After hearing Replica's suggestion, it was pretty natural for everyone to turn to Hectic, to see if Hectic would like the idea of judging in this way. Every youngling turned their head to where Hectic was standing before, but found nothing!
They naturally guessed, as was so often the case, that Hectic was hiding behind the feet or body of one of the monsters, making him less visible.
Everyone moved a bit to the left to show that they were not harboring a tiny incorrigible canine, but no one found anything. Except an empty snowdrake mask, rolling ominously around the ground. Was Hectic gone somewhere unsupervised? The possibility was potentially disastrous.
But at last, the turtleneck of Sujimichi's sweater burst once again with an overly excited puppy emerging from it. His face was covered with frost and icicles, making Sujimichi very uncomfortable when Hectic nuzzled and licked him. The poor lizard was forced to shiver. Hectic misinterpreted the shiver as some sort of positive response, and grew excited, jumping on his first and third legs and his second and fourth legs in alternation.
"YIP! YIP! YIP! YIP! YIP! YIP! YIP!"
Why, at all times, Hectic preferred Sujimichi, of all people, was mysterious to everyone, but it was such a surprise it was hard to remember what everyone had been talking about.
With eleven players alive, it takes six votes to make a decision. (expired on 2020-02-02 03:00:00)
@Replica: Interesting looking at how someone looks at my play. I think you think I’m more rigid than I am, but that’s ok. You have to start somewhere in the game, so if I see a classic scummy behavior I’m going to explore it. But of course they don’t always come from scum. I’ll 180 a read in a heartbeat and have been well known to do so. In fact I recently lost a LyLo because I flipped a bad read to a good one and the transition was too abrupt to be believable (I guess).
@alimdia: your v/la was over, but sure I acknowledge you deserve time to catch up. Doesn’t mean I can’t motivate that.
A ton of people already voted nacho AND his v/la didn’t end until 2/2

Otherwise Pine or Asriel.
Sparing Hectic probably works because if he's scum then we kinda deserve the loss
Think I pushed him first even though I never voted him. When did he V/LA again?

But likely I'll only be able to compose thoughts/catch up further, at Night. Since I gotta catch up some other games too.

So I'm going to bet that like, nobody actually is going to fulfill their promises of catching up before the deadline.
imo we should hammer and call it a day rather than wait until the 3/4 hour mark and hope people are on. Americans won't even wake up for like, another 5-6 hours so I'd rather those people vote ASAP and not put it off hoping they'll remember after lunch or while at work
I'll condense my replies to Replica in a single post as i really do not want to litter the thread anymore, but he's not going to have the last word on this

Fixed.

Why is anyone townreading this again? There are 2 people who have explicitly said they would speak before deadline, and at least 4 more people who are fine with spare-hammering the currently L-2 Sujimichi. Including me.
I’m not liking Farkran’s most recent contributions. I do think his theory is right about fighting being superior due to the risk of an incorrect spare. But this close to deadline, at this low level of consensus, sparing Sujimichi is the best move I think.
I also didn’t like Chara saying he’d spare Hectic over Sujimichi/Sherlock. Just, what?
Actually, before i go to bed (2 am), i have a question for you, amrun.
Since you gave up pushing for a fight resolution, i assume you are going to work with pre-flip associatives in this game. If i am scum, who am i partner with? If Chara is scum, who is it partner with?

Poke
This would be useful
Not really - i still hope to fight tomorrow.
I think Chara could be scum with Nacho, but probably not. Chemist/alimdia/you, any would work as buddies. I don’t scumread Chara though.
If you flipped scum, I would never shut up until alimdia was dead.

Yeah, i meant to say you gave up for today, so tomorrow will be pretty much a rehash of today with only NKA to marginally help. I don't really look forward to it.
Why is Almidia your best guess for my scumpartner?
@Amrun, idt i've ever talked to Farkran, or the person they replaced Asriel (other than 1 post). Asriel had no content and I was super busy when the professional replacements came in.

I still want to fight today but I can’t do it on my own. At least we are sparing someone who can’t be wrong.
As for you/alimdia, the way alimdia went out of their way to point out that line was lurking as much as Asriel.

Although this had happened before, this time alimdia was paying attention. And alimdia saw Hectic licking Sujimichi and covering him in slick, gooey salivia. Then alimdia saw Sujimichi even shiver! Shivering is a symptom of the flu, also it's a symptom of bronchitis, also it is a symptom of cancer. It can also indicate a case of being afflicted with left-handedness. Alimdia knew these things. It knew it knew all these things. It was surely from these germs Hectic was inflicting on poor Sujimichi. And Alimdia had a duty.
"DISINFECT!" alimdia shouted, before tensing its body and erupting hot, molten fluid onto Sujimichi's face. Hectic slipped off with merely a surprised whimper, but Sujimichi fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Yes it's exciting!" alimdia shouted jubilantly. Chemist1422 grabbed one of alimdia's legs before the second helping started, wincing an entire eye with sympathy for the lizard.
"What is going on here?" Toriel arrived on the scene, causing a wide range of responses: a pleading look from Sujimichi, some guilty looks from the monsters that felt like they could have stopped this somehow, and a beaming alimdia expecting to receive accolades from an adult any minute now.
"Sujimichi needs care. My word, that looks awful. There's no time to lecture alimdia, so please keep an eye on it for me. I'll be treating Sujimichi in the house, without need for disruption."
Toriel lifted Sujimichi into her arms, and began calling her husband's name as she walked into the house. Many of the monsters stood slackjawed at how quickly their plans had changed: they definitely didn't have Sujimichi as a stenographer anymore, but it didn't feel right to be playing a game right this second anyway.
The door to the home closed with a click.
without need for disruption
Among all the younglings in the neighborhood, Toriel's own children and otherwise, this seemed like the only time they had ever felt the least bit unwelcome in the Dreemurr home. How long would that last? Did she mean it mean it?
All the younglings felt uncomfortable, even alimdia, who felt very strongly about being a continuing part of Sujimichi's flu curing; how could Toriel do that by herself?
Sujimichi has been
spared

Some time later..
Asgore marched forth from the Dreemurr home, a look of intent and determination on his face.
The younglings hoped for good news about Sujimichi, but only for just a second. They soon realized there was an anger on Asgore's face. They'd never seen that scowl before.
As he drew closer, he made eye contact with one monster in particular, who slowly withdrew into his shell, even though he had no idea why Asgore was so angry.
"SherlockHolmes, someone told me what you've done. I've never been so disappointed in you. Why, you were always the one to figure out what others had done wrong and correct them. So imagine how I felt to hear about you scheming against your own friends."
Asgore lifted the shell into his arms, and shook his head in disappointment. The turtle's yellow eyes glinted within the darkness of his shell, showing his own bewilderment to all the other younglings.
"I'm taking you home to your parents, and I will be letting them know they need to straighten you out." All the monsters were able to see afterwards was Asgore's broad cape flapping away from them, and the small round shell tucked under his elbow with a despairing tail limply hanging out from it.
The monsters looked at eachother uneasily, unsure what SherlockHolmes had been accused of doing, or how they could avoid being removed from the yard as well.
