Howdy do, everyone! Sorry for being MIA - I meant to get on last night and catch up, but I went to a haunted house instead with someone unexpected visitors. Based on the wait time, the amount I paid, and the attraction itself...I wish I'd been here instead :P
I see many are gunning for Epi's lynch. From what I've read, many people are getting on him about not making a lie detector statement about being a robot/Cyberman, and others are claiming that his second coming (haha he'll dig that) is more evasive than the first. I'll say he's a slippery fish until I figure him out, which I assume will be never. With that being said, I don't see him as being any more evasive than his first self/usual self, and I am not surprised he's refusing to give a straight answer to the LD. That's pretty him if you ask me, and I don't know why people are so sure that he's bad right now. The guy's already been lynched this game, and I think others are more probable candidates.
Like Dana. I've read your adamant defense of Dana, MP, and it doesn't really change my mind about her. She might be RL busy, yes. But she has dropped off since Night 4, and who has been lynched/killed in the wake? The very people she had been defending - Enrique and Made (although when things started to go sour towards Made, she began to "see" that his behavior was strange). She has been very...what's the word? Agreeing? Blendy? Earlier she had pinged me for some reason and I couldn't quite remember why, but I went back and read posts from when she had made the following statement:
Dana wrote:
I really feel like they were both civ, and we should take a closer look at the people who have been more along the sidelines. I'm not sure exactly who that would be, but I don't think the Epig lynch was a save. It seemed more like two civ options, and for me at least, I went with the person I felt slightly more sure was bad.
The other person she referred to was Snow Dog. So, already drawing attention away from her bad vote for Epi with the ambiguous term "seemed," which could be interpreted as "Hey, I figured out I made a bad vote, so it
seemed now like a Civ vs. Civ vote" OR "Oh, I wasn't sure about the vote, he
seemed bad at the time I voted, but that's clear now that people are pointing out my behavior." Then, when splints called her out on it, she responded thusly:

Correct. It seems now, after Epig's role has been revealed, that they were both civvie. I voted one because I was more sure SD was good than I was was about Epi, so I don't think we should vote SD today because the night post implied that we'd be in big trouble if we lynch another civ.
Called out again, then she responds thusly:

I didn't feel both options in the last lynch were civ at the time the lynch was happening. I explained already that I feel that way now that Epig's role has been revealed. Meaning I thought SD was civ and I still do even after what happened. I did vote for who I thought was bad, and I was wrong.
There are multiple posts defending Snow Dog (I will not quote all of them because they are very easy to find if you search her posts), but all of a sudden this post comes along Day 2:
Dana wrote:
Snow Dog's recent vote switch really bothered me. I said before how I was slightly suspicious of Snow Dog following MP's vote yesterday(?). The asking who to vote for and just placing his vote on whoever's the most likely to be lynched at that time is not sitting well with me. You're being super fishy, friend.
She then votes SD out of the blue, after multiple defense posts of him, and then seems surprised:
Dana wrote:Okay, whoa, did not expect that to happen. I was strongly considering voting for Snow Dog back when I made the post saying his vote switched bothered me, but I got distracted with calc homework that was due at 11 and forgot to actually do the vote until the last minute. This was a really surprising turn of events, but hopefully we'll get a good result.
Surprised at what? The lynch? At the fact that others voted for SD? Because she voted pretty close to the deadline, out of nowhere, so I don't really know why any of that would be a surprise. She never really provided the explanation she promised about him, likely in hopes that people would stop taking notice of her second bad vote. Then, as others have pointed out, she asked if Snow Dog 2.0 could comment on his former self, which by itself is a pretty innocuous question, but thinking of it in the context of "Oh shit, I voted him for no plausible reason and he's back from the dead," I can see where others are coming from now.
And now she has disappeared. Busy? Maybe. Hiding? I believe so. Voting Dana.
