Yeah, I did think Kuru was kind of weird about that.

Hmm...first Aganzir and now Firefoot. Those are surprising choices. I wonder what is the wolves' motivation behind this. Are they seeking the seer? Are they just random kills? Or is there some other reason? I should probably take a look at Firefoot's posts from yesterDay and see if there are any clues; I always find it quite difficult to figure out the reason behind a kill.

I think the voting yesterDay was rather disastrous. It seems some players voted for others with such confidence that they were convinced that their suspect was evil. I don't know about the rest of you, but while I do start to figure out my suspects by Day 2, I'm rarely completely convinced of someone's guilt that early on. It's typical to have some feuding players at each other's throats, but there seemed to be a lot of people especially bloodthirsty. There were several on the lynching line, so even those who voted for self-preservation had plenty to choose from, so I can hardly see that being used as an excuse.

Also, there was a ridiculous amount of voting in the final minutes...I know I'm guilty of that as well. Shame on me; I should slap myself for not voting earlier as I said I would. I admit I tried, but I sat on my vote post for about twenty minutes as I kept changing my mind and retyping my vote between Firefoot and Sally. I'm so indecisive.

Well obviously we shouldn't treat Kuru like a god (or the godfather) and follow his every word. You're right; just because he's innocent doesn't mean he can't be wrong. But at least we know now we can trust his judgment and for that reason I'd be more likely to take his words into account than an unknown player.

You're not indecisive darling, you're evil.

But to be honest you lead my suspicion-list to the point I'm almost confident about your guilt. Your defence of your voting-action helped me a lot.

Those twenty minutes "started" from the situation where I had six votes and Form, Greenie & Kent had one each. You thought then whether to give one vote to Firefoot or Sally. Okay.

About fifteen minutes before the deadline Kuru gets six votes (Me 7, Kuru 6, the rest one each). You continue changing your mind and retyping your vote, whether to give it to Firefoot or Sally...

Two minutes / one minute before DL Sally gets three votes, Kent receives six and Kuru three more... And you continue on thinking whether Firefoot or Sally is worth your one vote to vote at the last minute?

Give me a break Brinn...

I have seen this attitude before. It's wolf-behaviour. It's disinterested. You had no intention whatsoever to influence the outcome of the voting because - well, Kuru or me, we both fitted you. You casted the safest vote possible in that situation - and if you had to ponder something about your vote it was probably about which one would look more innocent...

But the real point is: you were not interested in the outcome of the voting. During the last twenty minutes you didn't post even once to take part in the discussion. Why? Because it was such a momentous task to decide whether to give one vote to Firefoot or Sally - not to talk about all that retyping-effort...
