Aaaaaand Kerigis, Zakeri, and Alice still haven't posted. This doesn't help Kerigis' and Alice's situation at all.
Another reason I choose to vote Nietz was that Alice had shown he could make a quality post, compared to Nietz, who wasn't playing all that well. I thought that Alice could deliver in Day 3.
Roukan: That post didn't really need the AtE. Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong with switching. You gave an original case, and then it was shot down relatively quickly, so then there's not point in staying there, right? It's situational, really, whether or not dropping a case is bad or just the most realistic thing to do, and in your case, I think it'd be the most realistic thing to do.
So anyways, I would vote Kerigis for not existing, giving IIoA, generally not doing anything useful, and because Jan-san was oh so jumpy with his vote, but that would put him at L-1, and it's way too early in the game for that. Alice has still not posted, when I was hoping he would deliver more on Day 3. Serp is weird in that all he did when he posted was answer something for me, and vote Kerigis w/a case. The post was relatively good for its size, but it wasn't a whole lot of content.
Summary: I'd vote Kerigis, but he's already at L-2, and it's only about 1/4 or 1/3 into the Day, so I'll prod Alice again. If he's not going to post at all during the beginning or middle of a Day, he's relatively useless to town.
