Off the top of my head, I’m not the biggest fan. We have 0 chance of banning the Oiler that way, and we don’t get a card flip so we could basically be running in circles tomorrow. Our goal is to ban the Oilers, doesn’t matter if we’re the ones alive at the end or not. Win as a team dead or alive.

These are all of HG's posts at the deadline when the panic was happening. Two of the four have no substance. The other other two are logically sound, but offered no help with actual voting. Everything said about his thoughts on a tie are not wrong - but the issue I take is these are more just factual posts without actually giving any opinions. Everyone else was talking about their votes and potential movement on them, but HG offered no insight to his opinion.
I see today he has now stated that he didn't move because he thought DropIt was the last Oiler. Why not say that at the time? He also states that he didn't want to move his vote because DropIt wasn't going to allow a tie - again, why not say that at the time. It's easy to go back and give reasoning for actions now when there was time to process it and make sure he's saying the right thing.
The whole takeaway I have from the panic before the deadline is this:
Scorn/Devo - No comment as they were not there
Mrkajz/Pux/Winnipeg/DropIt - All of us were making more emotional posts trying to figure out exactly what to do, if a tie was good, why we did or didn't want to vote for certain people. We didn't have to take a long time to think about what we posted, we just wanted our ideas out there
HG - His posts were very deliberate and without haste. He wanted to make sure he was saying the right thing. I believe this is because as an Oiler, he knows everything about all the players and didn't want to slip up with some of his insider information by making a quick post or two. Go back and read his posts compared to everyone else - it just reads different.
