Funnily enough, whoever joins you for Day3, there is still going to be a "baddie-order" in this house. Just thinking about the speculation before the game, whether everyone would just wait and listen to what the QT votes, and then "hide behind it".

Oh, imagine if Hui abstains too without offering up a candidate. The resulting discussion on the GT will be priceless.

...Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just cobbling away peacefully, I mean nobody any harm.

Although my vote yesterday was received exactly as I'd hoped, I think toDay it would be more fun to give you two free rein. Don't mind me, I think I'll take a nap.

Is Pitch really appealing to meta reasoning in order to get out from under the suspicion umbrella? Is he that desperate to look like an ordo?

To be fair, yesterDay I gave up and just skipped to the conclusion of every Wall of Text, regardless of poster. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep up with the "current events" as they were happening.

That wall of text made my eye twitch. He should be banished to his own QT thread as punishment.

Or you could make a list and I will pick from it.
Or we can both abstain until the DL and see what the other half of the thread comes up with as the "known wolf" vote.
Or, you could abstain and I would vote, in which case my vote would count over Rikae's and Kit's unless they pre-plan and band together.

Do you vote for a controversial player? For someone not widely suspected? For someone quiet? For someone who was once suspected but is not anymore? For the most suspected person at the moment? For a person never really suspected seriously? For someone that the GT has associated close with you as a potential mate? Or for someone who they decide cannot possibly be your mate? Are you triple bluffing or quadruple bluffing? And which one of these is the guiding principle?

What they don't realize is that the level of bluff rises as the stakes fall, and one QT vote 2h before DL accomplishes, well, not much. How high can we set the bar?
