Now that the game is underway, I'd just like to note:

The voting deadline is 5 AM where I live. That means I'm quite likely to vote 5 or 6 hours early each day. Please try not to hold it against...

*shouts from 100 yards away*

No silver knife for me. No noose neither. I'm safe from the wolves--none of you will go near me, so why should they?

How many times do I have to tell you, it's...

Sorry to interrupt the flow of poll answers, but I'd like to weigh in on the topic that Mithalwen, Piosenniel, and others were discussing above.

Is it too late?

I'd like to sign up if there's still time. And I'll be an ex-leper (I don't think anyone has taken that one yet).

Yes, I was afraid of that when it came down to Shelob. Knowing her identity as I did, I couldn't stand idly by and let her be lynched, and yet it was hard to come to her defense without tipping my...

++Garin

It's coals to Newcastle at this point, I'm afraid--I was actually considering abstaining, because absent an eleventh-hour mass retraction the outcome seems certain for today. But rather...

Yes, and I think she was probably typing her post to that effect at the same time I typed my perhaps overly-tart commentary.

However, it may be too late.

give me the raw data, please!

As Ms. ofRohan has rightly noted, Wayne, you did vote. What do you mean, you would have voted for Thin but ran out of time? Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Rune, I really think she knew exactly what you were referring to. "Nonsense," however, is an awfully loaded word for what I hope you mean to describe as "nonscientific."

You're right, of course. I'll have to be more careful. I stand by my (admittedly flimsy) reasoning, as Thin's vote looks even more like revenge coming third...
