Sorry
Sauce. Reading through the thread, some things jump out at me and others are pushed into the background. You did explain it pretty well.
And yes, I did underline
Formendacil's name on the suspicion list. But 'forcefully repeated' it? Was it the tongue-smiley

which added that extra 'force'?
I have since seen other options regarding
Formendacil's vote; it's called being open to suggestion, and being un-dogmatic. I'm also noticing that our posts reflect similar behaviour in regard to this,
Saucy – as in:
Formendacil, from suspect to useful tactical strategist. It seems that my argumentative nature has spawned a rally out of nothing.
I'll have to vote very soon. The spirit-world calls to me. Plus, I have beads to tie.
