Elementary, my dear Watson.
Areg was counting on the fact that on the first day, as usual, no one would be executed, and he suggests his friend as a candidate, thereby whitewashing himself (or him, which doesn't matter). However, there are already 7 votes... He probably isn't happy that he suggested it.
Damn, in half an hour, if nothing changes, I'll be executing Brackman, but damn, I hate voting against those who haven't expressed their opinion...
