And it really seems to me like an attempt to cast suspicion on somebody.

Wait a second, isn't making stronger suspicions/accusations a good thing? If nothing else it will hopefully get
Nog to answer some things about his vote and late-posting yesterday. I've had the impression
Nog's playing carefully so far (not sure if I'd call it sneaky, but sneaky/careful are virtually the same in meaning).
I'm not following
Eonwe's point here:
Quote:
Here he tried to stick it all together, and fails miserably. The two points are not the same at all. In addition, it's only here that he goes for the "but maybe an innocent Bom could do this too" angle. Throughout the rest of the post, there's no indication of anything else, no doubt or deviation from his topic- it's just a list of reasons to kill Bom.

"Fails miserably" is more strong language, and not sure what you're saying by
Nog trying to "stick it all together,"...perhaps clarification?
Anyway, I have to wonder what a wolf-
Eonwe would gain by this strong language in going after
Nogrod? Also, I think there is a point to be made with
Nog stressing "half-serious" continually. It makes sense with my feelings yesterday
Nog is treading carefully. I'm sure an innocent
Nog would have reservations about voting for
Bom based solely on
Bom's unconventional behavior.
But, the thing is,
Nog's trying to make his
Bom-suspicions look like there is some objective consideration,but at the same time his posts look like a pre-determined decision to vote
Bom and tack on the reasons to justify the vote. Eh, that may be unclear...But this could get wordy...
Unsure innocents always has to go back through posts to either convince themselves about their suspicions being right, or to see they might have judged wrongly. But with
Nog yesterday, it's almost like trying to convince us his vote was being thoughtfully considered, when really it was a "here's why
Bom's suspicious" case with some "half-serious" and "it could just be innocent
Bom being
Bom" added in to make it look reasonably considered.
It was
Bom's self-vote to motivate
Nog to go back and re-consider voting
Bom...right? But you hardly have to go back through
Bom's posts to convince yourself. I mean, it's
Bom. We are familar with his style. What were you expecting to get out of his posts? If your reasons for voting
Bom are because
Bom's playing unconventionally and there doesn't appear to be other options you're comfortable voting for, fine, just come out and say so. Saying
Bom is being mysterious/not giving anything away/not providing helpful input is like saying the sky is blue. It's not like anyone needs to go back through
Bom's posts to confirm/deny reasons for voting him.
Bom's playing randomly and playing like
Bom.
You can't on one hand lynch someone because you're not comfortable with the other possibilities and here is
Bom playing like
Bom. Yet on the other hand go through a post-by-post explanation and keep tacking on the suspicions to justify the vote. To do so is just overkill. Surprise, surprise,
Bom said something controversial/suspicious/crazy/random.
Edit: crossed with everyone after
Greenie's vote.
