I agree . . . I don't think Kraken is in danger of hitting the top. But I want to lower them anyway. We have to think of the next round. If they remain exactly where they are, and everyone does their best to continue spreading votes around and evening out the field, they could still be on the highest level next time. And that could kill them. I'm worried about the others, but I can't ignore that possibility. I can't vote for anyone else.
