I mean... aren't we still waiting on this answer and PP to claim?

I see no reason to assume ofrhz won't answer in a timely manner.
After which I'm cool with just lynching PP if he doesn't show up. I assume Pine's claim is real, because it makes too much sense for it not to be.

Or rather, ideally, lynching Pine and having ofhrz governate it onto PP.

I can only stop a lynch, not redirect it onto someone else. Day would end in a no lynch.
I also cannot self target.

I don't see why we would need to test my role if you believe Pine's. Ours are so similar:

Hi.
Okay, here's the deal. Last week was really difficult for me.
Spoiler: Emotional Health
I was not in a good place. My depression is usually pretty low-key, and well controlled with low-dose medication. I still have a bad day or two every month, and once or twice a year I have a bad week. Last week was that week. I've had a long conversation with my doctor, and while we've been avoiding it for a while. we've upped my dosage, hoping to whittle away at the off-times. I'm fine now. Quality time with family and reading several escapist novels and playing some mindless RPGs helped a lot. Don't worry, I'm never a danger to myself or others.
Apathy and ennui is a major feature of my bad times. I was barely keeping my head above water elsewhere around here, and completely failing to do so in a 100+ page thread.
I apologize for my absence. I probably should have replaced immediately, when the slot was still viable, rather than waiting until my unexplained absence had dug it into a hole no one wanted to take.
I kept this game bookmarked, but haven't really checked it in a week. On a whim I looked today to see who'd replaced me, and I found that no one had. That isn't fair to the Town, so I talked to xyzzy, and they're having a hard time finding someone who wants to read 125 pages with a disadvantaged slot. I'm going to give it another attempt, and I'll actually try this time.
Honestly, this post is what really got me to care enough to bother to contact xyzzy.
I don't do this as scum. Ever. Not once in my 7 years on site. It isn't how I operate. If I think something's lost, I try harder rather than giving up. Sometimes it works.
Here's an example of how I approach an "oh I'm fucked" scum slot. I replaced into this a few weeks ago by request, and went out in a blaze of glory. To see "scum gave up" attached to me is actually kind of offensive.

didn't mean to imply tactical replace out so if that's what you read into my post i apologize.
who do you think the scum are?

I did think you meant tactical replace-out, so rancor rescinded.
I have no idea. I barely skimmed the early game, don't remember much, and haven't read at all since at least dawn of D1. I thought I saw something about Mastina having an investigation of some kind?

I'm just engaging my replacement strategy at this point. I don't really know what's going on, and early D1 reads are usually obsolete by late D2 anyway.

so it turns out I thought I'd changed my ruleset to accommodate replacements being able to be undone, but I apparently never did that, which makes Pine continuing with his slot potentially in violation of that part of the site rules. I'm locking the thread until I hear back from a list mod re: the best way to handle the situation now. (technically I've already heard from a list mod, but PenguinPower is the one who brought this to my attention, and he's also in the game.)
edit: no action is needed beyond a slight change in my rules. carry on!

Congratulations!!! <3
Thanks! Perhaps it is because I am a cool kid. Jingle has designated me as such.
I scumread PenguinPower independently of RC's setup speculation but Titus didn't get it. I don't know if Tammy will get in deep enough to develop an opinion.
