mmm. little new, but enough of interest to comment on.
regarding Almaz, i admit pleasure: while he does not completely allay my concerns, he shows more capability and willingness to dig both at suspicious behavior and at arguments. while that initial srsbsns post still rubs the wrong way, and Gordon seems somewhat scratchy as a new target, more suspicious actors have made their presence known and Almaz's commentary on the Tick's actions has been... acceptable, though it seems Almaz skimmed over Tick's later post which elaborated. curious, but for now...
##UNVOTE: Almaz
Gordon raises a decent point regarding "cheerleading", though in this case i disagree with Almaz being one - Almaz has ventured forth his vote and called people out with it, and such conversation stimulates the flow of data. Saber, i lack a solid read on, and have made a selfnote to look over when i next am capable of posting.
regarding Middleman. At this venture, he is high-priority to handle, one way or another. he is also, however, at L-3, with little competition and lack of commentary after the stead accumulation of votes. thusly, i will do something perhaps slightly unorthodox.
##VOTE: Middleman
##UNVOTE: Middleman
reasoning? i am content with a Middleman lynch as things stand, but votes have the power to provoke discussion and denote suspicions. doing as such, I hope to make clear for future reference in votecounts that i am in support of the case as it stands, and will indeed fulfill the promise herein enacted - that of willingness to lynch Middleman - if no other data streams prove profitable. instead, i would rather use my vote's full power to further the course of data flow and provide more for analysis, present and future.
Flay simply feels like he is jumping onto the bandwagon, but there is little more to say on the Middleman case without further posts from him - thus, a lack of commentary there is somewhat forgivable. the fact that this is the second time, however - his jump on Kirk being the first - worries me highly. Rabbithazel concerns me for doing much the same, but with more words behind it. for now, Flay's sins are laid upon him by Batmanuel and Hilda. as Flay and Rabbithazel sit equally poorly to me right now, i shall cover the ground less traveled, so to speak, and place my weight behind the other.
##VOTE: Hazel
i will return at least once between now and the hour of judgment, and will likely be around to witness the hour itself as well. for now, however, i've Metaverse to code. i would like to see more of Hazel, Hilda, Flay, Middleman, and... oh geez, there are others to be certain, but those are the freshest in my memory.
