I counted 96.
I counted the times they used words for numbers. But didn't count naked votes or post that were just filled with numbers.

Aren't I scum? It's not an issue for me at all from that angle.

Also by their last post of the day I assume they felt that FIN was word 100. So that would indicate numbers, including the number strings, counted.

Numbers count.

We were keeping track but it's possible we made an off-by-one error at some point. If we counted correctly, we hit 100 words exactly.

Why were they best? All he did was naked say I am scum.

I am an easy target to hop on to

“Math is scum”

“Why?”

Because Corwin

“Why?”

Because they were inactive

They had RL

Like that’s it

If you’re going to suggest me, come at me

Otherwise let me focus my limited spoons on scumhunting

To be fair Mathblade is in fact incapable of hunting when pushed.
I think they just get stuck defending themselves and can't do both.

We talked back and forth where we could

Overnight admittedly was pretty quiet because covid as I thought someone had said they were going to shoot me so I left last reads for DNA if I died.

Mostly guanine by eyeballing it

Too lazy to do an actual count

I don’t remember which head is which I probably could look up a slip and find it but spoons

I think DNA is town and fail to see this as productive
