Out of all the questionable people today, Mandarin is a clear first choice for me, and has actually been the one who has been cheerleading the longest without a solid stance (other than an interesting quibble on Captain Li he never really pressed).
Votes Barney for having a case he can't 'follow', and drops his Li point completely, making him to most contentless person in the game next to Gilgamesh. Even makes a
Krabs post to facilitate a possible switch to him, but goes to Barney instead since he had more numbers. He's as scummy as can be.
If I were here earlier, I would not have understood the Barney case one bit; witholding a vote for the duration of one other vote doesn't seem like the obvious cheerleading people place it as (see Orange), and despite perhaps the shoddy rhetoric (e.g only scum!Krabs can do this and that), he does have a pretty original and well-thought out case on Krabs, as well as some side-opinions on Duff Beer and Alpha. However, the
last post he made almost gave me liver cancer, since he's effectively voting Duff Beer for being 1) 'dumb' (when others including Merryweather had agreed with Duff Beer's cheerleading point, giving his reasons some validity which Barney did not address) and 2) pushing bandwagons for shady reasons, especially his, neither of which have been explained by him as worse than Krabs' over-defensiveness. Leads me to suspect that he never really believed in the Krabs case at all.
As for Duff Beer, I think his three points (which I don't necessarily agree with) redeemed himself partially and gave validity to his jump on Barney, which is far more than what Saki or Orange can say. Willing to leave him for tomorrow and see how he contributes. Mr. Krabs is also looking like a misguided townie for me; earnestly trying to hunt for scum in his own way for all the wrong reasons. Deserves scrutiny for finding everyone that could be scummy scummy, whether it be by gut or logic, but I feel enough sincerity from him to not consider him today. Li, I would have to reread.. I'm still not convinced regarding his Krabs vote, and his arbitrary clear of Orange (yes he's scummy for this and this but I still believe in him) feels weird but that should be left for tomorrow.
##Unvote##Vote: Mandarin Orange L-2, I think.

Barney, why do you think Duff Beer's case on you is dumb if some people (for example, initially Merryweather), have agreed with his cheerleading point? Doesn't this give more validity to Beer's case than you seem to be acknowledging? It affects the very foundation of your case.
Saki, why did you agree with Barney's opinions before proceeding to vote him? And why did you change your vote from Krabs to Barney just because you saw no one agreeing with you? Doesn't really make much sense, and seems quite wait-and see.
Quite opposed to Alphas premature claim, but what can I do? I would want Gilga to be lynched for being a liability to town which could cause problems approaching LyLo.
