I was suspicious of Morm for piggy-backing on Mira's vote for Rikae, though I'm thinking of retracting since Mira said that her vote wasn't certain to begin with. Sally said that he made her squirm and Zil had a few questions for Morm, but voted for him anyway in his next post.

Am I reading this wrong? It sounds like you're considering backing off your morm vote because Mira might back off her vote for me... what does that have to do with morm? Just wondering.

Rikae · 08-15-2009, 06:02 PM

And - phantom shows up and asks why morm is suspicious, and immediately both Alona and Sally talk about switching? Not that I'm determined to see morm lynched - I find him only a bit suspicious - but that is just weird, weird weirdness.

I'd already stated in my vote post that I may retract later, since I voted relatively early in the Day.

Rikae · 08-15-2009, 06:14 PM

Hm, well, for all the reasons I've listed before (take that, whoever summarizes the votes toMorrow! Haha!) and because I heard she was once unkind to a capybara:

++alonariel

The capybara (Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris) is an amazing rodent. I first encountered a capybara in 1983, and I have never forgotten the fascinating creature with it's delightful name: capybara. The sound of it just rolls off your tongue: Capybara, capybara, capybara, see? When people ask my favorite animal, I enjoy answering "capybara", because they are bound to think "capybara? What the heck is a capybara?" and I can score points for randomness and uniqueness and perhaps win a pet capybara of my very own.

Rikae · 08-15-2009, 06:17 PM

And because I've seen confusion created by my votes-with-jokes-included before, I'll explain:
It is not a joke vote - it is a vote based on analysis and suspicion outlined in previous posts, and the fact that alona's responses have not reduced that suspicion - (in fact, they have a smooth and slippery feel about them) - which I chose to post in conjunction with a joke. There you go.

Okay, because for a sec I thought you were trying to hint to the wolves that you were the rat - the cobbler, in effect. But I respect your vote, even if it does leave me a little blue.

I thought Morm for suspicious for jumping on a bandwaggon so early on--

Wait, scratch that. You're right. It has nothing to do with him. If I do retract, it'll be after he's had a chance to post and answer things first, and then see where things stand.

Nienna · 08-15-2009, 06:06 PM

The Non-Hakon/Pitchwife voters:

Brinn: not very much to go by… she isn’t ringing any alarm bells

Dury: I wish she would post more

Form: Has said a lot but am not sure if he has really said anything

Zil: He is making me a little uneasy. It may be just the way he was defending himself but something rubs me the wrong way. I’ll keep my eyes on him.

Lommy: has been having fun with Downers without us… but nothing suspicious on the game front

Mac: Seems to be making a lot of sense in what he posts

Mira: Made some mistakes but she doesn’t feel like a baddie

Nerwen: I’m trying to remember anything she’s said… except backwards writing and am coming up sort

Nessa: See Nerwen - backwards writing

The Phantom: I have no idea… but likes my word clouds so I temporarily like him if only for superficial reasons

the phantom · 08-15-2009, 06:29 PM

Nienna- you didn't include my Day 1 vote. And I like that cloud. Thanks.

Okay, so, Morm...

*thinks*

Nah, not going to vote for him today.

And I can't possibly vote for Brin after that post she made including lyrics sung by yours truly. Yeah. We should just let her win after that.

Hmm... I'm tempted to repeat my vote from yesterday for Rikae. Unless she's the Bear she aint going to live long anyway. After her constant attempts to discredit my Bear-should-kill-Wolves-and-Cobbler plan, and after her opening self vote ("Hi there! Cobbler here!"), the Bear has got to suspect her at least a little bit of being on the opposing side and I can't imagine him resisting taking a shot at her for long.

But again that's an equally good reason not to bother voting for her, because why waste a vote when she stands a good shot of being Night-killed anyway?

So maybe I wouldn't mind throwing a fresh log onto the lynching pile.

Any volunteers?
