phantom, you are trying to goad me into charging ahead and voting for Eonwe, while refusing to back me with a vote yourself. If I were to be led down the path you advice, a wolf might be hung, but it would not be a wolf of my choosing...the wolves won't vote for their fellow-wolf, and those down in my book as non-wolves (as spawn now is) seem reluctant too.

You know, I suppose we are two proverbial hair's breadths from disaster, not one...there is still time to see if we can throw off our shackles. I am now, phantom, strongly tempted to vote for you; but I know it would trigger a Loudmouth War. I must hesitate.

I'm going to do some research in the, ah, village annals, and perfect a strategem.

So I either get suspected for voting early or not at all, and I'm somewhat sick of it.


Well, it's time for me to vote. Of the Kitanna, Boromir & Marcolie trio I'm most suspicious of Boromir and Marcolie. But is there any chance to get either of them lynched today? Will my vote be wasted if I vote one of them? I don't know. But as a stubborn person I must vote for

It's pity, though, that I can't stay up and wait to see some further thoughts from him.

Spawn, may you be thrice accursed if you have misled me in dark knowledge. The malediction of a Gaurwaith is everlasting, everhaunting, a glint of steel biting into the very stuff of your mind and thoughts, a malaise that seizes your limbs and saps your vigour. Let it be so, if you have played me false!

But if not, thou art holden blessed, and thy safe passage through the marches of the woods of my fellows shall be assured while I and thou breathe.

++BOROMIR88

If this be an ill choice, Eru allow that in it does not lie our destruction.

I believe it still. But it is true that I do not stick to it...already I am unsure...but what's done is done.

Yes, pretty much. I'm wondering if you are going to stick with what you believed yesterday.

Can you blame me?

If it was between Eonwe and one of the people lower down my suspicion list (Kuru, Spawn, Boro, or you) then I would gladly give you my vote for Eonwe, but I think that, at this point, it is likely to be between Kitanna and Kuru, and my vote might be needed to break a tie. Plus, if Eonwe gets only our two votes and is not lynched, I might look like I was "throwing away" my vote.

Well, to that I would simply say "who cares?"

A wolf is a wolf. If a wolf ends up dead today, that's all that matters. I don't care which wolf. I'd settle for any wolf.

But anyway, the main reason I am unwilling to commit a vote to someone I suspect (Eonwe) is because I'm worried that I won't have my vote when I need it to break a double lynching.

Let me ask you, Ang, should I go ahead and vote for Eonwe right now and just hope and trust that other people won't cause a double lynching?

Are you willing to trust everyone else not to cause a double lynching?
