My goodness, it’s quiet around here. Which is to be expected, to a degree, in such a small village. But what concerns me more is not the relatively few number of posts, but the alarming lack of serious analysis.
The phantom, too, bemoans the quietness, but seems to be doing little to rectify the situation himself, Indeed, as far as I can see, he has done little himself to further the village’s cause. Although, to be fair, he has provided us with a list of people who he thinks might or might not be guilty, but who he will not vote for toDay.
I am not ready to vote for him yet, as he is too valuable if innocent, but he is doing nothing to allay my concerns over him.
While I am still highly suspicious of Kath’s ‘safe’ vote yesterDay, I am not going to vote for her toDay, as she has not been around, so there is nothing more to go on. I will not vote for Holby toDay, for the same reason.
Gil’s vote for one of the Mods is an eye-opener, and no mistake. It’s the sort of thing an innocent but disengaged Gil might do. But I would not put it past a Wolfish Gil to do it as a diversionary tactic, knowing that people will probably put it down to Gil just being Gil. It might even have been something that was planned overNight. Other than that and the no-vote, there’s not a lot to go on with him, but that’s pretty much the norm with Gil, and it’s a perennial problem. Although perhaps his unprovoked show of aggression against the almighty Mods, will earn him a blast of Modfire from above.
This little spat between Shasta and CoD has me thinking. I can understand CoD’s grievance, since Shasta does seem to be applying different standards to him and to Lal, and he doesn’t explain it. CoD himself is still suspicious for his no-vote yesterDay, but I can see some basis for a Shasta/Lal alliance here.
Which brings me to Lal. Having looked back over her contributions to our discussions, it does strike me that she has been very careful in what she has said. Her opening posts yesterDay were the type that look helpful on first appearance, but actually say very little. And throughout, she has given very little away about her thoughts and been alarmingly cagy about her suspicions. Her vote for the phantom came practically out of nowhere and, while I do have concerns about him myself, I don’t see nearly enough to warrant a vote.
The way that I am currently thinking, I am likely to vote for either Shasta or Lal toDay.
