Anyways, we are not many left here, the number of casualties are worrying. We will need to be swift and efficient.

So let me start of with the first raised eyebrow (it probably does not qualify as an acusation):

Clarification is nice, but not something we should deal with here, and it these sort of request that can easily be used as a smokescreen.

As I skimmed through posts I see that Rune's first post seemed to bring in a bit of discussion.

Probably? Accusation? Raised eyebrow is enough; that whole (explanation) wasn't really necessary. Then, Probably? As in, allowing for a possibility that this can go as an accusation? Or that you don't know? And, if it goes as an accusation, it's the worst one I've seen in all my games. Already on defense without any attack? Hmm.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm not sure where your suspicion of Shasta is coming from.
Because Rune says "ooo Legate is suspicious (but not really suspicious) because I'm not throwing accusations around or anything, but rule clarification can be used as a smokescreen"
Then Shasta says "I think because of the narration there's probably two bots" which looked to me like an interpretation and not trying to lull anyone into any sense of security. Because if we manage to take down two bots and the game is still on, well we just play as we have always played until we find the third. Shasta's statement didn't seem nefarious or lully to me at all.

I've seen it work before to the favor of the wolves. I don't feel like it's G55's way to blatantly declare such a thing, but doesn't mean it's not possible.
*glares at G55*

AMEN

But is this something a Botanna would say to make me think she is the real Kit? Maybe we should lynch her just to be safe.

And our neverending battle of who finds who more suspicious begins anew. Ah, how I have missed this, old friend.

I don't find that to be strictly true. I've seen a lot of "so-and-so isn't here, I want him/her to have a chance before I vote for him/her."
As for G55 I see her very much throwing some randomness out there which could be A) her trying to confuse the village B) her starting conversation so we have trails to follow Day 2.

If you abstain you are playing it very safe by not throwing out an opinion, but that sort of behavior is just as suspicious as voting on flimsy evidence.

DL falls at about 6 AM my time and unless my dog gets me out of bed at 5 I'll be sleeping through the DL. I have about 5 hours (6 maybe) and then I'll have to vote. And I get the feeling it will be a flimsy, illogical vote based on the discussion thus far because I hate the idea of abstaining from voting.
