Within 13 minutes 5 people voted for niichan and made a huge bandwagon.
6x naruto-niichan (Tom/wizzard, Katarina/Hardy, Muratcan/Kat, Leonardo/Imperium, Felipe/Farfalla, Mariana-2/Spectrum) per 8.32pm my time.
Later on Kat changed her vote to xi0. That leaves Hardy, Imp, Farfalla and Spec as remaining "bandwagoners".
Imp basically said nana was the safer bet, then says "we can vote niichan to annoy him". When 3 people suddenly do it within no time at all he jumps on an easy bandwagon. That's what it looks like. I'm very suspicious of these 5 last players that voted for niichan. Kat's change doesn't really help as she helped contribute to an easy bandwagon. I'm not yet sure what to think about her "omg what should I do om gom g omg omg posts" and vote change. Maybe it reduces suspicion on her a little.
Lurking is such a cheap argument, but an argument nonetheless. Basically people that are in fact busy are punished for not turning on 'invisible mode'. None of you would see niichan if he had it on except global+admin level. People getting blamed for trying to be up to date from the phone etc... It's different when you have a guy lurking that is actively posting elsewhere on MH, or you know he/she's not busy. Take notes people.
I suspected niichan myself, but when he gave his reasons for being MIA I found it enough to remove my incentive to vote kill him. Like I said in my post had he not been MIA from the rest of MH but neglected this thread, he would have been a high priority target for lynch IMO, but he was MIA from MH entirely. Anyway pointless now since he's dead and we lost one of the most overpowered late-game townie roles, but people really should think twice before they judge too harshly for lurking, inactiveness etc, which is my general point about this post.
