from me because of a "technically right" kind of situation.

Nobody actually took me up on it. There was nothing shady or untoward about it, and the fact that you're trying to imply there was is loving laughable.

If you're capable of the basic addition of "who probably has the most words right now," you need to vote merk, since he just picked up two more to add to his collection.

We're up to six words public now. Merk is in position to be hella close to 13. I suppose it's technically possible EXAKT Science has a hoard of words that nobody knows, but... Talk about your low-percentage chances.

You're right; I was wrong about merk being the only holdout. Actually, as far as I know, there could be several more holdouts (including you, since we have no verification yet). Merk is the only holdout with a clear chance of winning this in the next day or two, though.

Here's my reasoning:

We have at least two people keeping their word fairly close to the chest: merk and EXAKT Science. Merk has been contacted by many people; has anyone contacted EXAKT Science?

So, we should base our vote on who we are more likely to give the win to: is it more likely that voting EXAKT will give the win to merk, or more likely that voting merk will give the win to EXAKT?

PoP thinks the latter; I think the former. Form your own conclusions.
