Just as a reminder, Day 2 will come to an end at 2 PM today, eastern standard time, if a lynch hasn't occurred by then, the VNTL is actually 7 at the moment, as Amys and White Flame are both inactive, but as White Flame happens to be one of the voters who is voting for the candidate with the most votes with them, he obviously can't be counted toward the vote but not the VNTL at the same time, if he posts before the deadline his vote is in effect, but the VNTL would rise back to 8. We are using the site's clock for deadline purposes, which would be 7:00:00 PM site time. I will check the VNTL now to see if anyone has no posts after 7 pm site time on the 20th, as that would be the earliest time to ensure they could not go inactive before the deadline

Edit: Okay checked everyone again, nobody lacks a post (besides the two inactives) more recent than 2 PM EST April 20, so the VNTL can't go further down before the deadline. If either White Flame or Amys posts before then, it rises back to 8, White Flame's vote does not currently count and will not until he posts again, which would of course raise the VNTL back to 8.
