Garin, why exactly did you vote for Nogrod? I just searched through all your posts and found no reasoning behind the vote than "If Nogrod were a faithful, he would be dangerous."

I would like to second TGWBS. . . Garin's latest post was one big contradiction, atleast the way I read it.

even though there is a "thus far" in there, I still get the imprssion that Garin is going to stay away from Nogrod, but then:

Okay, a few more minutes....

++Nogrod
It does not make sence. . .from what I read, Garin does not vote Rikae because it would be a safe vote.

So he votes Nogrod simply because he could be a dangouress opponent and but he also find that this could be dangouress for him.

The only thing I can conclude is that Garin is afraid to vote any of them and then votes for the one he fear the most.

I might vote Garin because of this post. . .it is weird on so many levels.

I think Garin just reasoned his vote for Nogrod as being the least suspicious vote for him to make. He doesn't vote for Rikae because it could look "safe" and thus suspicious, so instead he votes Nogrod, because it's "riskier" and thus makes Garin look innocent.

This is odd, because Nogrod is actually the safer vote because of all the (baseless, in my opinion) suspicion against him right now.

EDIT: crossed with Garin.... I'm not sure I'm buying that.

maybe you are right Roa, but I am far from convinced. . .

It could be that I just don't like the whole thing about the risk level dictating who you vote for.

I for one will not decide who to vote for based on that.

To The Guy Who Be Shot: (I still love that old typo)

This is one quote from an earlier post of mine:

Quote:
I already alluded to the fact that Nogrod was more hesitant to lynch some more than others did not sit well with me. It just seemed like an odd first day stance to take.
Plus I agreed with some of Sauce's and Thin's speculation. Which could turn out to be a dangerous stance in itself.

The vote was not an easy one and doesn't sit too well right now. That's why I still don't appreciate Rikae's quick vote.

PLUS, the Nog vote puts me in the Manwe camp. I'm not comfortable there. Manwe's desperation and revenge complex makes me uneasy.

I really don't have much time right now. Maybe I'll retract and re-vote before I head to work. Maybe not.

Also, everyone seems to trust Legate right now. Call me a worthless villager but...

I just like to live dangerously I guess. This is pretty much standard for me. Vote for me if you like although I assure you it would be futile. Unless you are a faithful.

When I started my post, I had decided NOT to vote for Nogrod. Then I ended up going against my instinct at the end.

I am confused and really distracted by the clock right now because I really need to go right now and won't monitor the game the rest of the day.

--Nogrod
++Rikae


Because you shouldn't take votes lightly.

EDIT: LAST POST TODAY. GOOD LUCK

Rune, I'm not sure we understand each other. I'm not trying to exonerate Garin by any means. I was just writing what I think his post meant, as there seems to be confusion.

Garin seems... well, alarming right now. I hesitate becaue I remember from before Garin left us, and he does have a 100% lynch rate, as well as a 100% ordinary villager rate.....

Still, if your style of play gets you lynched, it's time to get a new style of play. I was all set to vote for SPM, but now I'm not so sure.

1420!

I really have no idea! I'm awful at reading into what people say and more often than not, I don't get the wrong end of the stick, I get a whole different stick from a different tree. It's not even the same kind of wood!

Ahem. But enough of this silliness. I seriously have no idea, but I am being led to Manwe because he made fun of me ( ) and also because he was being, if not tactless, then suspicious. I won't vote for him now because I'll probably get another idea soon enough.
Garin has had some interesting things to say. Voting for Nogrod out of the blue and then changing when challenged seems... if not odd then... erm... not... so... odd?

Well, he's made some good points so far but that by no means he's innocent. But, I say he's innocent until proven guilty as are all ye here. But then again, isn't the basis of this game 'trust no-one'? Sorry to break the 4th wall.
