Good night, and good luck!

This...this has to be one of the most blatant pieces of bandwaggoning I have ever seen... Vanilwuffin, dear, if you're trying not to look suspicious, this is not the way to do so.

EDIT: xed with Vanilwuffin herself

Uhm, I know. I am exhausted, and really annoyed, and don't really know what else to do. I either vote for someone I really find suspicious, knowing full well that no one else will vote for them and therefore wasting my vote. Or I bandwagon a little and use my vote for someone I do find suspicious, and maybe it'll be a bit more useful.

I vote a wolf. I look bad. I don't vote the seer. I look bad. I don't bandwagon. I look bad. I do bandwagon. I look bad. I vote for someone I barely find suspicious. I look bad. I vote for someone I do find suspicious. I look bad.

I'm thinking no matter, I'm gonna look bad. And the sucky thing is I'm really not bad!

Uh. I know I should shut up now cause I'm probably not making things any better, but I'm really at a loss to what I should be doing right now...

x'ed with Lottie again.

Out of the 5 BG voters (I'm counting Lottie technically in there, since she helped push it along), 2 are under some real suspicion, and of the 2 I think Para looks worse (I said earlier that the cross post thing with Shasta made him look better). I think it's a pretty logical vote.

No, or I'd have indicated that the console had been sabotaged or something like that.

"Getting slammed by work" happens to be a direct quote from Mira herself.

—Also: the spirits of Sallymorph and myself have come to an understanding in the afterlife, and she may be helping out with tallies and so forth.

The difference between yesterDay's voting and toDay's is that toDay Paranoia doesn't look nearly as bad as BG did. In the case of BG, it's difficult for me to see how anyone could have backed away from voting her under those circumstances without having some knowledge she was innocent.

At least there's an ordinary explanation for one occurrance on this ship.

I backed away!!! I took a couple minutes to look more closely at what she was saying, and at the two lists in question, and I was able to understand what she was saying. Once I got that it had just been a mistake I wasn't going to vote for her since that had been the only point against her. I could have taken the easy way out, shut my mouth and went a long with it, but I didn't.

Anyway. I'm going for real now, I really can't stay up any longer or I'll be exhausted for work in the morning.

x'ed with Izzy and Rikae

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Here and reading. I got to Pitch's #42 in my analysis of him before I got sucked into something else and am just now getting back, so that will get done tomorrow.

Right now Wilwa's defenses of herself are seeming more and more impassioned and frustrated, and while normally I'm a sucker for the frustrated innocent defense (having been a frustrated innocent more than once ), I still can't help but think this is morphish frustration rather than innocent. Barring anything truly damning, I'll probably be voting for Wilwa today.

[Rikae]

I have to agree with you on Wilwa's defense, Shasta. She's definitely second highest on my suspect list, but I'm kind of hoping the Assassin already has or will check her. If Izzy's guilty, that points to Wilwa quite nicely (look at her comments on the BG-wagoners), and either an innocent or guilty Izzy would shed light on the BG wagon.

I haven't honestly given a lot of thought to Izzy, though Rikae does bring up some interesting points.

However, I think Wilwa is still tops on my list.

Already modfired, by request.

[Rikae]

I'm not liking this Paranoia wagon. There really seems to be little decent reasoning behind it, and a very morphish looking Wilwa made it a wagon at all (very quickly and eagerly, even). I don't really find Pitch morphish - what he's doing here does seem a bit like what a tasty apple pastry might, though, in order to deflect suspicion from the really morphish. I will really have to look closer at the interaction between Pitch and Wilwa, because the Paranoia votes seem almost coordinated. Like I said, more cobbler/morphish than co-morphish.

[Rikae]

Oh man - I wondered why I had never noticed Mira was playing until she was modfired! Oy.

[Rikae]

I'm getting an uneasy feeling about Izzy, and also seeing what appears
to be a link between her and... someone else. But we shall see.
I do have a history of pretty much always suspecting her, so I'll
have to do my best to be objective here:

Day One

#52
Banter, and this (I guess in response to Eomer's talk of wolves not
drawing attention to themselves on Day 1?)

Originally Posted by Izzy

Interesting, considering the direction things took later that Day.
Obviously absolute statements are going to occasionally prove
false in WW, but as a general rule, Day one lynches are often confused
innocents who blunder out of carelessness while the wolves sit back and
enjoy the show. Wolves love those kinds of Day Ones.
Then again, I've argued with people who have written off Day 1's as
useless, too, since that kind of apathy is unproductive. Still, that
doesn't seem to be what Izzy's doing here. It seems more like a
sly spreading around of potential guilt than a call to action.
I always tend to "hear" a bit of a smirk behind Izzy's posts, which
I tend to read as "evil", though. I could be wrong.

#58
Tries to get Sally to elaborate on her suspicions. Could really
be innocent or co-morphish equally easily, I think.

#59
Asking about deadline.

#74
Votes for BG for voting someone BG previously called "relatively
innocent". I find this vote way too... itchy-trigger-finger-ish. It seems
as though having an excuse to vote is more important to Izzy than finding the truth
at this point. Izzy could have asked about it - after all, as she herself points out toDay, people can think in their heads - I would assume she would include BG among the "people" who might do so, instead of jumping on her immediately like this.
Also noticed that Izzy doesn't yet bring up the "fabricated list" issue that she mentioned
toDay.

#79
Telling Lottie to refresh.

#82
Posts BG's list showing Lottie as "relatively innocent".

#89
Banter about pattern.

#92
After BG says she copied Lottie's list - points out she had to
have moved the name to "relatively innocent" from "most innocent".

Day Two:

#125
Says (in response to Shasta) that voting for BG didn't even have
to depend on comparisons to her last game, but simply that
she voted for someone she had called innocentish.

#135
Fairly sensible, if waffle-y, talk about the possibility of a Wilwamorph
voting for a Sallymorph on Day 1, plus some confusion about the narration.

#141
Thinks the Assassin and the Defender know each others' roles.

#164
Fairly defensive repsonse to Pitch's suspicions.

Actually innocents might, especially gifteds on Day 1 who lack any solid suspicions. But be that as it
may, the question is - does Izzy realize that? Is she saying this in good faith? I have
to wonder that if the idea of the list being "fabricated" was so important, she would
probably have mentioned it yesterDay at some point.

#180

Well, at least she's honest. May as well just say "I don't really care whether I vote for a baddie or not,
just as long as I get my vote in", eh, Izzy? Not an innocentish attitude in my book at all.

Claims she thought BG's vote may have also been a seer hint. I'm with Pitch on this - I don't buy it, plus, if she thought this, then she did the last thing an innocent should have done in jumping in with a vote for BG immediately!
This comment could even be a bit of morphish honesty. Sometimes that is a good strategy when evil - makes one's arguments more solid - but in this case, it's incriminating whether
true or false.

I find the repetition of the "didn't vote because of the previous game" a little odd.
There's plenty of reason to question Izzy's vote, regardless of that, and what she's doing kind of reminds me of the times I've been a wolf accused of doing something I actually didn't - focusing heavily on the part of the suspicions that don't apply while hoping the true guilt
is overlooked.

Yeah, Izzy's pretty suspicious, indeed. I don't see anyone more
suspicious around, so:

++Izzy

Edit: x'd with... speak of the devil!

X'd with last 3 posts

[Paranoia]

You know, reading this over, Pitch, I'm finding you really intersting right now.

Let's start with your analysis of yesterday's votes and actions, and your, you know, overall willingness to attack someone who so far hasn't posted or said anything at all today. Yes, lets.

I don't think I really have to defend myself on the BG vote; I put down why I voted her, reasons beyond the "omg the lists didn't match up" and I did indeed look at both lists; the explanation made absolutely no sense to me and it still doesn't, because the titles were different, and she had obviously reworked bits and pieces of it. There was simply no other conclusion I could come to in my mind. And I honestly think the person who looks the worse out of what happened in the last 20 or so minutes is Willwuffin, because no matter how I read her posts there it all felt like the same thing.

"I really think BG is innocent but I'm not going to deign to tell you guys why I think so, despite how blatantly suspect she is being. I'm going to blithely throw my vote away on sally, and continue saying that even though I think BG is really innocent, I'm not going to meaningfully help her in any shape or form."

On another note, when Shasta and Izzy showed up to defend themselves, you were readily willing to relent; you went from one to the next and then finally me, but as interesting as that is, you completely ignored Zul. It's one thing to vote an innocent with a reason and turn out wrong. It's another thing to vote an innocent without saying a bloody thing, being wrong, and skating by. Something's off there.

Another thing is your basically list topping suspicion of Wilowil.. and yet you still vote me. Something's off there, considering you've basically link her with me/shasta/izzy as the definite member of whatever morphpack is on the ship. Care to explain why you voted me above the one constant amongst your conjecture? "Well well if you're a wolf you're dangerous!" Doesn't cut it. That is always a horrible reason, because you are basically bringing a justification into the game that boils down to "what if they're a wolf?"

I am also not liking Willy's "wahhh the bandwagonners got off scott clean! wahhh why am I under suspicion!" posts. You won't deflect attention, Morph.

Also, to those who are going "He was in the middle of the BG voters where he can skate on by!!!!" Really let me ask you; are you just trying to get on my nerves with that logic? Morphs, Wolves, and Mafia will vote in any order they please. And I don't really call it bandwagoning when someone can provide decent reasoning; bandwagoning to me is just simply voting for someone with an overall rehashed reason.

But let's have a hypothetical situation. Let's say I was a morph. Would I have any reason to vote BG, or further add fuel to the fire when it looked like she was going to get lynched on her own anyway? Nope. It's like last game. Every post of her's added fuel to the metaphorical fire, and the more I looked at her the worse I felt about her. I said as much, and I gave reasoning for why I felt the way I did. If I was Morphanoia, I would have known she was innocent. I probably would have thrown an insubstantial vote on someone I was more suspicious earlier in the day on say... Eomer. That way I have a throwaway that isn't a, you know, obvious throwaway. UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE I COULD MENTION *COUGH*WILLYWUFIKINS*COUGH*. Yes, it sucks she was the seer. Yes, I was wrong. But honestly nothing else made more sense to me at the moment, and her explanation for the differentiation between her suspect list and her vote of lottie for lottie's asking others to come along and vote just did not sit well with me.

On the Note of Lottie: I am very much inclined to think her innocent at the moment, simply based on the fact she didn't have to push for BG for the lynch, nor does she right now have to be stopping (or trying at least) the lynch of an innocent. Overall, she's doing more genuine analysis than I remember from her wolf counterpart, who was rather happy to let things progress how they were going.

I'm also having a hard time reading Zul as a wolf, as since BG seemed like a sure thing at the end of yesterday, he'd have no reason to just come and vote her without a word; Now, this isn't to say he might not have done that as a sneaakkky gambit to say "well as a wolf I wouldn't do that" but... it feels doubtful at the moment.

WIth all of this in mind, my vote is going to

++Willowuffyfluffykins, also known as Wilwarin.

Should I get lynched in the interrim, I'm laying down my suspicions as Pitch, Wilwarin, and Zul as a possibility. I am uneasy about Izzy but I don't feel too bad about her at the moment. I believe Shasta, Lottie, and Rikae as town.

Also, yes my accusation of Rikae in my first post was meant as a joke, both in poking fun at how high strung I was my first game and as a bit of hypocritical humor. I didn't think I'd have to explain this... but there you go.

And so it begins. She has gathered her first vote...

See, I tend to trust Noia a bit more from this post. After reading this, I want him to be lynched even less. So, I'd like an Izzy or Wilwa lynch a lot better. Sally forth, townsfolk, and please tell me which you'd prefer. (I just wanted to use the word Sally in a non-Sally related context. )

Noia, by the way, I was amused by your first post, especially the "twitching for a full hour."

[Inziladun]

Well, I think Para's response was adequate. No vote for him from me toDay.

I'd like to look at Izzy more closely, maybe toMorrow.
