Haven't voted so far because we have plenty of time left in the day, and I've hardly been quiet, so, I'm not going to bandwagon yet.Still voting for myself, but:
MacReady
Blair
Childs
Bennings
Garry
Windows
Two of these people are Things.
If you add yourself to the list, then sure.

No, no, that's fine. No problem. Let's look at Blair instead.
After all, I have a little test of my own that we can use on you afterward.
Note that Fuchs still hasn't thrown his dynamite yet
Just wanted to let you guys know that, in about 8 hours, I'm going to throw my dynamite at Norris. Norris, you can avert this fate by either throwing dynamite of your own or by claiming to possess a flamethrower--in which case, you're likely to get turned tonight, so the other flamethrower had better burn you to be safe.
As far as that goes: if you have dynamite, and you want to use it, you should declare your intention to before you do it and we should discuss it. After all, it's not like you can be denied the chance during the day. But once you do declare that you have dynamite, you must throw it that day. If a Thing turns a guy with dynamite, he can throw it, and we become a great deal more fucked.
So it seems like in the majority of cases there, the random test will end up with at least a possibility of finding a Thing if not for sure identifying one if they refuse to test themselves.
I think I actually agree with your logic there:
If I have the test, I'm Human and I test myself, that proves that I am Human.
If I have the test, I'm Human, and I test someone else, then I prove that they are Human or The Thing.
If I have the test, I'm Thing and I refuse to test myself, that proves that I am Thing.
If I have the test, I'm Thing, and I test someone else, then I prove that they are Human or The Thing.
So it seems like in the majority of cases there, the random test will end up with at least a possibility of finding a Thing if not for sure identifying one if they refuse to test themselves. Only the first case results in for sure, no thing being found. This is assuming of course that we all play by the rule, test yourself unless asked otherwise.
I'm for this plan.
