It will go entirely undiscussed and ignored, I know, but I felt I should at least cast a vote for posterity.

You know, I wish you wouldn't keep inflating the value of the fifteen or so posts you've made. Of the posts you've made before my vote on you, I could find only one that could be seen as 'preemptive' or 'taking the initiative'. Virtually every other post is either flavor-posting or agreeing with someone else.

To clarify: agreeing with another statement is fine. Healthy, even. But almost all of your posts have been of that nature, so please don't say you make your posts before it becomes popular opinion, because it really hasn't according to my post analysis.

...

Despite this, I am a little uneasy with the reasons both Velvet and Raven have given. Velvet seems very adamant about your guilt, but gives no evidence. I am dubious, to say the least. I could surmise - perhaps - that Velvet is either a tracker or watcher, and saw you perform an action on Eizen during the night. That's what I'm guessing, though I admit some discomfort.

As for Raven, the man is as slippery as you. His vote post on you Jade is kinda hard to read and gives nothing away.

I also hate the sensation that I'm being taken advantage of. I vote Jade, then suddenly two people with barely comprehensible reasons vote Jade also? Ehhhhhh. I hate a lack of clarity. Non-traitors should do their best to lay out exactly who they are voting for, and for what reason, unless they have such an important power role that some degree of anonymity needs to be afforded, but even so.

On the smaller topic of the Miller, I do find it interesting that there has been no counter-claim against Raven's Miller claim. We know there is a Miller in play, so it isn't as if he could safely fake-claim that.

I will directly ask then:

- Velvet, what is your reason for being 100% certain that Jade is a traitor?

- Raven, what is your reason for being 80% certain that Jade is a traitor?

Lastly,

- Anise, you've been very quiet so far today. Please speak up.
