I read soldier's post as volunteering to be a replacement, but maybe I am just optimistic.
As for wing switching his vote... I can't say I am surprised. He has been trying to distance himself from streaker for a while, and now it finally built to this. It does seem a little strange in light of rose saying he would hammer tim. So many things about this switch scream scum, what rose said about him knowing tim would flip town not wanting to have to fight that (I do believe a lot of players in this game would base their votes tomorrow solely on today's flip). Also his listed reasoning really doesn't appear to make sense. He says we will get more info from streaker flipping scum than tim flipping scum. This statement has nothing to do with a read, and is basically stating that he is taking a risk. He is trying to justify leaving a player who has done nothing to aid the game and been a distraction recently to live while killing a player who has (in my opinion at least) been trying to help the town more (or at least trying to appear to). I am torn on this however. When I read through the first time, my thought was: "he is afraid tim will flip town, and streaker will flip scum and he doesn't want to be lynched this way". At first my mind said this was town because he thinks there is a chance streaker is scum and knows it would be a death sentence, but the more I think about it, a scum wing would make the same exact move, if not be even more likely to do it.
His reasoning just doesn't sit right with me. I think we should lynch the scummier player, not the player who if scum would give us more potential partner info. Maybe I am just against lynching a more helpful player because they are more helpful, it just seems backwards to me. It seems like scum trying to take advantage of an opportunity to off a player who may be asking the right questions.
I suppose he is correct though, we will know more once streaker's alignment is shown, although right now I don't think either alignment would look good on wing.
Hopefully streaker can post again before day end, even though he did give us his reads already.
