I know the answer. Yes.
I didn't vote against staindman based on his voting me out; he played that well, and I knew I was in trouble when he said "the plan was to vote for delta" not "I" or "we are voting for delta."
I was clear that to me outright lies were unacceptable. So it was staindman twice telling me flatly that he did not have the idol -- and that Jackson's 3HR game was one of his incorrect guesses -- that decided my vote. Without that whopper, I think in the end I would have given staind credit for playing the game well to get rid of me and voted for him to win. staindman fessed up to two or three other lies he told others, but that was the only one he told me. Without it, he'd have won.
