The decision to ostracise is made in the presence of common knowledge of the existence of a particular conflict. In the present case, those arguing for ostracism would point to the comex/pikhq conflict. If the first vote went in favour of ostracism, the leading candidates for expulsion would be comex and pikhq, though under the Athenian procedure the valid vote values would be all the players. -zefram
