Y...yes

You don't read my posts, do you?

I am voting the worst in the hopes that my vote will cause him to post more. I think meg will not post more either way. This isn't rocket science

Will think, not does think.
Its done without Mastina's knowledge or input, which yeah that's why I'm not considering Yume for today, its bought time. Absolutely putting her under scrutiny though still.

I like voting beyond just trying to eliminate someone, I kinda view that as essential to the atmosphere of play here.

Ok but your 'pressure' could literally make someone exit the game.

No.

No money can buy, no power can still
No burden can break the unshakeable strength of my will

Mah best game

am back here but sick, likely covid (father pasted positive today, was bad enough he literally needed to go to the hospital), and literally just--need to sleepl.

I know there is stuff to respond to.

I'll say I approve of the challenge, only regret is it wasn't me making it, but yaknow, am sick, so like., Can't pull the trigger, so Yume doing it was the right think to do.

VOTE: MegAzumarill

We stick to thiss. I realize I will need to show my townness (it ain't there yet I can tell you that much), and maybe explain why Meg > wostie as a vote here, but like, I don't think I need to say why Yume is town.

(consider me VOTE: v/la for aboyt 7-10 days[/b] I guess? Technically covid should be just 5 per the cdc but we all know it's actually longer than that so...need the time. Also will be at work back aagain monday in spite of the sickness due to the shit cdc so like, can;'t be here necessarily then.

I knwo I need to play but I am .not. nin. the. shape. to do so right now.

Yume is town, she did announce she was going to do the challenge in the pt a whilke back, and she's incredibly town and is never scum here so with me knowing I am town the options are worstie/NMeg and I prefer Meg in that pair becasue I just don;t think that worstie is the scumier of the two.

Also idk why but in spite of only 2 am, am like this, maybe sickness>L
Cane;t stay tho. Because sleepz eneded.)
