At least I can be comforted in knowing that given
Sally was secretly dead against me (with very shabby reasoning, I might add!) and
Pitch voted for me while I was away, it didn't really matter which way I voted at the end.
Sally: I demand that you re-read the Silmarillion in its entirety, right now.
Pitch: May you be plagued, very briefly, with a rain of toy frogs.
Shasta: So, you kept
Sally alive because of my stated intention to vote for you and because she would be more likely to vote for me than for
G55, right? I was correct when I said you had more to gain from it. Sigh.
I'm pleased that my long-running suspicion of
Shasta turned out to be correct. But, uh, also not pleased. And I do wish I'd voted against him as planned, even though it wouldn't have done anything.
