lennie:(

I like how Poirot thinks that Rust is "a weak player ... who refuses to actually push for what 'e most wants to 'ave 'appen." But, he actually got exactly what he wanted.

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Poirot seemed to be brilliantly positioned at one point as a threat that no one at all was targeting but the last few rounds he’s just seemed powerless, and the only one who really wants him at the end is Judy, who believes she will beat him. I think Rust has taken his place now, having better odds both in terms of getting to the end and in picking up votes once there.

[Joss Carter]

EDIT: Hold up, checking something.

[Joss Carter]

Jake: Oh holy shit, that’s a brutal challenge. The item search is so straightforward I found half of them without the key in less than a minute. This is going to be a blistering time trial.

Players: *one of them misses the nail and the ladder*

Players: *two of them misidentify the nail*

Players: *one of them takes over ten minutes*

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Is the nail ambiguous?

[Joss Carter]

I don't believe so, based on the markings.

I'll certainly take a second opinion, though.

[Joss Carter]

The first player I mentioned didn't identify either of the possibilites; he just only circled 17 items period.

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Oh, so it is in the birdcage. Just looking at what different people circled, I wasn't sure which it was, birdcage or tree, but comparing it with the key I agree you can tell.

[Tachikoma]

i'm missing lucifer's (i didn't listen to his most recent audio bit yet) and leon's perspectives on this, but it certainly *looks* like we're headed towards a Rust win barring an inconvenient F4 immunity.

20 more hours for poirot, penelope or judy to realize this, if so. poirot and penelope both seem to be on very much the opposite of this page.

[Nick Wilde]

When did Rust become everyone's best friend? He's clearly playing a fantastic game here that kinda feels like it came out of nowhere.

But, I'm very here for it. Especially since I called Rust being the biggest threat right at the start of the game

[Alexandra Cabot]

it's a bit epic! even if it doesn't feel like an epic struggle

as a slight side note i hope judy is okay given rl stuff. it's Rough out there

[Scully and Hitchcock]

Leon flipped from voting Penelope to Judy.  That might be it for Judy here, as she's now presumably alone with Poirot in voting against Penelope.

If so, F5 will be
Penelope
Poirot
Rust
Leon
Lucifer

Penelope is probably in the most danger there.

[Kate Macer]

I am happy to see Penelope, Rust, and Poirot all still around at this late stage of the game.
