Your insistence upon me today seems to point towards wanting folks to think that you don't change horses in the middle of the stream.

Also - if I make it through to tomorrow, things are looking so that I won't be here.
Well, if I'm wrong, I truely apologize. But really, my vote is not a matter of keeping the village from thinking I'm changing horses. I very nearly decided to go for Saurreg today, but I wanted to see how the theories played out and this seemed like the best way to test it.

To clarify, by not voting for Eomer or Phantom, I needed to pick someone who looked able to snatch away a majority and I thought that a possible no-show who had a vote already and *could* possibly get a majorty would be a better way to try and stop a phantom, Eomer, Oddwen triple-lynching than going for someone unlikely to get any votes. Not a wasted vote by going for someone I thought would die anyway, but a way to put a majority to someone who would die anyway to keep us from losing two villagers instead of one.

I realize I look pretty suspicious now, but I genuinely voted in the way I hoped would help the village most, even if my reasoning turns out to be horribly wrong.
