I believe in at least some bandwagoning. I'm not willing to go after ranagrande myself, since he was the first to back my question on these no-voters. (But: willing to switch if it brings us forward.) This leaves the other three for now, and even though I agree the case against Taiga is thin, I've got a 1 out of 3 (maybe 2 out of 3) chance of hitting a liar, so any slice of extra evidence helps.
But you are correct FT: it seems strange that I don't believe in a game designed to be stalled, even though it does stall. My hypothesis (backed by the end of the message of the deadline) is that it was an unexpected consequence of the game setup: many players don't feel confident with the whole RPS and Morale system and, combined with much flavor clouding the scum faction, prefer to wait to see what happens.
