Lathum - any reason why he wasn't replaced in the game? That gave a pretty shitty advantage to the wolves.

Dude, you sound like a Patriots fan...
Honestly though, there were plenty of chances to lynch him earlier and you happened to let the real janitor lead the way. If he had been lynched it probably would have pointed the village to the win at that point. Granted he was AWOL and could have been removed but where is the cutoff for that? One day? Two days? Even then does he get removed or replaced? If he is removed it puts the village down yet another man and that becomes an issue (if someone other than CR gets lynched the day he is removed the rguemtns is "the wolves basically had three kills that day"). If he is replaced that brings up issues of it's own.... someone who has nothing yet invested in the game, someone with no voting history, someone who has not had a chance to really get a feel for the game.
By the time the cutoff of replacing or removig him would have hit he was already mentioned as a primary lynch target being mentioned. In that case it makes more sense to either have no lynch that day and just remove RPI or hope everyone carries through with lynching him.
If whatever the last day was that he was here he said "I won't be here for X number of days." and then wasn't replaced that would be an issue.
I do think that this does bring up a rule that should become part of the games which says that you need to check into a thread at leas every X number of days to remain in a game. It needs to be a rule that is the same for everyone so there is no advantage to one side or the other. While we understand that RL issues take priority over a WW game we should still implement a rule like this to keep the issue from becoming something that makes the community implode (not saying it is that bad now but we should cut this off before it even has a chance to get there).
