And I would like to hear from everyone what conclusions they have or haven't drawn, and I think we should go ahead and pick up the pace, I've never noticed a strong correlation to either town or scum gaining an advantage by moving more rapidly, and with final exams mostly over [I assume] we have some time before any obvious holidays or similar should get in our way.

Currently we have 3 people nominally on the table, Fox, Beet, and DK. I do not feel the evidence on any of them is 'strong' though I'd say my lynch preference right now runs Fox, DK, then Beet in that order, and I read the group temperature on any of these to be rather lukewarm, so our options are either to reveal more information about ourselves or to pursue one or all three of the aforementioned players. I also don't think at this point anyone outside those three had done much that could reasonably be considered evidence supporting a prob-town status, so with that in mind, I present the following options and ask everyone to express their preference:

Option A: We engage in another general series of questions, the exact form to be decided should this option be selected.

Option B: We demand a Roleclaim from Beet, DK, and/or Fox. If you select option B, please list the name(s) of the players you want to RC, and if their are more votes for B then A then the player who's name appeared the most will RC first, and unless there is a tie or a near tie (Say X gets 6 and Y 5 and Z gets 2) we will wait a day or so before deciding if we want to go the next highest for a RC

Option C: Other - as always if you don't like the options you should not only explain clearly why but have something else to throw on the table too.

So as an example someone picking option B might post, preferable in the title B: DK and Fox or B: All or simply B: Beet and whichever of the three options gets the most votes we'll go with, once all the votes have come in or enough that inactive players aren't likely to have an effect. Assuming for the moment that B was selected, and the votes tallied up as something fairly clear like:

Player X: 7
Player Y: 4
Player Z: 1

We could safely demand X claim and leave off any demands on Z at all, and have Y RC only if it was felt X's RC didn't really decide things much after a day or two of conversation. On the other hand if we get something like:

Player X: 7
Player Y: 6
Player Z: 1

We could ignore Z and have X and Y both RC, maybe expecting X to go first, if X got say 6 and Y and Z both tied at 4, X would go first and we'd have Y and Z RC only if there seemed at that point a consensus they should. No point, I think we'd all agree, having them all RC if it can reasonably be avoided, since there's no realistic chance all 3 are scum and probably about as goods odds that none of them are as there is that two of them are. Should we proceed with Option B, which is incidentally my own selection, I suggest we view RC as including a reasonable paraphrase of actual role message, not just "I'm an X", I suspect Kronin did have a general system of flavor connecting how or why someone is roled and we may be able to spot someone via a paraphrase of their message, all three under the microscope are experienced players, so I think we can expect them to produce good paraphrases that don't violate either the letter or spirit of the rules on this and to use common sense.

So, that's my idea for the moment, in the interest of avoiding accusations of bias or ulterior motives my selection for B will be decided randomly, 1- Beet, 2 DK, 3 Fox, 4 Beet & DK, 5 Beet& Fox, 6 Fox & DK, 7-0 All representing roughly equal odds of 1, 2, or all 3 revealing and equal odds of any given combination revealing, to be decided by the timestamp of this message's seconds digit [for instance Scott's message above mine, at 1:41:53 PM EST would be selection 3, Fox ], I'd rather people not select randomly but it is preferable to casually using "All" as its not really optimally in our interest to have all 3 RC, if you do do that, please state your intent to do so as I did and I'll just lift your pick off your messages timestamp. Finally, Nobody should RC unless and until option B is clearly selected, you certainly can, but shouldn't feel any obligation to do so. In event of a tie between two options, and only a tie, I suggest we let whoever has voted for the third recast their vote for one of the two leading options, otherwise I think it's a one-shot deal, please don't hedge, if you can't decide for instance whether you want DK to claim or DK and Fox, flip a coin or set up some random table like I did but set to your preferences. Just clearly, and preferable in your title, list an option and only one option. My assumption is either A or B will dominate selection and do so in an obvious fashion that lets us avoid waiting on one or two RBIRL players but should it be a neck and neck thing we can either wait it out or flip a proverbial coin.
