I was actually looking more for reasons to vote for somebody else rather than morm defense. You didn’t really talk about reasons why to vote for other players.

You’ve struck me as being stealthy.

I don't remember it coorelating with when he began to suspect me but let's be honest, we knew he wouldn't be here on day 2 and on day 1 there wasn't much to go on with him. So is it odd that on day 3 I suspect him based on more information that I have?
Well, it actually did, but in fairness I attacked with my first post of this Day.

I’m still open to other options.

Sally : While she has been decidedly strange…I’m not sure if she’s been wolfishly strange. She is definitely unpredictable and I think right now more of a liability than an asset…but I’m not sure I’m comfortable voting for her right now.

Menel : He’s been a bit wild, swinging from one opinion to the other. This could very well be a smokescreen. It’s certainly chaotic.

Volo : I’m having a hard time understanding why a wolf would vote for another wolf with their last vote before lynching. While it might be that A Little Green did it to throw us off the scent…I’m not comfortable voting for Volo today.

Lommy : I’ve felt better about her for the most part…but part of me just doesn’t trust her. I’m definitely going to be watching.

Whatever happens, I’ll try to work to prevent a double lynching as I think they are just bad. It is quite possible that we'd be wrong about both.

Boots Oh, and another thing...

I'm noticing that The Might has brought up a couple of issues to get us sidetracked.

Not sure if that is really important but thought I should mention it.

I'm glad to see we got more candidates in the running, but I don't think we should spread it out anymore.

I still suspect Volo and Menel the most, more so with Menel at the moment.

Menel is being very flip floppy. As soon as people notice his sudden hesitance with pursuing morm as wolfy, he goes back and attacks him again. Very odd and very suspicious. Menel seems to be trying hard not to draw suspicion from others, but he's only making it worse.

I would really prefer to vote Menel toDay. Is there anyone else who feels the same way besides Kath? I'll go for it, but I don't want to risk a double or triple lynch with my vote.

Morm is acting very defensive; it worries me slightly, but I'm not convinced it's wolfish behaviour. More likely a frustrated innocent. And Sally I'm still not sure about, but I think she's just a chaotic innocent. I'd rather not vote for either of them, but I'll do it if it means preventing a double lynching.

I was really hoping to be here near day end but it will not work as I have a meeting for the next 90 minutes. Anyway I'm going with the person who I feel most suspicious and who I feel I've presented a decent amount of evidence against. He really seems desparate to kill me and is grasping at straws and flip-flopping like crazy.

++Menel

If I am killed today or tonight I ask that you look closely at those who orchestrated my death, namely Kuru, Menel, Volo and others.

Why those? Why not me?

Everyone seems to think I was flip-flopping on mormegil last night when I said I'd do the analysis. All I said was that I wasn't quite as sure of my suspicions then as I was before. I did not say that morm was innocent and I never have. I simply decided to reconsider my suspicions and take another look at mormegil.

I also did not say that Volo was innocent either, just that morm never gave sufficient reason for his suspicion of him. As for what he's lately described as evidence:
-He doesn't give any reason why Volo out of those who didn't vote Nerwen is suspicious. All he said in that post with regards to Volo was something like "these people didn't vote for Nerwen, and Volo, [B]Menel[/], etc. are the most suspicious." No reason is given as to why said people were suspicious in that post (#175).

-The connection to Greenie: She suspected him and didn't give a reason, and thus it could be a wolf-on-wolf vote. OK, that could be evidence against Volo, but morm was engaging in the same thing as Greenie here, meaning that if her action is wolfish, so is his.

-The statement in Post 352 is something I've mentioned already, and only shows that Volo, wolf or not, doesn't want people to think of me as a wolf. It doesn't mean that he's a wolf, though.

OK, once again, I am not trying to say that Volo is innocent and should be trusted. All I'm saying is that morm's suspicion of him was not well-founded. In fact, he doesn't mention anything specific until Day 3. (Post 175, as I said, does not actually give a reason for why Volo is any more suspicious than the rest who didn't vote for Nerwen.

I will vote either morm or Sally toDay, depending on which one could get lynched.

And does no one really have anything to say about my theory?

I think your theory's a very big one, it's definitely well-thought out and I admit it does bring up some good points. While it's very possible that a wolf is among that group, I highly doubt you've nabbed all three wolves. Because it's what it is: a theory. And from my experience, I find most of the time theories are wrong. Personally, I disagree because none of those three are my top suspects. But if your theory does turn out right in the end, then major props to you.

Vote Count:

Farael: ++Sally (Sally 1)
Shasta: ++morm (Sally 1, morm 1)
Fea: ++Sally (Sally 2, morm 1)
Menel: ++morm (Sally 2, morm 2)
Kath: ++Menel (Sally 2, morm 2, Menel 1)
Mac: ++Volo (Sally 2, morm 2, Menel 1, Volo 1)
morm: ++Menel (Sally 2, morm 2, Menel 2, Volo 1)

So far, we're at a three-way tie. Let's be very careful with our voting, people.

Btw, I'll be voting no later than 10 minutes before deadline as I've got to be at class at the same time as the deadline.

EDIT: X-ed with Aganzir
