- People who are doing absolutely nothing are exactly the kind of people not to vote for, because if they are doing nothing they will be dealt with by the mod.
I was afraid that Polaris would escape the modkill, since he had made a post (albeit an excessively worthless one) in accordance with the rule. My understanding of the modkill rule is that it is to get rid of people who have completely disappeared from the internets, rather than to get rid of lurkers, since lurking is considered a valid strategy in some circles I've read about (though a poor one in an environment unfriendly to lurkers).
re NobuKilga end of d2 stuff: I'm actually not too familiar with the situation that Nobu went through, as Sakana has handled it in a fairly discreet manner. I assumed that since Nobu's vote was still counted at the end of d2, that Nobu was still considered an active player and capable of participation at that point in time. Instead it sounds like he was rendered incapable of posting shortly after he posted his case on Neo. This certainly makes him harder to read, but I appreciate the consistency of his stance on Neo despite the change of real life players, and the manner in which NobuKilga today has carefully considered and commented upon most cases that have been presented today. So still feeling good here, even if I was mistaken in my earlier reasoning.

Lastly, however, I have to agree with you that the attack on you for unvoting Serela is quite bad since Kefit unvoted himself too.
Eh? I'm fairly sure I never unvoted Neo, largely because my vote was never on him in the first place. Please take a bit more care in reading my posts before slinging mud at me.

Chaore has failed to impress today.
Other than Kefit- UK still kind of holds from Zak coming up scum, so combined with continued pressure on Neo she's looking pretty town. Nobu I removed above because I frankly want to get more of a read from Kilga's next posts, as his D2 while good was also kind of cut short by whatever sakana did. Affinity is thinking along my lines of thought which I like, but there's something about that in that I've come up wrong currently.
These are the only words Chaore has had to say on any of the remaining non-Bard players, aside from a brief attack on myself. And nothing is really being said here aside from a desire to followup on NobuKilga after more posts were made (hasn't happened) and a completely unsuppoerted hunch that something is "wrong" with Affinity despite the fact that he likes what Affinity has to say. There's no actual scumhunting going on here, and no thought processes that are careful or cautious enough to have been made by a townie. His continued tunnel vision on Bard
in subsequent posts takes a strange, simultaneously offensive and defensive posture in the form of attemping to call out Bard on misreps pertaining to Chaore himself*. It's much easier to twist words around to form a poor accusation of misrepresentation than it is to find real instances of scummy play. Not to say that misreps aren't at least anti-town, but the misreps cited by Chaore haven't been impressive in the slightest.
Yes, Chaore looked the worst to me earlier today and has done nothing to help his case. Consider my fakevote for the day on Chaore.
* Yes, I know it looks weird for me to call people out on tunnel vision, the difference is that I've expanded my thoughts to other players whereas others have as of yet declined to do so.

Ironically, despite my stance on Chaore, he did post one tidbit that got me thinking:
@Bard: Going to make content not just on the assured lynch?
Bard has done very little today aside from sparring with Chaore and posting lots of waffling words regarding the Neo case. These words take up space but don't really do anything but give credence to conspiracy theories, which is decidedly anti-town at this stage of the game. I certainly cannot blame Bard for defending himself from Chaore's attack, but this defense should not be in lieu of his thoughts on other players.
I liked Bard a lot earlier today, but I find these issues genuinely disconcerting and no longer smile upon him as much. The purpose of prolonging this day seems to have been to force everyone to make their thoughts known, to put something on the table that can't be taken back once the final days come about. At this point in time I feel that Bard is shirking this responsibility.
