Oh no not more bad vibes...

And why do peopel show up just when I really can't take any more?

[Mithalwen]

++Nogrod

Vodka is a barbarous drink...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Mith, how come you're voting for Nogrod if he's been saying the same things as Mac, whom you claim to agree with?

++Annu

I still think Rikae's bad, but there's a vote for Annu (whom I also think is bad) already and it's likely I won't be back today; Shark Tooth has got a mild case o' scurvy! (OOC: Food poisoning. )

[Eönwë]

It be a quiet day... anyway:

-Legless Sally Dawkins - Quiet and not giving away much. She seems innocent however (usually she posts more as a wolf).
-Puffy Shirt Rikae - Seems generally innocent to me, unless the whole Rikae-Shasta thing was a[n anti-]cover. She generally seems to speak sense, even though I don't agree with her about the Mira lynching.
-Pirate Lommy the Infected - To be honest I have no idea.
-Gangrenous Inziladun Jones - He speaks wisely, but also very carefully.
-Pirate Boromir the Malformed - Though I disagree with him about the Mira lynching, I can see where he's coming from and it makes sense.
-Stutterin’ Wilwa Scab - She be votin' fer me without a good reason, but she always findsme suspicious for no reason.
-Shark Tooth Shasta - Seems like he could be genuine, and just an ordinary innocent. There is my conspiracy theory, but I haven't got much evidence tto back it up so I'll leave it for now.
-High-Pitched Annu - I don't see why others find him suspicious.
-Snifflin’ Mac Sparrow - A lot o' banter at the beginning, yet he also posts some other helpful posts, and others that show what he thinks. I also like his stance on the Mira lynch.
-Almost-Blind Nerwen - Until proven otherwise, I'm trusting Greenie, so for now I'm putting her under innocent.
-Poop Deck Kath - Another one of 'em quiet ones. She needs to post more.
-Cowerin' Gwath Slasher - Hasn't said much of substance at all. I don't like it. He is hibernating under Rudolph.
-Pirate Nogrod the Fashionably Late - I like his view on the Mira lynching, but he has been unusually reserved this game, and hasn't been attacking the quiet ones as he usually does, which makes me suspicious.
-Ham-Hands Izzy - Hasn't posted enough for me to get an idea.
-Short Ruth Mithril - If an aggressor then very cunning. Seems quite sleek and not sticking out yet not suspicious either. I like her thoughts today on the lynching yesterday and what we could have done. Could be either.

Hmm... I can't think of much more to say- we have much less to go on than normal.

edit: x-ed wi' Wilwa, who be stealin' me vote.

[Eönwë]

And so, I'm sadly goin' t'vote for me last fellow monke'. Shame that:

++Gwathagor

He's been going with the flow a lot, and not made many points of his own. He is maintaining a low profile even with the number of posts he has, and though he talks a lot, he seems to not say much of substance. I shall have to fill up the powder on my own.

[Isabellkya]

Ah yes. I forgot the words lack of.

I will rephrase it.

Would you be vocally not-regretting your choice, if the topic had not become a fiery issue toDay?


Sally -> Shasta
Nog -> Annu
Boro -> Nog
Rikae -> Sally
Mith -> Nog (2)
Shasta -> Annu (2)
Wilwa -> Gwath
Eonwe -> Gwath (2)

Gwath, Annu, Nog 2. Sally, Shasta 1.


I hope I'm not the only one going... o.O @ the votes.

Arr. 'Tis a shame, lad. I were down wi' th' scurvy a for'night ago. Leastways, I reckon 'twas scurvy. Me lips was bleedin', anyhow.

Now who to vote?

Hmmn. I be thinkin' Rikae might be a bad 'un... but then Shasty don't like her, and I be none too easy wi' he, neither.

Likewise, yon striker Gwathagor be lookin' a bit sus'pic-u-ous. But Eön ha' voted him, and I reckon he be a sneaky 'un heself.

An' 'twould be a famous joke if Nogrod an' Snifflin' Mac was in't t'gether. Stranger things ha' happened at sea.

EDIT:X'd wi' the quartermaster.

[Thinlómien]

Nerwen, why discount the possibility of wolf-on-wolf so quickly?

I think I'll vote Rikae or Gwath.

Shiver me timbers! Food poisoning can be rather unpleasant. Hope you feel better soon.
I have some deep reservations about Rikae myself. The previous Day she first brought the case against Shasta that seemed too overblown. She then climbed on the Mira band wagon, and toDay has voted Sally for what she admits is nothing more then 'bad vibes'.

I was uneasy about the way he piled on Shasta.

I was simply responding to Boro, who seemed to be insinuating that anyone who didn't see his logic in voting Mira was utterly clueless.
If you want to read more into it than that , it's your affair.
I believe at this point my choice will likely be Annu (again) or Rikae.

Boro is unreadable at this point. I still don't buy the push for Mira when there were more constructive uses of our votes, but he seems to have defended himself well. Still could be evil, but I'm not willing to go for him now.

Nogrod makes sense to me. He appears to raise the hackles of those who know him well, but then again they could be the baddies for all I know.

Wilwa I'm on the fence about. Her votes don't seem all that well explained, and she hasn't been around all that much.

Izzy. Just like last game. That time I knew she was innocent, and she gives the same vibe here. Which means nothing, of course.

Ëonwë is a tough one. Could be anything.

Gwath: as I said, I didn't really care for the Mira thing much. Otherwise, I haven't seen much of him.

Shasta I'm pretty well convinced is innocent. If evil, he's been awfully brazen and careless.

Mac doesn't ring any bells. Seems sensible.

Mith is another one who feels innocent.

Sally seems a bit flippant in general. I'm not sure how to take her.

Lommy is utterly grey. Hasn't posted much, but seems to make sense when she does.

Nerwen. I know from experience how devious a Nerwolf can be. The only guarantee of her innocence comes from Greenie, who for all we know could be a co-conspirator. Might want to keep that in mind.

[Kath]

I'm feeling not so great toDay, really worn out for some reason, so I think I'm just going to look at the people who have votes so far. This late in the Day it seems stupid to add yet another candidate in anyway.

So:

Gwath - is it just me or has he not actually said anything toDay and yet has accumulated two votes? From Eonwe and wilwa who are both voting for him for slipping under the radar ... pot kettle hmm?

Annu - firstly, sorry, he from now on! Interesting post. Defends his vote pretty well, calls it hasty but not ill-considered. Would like to see more reasoning about his vote for Shasta then since he said he'd look at him in much more detail. Ah we get: I still can't get rid off my suspicions about Shasta but will delay any action against him for now. His little skirmish with Rikae shouldn't perhaps weigh so much in my scales but that's the most tangible thing I've found thus far. Though things have calmed down since. Not much of a case really there. I was under the impression that it was what he said in his original 'pros and cons' post that caused Annu to be suspicious of him rather than the argument with Rikae. Would really like to see some more reasoning on this, especially if he's not going to be around much tomorrow.

Nog - now, this argument. I got very bored reading the posts with statistics in for the simple reason that I just couldn't follow them. So I want to simplify the Nog/Boro/Mac thing. Is it that basically, Nog wanted to lynch someone other than Mira in order to have more of a chance of getting a wolf? Mac also agrees with Nog on that ... but then seems to change his mind. But Boro thinks it was right to lynch Mira. Is that right? Looking at the intensity with which this argument has been conducted toDay I would say it's likely that most if not all of these three are innocent. Time after time we see a huge blow up over something that is simply between two paranoid innocents, or possibly three here. Given the players involved, however, I think it's possible there might be a wolf hopping on the argument bandwagon. It would have to be a bold wolf who could cope with the attention but that's why I said given the players involved.

sally - voted Shasta very early because she knew she might not have another chance to vote and because he was her top suspect. That's fine, but I can't anywhere find her reasoning for why he's her top suspect! If I had that I'd be much happier about her.

Shasta - votes Annu but again no reasoning!

Hmm. I don't know what to make of this. Annu I'm worried about because I would really like to see some thought through reasoning from him on why he finds Shasta suspicious because to me it feels like he's riding on Rikae's coat tails. Despite that I think he is more suspicious than her because while she may have (in my opinion) reacted overly strongly to what Shasta said I think Annu jumped on that far too quickly. I would be tempted to vote Shasta for the lack of reasoning. If you've got long enough to vote you've got long enough to write even a short sentence on why that person ... same goes for sally actually. That said Shasta I thought looked pretty innocent yesterDay so I won't vote for him.

Oh that's it, I'm arguing myself in circles now so I'm voting and going to bed:

++ANNU

Just still haven't got any worthwhile reasoning on his suspicion of Shasta, despite a post in which he had good reasoning for some suspicion or non-suspicion of many others.

[Thinlómien]

I just wrote a rather lengthy paragraph discussing Rikae's latest post and then realised saying the stuff aloud isn't exactly smart whatever she is. She's giving me a headache, though.

Boro I must say you make a convincing case against Nogrod. I agree his resourcefulness concerning the kill reasons is a bit baffling and it's good you brought it to the spotlight (I had forgotten it). I also like what you say about his "them" thing. However, I'm still hesitant to think he's evil. I think he could have done all of that as a baddie.

++GWATHAGOR

for being a rotten fish.


edit: xed with Zil

[Thinlómien]

Zil, Eönwë - as for the Annunfuiniel issue, I kind of got confused/forgetful/whatever because he's really a she (unless someone impersonates her on Facebook ) but is just to be called a he in this game because of the masculine role....

This comment cries a wolf to me, but as it's a newbie I'm a bit hesitant to judge... nevertheless I'm watching Annu now.

Guess my newbie status won't save me anymore...

Well I'd say it's pretty normal - no one wants to lynch newbies on Day1 but you have to stop being so nice at some point so that newbie wolves wouldn't win by default.

Well I can't quite back it up rationally, it's more like a gut-feeling. But it's maybe that he doesn't seem particularily innocent but the kill choices don't look too characteristic of him either... I don't know.

I'm getting more and more suspicious of Rikae. Don't exactly know why. That Sally-vote looks a tad too easy. I have to vote soon and I will probably vote her or Gwath or Sally (yes I know I just said Rikae's Sally-vote looks too easy). I'm most inclined to vote Rikae but I won't vote her if there's to be no support, I think I don't want Nogrod dead just yet, nor Annu.

[Nerwen]

I be needin' to get some shut-eye now.

++Rikae.

EDIT:X'd wi' th' infected.

[Rikae]

I think this might be an opportune time to mention that if you lynch me, Sally dies too.

If you leave me for the aggressors toNight (and they decide to go for it) my pick will be Lommy.

[Boromir88]

well Inearly voted you for being dim ~Mith

Well you know..."Why youth? We already have enough youth. Why not a fountain of smart?"

but fish-slapping may be more appropriate ..

As long as it's tilapia

Well I can't quite back it up rationally, it's more like a gut-feeling. But it's maybe that he doesn't seem particularily innocent but the kill choices don't look too characteristic of him either... I don't know~Lommy

Kills don't seem like him? Yet, he seems to provide answers to why they were killed?

I think what Rikae says makes sense, but right now I find it more telling that Nogrod gave a reason for Eomer's death and two others (Mac and Lommy) came in for support as if to say case closed...that is usually a telling sign of wolf (or mutineer behavior).

And of course Nogrod's assured-ness of the matter, usually he's debating theories and possibilities, but not this time...nope Eomer was killed because he's usually a sensible player who can be a dangerous voter...the end.

Also, he rather sneakily blames me for it, yet also makes a statement that I'm innocent:

So they took Boro's explanation for Eomer's behaviour at face value and thought he was a bored ordo and would thus not help us after being dead with his "most likely a goodie"-status?~Nogrod

Ahh...so I'm to blame for Eomer's death? And 'they' took my advice...which Nogrod happens to clearly distinguish me as being separate from 'them.' He's right about that, I'm not 'them,' but Nogrod's assuredness regarding Eomer's death and 'them' (the mutineers) is suspicious.

Also, if you think about it...Day 1 McCaber, Day 2 Mira...we've tried the quite thing, I'm assuming it hasn't worked so far...maybe we've chosen the wrong ones, but there's something up between that group of 3 who agree about Eomer's death. No one should overlook that.

Huh?~Rikae

Oh just saying that I'm a male, and you can say I'm intense, aggressive, whatever...I don't mind.

But that's because that actually is usually my tone, I'm a pretty intense person...most of the times it's just because I like to give everyone (including friends) grief over the silliest things, and other times I seriously am frustrated and that shows. That's just my behavior, so it's ok to call me intense, over-the-top, maybe dim and delusional because that's me.
