[Timbo]

1) Lynch Girly - she might be turned (some people believe this more than others). The spore stops for one day and day 3 is spent looking to lynch scum as there is no spore. Day three would start with zero turned and either 2 or 3 hosts, depending on if Girly is scum

2) Lynch Other - Gov't agent investigates Girly and kills if turned. The spore does not stop and becomes lost for at least a day. Day 3 is spent looking to lynch scum as spore location is unknown. Day three would start with potentially one turned (from the passed spore) and either 2 or 3 hosts, depending on the lynch

Both sides of the argument have good merit. Stopping the spore for a day is obviously good, but then the hosts have it back and get to choose where it goes. Letting the agent take care of Girly while someone else is lynched is likely more effective, if you think Girly did in fact turn when given the spore.

To be honest, I'm torn between the two strategies. I guess it also depends on how strong you feel about "other" in scenario two. If you don't have a good feeling on who other might be, then Girly is the obvious choice to lynch. Based on voting for now, I suppose "other" is Timbo at this point. As I pointed out at the start of the day, I didn't like Timbo's vote reason or timing on Active, so I might be leaning that way for now and just let the agent investigate Girly, and kill if turned.

This doesn't really factor in Girly's plea to the town to let us decide were the spore goes, so long as she is not lynched. Which is another important factor to consider.

I'll have to mull this over a bit more and re-read the spore reveal part to try and get a better read on the discussion.

And yet another superb post that contains nothing definitive but has the classic deflection of "I need to mull this over a bit more".
