What a sadly apathetic lynch. I'm going to reread probably most of the thread later today, but what I'm going to say is simple: Erg0 placed the first vote on a mafia in LYLO. No scum would ever, ever, EVER!!! do this. And before I even hear WIFM, consider: what does the scum gain by this tactic, and what does a townie gain?
Scum gains distancing, that is, Erg0 looks like a saint for rooting out the scum, and can coast through the next days lynch.
What does scum lose? Ah, the game, that's all. Because no one had voted for dihill (even though it was looking likely), Erg0 could have picked any of the 3 townies, on whatever case, and had the second vote of his scum buddy to boost him up.
That's the dumbest reward for a gambit ever. Scum gains nothing. Erg0 was likely to coast through anyway, because there wasn't a lot of consideration on him, and it just drags LYLO through another day, to no benifit of town.

. This is blatant distancing without taking the logical step of lynching.
I bolded that because it's pretty much the most important thing I've posted so far, and I would very much like Erg0 to read it. I am not going to vote EvilGorrillaz, because for all I know, my font settings are making me miss the part where he claimed town-aligned-bus-driver-inventor, or something.
Now I'm gonna go do some other, non-mafia things, and when I come back, I'll make a defense of what my 2 predecessors have said. [teaser: I'm town]. And by come back, I mean maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow after work.
