Sorry about the repeating but I needed that myself as those vote-posts are more vague as they are...

So I looked another time at the reasons for voting this far. And they are just terrible (and they all can't be baddies!).


Greenie - "because he's the one I feel the worst about. I know that's not much said at this point"

Comment: very easy, picking the most "obvious" choice as the first vote. Suspicious indeed!


Lommy - "No, I don't think she's a wraith. She might be but I don't suspect that very much"; covered under the possible revenge-scenario of settling their relationship right... And adding the cautionary measure of: "But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Aggy happened to have Underhill or Ferny as her last name, and that's why I'm picking her instead of someone else just as unwraithish."

Comment: Even by Lommy's standards this is a bit too careful and too over-explained vote...


Gollum - "*Draws name from hat*"

Comment: Stating that one's vote is random means that you discharge yourself from the responsibilty of making the vote but still you make the vote and thus help lynching someone. Downright awful, undisgraceful, cowardish, irresponsible, worth of lynching on any occasion where you have no better targets!


Aganzir - "Okay my vote is probably one of the most random I have ever cast." And add to that this: "she deserves a vote after last game. I don't have an opinion about her at all, really".

Comment: Look above for my view of stating openly the randomness of one's vote. The following explanation kind of makes the vote even worse.


Legate refers to Mac's "Ferny thing" and says: "I really do not have much suspicion against anybody, and this at least was bad enough move in my opinion anyway. Whatever."

Comment: The first decent vote thus far... the problem is that it looks soo nicely like one an intelligent wolf (which Legate would be) could come up with... Not a reason to suggest lynching him toDay though - although I think of his eagerness to vote for Mac on Day1 a bit suspicious anyway - with these grounds...


Shasta - "Yes, I know you're famed for flip-flopping, Lommy dear, but that business of "No, I don't think Aganzir is a wraith, but I'm going to vote her anyway!" is just too much".

Comment: That looks like purposefully trying to ignore Lommy's actual and clearly stated point (which I think was over-explained but that's another issue). He refers to Lommy's reputation of being a flip-flopper and decides to ignore what she writes in the matter of fact - which is that she doesn't think Agan is a wolf / wraith but that she is Frodo / Bill. That is very much lowbrow and suspicious as I think Shasta is a reasonable guy anyway. So what is he thinking by making that argument? A forced argument?
