Votes so far:

Boro - phantom
Glirdy - Boro

Left to vote:

Ang, Elra, Greenie, Nerwen, phantom, Sally

(What a helpful post. Wanted to check if there had been any more votes than these two. Apparently not.)

A Little Green · 02-04-2011, 05:08 PM

Hmm. It's really bed time now. I'm going to go with

++ Sally

after all. I figured bringing in a third lynch candidate won't hurt. I'd hate to see this turn into a "phantom versus Boro" -Day, though I am aware that it's already doing so. Besides, Sally is the only one who feels clearly more evil than not to me, and at this stage I'd feel silly going after anyone else.

EDIT: x-ed with phantom

the phantom · 02-04-2011, 05:17 PM

Ang- have you pieced the entire thing together, or at least the what and why, and used that to make clearer sense of emotions you've seen?

the phantom · 02-04-2011, 05:54 PM

Time is ticking, sir knight. If Boro arrives back I won't really need your support at all, as I am quite confident I could get him to see my way with a brief exchange, but if he's truly gone for the day then you are the one person above all others that I need to convince of my case.

Anguirel · 02-04-2011, 05:59 PM

Relax. I'm here, and reading carefully. We still have four hours (give or take one or two, I've always admitted I'm no good at counting). I'm just a dumb blond and I need a while to work out what the hell you're trying to tell me.

There's a party downstairs (I can discern Blondie) but my commitment is total

the phantom · 02-04-2011, 06:08 PM

If it helps, my last defense of Boro (here), while accurate, is only part of the point. The other pressing point is contained within the first paragraph, with special emphasis on the final sentence.

(edit: Computer lab I monitor has gotten quite busy. I'll check the thread when I have the chance.)

Anguirel · 02-04-2011, 06:26 PM

OK Boro and phantom, I think we're quite close to being able to three musketeer this thing out

Which a tempting idea anyway, I must admit, in crude terms. phantom earlier suggested this thing was a bit of a battle of the sexes, nobly loudmouthed male innocents being persecuted by cigarette-holder wielding Mata Haris. It would be funny to turn the tables on such an arrangement. Although coming too clean about that might see us go down to neutral, angered damoiselles...

I believe the huntress Elron, by the way. It makes a lot of emotional sense, and one of the cardinal rules of this game is that the psychological effect of a special role impacts in a way that often makes one look just like a wolf.

I should add some empirical information - at the beginning of this game I was truly a Feanorian innocent (which is why you'll find my early posts larded with Seer hints, as I thought the best way I could serve my side would be to absorb a night kill then help in Mandos). Blind Guardian was an, I take it, inactive Glorfindel and is now a dead innocent.

Among these either two or three are gulity:

Nerwen
A Little Green
sally

Glirdan is a possibility too of course but I have developed a temporary, rough and ready trust in him (because he's male. No not really. I prefer the company of the opposite sex and would like to be dancing to Blondie with them right now were it not for this alternatively blond enterprise)

sally, as I have noted, has what looks like a good - if frighteningly deadly - voting record UNLESS we are in really dire straights and face three wolves. This is upsetting as, of the three, I'm most inclined to go after her, but that's basically because she's most inclined to go after me and I have to think bigger.

That leaves us with two alternatives, both of whom have been quiet, sensible and helpful, Nerwen in the persistent clarity of her theorising, Green (is your name a Joni Mitchell thing?) in dealing with incredibly boring, neutral spadework about voting records.

I'm afraid I'd rather vote for one of these two - and I'd like the support of you noisy chauvinist hooligans, phantom and Boro...of the two, I'm leaning Green as she is trying to shoot down sally who still seems quite unlikely to me

ps no phantom, havenae a clue what you're on about. It seems to me that my only really good Day 2 suggestion was that there might be ten werewolves, and I still wouldn't be that surprised

Anguirel · 02-04-2011, 06:38 PM

Oh right. If you're just telling me to hang A Little Green, well you'll see I eventually reached the same conclusion (though not in a manner that had aught to do with Day 2). It must be said that Nerwen and Green look like very plausible colleagues of Loslote, in terms of voting...

I'm sorry if I'm being unByzantine here, phantom. I'm alright at lying, and I absolutely love the strategy of actively second guessing nocturnal amusement, but I am useless at cryptography. Actually had to take an exam in it a few months back. Worst candidate they'd had for years
