For some reason I had an image in my head of a Hot Potato Pass It On type of game, except instead of a hot potato you have a chicken, and also that chicken is alive and flailing and thrashing and shrieking its head off. No one wants to hold the chicken, but you can't let it run loose either, or it will peck everyone's eyes out. (Sounds familiar, everyone who tried to shirk endgame voting responsibility? )

-_- Nobody told me being dead came with responsibilities.

So now we're at one vote each way too... this game, I swear.

Well done breaking the impasse, Greenie--right or wrong, it had to be done.

Now... do we all like on or wait?

EDIT: xposted with Boro. I swear...

I'm hungry and no one wants my judgement to be influenced by getting hangry. So be done with it now and go get the food.

I mean if the outcome of this game ends up hinging on whether you've been fed and watered, that will be kind of perfect.

Or everyone else just vote for Pitch for this comment? Morsul's still lynched.

Ugh, taking one last look at the early votes to see if anything pops.

The utter silence of our dead Wolves is either great or... suspicious. If Kath is still around, we have room for a robust majority. Otherwise, it might be best if Hui and I agree, since we need to be first to the tie to win it.

Legate cross-posted with Lommy on my lynch, with 3 minutes between them. With the Preview button /right there/, I feel like he would have been able to avoid that if they were both wolves. If Lommy is innocent, an 'accidental cross-post' was a great way for Legate to avoid responsibility for killing me.

I mean... I lean innocent-Lommy, so I can definitely be persuaded. But if Kath is going Morsul, should we both do likewise?
