Maybe at least with Aganzir we can learn something. Good luck everyone.

It may be considered throwaway, but I don't see the point in voting for someone whom I've not really looked at. THAT would be folly.

Time's up!

I share the computer with Lommy & Greenie so please some patience. I'll check the votes once more and will be back soon.

I can't concentrate on all - there are LOTS of people I hardly even noticed, or, noticed but could not reflect upon... and such. Something like that, probably.
This seems a good enough justification to me, since (if my sociologist professor is correct…) I’m seeing more of a pattern of different sub-groups forming with their own votes and bandwagons. Which does give reason why in light of the larger original group there is little ‘productivity’. Which also makes it a bloody pain to decide on votes (I almost fell into the Lommy or Agan vote indecision, but now I want to avoid it because I’m certain there are others who are parading it around usefully, or it might not come to anything.).

I’m getting a really bad assumption that the vote today will come down to voting for someone just to see if it will reveal anything. I certainly don’t like it, but I don’t want to have guilt over not voting when others and I have put actual work into it.

Haven’t had a good chance to analyze, let alone read much from him, so I’m not going to vote for McCab (still a bit confused as to why he’s such a good choice, if just because he’s “safe” to vote for. Like Di has advised we might need more decision, but from my pov I doubt we’re going to be able to vote for each other and feel ‘good’ about it. You’re going to scuff your knees sometime, get used to it because you’ll learn something.).

Cailin, has proved a bit more of being reasonable today, or at least for her arguments. For that I don’t see much of a direct reason to vote for her. I’m not immediately sure about it, nor do I have any good theories to justify anything.

Brinn, I don’t know much about, I haven’t had much time to analyze per-person today, so I’ll see tomorrow what the fuss is.

Okay, running out of time, might as well get to some point I have some suspicion about.
Mac, I find rather intriguing. Whether he’s innocent or not he’s shown quite a bit at arguing for both sides of a few bandwagons. Albeit a lot more improvement than yesterDay. Still, the whole ‘controversial or not’ justification didn’t make much sense for awhile. Even if there is some improvement, I have a gut feeling it either had some influence from someone else acting in favour, or its for an effort to hide something.
