Not really, more like random voting stage post position. Xayzeck voted Pine and was the third vote on the wagon in Post 14. What was Xayzeck's purpose here? Was it a pressure vote? If so, it kind of sucks since the wagon's built on pillars on sand and likely to crumble anyway, not giving much pressure. There's a few explanations, but I think one is slightly more likely than the others. The style of Xayzeck's post imitates the style of xRECKONERx's Post 12 and Huntress' Post 11: short vote posts without reason. He made the post to blend in.

I want to make googly eyes at you while I fawn over your wonderful case.
I thought this game was called "Less Pressure."
I call false advertising.

Captain Kirk sensuously rubbed Hank's shoulders as he kissed Hank's neck and tasted the salty sweat of his leathery skin. Kirk's breath quickened as he tightened his embrace and ran his fingers through Hank's short, fine brown hair. His lips could feel Hank's pulse: blood pulsating through his carotid, his pulse getting faster and faster. The hairs on the back of Hanks neck prickled in excitement, but he was conflicted by his response to Kirk's advances. He'd never been with another man, but he was strangely excited. He stood motionless as Kirk gently nibbled his ear and slowly unbuttoned Hank's blue shirt...
Her entire ISO is various shades of questionable to me. I'll explain why when I'm not trying to get a migraine. Probably tomorrow afternoon at this point.
Because I operate selfishly when I play mafia and it's much easier for me to glean reads off of people attacking me than off of people attacking other people, and nobody's going to attack me if I'm IC.
A likely story... I bet you just don't want scum to kill you with their vengekill.
Why do you throw me under the bus like this, Reck?
Nope, no Guyett or ika. You don't gotta worry about quickhammers.
But seriously, why are you so interested in putting him at L-1 if you're afraid of scum quickhammering. Do you think scum is gonna quickhammer other scum? Do you think it's against our interests to trade 1 for 1 with scum?
Hell, I'd be rather excited if scum quickhammered.
I'm surprised to hear something like this come from you, Jingle, because I know this is the kind of stuff you think about.
Due to the nature of the set-up, scum need to mislynch two VTs to win. With the scum vengekill in play, it doesn't necessarily matter how you get those mislynches and there's room to lose someone without needing to get more. Taking a 1 IC and 1 VT trade for 1 scum wouldn't be a bad strategic move.
While crudely expressed, I agree with the sentiment, Jingley. The Huntress case sucks. It holds her to this oddly high standard and the things I quoted in ISO look fairly innocuous to me. Having a kind of clunky and disjointed ISO would seem to me to come with the condition of not knowing what you're doing, which I actually associate more with town.

I think it's likely that ++-- is a patsy. There is an awkwardness about him, but I think it's more likely a result of being new than a result of being scum. This is supported by his fairly recent join date and his unfamiliarity with how the game is played on this site (Post 112). Looking at his ISO, it doesn't look like he starts conforming to the flow of the game, either. That's wouldn't seem characteristic of a man who has access to a PT with people familiar with the site meta. It's also unsettling that four out of six non-ICs were scum reading him and were either voting or expressed willingness to vote him. Add in my town read on Pine and this wagon is poison. I won't support it.
Probably not as disappointed as I am. I was under the impression you would be pushing cases on your suspects:

I have yet to see anything resembling a ++-- case.
All the stuff about following the ICs is a bunch of lip service. The ++-- wagon wasn't endorsed by either of us, but you wanted it at L-1. Xayzeck, the wagon we're
both
voting, gets the same meh-meh-pooh-pooh treatment from you as everyone else.

In post 170, Jingle wrote:Dry-Fit- Pine has a point. In addition, he's very self aware with regard to wagon positioning. And 47 sounds a lot like he's trying to defend himself if Xay flips town. I can support this lynch.
Huntress- I'm not a fan of her explanation on why she switched to dry fit, and I don't see an attempt from her to read much of anyone. Her only interaction with Pine (aside from her RVS wagonvote) is to call him scum for not interacting with anyone. I can support this lynch.
Xayzeck- I remember thinking gut town from our back and forth, but I just read his ISO and I'm not really a fan of the fact that he didn't really explain his reads to my satisfaction. Xay, talk to me about +. Talk to me about Pine. Talk to me about Dry-Fit. How have these reads evolved. What are you thinking. What about me? What do you think about me. I might be able to get behind this lynch. We'll see.
Pine- He reads as confident in his Dry-Fit push. This is probably my strongest townread.
++-- It kinda feels like he's trying to convince me to vote him. Normally, I'd feel like this is a "low hanging fruit" situation after TTH's comment, but with him having a 60% chance of being scum... Well. I could get behind this lynch.
When I saw this Jingle post I was really happy.
Then I actually read the post and I was sad.
It was like biting into what you think is a chocolate chip muffin only to find out it's blueberry. >:(

That may or may not be.
Huntress has been just a bit too wagon happy for my liking, though, and the origins of the Xayzeck vote are a little iffy. Making a generalized statement "Someone is being bussed" is hardly conclusive proof that Xayzeck is bussing Pine and "gut feeling" isn't exactly doing it for me.

I'm waiting on Huntress to give me a reason why she is where she is right now because from my point of view, it looks rather strained. She has a habit of showing up whenever popular wagons arise, as in the ++-- one yesterday, but I thought there were reasonable alternatives. The reasonable doubt starts to shrink when her reasons for voting Xayzeck are examined.

Someone, please give me a spectacular motivational speech. I promise I'll go find some stirring orchestral music to play in the background while I read it.
