Fair enough, but I don't think we can completely fall on the side of inattention as its defense. It was a curious (lack of a) move, and should be noted as one.

Since you're here, explain.

Sure.

At the time of my vote for OutlawAuron (4), RCTJunkie (5) was in the lead to be lynched, with Cone third in voting (3). Nicklesbe and NoName then switched their votes from RCT to Outlaw (Outlaw 6, RCT 3, Cone 3). This in effect put Outlaw in the lead, but now Cone and RCT were tied for second.

Then Padib changed his vote from RCT to Sparks (Outlaw 6, Cone 3, RCT 2, Sparks 1), putting Cone in second for a lynch. Knowing what we know about ConeGamer and a potential cascade lynch (as all we have is Padib's word), Prof pleaded for people to put RCT back in second. He unvoted RCT and voted for Outlaw without bolding. (Outlaw 5, Cone 3, RCT 3, Sparks 1)***

Hylian instead changes his vote from RCT to Sparks (Outlaw 5, Cone 3, Sparks 2, RCT 2). Prof once again fears for Cone. Twice even.

***At this point I did not see Prof's vote, and based off the vote totals I thought were in effect (Outlaw 6, Cone 3, Sparks 2, RCT 1) I made the call to change my vote from Outlaw to Sparks (Oulaw 5, Cone 3, Sparks 3, RCT 1) to ensure a tie with ConeGamer. In case of a cascading lynch, there would be no lynch due to a tie. I even asked if that constituted as a safety net for Cone. Again I asked if that would be enough for Cone's protection (no one ever answered me during the ensuing chaos).

Either way, whether it was a tie with you or a tie with RCT, Cone would have survived in case of an unforseen cascading lynch. That's why I voted for you.
