I find it odd that yesterday you expected to get votes put on you for being the 2nd voter on JE, but today are surprised to see anyone voting for you despite doing that for the second day straight.

Either you scanned over and missed them or deliberately are choosing to ignore them. The first hint was dropped by LSG earlier in the day saying as a math teacher she didn't understand simple math? I'm sorry but I don't buy that. Its not rocket science to know 5/7=71%. It felt like she was trying to make the math look bogus, when thats all it was the entire time, just math and odds.

Vote Alan

Then suddenly barkeep comes back and refers to the math thing as well and both he and LSG dropped quick votes on me within 10 min of me having said that I would have to leave. It felt like a setup then, and still feels like one now. I was wrong about Barkeep, but it still feels fishy to me.
