MODNOTE: I won't be able to access my computer tonight when the deadline hits. I will have to post the results of the end of the Canto tomorrow morning. The deadline, however, is still tonight at 12:52 AM EST, and nothing posted or submitted after that will count.

Hmm. So if I'm reading these rules right as off the current vote totals if the day were to end no-one die yes? Is there a 'last vote removed until lynch' rule I'm missing or is it really a 'draw = no lynch' situation. Interesting.

if I'm reading that right there's no lynch unless there's a majority, whether or not there's a tie.

Fair enough. But yeah I find it interesting that if we don't come to a consensus no-one dies. That could prove useful later.

To say majority is faux pas. Threshold is what matters. While a majority of us may have a majority for our threshold, there could be those among us that are lynched easier or harder than reaching majority. In cases of it being harder, even if we reach majority but don't reach threshold, there won't be a lynch.

The easiest way to look at it is simply if we don't lynch early, we don't lynch.

yeah it was a poor word choice.

So...how does Razor have 4 votes when I'm the only one voting for him?
Is it dependent on the number of people voting for me? Is it a positive ability from my circle, or a negative one from his? If we're not going to lynch, I guess I have to switch my vote so we can get some type of info here.

I'd prefer to lynch someone (anyone that's not me). My reasons on Razor were weak, and, could be dispelled by my taking my vote off of him and putting it else where, then having someone else vote him, most helpful would be someone who's got votes on them. I assume Zinger will give us a final votecount after the Canto ends.

So, that's what I'm going to do, and it's the reason I'm voting for Numbers. He's got one vote on him, I'm thinking that he's going to check things before the Canto ends. So, Numbers, if you vote Razor, and he gets 2 votes from you, then my assumption is that he's in a circle that, when voted for, votes count for how ever many are on the player voting.

If I vote for you, and yours jumps by 4, then I'm assuming that the circle I'm in does something where the number of votes against you is the number yours counts as (I'm sure I could be clearer here, but I think everyone will get it).

So, lets see about getting some information before the end of the day...

Unvote
Vote: 15377

my vote count has gone up by one every time I've placed a vote on a new person.

I'm assuming that's not a coincidence.

I'm back, from my lack of internet, with a few minutes to spare.
Hello World, I see what you mean. I'll go down one circle.

@NeoSilk: Of course, when I propose that you are being aggressive you stop being aggresive. As soon as (IIRC) three votes were on you, you just threw me under the bus. That's aggressive. Up to that point you didn't appear to care that you had any votes on you.

With all this going on, I'd prefer getting a lynch rather than a no lynch as I feel that there will be multiple kills at the end of the canto, I'm thinking two, but it could be more.

Yeah, no. I find this especially suspicious. Your original vote was because Razor was suffering from a drawback, now you're like, "Wha? Razor is suffering from a drawback?" and trying to get more people to vote him to "test" it. Frankly it looks to me like you're hoping to create a situation in which you can quick lynch razor at deadline.

I'm good with my vote exactly where it is.

CANTO 1.7

When I beheld him in the desert vast,
“Have pity on me,” unto him I cried,
“Whiche’er thou art, or shade or real man!”
He answered me: “Not man; man once I was,
And both my parents were of Lombardy,
And Mantuans by country both of them.
‘Sub Julio’ was I born, though it was late,
And lived at Rome under the good Augustus,
During the time of false and lying gods.
A poet was I, and I sang that just
Son of Anchises, who came forth from Troy,
After that Ilion the superb was burned.
But thou, why goest thou back to such annoyance?
Why climb’st thou not the Mount Delectable,
Which is the source and cause of every joy?”

razorborne and NeoSilk are both at MAJORITY MINUS THREE

Canto 1 will end on July 13th at 12:52 AM EST (approx 1 hour and 37 minutes from now).

that's odd, I would've expected to go down to 3 when Neo unvoted. I'm gonna double check Neo's voting-target theory.

nope, doesn't work either. now I have no idea what's going on.

Looks like it's going to be a no lynch then unless there is a massive shift in votes in the next 20 minutes or so. I seriously doubt that though. On the upside no night phase so we don't have to wait around any,

CANTO 1.8

....
And I to him: “Poet, I thee entreat,
By that same God whom thou didst never know,
So that I may escape this woe and worse,
Thou wouldst conduct me there where thou hast said,
That I may see the portal of Saint Peter,
And those thou makest so disconsolate.”
Then he moved on, and I behind him followed.

Canto 1 has ended. There was no Lynch.



Please bear with me, I will need until tomorrow morning to start Canto 2. You may continue to post in the meantime, if you wish.

So I got my wish as far as the no lynch goes. Now we'll see if I was right about other kills...

Er. Did anyone get a chance to move? Or are we allowed to move now?

Basically, you have to PM zinger during Canto and the move happens at the end of Canto. Some roles are a bit more free or restricted.

So you cannot move now anymore, but if you PM zinger that you want to move, you'll move at the start of C3.
