Though many may miss this here at the bottom of a page, I feel like posting now.

Eeep! Whats with all the Cespenar hate? Surely Gaelan Bayle isn't a better more popular character than the butler.
Being better or more popular doesn’t mean you’ll win. Jaheira was the second character to reach 40 points in the first round and the fifth to fall in the second round. I don’t think Jaheira died because she was annoying as some have suggested. It seems to me that at least some those that are now dead were characters people saw as threats. In a weird way, you should be glad to see a character you like killed early because it means people took the effort to target them. In Jaheira’s case that was a lot of hard and fast effort. Anomen Delryn was also hotly contested battle. I see no shame in the deaths of these characters. In fact, the only reason I aided in Anomen’s demise was to help end the deadlock not because I hated Anomen nor thought Anomen was a bad character.
I have not yet added a single point to the character I “most” want to win which may seem odd to some, but I have my reasons. That’s not to say that I don’t have any affinity for those to which I have added points, it’s just that I don’t expect them to win. I will not mention whether or not I have taken points from who I want to win, but I will mention this: Sometimes taking a few points from a character will have a whiplash effect where they gain far more points than were deducted from them. The inverse can be true as well.
In a game like this where logic and reason may seem not to exist there is still strategy. Sometimes doing the exact opposite thing can have the impact you want. If I screamed “Don’t kill Boo!” How many people who previously didn’t take points from Boo would start to take points from Boo as a reaction? How many people who were already angry that Boo made it to 40 first would redouble their efforts to kill Boo? As the battle to hurt and heal Boo intensified due to my comments how many would join in if only to see it resolve? If you think the answer is none, you are wrong.
Examples of what I mean are many but here’s just one chain that occurred on page 16:
Eleima’s turn: Anomen Delryn - 3 +4 = 7

Can't believe Anomen's almost dead, especially when there are characters like Illasera the Quick who has maybe 5 seconds of screen time and is at 50 points... *shrug*
Norskatt’s turn: Anomen Delryn -7-4=3

Sorry...I'm just taking out the lowest!
Korpul’s turn: Illasera - 50 - 1 = 49 (possible reaction to Eleima mention of Illasera)
Swordfishtrombone’s turn Anomen 3-3=0

FDrage’s turns: Illasera - 49 + 4 = 53 (counter reactions to Korpul)
P.S. Sorry FDrage for calling any attention to Illasera.

... and no, it wasn't a counter reaction.
