We still have Lúthien. She is still dreaming. The Cobbler has bought us a DAY to get a Wolf. We still can win this, village.

With this (likely) last post for toDAY, I shall vote:

No, Nilp. Not one of the three. I decided to experiment with the phantom's trick of using the best trick ordos have: make yourself into a target to keep eyes off of more important players. I figured if the wolves were settled on me being a cobbler, they'd kill somebody else off in the night: hopefully the cobbler. I didn't expect it to actually work, but it's worth a shot when you've got no clue what you're doing otherwise.

And finally, Kent, after two DAYs you answer my suspicions! Care to answer why you think us suspicious, though? Be you special?

I consider any one of you 3 capable of lynching me at the first oppurtunity you get.

Why didn't I respond earlier, what was I to respond to? Being your 'secret suspect,' it's like trying to respond to Sally saying she thinks I'm a rat. It's a pointless statement and would have been more pointless to respond. If you were trying to look like Luthien, if you are innocent you should give up, the baddies didn't buy it because I'm not one of them.

What does get me suspicious of you is your chivalry regarding Brinn yesterday. Saying you would not highlight your vote since Brinn said she was Finrod. It looks like a nice gesture, but it would be more beneficial to take care of Finrod at night, because Finrod can't protect himself and you can have an assured kill. You kill two for one...Nogrod gets lynched, because of your chivalry in saving Brinn, but if you believed she was Finrod it would be better to deal with Finrod at night. However, baddies got fooled by their own cobbler, hehe.

Hey I only just realised these are in alphabetical order!

Fea (6) - I don't know what to think about her. I find her toDay's post both innocentish and fishy. The explanation she gives makes sense, but it just crossed my mind that Fea is smart enough to pull that sort of thing off as a wolf and that it would be quite a clever move for a wolf - after all, behaving as weirdly as she has done doesn't quite look like what is generally considered wolvish behaviour.

Formendacil (7) - Still nothing to make my alarm bells ringing.

Gwath (10) - Under the reindeer.

Izzy (8) - Same thing. I'm interested in her yesterDay's vote that seems much like a throwaway to me.

Kent (4) - Innocentish still.

Lari (7) - Under the reindeer.

Nilp (7) - Kent brings up a good point about his voting yesterDay. I won't, however, shut out the possibility that he is just an ordo who believed what Brinn said about being Finrod. Other than that, I don't know. I need to look at him as well as those under-the-reindeer people.

Sally (10) - I'm beginning to feel uneasy about Sally. She seems slippery, probably because the little she says is very unspecific. Like these:

Kent still makes me uneasy, just in general. I don't know what exactly it is, but a lot of the things he's said have made me uneasy and while I don't want to kill him just to find out what he is I'm not going to complain if he ends up dead at the end of the Day, because I keep smelling a Kent....erm, rat.

Nog seems genuine and yet at the same time I know I can't read him, so when I trust Nog completely he's generally got something up his sleeve.

I actually just looked through Izzy's posts (was looking for a quote which in the end I don't think she even said, alas) and think she may be sliding down to my innocent list. We don't exactly see eye to eye, but that doesn't mean she's evil, and after seeing a couple things she's said I'll have to give her some more thought.
This sort of "s/he is kind of suspicious and kind of not" -comments are ideal for a baddie since they can be used either way in the future.

Shasta (10) - Nothing rings my alarm bells about him at the moment.

ToDay, if I have the time, I'll have a look at at least one of those people who are lurking under my reindeer. Probably Izzy, since she's the one of them who I feel most uneasy about - that partly because she escapes everyone's attention even though she's participating quite actively.

Ah yes, my vote yesterDay.

You could see it as a throw away, if you like.
I was waiting to see if Nilp highlighted his vote, then I would not have to vote for Brin in case she put all of her bonus votes into Nog. Since, I had no other reason to vote for Brin, as she hadn't been at the top of my suspect list at all. I didn't want to invest my bonus votes into Brin, then have Nilp highlight his vote - and Brin would've been overkilled, with one of us wasting our votes.

I was also waiting to see when/if Brin voted as I think most suspected her to - all her bonus votes onto Nog. Yet the clock reached :00 and there was no sign of her, so I thought she didn't make it in time. So I waited a little more, then submit my vote for my top suspect Sally. Then refreshed and saw her vote for Nog

So the wolves killed off the cobbler for us? Epic win for the village!

I would add Brinn but well she's dead now. I know it's entirely possible Gwath and Greenie could be baddie and defending me. But, out of the 3 (and 4 if you were to include Brinn) Lari and Sally have voted for me, but have not made me a serious candidate as they have not spent any bonus on me. Despite the persistent feeling of uneasiness I give them, and being Nilp's 'secret' suspect? I don't know it just feels like either one or two of them will lynch me with the snap of a finger if they have the oppurtunity.

Ok, that's all. Good night.
Just because I haven't spent any bonus votes on you doesn't mean I don't think you are a serious candidate. At the time I didn't want to use my bonus votes till later. And I still consider you a suspect. In fact this post is kind of suspicious in the whole "well obviously the people who suspect me are evil" thing. I don't like the way it sounds.

She then votes for Nog and adds bonus votes under the reason "I feel like I should be using some of my bonus votes toDay". Afterwards she says "I'm glad I made that list earlier then rushed around all day."

Unless I am mistaken, "probably guilty" and "really sure of someone's guilt" are not the same thing, nor are they entirely close to the same thing. Her statement of making the list earlier, gives an air of "meh, I'm not concerned".

Now, is she a confuzzled Ordo or one of the Three who succumbed to Nog's intentions of pressure to get them to use their bonus votes?
I don't know who is guilty, so therefore I called them "probably guilty". As for the whole "yay I had my list done" thing: I did it earlier, I ended up being away from my computer for most of the Day, came back with less than a half an hour to vote and such and was glad that I had the list done and my suspicions were still the same. And yes I did feel like I should use some bonus votes, it was just a feeling and I didn't like at all how I was feeling about Nog.

I'm a 'rat,' a 'secret suspect,' and I give general feelings of 'uneasiness' hardly inspire innocence, especially when it comes from four different people. It looks like an attempt to offer me up as a lynch possibility as soon as the chance arises. Basically I consider any three of you votes against me waiting to happen.

What you did not note is that I have not excluded Greenie and Gwath as possible wolves who support me. But at this stage in the game, I'm trying to narrow down the field as much as possible.

I will not vote for Formendacil, Fea, or Gwath, because them being evil just doesn't make sense. Maybe they are sneaks, that's possible, but the evidence does not line up for them being wolves.

I am going to take a close look at Greenie today, as I have not reached any kind of decision on her - same for Isabellyka. I just found it interesting how four different people say I make them feel uneasy, yet do not make any specifications how. One of those persons turned up a baddie, so why not suspect the other three? Also, you have taken what I said too far, because I did not say all three of you are automatically wolves, I said one or two of you are slyly offering me up as a possibility waiting for a chance to lynch me, and so yes, one or two of you I think is a baddie. As lets be honest I am probably one of the easiest targets left, I have the least bonus votes remaining and I make a significant number of the remaining villagers, for some unclarified reason 'uneasy.'

Kent, you say I'm a Wolf?

Go ahead, bring it on. I'll take you down with me.
