Niggle? Certainly. I'm willing to work for his eviction. Tell me when.


EDIT: What I should have said is I'll give one vote of mine for one day's vote of the bargainer. So if I help on one day, the bargainer should be prepared for me to ask for a vote on one subsequent day. Or, if the person requesting my assistance originally voted for Smith and changed to a different cause that I was then asked to aid, that same day's vote counts as the one that fulfills the bargainer's side of the deal. Thus, if SPM switches to Niggle today and I follow suit, I can't ask him to vote for someone other than Smith on a subesquent day because he's already made one switch from Smith. On the other hand, if someone else makes a new vote for someone other than Smith and asks for my vote, I can and will ask for that person's vote on another day. Sorry for any non-clarity. I have a nasty cold on top of my usual allergies and am taking massive doses of antihistamines, so I'm groggy, not feeling well, and not always saying things correctly.
