I was rereading the last couple of pages to see if I should switch over to one of the top two vote-getters, and gnarly's posts about the name issue are pretty weird. The posts to Bill about being willing to unvote him only if someone else has his name, after multiple people had already claimed it, felt like bravado set up to let himself unvote Bill. Then changing his story on who shares his first name hint, maybe he doesn't want to claim the same name as swammer because they're both scum? Or maybe he and guiri are scum together and he wants them to be able to fake claim the same thing?

I'm less sure of the latter, because I share guiri's name hint and I don't know how likely that is to come up randomly. How about this: guiri, can you tell me which of the three ITO letters is in yours? gnarly, can you tell me what the third letter of your name is?

In any case, I think gnarly is scum and may well have been caught trying to coordinate / avoid a scumbuddy, so he would be a good lynch toDay.
