all those times watching the minutes ticking away into seconds and wondering what in Arda it will take for you to make a decision..... and then you claim dithering is a matter of principle rather than a lifestyle choice....

It only takes others to say what they are going to do.

I could ramble on this a full essay but to cut it short I'd say that it's not always wise to vote for the one you suspect the most as that vote might A) turn out insignificant (not affect anything) or B) be downright disasterous leading to the lynching of someone you think innocent. So one needs to know the situation before one votes. That's why I also call for people to declare their intent at the last moments so that a reasonable discussion could be held at those final moments of decision. Sadly there are always people who just appear out from the blue and vote at those same last minutes. They are the ones that make the voting so hard.

Of course I'm not always able to be online at the deadline and I guess I have voted once or twice something like fifteen minutes before the DL as the situation has been clear...

Why did Boro forget THE Ka?~Rikae

Not sure what you mean? I haven't gotten to Ka yet, nor Form, nor Eonwe, nor several others. I'm getting there.

Nogrod:

Votes:
Day 1- The Sixth
Day 2- Kitanna
Day 3- Mithalwen

Nogrod's votes worry me. On Day 1 he votes for The Sixth after saying in post 120:

I'm afraid that with The Sixth we get an easy wolf-victory - as well as with Nerwen.

He says he wants to avoid ties (or letting the wolves tie it), but that doesn't mean he isn't a clever wolf that didn't tie the vote so he could look innocent.

And Day 2 he casts a meaningless vote for Kitanna, on Day 2 there were a lot of tack on votes against EW, and Nogrod chose not to. Nogrod was in the position where his vote didn't matter. As an interesting note Nogrod suspects (and ends up voting for Kitanna) and today Kitanna theorizes Nogrod is a wolf, based on Durelin's posts. What to make of that?

Like Agan, I feel less sure about Nogrod, a lot will depend upon how this day, and possibly the next turn out (or well mostly when we find out about Mith's identity).

sally

Votes:
Day 1- The Sixth
Day 2- Elf-Warrior
Day 3- Nilp

And like Nogrod, I think Mith's identity would reveal a lot. On Day 1 she admits to joking about Nerwen being a hacker, and ends up voting for The Sixth. Mith votes for sally because of her vote for The Sixth. Then yesterday sally casts the last vote for Nilp and not Mithalwen.

Nerwen is a dead wolf, I'm highly suspicious of Mith, and sally is connected to both of them. sally, why Nilp and not Mith?

THE Ka:

Votes:
Day 1- Rikae
Day 2- Eonwe
Day 3- No vote?

In post 61 and 71 she stresses that her vote will be random. Overly defending yourself? Then her Day 1 vote is for Rikae, and she admits she could come up with better reasoning. Of course who ever has good reasoning, on Day 1, to vote for someone? I just don't like in her two previous posts she says her vote will be random.

And on Day 2 she defends Eonwe's vote (for Mith, after Eomer's on Day 1) but ends up voting for Eonwe in the very same post. I want to hear some more thoughts about Ka, because she sounds to just be talking herself into a circle and confusing herself (see post 190), but I don't like her two votes. Then she doesn't vote on Day 3. Ka's got me utterly confused. On one hand she is voting safe (she avoids the bandwagon on Day 1 and voted for Eonwe early), but would a wolf not vote? Now I'm talking myself into a circle when it comes to THE Ka.
