Okay.

Interesting skirmish between Sauce and Lommy there. I'm not really suspicious of either of them although in my opinion Sauce has been more rash than usual. It looks like that the little debate with him and Lommy was mostly a misunderstanding, but I remember hearing about one of Sauce's ancestors who made a brilliant performance as a clueless villager. This could be a similar act, but not enough for getting a vote from me toDay. Sometimes it just pays off to vote for some "big-name" villager even on Day 1, but I wouldn't certainly do it without as good reasons as possible. If we want to find the wolves, we need to vote for the villager we find the most suspicious regardless of their status, but voting them more or less randomly doesn't help at all.

TGWBS is confusing me with all those Pidgeys and stuff. I've never been a fan of Pokemon, maybe that's my problem, but to me it looks like that he's made his presence clear only with talking about those creatures. When I read his posts they have little substance in them. I believe we have another Day 1 hater here...

His random abacus told him to vote for Cailín and he is confident about his choice. He says that Sauce is being inconsistent, but wonders if he should have used smilies. His comments about other affairs of the village (votes & roles) are "don't care" and "apathetic" with a few lines of speculation.
When morm voted for him, he wanted to know morm's reason. Would it have helped if he had said that he has an abacus, too..?

Oh, and Boro, me writing about your decision not to reveal your tactic was a part of a small summary of your doings. I haven't said my own opinion about that yet. That aside, I'm not comfortable with you somewhat twisting Lommy's words. When you quoted Lommy's post #40, you conviniently left out the last part of the phrase which would have made more sense. I don't know whether Lommy is innocent or not, but in any case quoting someone in a way that on purpose makes them look worse than they are isn't fair.

On a lighter note, "But you [Lommy] did say they [retractable votes] cause confusion and that wolves would benefit giving them "perfect cover." I don't know how it gives them cover? Sure as heck hasn't given me cover today." ~Boro

Ooh, are you confessing? (Or am I too tired... )

Cailín, this is what I said about TGWBS yesterday.

Here are my thoughts from toDay.

#116 - Says that based on Day 1 only Durelin, Caran and Fin have been noticeable - Caran in a bad way.

#118 - Lists Form's posts and all who mentioned him yesterDay. Speculates why Form was killed and his conclusion is that we're on wrong track and thw wolves want to keep it that way.

Finds spawn suspicious because she casually remarked that Form wasn't acting as usual, and Cailín because she changed her opinion about Form.

#122 - Agrees with Sauce that there might not have been any wolves voting for Boro.

#154 - Says that Sauce can't afford to make mistakes because of his reputation. He's going to ignore morm, lmp, Caran and Durelin for the time being and wants to form his own conclusions about things because he doesn't know whom to trust. Thanks Cailín for replying to him.

#156 - Makes a list of posts that had something to do with Boro getting lynched.

#165 - Says that morm is rather reluctant to voice his thoughts while suspecting TGWBS. Ignores Sauce in his analyses because he's too tricky. Talks about Poke stuff.


TGWBS has posted a lot, but a big part of it is strategical talk such as why Form was killed. He mentiones some names as supicious, but doesn't really accuse anyone or make cases. At the beginning of the Day he said that Caran looked bad, but then he ignores her whereas a moment later when he had said that he'd ignore morm, TGWBS wonders his behaviour. Well, opinions do change, but he suspected Cailín for that earlier toDay...

I'm wary of people who mostly mentions some names without really stating what they think of them or analysing them, but to be fair, TGWBS promised an analysis of his list in #156, so I look forward to that. In the meantime I remain slightly suspicious of him.

I guess I've used to seeing you more verbose, but to me it seemed odd.
