Right then, to make it two Reps I guess I need to vote:

++LOMMY for Rep

I have to say that I won't be back until about 6pm my time tomorrow due to school activities but once back I will be around pretty much continuously.

If anyone has opinions on the lynch Gil or double lynch ideas or has any other theories/suggestions please put them forward. It's prompting conversation which is fantastic.

I think lynching Gil is the smartest thing we can do right now. I don't think he's the wolf, but since I don't think there's any chance he'll be eliminated at Night, this is the only way to know for sure. And like Lommy said, by lynching Gil we will have all players participating so that there should definitely be a rep toMorrow. This will give us an extra Day to figure things out, which is something we definitely need.

Hmm...so Kath is already a rep. If we all agree to lynch Gil, then we don't need any more than one rep, do we? I mean, I think it's better to have less reps. Because the fewer players doing the actual lynching, the less likely it'll be that a wolf is involved to screw things up.

EDIT: X-ed with Kath. Never mind then.

I've never been fond of double lynches (unless a known wolf is involved) because it's too risky, especially at this late stage. If our two lynchees turn out innocent, then the wolf wins the game.

I almost took back what I said about the number of reps, thinking that if we agreed on lynching Gil, one of the reps would definitely vote for him and if the other was the wolf and didn't vote him making a double lynch instead, we'd find her out and be able to lynch her with three left toMorrow. But then I remembered that we have to vote for reps first and with only three left, no rep would be voted in. So I don't take back what I said after all.

Please correct me if I'm at all wrong. I'm thinking in numbers and it's confusing me.

Perhaps I should make a third vote for someone in order to eliminate the possibility of a double lynch. But if one of our reps is the wolf, what if I end up giving the wolf more voting power? Then we're still headed for trouble.

This is all giving me a headache. I need to go away for a little while and think.

Meh, it looks like I'll be talking to myself for the rest of tonight. A pity, as I'd like someone to actually converse with..

I've been doing some research...I'll be posting more shortly.

I need to pause from my research because it's almost deadline and I haven't made a decision yet.

If I give one of the reps a third vote, it'd be for Lommy. Actually both reps don't look very suspicious, but taking an even closer look I feel most confident of Lommy's innocence.

Let's see...if I were to vote Lommy, here's what could happen:

1) no double lynch
2) she votes for Gil, which is something most people seem to agree on, and he gets lynched
3) she votes for someone else for some reason. If she's a wolf, the village is doomed. If she's innocent, there's a possibility she voted for the wolf, but we can't know for sure.

If I vote for someone else entirely and keep two equal reps:

1) possible double lynch
2) both reps agree to vote for Gil and he gets lynched
3) both reps agree to vote for someone else and they get lynched
4) they decide to take the risk and go for a double lynch
5) if one of them is a wolf and Gil is agreed to be killed, there's a good chance the wolf will turn it into a double lynch last minute dooming the village. In order to do this, the wolf rep would have to vote last.

Grr...I'm out of time. Are we actually even planning to lynch Gil? A lot of this is based on the idea that we are, but I don't know if anything has been officially agreed upon.

++Lommy for rep

I don't understand why everyone feels so much better about two reps...this seems more logical and less risky to me.

Gah, my internet flaked out on me for a good few minutes and now I'm late so I don't even know if my vote counts at all.
