Yay! My first vote!

I somehow feel the need to explain what I did last day and what was happening from my point of view. There was a lot of cross-posting, I hope I get it all right.


When I voted, it was Lal 4, Kit 2, Boro 2.

To me, Lal felt weird, but not necessarily guilty, Kit was suspicious and Boro looked quite innocent.

So, to give Lal a better chance of surviving, I voted for Kitanna, deeming her the lesser loss. (34 min until deadline)

Then, Valier chose Ang, making Lal reveal herself. (18 min until deadline)

I was pretty stunned, but there was still time, 3 votes, and a lot of retractions left. I was pondering my options, preferring to go after Boromir.

Valier retracted to Boromir next: Lal 4, Boro 3, Kit 3. Thus I retracted to Boromir as well, making it 4-4-2.
That I made Roa's and Lalaith's possible retractions useless by this didn't appear to me then. I was just hoping that somebody more will choose Boro (didn't expect Kitanna to do that, as I still didn't trusted her).

While I typed, Naria stepped in and Kitanna revealed herself. (9 min until deadline)
Had I retracted earlier, it would have taken pressure off her. She could have retracted to Boromir, put him in the lead and everything would have been fine.
Let's assign bad timing to Mordor, where it belongs.

The vote of phantom and the retractions of Naria and Kitanna then saved the day.

Rereading it all, it was quite close. I didn't feel it that bad at the time.

Seconded, though I'm still at a complete loss about Post 125 (before?).
