Voting close to close is a great way to make accidental hammers happen.

Last week, I sent my PI manuscripts on osteosarcoma, rib hemangiosarcoma, intra-op polarized optical tomography for GI tumors, and feline injection-site sarcoma, so get on my varied level

Why only "until?" I suggest "through"
Tread lightly Spurs...ties are a scary scary thing
Why angery on this, @supershorty ??? I thought of anyone YOU would like there being a multi-way tie at the end!

That's how people tend to treat maj but I honestly don't change my vote strategy (except to check I'm not hammering accidentally) unless it's close to the end of the game and you're gonna hit it with like, two votes.
Only if you want to win! If you're in it to troll and exasperate, this sounds like a great strategy! 😀

People holding their votes all day is booooooring
Yeah I mean just try and know what majority is (half the number of players +1) and how many votes there are, where you’re voting.
But also Scum can pile on quickly to hammer a misyeet, so some breathing room on a vote is always good

Yeah @Zenge142 this was specifically intended for you
I’d rather hold my vote. Otherwise Samac convinces me to misyeet poor Beans.

I hate ties, that's why I punish them with mass execution when I have the ability to do so.

No need to worry about big death here, ties will just be RNG'd probably!
Smashes tie button repeatedly

I'm up to date on my shots, so no one has to worry about me biting them, unlike that feral human doctor over there 😤
I wish I was 😔
Actually I should look into if I can get it

I haven't needed to get it in a really long time bc my titers have been so high, but I think it's generally VERY expensive for people to get out of pocket, and your insurance is unlikely to cover it without a good reason.

Oh I have a good reason!
There was the whole incident in Michigan last year.
After Michigan patient dies of rabies from a transplanted kidney, donor's other recipients get preventive shots
The same donor provided corneal grafts for three patients, the CDC said. Those patients have been given shots to prevent rabies and are currently healthy.

Mine wouldn't cover it unless it was post exposure. A rehabber told me if I ever went to the ER with a bite and said it was from a feral cat, they would be required to give it. I am not recommending that course of action, but it is true. I got mine through a random pharmacy benefit but had to drive to Vermont because pharmacists in Massachusetts aren't legally allowed to administer the rabies vaccine.
I'm also confirmed TB negative so HAH. I'm even more safe than shorty.

This is also not the only time they've had patients contract rabies from organ transplantsOh I have a good reason!

I covered this is my public health elective last year and in our small animal medicine rabies lecture this year too.
My insurance paid for half of one of the rabies shots (I did the 2 shot series)...which is I guess better than nothing

I think my insurance covered it when I got it, but that was more than a decade ago and it was before I was heading off to Madagascar for several months, and my doctor still had to argue with them a fair amount to get it covered.My insurance paid for half of one of the rabies shots (I did the 2 shot series)...which is I guess better than nothing
Ugh. UMN made me do all three, even after offering a letter from my doctor stating that I would have to stop taking a critical medication for months to be able to receive the full series and the CDC recommendation is the two shot series.My insurance paid for half of one of the rabies shots (I did the 2 shot series)...which is I guess better than nothing

yeah it was $450-$500 per dose for me, with two doses due at start of 1st year plus a booster and/or titer required at start of clinics 🥲 And I had insurance at the time (but it was United, so y’know…)
Joke's on me, I got latent TB at the end of my residency and had to do the whole multi-drug treatment.
Okay NO ONE get bit by spurs he's clearly an infectious disease nightmare
ETA: I hope you are now okay and did not have any long standing issues from it
I also do mRNA vaccine research, which means I’ll probably give you all other kinds of ailments too!

Lol I used to joke that I will either never get cancer or will get some weird form of mutant cancer because I was around so many animals shedding chemo residues for so long.
Carboplatin and mustargen are no joke friends.

they just want me to fail my finals ig (this is a joke)
Do my posts in this thread count for today? That would be dope
The important thing to remember is that hammers are always good
I'm only half joking
Being willing to hammer is good--it applies pressure and weight to votes so the whole day matters instead of just eod. But that only works if sometimes you're actually willing to go through with it, or you just end up right back at being plurality.
