In our column, we have one out of three odds instead of one out of four because we know we aren't foxes. If we vote for all three, we have one in the bag for sure, and a chance to pick up a second in our row.

[senior_citizen]

... But zero chances of picking up all three.

[ hrrrrm ]

It's logical, though. If no one has any stronger suspicions, then we should do that.

[crusthatecean]

Tiger is sure it's not Heliodor because they fucking said they weren't foxes. But I think that's retarded. So let's do the strategy.

[senior_citizen]

Strategy, then.

[crusthatecean]

Good. You aren't terrible after all.

I'm Karkat, by the way.

[senior_citizen]

... Adam. And - uh, thanks. Your logic was good, but you can't just call people names and expect them to listen.

[crusthatecean]

Yes, you can. That's the thing about logic, it's just as logical whether or not you like the person whose logic it was.

Besides, Tiger already knows I'm a piece of shit and he's never cared before. He's just being stubborn for dumb other reasons.

[senior_citizen]

Even so. We're teammates, aren't we? If we can't talk to each other without yelling getting involved, then something is wrong.

[crusthatecean]

Why?

[senior_citizen]

You're yelling at him because he's not listening to you, right?

[crusthatecean]

That and idiocy in general is just offensive to me.

[senior_citizen]

[ shakes his head ]

Does the yelling help?

[crusthatecean]

I guess? It doesn't hurt.
