Ah but that whas what I was looking for

And in reply to your question ..... I have enough trouble dealing with actual decisions without pondering hypotheticals

So I would have voted Bethberry again....

Glad to see that the game gave those little grey cells of yours so much exercise, phantom.

Had you implemented your plan, you would have succeeded in one of two things:

1. If your "invalid vote plan" had been deemed invalid, you and either Mith or I (probably Mith, as I think that I was the next to post after you voted) would have been up for the coin toss of doom. The outcome, therefore, would probably have been little different.

2. If your "invalid vote plan" had been deemed acceptable, then you would merely have given yourself the unenviable task of deciding which of the two of us to lynch. You would have been welcome to it, as it was not a task which I found particularly gratifying.

Not entirely right.

If I had allowed his invalid vote plan to work, I'd have gone through and retallied votes from day one onward and the game would still be in play.

And there was me thinking that phantom and I were the anoraks here ...

At the risk of further accusations of borderline autism from Mith, I have worked out that the strict retrospective application of voting rules (player identified in capital letters with name fully stated) would have resulted in the phantom being lynched on Day 1.

Ah, poetic justice.

You know, there's still time.

Anybody want to keep playing?
