Suddenly, there is a frantic scribbling noise, and when you look back at the lead tablet, the text has changed!

I am assuming the corrections are correct up to the post and not including the two votes afterwards just to be mean? :)

Guys - why is this more important than seeing if we can find scum?

Unvote. Nirur Torir, why do you think voting yourself will help solve the puzzle?

It might! It just might. Maybe? Or not. Well, it's worth a try.

You bring up an excellent point, unless you are scum that already knows the rules.

Hmm ... Actually, Zai, how did you interpret my statement as me saying that my death would reveal a rule?

If I were scum that already knew the rules, I'd try to distract everyone by sending them on a wild goose chase to find them.

Isn't that right, Nirur Torir?

Rysith has appeared to confuse Toonyman with me.  Unless there's someone else here.  *shrugs*

And the vote deltas are:
Vector -1
Apostolic Nihilist -1
Toonyman 0
Redwarrior0 +2
LASD -1
Leafsnail [0, +1]
Nirur Torir +1
Alsark [-1, 0]
Glyphgryph 0
Halmie 0

You know what deltas are, right?  It has to do with differences.

X2 - X1/Y2 - Y1 and stuff.

So...

Leafsnail has 1 vote on him and Alsark has 1 vote on him from this quote I'm doing.

It's exactly like saying 1.  Don't get all confused about it now.

Guys - why is this more important than seeing if we can find scum?

And how exactly did you expect to do anything once you found scum?

You know what deltas are, right?  It has to do with differences.

Yes...

Suddenly, there is a frantic scribbling noise, and when you look back at the lead tablet, the text has changed!

So yes the deltas I posted where based on the previous set of numbers...

Vote them? when we already know the people we vote for aren't getting votes against them?

Yes so you pretty much guaranty you won't actually lynch the scum that way... good call there... you sure your town?

Right now scum could claim and there is _nothing_ we can do about it.

UnvoteShades, it may just be a bastardized votecount.  Why are you so determined to kill any efforts to find scum?

Shades, I understand you think the puzzle is important, and honestly I suspect Leafsnail for dismissing it out of hand so casually, but...

Most of our votes our working. If we can find scum, we can figure it out then. Whatever wackiness is occuring with the votes may not be protecting scum at all if it's role-based as I suspect, and a number of votes at least are going to where they need to.

I think figuring out what is going on is important, but not as important as finding scum. We can do both at the same time, you know.

Zai, Alsark, get in here. Remember to answer my questions, too!

I guess I should test out my vote to see if there is anything weird regarding it. I'll try voting for somebody who doesn't have a vote on them just to see if anything funny happens. For now, that vote will be LASD.

LASD has a vote on them, and was just voted for by Pandarsenic for that very reason. So well done for not actually reading what people have posted before you over-react to a day one randomness and also making it yet harder to work out what is going on.

Also well done for making me think your scum, I would vote for you but I'm not changing that till I know have the slightest idea what is going on.

Sorry, it was like 6:30 AM and I had pulled an all-nighter after doing homework all night. I didn't even see Pandarsenic's vote. I don't see how me also voting for LASD made things harder, though. Care to explain?

I guess I should feel proud. At least explain why you think that?

____________________________________________________________________

@Glyff: Sadly, there is nothing in my role at all that would explain why the votes on me are being wonky. You will note that LeafSnail also has the same odd formatting to his votes. Therefore, I don't think it's likely that it's just me, or just certain other people. I have no idea what it means. I'm curious myself if certain people show up on the left bracket and if certain people show up on the right bracket. Let's see here...

Unvote: LASD, Vote: LeafSnail
