Actually, I didn't - it's in my notes. But I didn't think it worth mentioning because I thought it pretty inconsequential and in any event contrary to his other thoughts on me. I thought much the same about his comments on Inzil and one or two others. I focussed only on those things that I thought may possibly have provoked a Wolf kill. And I still disagree with you on this point. After Morsul, his main suspect was sally. With Morsul dead, he was likely to focus more on her toDay had he survived. And he explicitly stated that he was tempted to vote for Lari and that he would be looking more closely at her toDay. If anyone wanted to kill him because of something he said, then those two are the most likely in my view. But, as I said, I don't think that it's the strongest piece of evidence against either of them, quite apart from the fact that he may just have been killed because the Wolves spotted him as the Bear.

I agree that he was (contrary to McCaber's assertion) most certainly not a trailless kill. But I can see some merit in Fea's suggestion that he may have been killed because the trail was confusing or potentially misdirecting.

Well, I thought it cute. But I agree that it wasn't helpful. Happily, she has made rather more substantive contributions since.

Now, I hate to agree with what appears to be emerging as a concensus among the chatterati here, but I do rather agree that neither Greenie nor McCaber have done themselves any favours toDay. Greenie looks suspicious for backing away from her suspicion of Nog and for voting for sally after some suspicion had been voiced about her (including a suggestion by me that I might vote for her). And McCaber's vote for Noggie is another one of those 'out of the blue' votes that's as flimsily reasoned as he suggests Nog's vote was yeterDay. Actually, it's worse. And I am not sure that I like his suggestion that Boro was a no-track kill, when it clearly wasn't. It makes me wonder whether there might be something to look for in the trail after all.

I am still toying with the idea of voting for either Lari or sally, on the basis of yesterDay's Hakon vote. But Lari has not appeared toDay and sally has said little of consequence. So there is nothing more to go on toDay for either of them. Which may, I suppose, be a reason in itself to vote for one of them. But, if I do, which one?

Also, am I missing something or has Nerwen still not explained why she didn't vote yesterDay?

No, I didn't, sorry. I didn't vote because I couldn't get to a computer in time, that's all.

EDIT:X'd with SPM.

I finally feel better, I've been feeling LIKE AN ELEPHANT HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY FACE for the past few days.

I will be back with an actual post but I've just been getting really annoyed about this.
It's been noted, stay calm. Glad you're feeling better.

So it's Greenie and Fea who look to be on the gibbet?
I've been watching the interactions between Greenie and Nog for two days now trying to get the right feel of that situation. Nog has more of an innocent feeling. I didn't like the McCaber vote of his, but his explanantion looked believable. Then again, I don't think I've witnessed him as a wolf before, so it's possible I could be entirely wrong.
Greenie's Day 1 vote was understandable I guess, in that I'm pretty sure she's done it before. The Sally vote toDay is a bit more enigmatic. She didn't actually say much about Sally before she voted that I recall. And who's voted for Greenie thus far? Roa and Nog?
Fea makes me distinctly uneasy. Her vote yesterDay for Morsul couldn't help looking suspicious, coming just before DL, and then there was that bit about 'sealing this'. She stayed with the poetry for much of this Day. Then, when pressed, she gave the names of a few she found suspicious, but basically just seemed to go along with the crowd.
And McCaber- is he just busy, or what? I really don't like the look of toDay's vote.

Decisions, decisions.....

x/d with SPM, Lottie, and Nerwen

All right. Partly on a gut feeling, partly what I've said.

I voted Morsul with the noted gusto because the top two on the chopping block were him and Sauce, and I preferred to see Morsul go than Saucie.

As such, I should add that I would much prefer you not vote for me.

I'm here, I'm here, sorry for being so late.

I voted Morsul because I thought he was most suspicious. I was not bandwagoning. I was totally surprised when I saw that Hakon, Fea, and Boro jumped on it.

Now I don't know who to vote. Sally, Fea, Lari, Nerwen, Greenie...I think they all look guilty...I have no idea which is worse.
