episode iv update

[Chance]

so i'm wondering if having claude around might not be a good thing. he is, after all, a free activation of my power every round. if i start looking too innocent, how am i going to get votes? if you vote for me and then refuse to explain why, that's going to look really fishy really fast. thoughts?

[Gertrude]

I assume you mean it might not be a bad thing. If so, I've been arguing for you to get off of his ass for a while, dearie. However, I don't think you're going to start looking too innocent unless we are forced to claim. This is a more pressing topic. There's a *chance* (gigglesnort) that you might be nominated for Exile, and I don't think it's too unlikely. So we should probably be discussing what to do in that situation. What, if anything to tell Owen. We might even want to consider claiming before nominations, so it doesn't look like a desperate attempt to save you, but I dunno.

[Chance]

i was thinking about asking you that, actually. i think we should claim mason first, and not necessarily our roles.

[Gertrude]

I'll be on AIM shortly to discuss this further, if you're there.

[Chance]

i wasn't. sorry. but i'll be on today.

[Chance]

i'm worried. reading the most recent group chat, i'm apparently one two choices that owen's fine with exiling. i'll go find the quote and edit it in in a second, but... yeah. considering i haven't even spoken to owen beyond answering his questions by pm, and that there IS NO CASE on me, i'm kind of annoyed.

edit - here it is.

spies8owen (23:38:41): Also, regarding Claude being selfish. It is selfish, and I'd prefer that it not be used on me this round. At the same time, he's giving me 2 options that are at the top of my list.\

claude's options at this point were me, isaac, and possibly jenny.

[Gertrude]

That's surprisingly not you. Jenny is his top suspect, and Isaac is up there too. I'll be on AIM within seconds.
