Both of those things are true. :/
I'm just going to go with thinktank. Like has been said already, he's unwilling to display his suspicions. I really want an end to this day. And he's lurking, so if he is town, we aren't really losing much in terms of towniness.
Vote: thinktank

That word again.
I guess you could say it's boring.
Well, I don't exactly know if putting a second day up would help much...

If you don't like macs, tough luck.

MOD: I would love to have prods to C5 and thinktank.

lifeofpie wrote:How about C5 instead?

I agree. Why are you (ShadowLurker, RandomGem, Artem) after thinktank and not C5? Just to point out, that if we lynch thinktank we would get a new replacement on the next day for C5 'cause his last post was 16 of September. One month ago! So if you are looking for moving game on, by lynching thinktank and not C5 you are only hampering this game.

And note to everybody: I don't like a bit that thinktank is lurking and would love to see his explanation. I'm just wondering why thinktank and not C5?

Well, with that, I will vote
Vote: Chapter5

No offense to the mod, as it isn't his fault, but this game is going rather slowly.
I think another replacement will simply slow things down.
If C5 comes back, I will reconsider.

I just went with thinktank because I think he is more suspicious than chapter 5 was. But this is probably because chapter 5 has barely posted.

I know this is a double standard, but I got suspicious of lifeofpie when he tried to divert the lurker bandwagon away from thinktank to chapter 5. (This because I don't find Petunho suspicious for the same thing...) Meh, just inuition and all that.

I guess I'm ok with either lynch.

I'm voting thinktank not to get rid of a lurker, but because the way he is playing makes me think he's quite likely to be scum.

I realise my vote now puts him at L-1, and if anyone actually is thinking of hammering, I would also like for thinktank to have an opportunity to explain himself first; but going by his previous "explanations", my hopes are not high.

It's because Petunho has provided reasons for finding chapter 5 more suspicious (post 332) whereas lifeofpie just doesn't want to lynch thinktank. And I disagree that replacing chapter 5 would slow things down more. If we can get a replacement who contributes to the game, that will be very helpful. On the other hand, thinktank is still posting, so he won't be replaced, but his posts have been very deliberate in lacking any sort of useful content by which to judge him. I think this slows the game down more.

For instance, his last post was a promise to post his thoughts "soon". Two weeks have gone by, and we are still waiting.

Clarification edit: I disagree
with lifeofpie
that replacing chapter 5 would slow things down more.

I also disagree with lifeofpie that thinktank has contributed halfway decently. chapter 5 at least went out on a limb and gave some thoughts, tried to pick out evidence against people. I can imagine playing like chapter 5 myself. On the other hand, thinktank hasn't voted once since the random stage. He has barely posted anything to say what he thinks of other players, and when he has, doesn't provide any evidence or reasons.
All of this to me reeks of scum keeping their hands clean, trying to get through day 1 without hassle, and not committing to anything that could provide a read on them or evidence in the future; keeping his options open for later on.

I'd also like to know two things:
Artem: not that I mind, but why you are voting thinktank rather than chapter 5, in light of your post 325
thegeckoj: given that your main concern seems to be a quicklynch, are you now thinking about voting for thinktank or chapter 5? If so, which one? Note, it would be prudent not to hammer thinktank without giving him a chance to respond to his prod. However, I would still like for you to post your thoughts.

honestly yes, i am thinking of voting thinktank just to end the days even though i am still convinced of petunho's scumminess. i will not hammer before he has a chance to speak up though, it is only respectful to do so.

This is getting way too slow, and my main worry is that a replacement will not help to speed things up much.
Think, I want to hear SOMETHING that shows you give a damn (or maybe C5 posting something scummy). by tomorrow or I think I will be in the mood to hammer.

If you don't like macs, tough luck.

I think RandomGem was referring to the bit that he emboldened.

But what both of you say confuses me. You want chapter 5 to post something scummy, so that you can vote him. If he hasn't already posted something scummy, then why do you want to vote him?

Judging from Post 405's votecount, then Fenchurch's, then yours...
Yup, I'm pretty sure it's a lynch.
Sorry for being like thegeckoj, but HOORAY OH MY GOD THIS DAY IS FINALLY (almost) OVER!

Wow. Well it's not out of the blue, but I wasn't expecting the lynch quite so soon. So it goes.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for NabNab to post the cardflip!

Coin flip I would say... No real reasons behind those votes, only hopes of getting into next day and the info what we get from this lynch is quite minimal. Yep, let's hope thinktank was a scum.
