When that stops happening, I'll stop assuming.

Wow. I'm impressed. You've done homework.

Excellent. That's one more person that will understand references to old villages.

So yeah... I'm definitely not voting for Strongbow today. I'm pleased with him right now.

Due to the earliness of the Day, I have nothing useful to say, and due to the lateness of the day, I have nothing funny to say...

...and now, just the minute I wrote that, Rikae asked me in all earnesty whether I think the phantom is drunk.

Anyway, a quick list of all the people who have posted so far, and then off to bed:

Boro - probably innocent.
Gwath - can't tell, slightly leaning innocent.
Aganzir - I'm not alarmed by her, but Rikae is, so I'm wary.
Sally - hasn't warmed up yet, leaning innocent.
Fea - another one that feels innocent-ish.
Nogrod - feels innocent, which is alarming.
Lari - newbie, therefore auto-assumed-innocent for first few days.
Brinniel - can't tell, but Rikae told me to be careful about her.
Kath - is here... and gone again.
phantom - very probably innocent.
tgwbw - amusing, but maybe more critical about our performances than about his syntax.
Menel - too careful and thus suspicious.
Ilya - probably innocent.
Strongbow - haven't played with him yet and I don't yet know what to make of him.

I wouldn't - not until at least you play the vital part in lynching two critics, yet continue to survive day after day, whilst we can't ever find the 3rd.

Resist the urge all you want, you'll only be delaying the inevitable end. That end being, when Day 3 comes and we're dragging our feet for ideas, because we've been spending all our energy in trying to ignore tp, we will start begging him to give us a plan. Luckily, tp doesn't hold grudges and he will certainly rub it in our faces that we caved in, but probably will ablige.

It's a physical and mental impossibility to ignore tp, he makes it this way. We can accept that early on, and work together for ideas, or we could waste our enery trying to block out his tune, when deep down you know you're listening to every note he sings and break down by Day 3? Which would you have?

Also, as for the cobbler, their last night information will be passed to the critics regardless of whether they die today.

True but if left alive for too long they might also be dangerous for the wolves. After all they have one fellow innocent to talk to in private, and if they both survive long and come out the village gets two known innocents for one.
However the soulmate role also means that a seeming connection between (living) people doesn't automatically mean they're wolves.

Mith can the cobbler dream of themself?

Exactly my thoughts. :P

So

Guilty
Mac. It's just that those two comments make me feel uneasy.
Nog. I don't know - there's just something I don't like. His question/accusation against Gwath was rather bad. Besides I think it was phrased rather like an accusation, and later he accused Gwath of taking it too seriously. Also I don't like his 'double lynch on day 1 would be riskier for the critics than innocents' logic.

Innocent
tgwbs is listed as innocent because he's too funny to be lynched today.
Boro. He's here for now although my opinion is subject to change if need be.
Gwath. After last game I didn't imagine I'd be doing this, but he looks quite innocent. Besides Nog's question/accusation wasn't the best one I've seen.
Ilya. Doesn't give off any suspicious vibes yet.
Brinn. I'm still somewhat uncertain if I like her but she's on my innocent list for now. At least there hasn't really been anything that I would have disagreed with her on yet.

Neither
phantom. I won't concentrate on him for now.
Gollum
Menel. I'm not that worried but I'm not sure enough to label him as innocent either.
Fea. She hasn't got a role on day one.
Cailíneomer. Amusing for sure though.
sally
Lari
Kath
Shasta
Bowie
. I've been humming Life on Mars? in my head the whole day but I guess it's rather my own fault for coming up with that nickname.

Okay I've read through the thread and am on page four now so let's see.

I think sally is being her normal self (which of course indicates nothing). Usually she doesn't have any real accusations on day one yet.

What about me Fea?

I just couldn't figure it out without checking, and I was being a little bit lazy, and (I'm also at work) patrons came in and needed me so I got distracted.

Agan gets a free pass for making me want to sing 'Be Prepared' really loudly.
