The Third day dawns

The villagers crept from their dwellings to see what had happened. They were sure they would find a fresh body the Werecat had left for them.But there in the middle of the town stood a huge pile of Kitty litter, standing almost five feet high.

"I don't think anyone is gone." Said Glirdan

The villagers stood and counted heads. But one villager did seem to be missing.

"I found someone." Shreiked Thinlomien. " I think it's Kitanna!"

Sure enough there was an arm sticking out from the bottom of the pile of stinky litter. The villagers pulled the arm until, Kitanna's body emerged. She was packed in every orrifus with kitty litter and her eyes were rolled back...She was gone..

Valier: Tomato grower- Died from a thousand cuts. (Moderator)

Well, two wolves in a row = great. My entire theory about the Cats yesterday = down the tubes.

It would almost be disappointing if the last wolf turns out to be Thinny or Telperaca.

Why Kitanna died seems to be the question right now. Unfortunately I'm at work and have to get off this computer right now, so I'll go, er, polish the bar to healthy sheen.

I'll be back after I get home with something more thought out.

I'm inclined to think the last Cat might be Lommy. It seems that Nogrod may well have been killed for his list, as two Cats were definitely on it, and the third might be. However I would say that perhaps the remaining wolf learnt from the mistake of killing the person that put suspicion onto them and so killed a person that considered them innocent. YesterDay Kitanna looked at Nogrod's list and while she found Telp and wilwa suspicious, she didn't think Lommy was.

It's just a theory, I welcome opinions!

Kath, Farael, Thinlomien and Diamond are the most suspicious to me at this point wit Roa and Formen as secondary. The vote for Wilwa was so close that I doubt there was a werecat in that group...of course it's not impossible but not likely. Of the group that didn't vote for Wilwa I would think Kath and Diamond the most suspicious. I don't have much time to explain currently, I've had one of the worst RL days in my life, but I hopefully will be able to later.

Telp is more or less a non-factor to me at this point and will die if she doesn't talk today anyway so I'm not concerned.

Kath, I wouln't think that way. I would leave anyone who ever pointed their finger at me alone, within reason taht is. I would go for smarts, quites, or experienceds. But that, of course, is just me.

I'm thinking Glirdan. Vote last night. He could rest fairly assured that Garin was up for the chopping block, considering he voted at ... ... 3 minutes to the deadline. However, how much would really be gained by voting wilwa? I guess firstly he had a safe vote. Second vote analysis if he ever got lynched would be a plus, but I'm thinking the real reason was a safe vote. And perhaps a trackrecord, in case Wilwa ever got a substantial number of votes, he could say he had voted consistently. Likewise, just a though, and I appreciate feedback as well.

Telperaca, I'm thinking should be lynched off summerily. Haveing not shown his face all yesterday, and the day before making but paltry excuse for a vote is, in my book, easily enough to warent lynching. That would be Doulbe-Lynched off, I mean.

Other than that, I need to think somemore about.

PS:

Housekeeping: I gotta work, sadly, tommarow morning. If I feel up to it, I may make a post about 7:30ish, but I'm doubting I will. (ooh thats 7:30 EST). Work will keep me until around 4:30 tops. So I wouldn't have much time tomarrow.

It is 7:05 pm my time.

Eonwe... I don't think Double Lynches are allowed in this game.

I'm going to review the posts/votes right now... back with something if I come up with anything. Which hopefully I will.

I'm not recovered yet from this week nor I've had time to read properly, but doesn't anyone else find it interesting that the werecat did not choose me and frame Eonwe?

Obviously, Eonwe is a cat

++Eonwe

I might change it tomorrow, but then.... I'll probably not.

Am I the only person around or what? Rattling around in this empty village could drive a barmaid to drink.

Anyway, after reading over the Days I'm not too clear on things but I'm suspecting of Thinlomien and Morm. Below are some notes I took, it's not a complete or exhaustive anlysis of the game, it's just my main line of thinking about people who stand out to me for one reason or another. Those not mentioned are currently flying under my radar. I know they're around but I'm going with my gut on who I find most worth looking at. Of course, my gut apparently hasn't been working very good because, to borrow Farael's pun from day 1, I have thus far been Miss Taken in most of my theories.

Anyway:

day 1 -- Farael and Sleepy go back and forth a lot, vote for each other.

day 2 -- Farael goes for Eonwe. Eonwe votes Wilwa, sealing her fate. Eonwe very innocent looking now, makes Farael suspicious. However Sleepy was pretty aggressive toward him day 1, seems more like Cat going after innocent than cat-on-cat smokescreen.

day 1 -- Garin casts first vote for Sleepy.

day 2 -- Garin casts first vote for Wilwa. Garin likely innocent, though he could just be putting the "I" in team.

day 2 -- Glirdan first to point out Nogrod's list and suggests we look closely at those mentioned. Would he do this if he and Wilwa were the remaining Cats? Isn't this kinda risky after Sleepy's already been killed? Plus, Wilwa votes for him. I think Glirdan likely innocent.

days 1 & 2 -- Lommy's posts don't really tell me much. Neither do her votes. But one thing she does say is that she doesn't think Wilwa or Telperaca would be stupid enough to vote for Nogrod, discounts herself because she knows she's innocent. Were Wilwa and Lommy trying the "so stupid it's smart" strategy? Suspicious enough to make me feel okay voting for her.

day 2 -- morm goes after Wilwa a bit. Changes his vote eventually. What to think? He's strongly against taking the rhyme into consideration. For love of the game, or fear beacause his fellow cat Wilwa is on it? Is he going after Wilwa just to prove that he's not protecting her, yet changes his vote because he doesn't really want her to die? Suspicious, maybe worth a vote.

I may be voting pretty soon. I will hardly be around at all tomorrow because I'll be at work all day and never know when I can peek in during work. I may get home before the deadline but don't want to bank on it.

Most likely I will choose Lommy. Partically because I am suspicious of her and partially beause, guilty or innocent, knowing her identity will help lay to rest the rhyme controversy.

X-Posted with Farael.

Farael why do you vote Eonwe? He and Garin seem the most innocent to me based on their votes. Of course it could be a bluff and a cat-on-cat voting strategy but I really don't think that's the case. So seeing you vote for him makes me highly suspicious of you today.
