I'm going to be a bit dafter for a moment than I normally prefer to be, and say I don't get what you're saying here. If I understand your argument aright, you seem to be saying it's a bad thing that people don't vote for you--they want to, but they don't.

I'm not exactly sure how this is a good thing for THEM and not for you. It is, after all, the life of Kent2010 that is NOT going to die as a result.

Unless you're the cobbler, there's no reason you'd want to be voted for, that I can perceive. If you're innocent, you wouldn't want votes--that would mean the village wasn't focusing on the Wolves. And if you're a wolf you wouldn't want the votes, because, well, you're a wolf--you don't plan on getting lynched, but getting maximum number of villagers killed.

Maybe you're just missing a necessary negative condition somewhere, or else I'm just misreading you (I should be abed), but as it stands, your argument is making no sense to me--which has not been the norm the past couple Days.

I'm saying I'm not hiding behind my status, but I think others might use my status to hide behind it. By either looking nice in "I can't lynch Kent today, he's a newbie" or by using the excuse itself to give a reason to not vote for me..."Oh that's just Kent making a newbie mistake."

And maybe the wolves feel I will be an easy target later in the game to go after? I might get a courtesy pass the first couple days, but by that 3rd or 4th day I imagine it's a lot easier for wolves to convince everyone to vote out the newbie.

Sting A Surprising Tale.

Well, this certainly is getting even more interesting.

All right, I'll be out with it: Kent is on my secret suspicion list. I've been drawing inferences on possible interactions, and whether I go Kuru - Firefoot or Nogrod - Form he's more often than not one of the links in the chain.

Not to mention that my other (secret) interpretation of the NIGHT kill points to him.

But coming out of the blue can be rather suspicious. (Oooh...) I'll raise the relevant posts.

Vote count as of now:
Greenie -->Nog
Fea(4) -->Nog*
Shasta -->Form
Form -->Grennie
Lari -->Kent

*Is Fea's vote four votes or five? I got confused when it was said that Nog had five votes because I thought Fea voted five times but then saw that Greenie had voted Nog too...bah maybe I'm just confused.

Anyway so if Fea counts as five then:
Nog 6, Form, Greenie, and Kent 1

If Fea 4 then:
Nog 5, Form, Greenie, and Kent 1

It should count as five. One for writing down the name which is your regular vote, plus the four bonus votes.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Okay, I'm taking a lot of flak for the seer comment I made yesterday... fair enough.

But if I was a wolf, why would I bother making such a comment...? I'm not sure what point that would serve either, unless you all are just accusing me of plain sloppiness. That would be a reason that my post would make me seem wolfish to you... but no one's mentioned that. So it must seem odd on other grounds. You say an ordo wouldn't expose the seer like that... well, if I was a wolf, and Kuru was also a wolf, and Agan got Kuru lynched, I would take out Agan that night in case she was the seer. Just saying. I didn't feel like I was exposing anything.

Or it could be a very clever bluff.

Or I'm the cobbler.

But none of those things are true. And I don't have anything else to say about that. I've already explained myself, and if you don't like it, then you don't like it. Fine.

Anyway... sorry I didn't get my vote in earlier like I announced - the internet went down... but I'm back so it's okay. I've read all the posts, but don't have time to go through them in detail, and nothing in particular has stuck out to me, so I'm just going to go with my earlier plan:

++Nogrod
