Including you, as well? Just saying.

I apologize for my quietness. The severe weather passed us by with no damage, thankfully, but it created some inconvenience. That plus a busy workday equals little time for WW. I'm going to at least vote, if nothing else. Yes, I'm looking at Morsul, primarily because he looks worse than any one else. The martyr-syndrome coupled with what appears to be hypocrisy about Sally's vote as compared to his own.

No. I don't want to lynch him anymore. It seems too much as if he's been chosen for the purpose.

Honestly, after Pom got lynched for the same sort of thing, do you really think I would say that meaning me? I now have a feeling this day is being choreographed, and you are one of the choreographers.

As a matter of fact I'm not going to go along with this plan. If it's not a wizard's plan, it's certainly helpful to them.

I will not vote for Morsul for the reasons I just mentioned.

Thoughts on everybody:


Loslote - Her posting often seems iffy, but she did give Pom her second vote. I don't think a wizard would have considered it necessary to bus Pom at that point.
Rikae - Ordo, seer-dreamed as far as I can tell.
Inzil - Looking very bad to me now. He's been flying under the radar (even though he had 3rd most posts!) and generally seems to be poking at people without getting his hands dirty, hoping for something to stick. Voted for Gil the day before Brinn's death as well - a safe vote at the time.
Kath - Really under the radar. Caused a lot of confusion with her early banter, but overall her posting doesn't seem suspicious. It doesn't seem particularly innocent either. Very short, largely uncontroversial posts. Safe. A little too safe.
McCaber - His "bandwagon" on Cop with Pom shouldn't make him, or Cop for that matter, look any better. Pom's "keep an eye on Cop voters" makes him look slightly better, however, I am really not pleased with his analysis toDay (night?) - a lot of text, not a lot of content.
Nerwen
Sally - looking pretty innocent, actually, mostly due to her vote. Shasta likely wasn't killed because the wizards hoped he'd be modfired, come to think of it, and Sally may be alive now because of Brinn's comment bringing attention to her (I doubt very highly that Brinn actually dreamed of her).
Morsul - too often put forward as an easy lynch candidate by people who themselves don't look too innocent. He could still be evil. His posting, however, is erratic and controversial in a way that either an innocent or a wizard could possibly be, but that, in an innocent, would attract wizardly attention. I will not be voting for him today.
Nog - The events thus far have a Nog-mastermind feel to them. Particularly had the impression he was part of a plot to frame me after Volo's death - him more so than Nerwen. She is persistent enough to make herself look better, while Nog puts something out there and then sort of lets it gain momentum while backing off himself. He is also not nearly as active, as serious about wolf-hunting, as an innocent Nog usually is. Innocent Nog is persistent - this Nog is not. I don't like it.
Nerwen - I'm keeping an eye on her but as I've said, I actually think she'd be a bit more laid back if she were evil. If she is evil, she's doing a good job - staying involved in the controversy while making herself look better rather than worse.
Coppermirror - Just the same old bad feeling about the way she makes long posts with little content, and now has basically prompted the entire village to do the same. It may be a style thing, though.

Looking worst right now:
Inzil
Nogrod
Kath


Iffy:
Coppermirror
McCaber
Nerwen


Ok for now:
Lottie
Sally
Morsul
Nerwen

Rikae (duh)

This makes a lot of sense to me. What I keep remembering is how people keep bringing up suspicion against him, but it keeps being forgotten within a few hours. I don't really know what to make of that, but I think it's high time we pay some attention to him.

That...actually makes sense. I think she reads evil, but...probably a Nerwolf wouldn't. She makes my head hurt.

I don't know, I've seen this sort of suggestion a lot from a player who isn't quite *new* any more, has gotten a feel for the game, and wants to try a new strategy to catch wolves easier - and that generally comes when they're innocent, not evil. Cop's been feeling good to me, and I highly doubt she's a wizard.

So you put me as an instigator against Morsul, but you're "iffy" on Coppermirror and Nerwen, who have also been for his lynching? And the former actually voted him already.

Trouble is, I really haven't had a chance to look closely at others. I have misgivings about Nerwen, and to a lesser extent Sally, though the latter has to a large extent been mitigated by the fact that I haven't trusted Morsul, and he's been after her. Morsul, as you say, has been all over the place as usual, but "that's just Morsul" shouldn't always be an out. Unfortunately, I need to vote now, or not vote at all.

++Morsul

Do as you like, and good luck.

x/d with Rikae and Kath

I got to check Brinn's posting and the few notes I had made on Volo.

With the information we have now it looks pretty improbable the Wizards killed either of them because they looked seerish to them. Which I think is pretty wild indeed, well, odd.

I've been a wolf often enough to know there is no other concern that would override the search for the seer with the lupines - and the gravest sacrifices (making themselves look bad the next Day) are needed when there is a suspicon about who the seer is (which comes from any unwarranted or firm suspicion for one of them).

Sure the pressure and the need depend on any given situation, but that is a kind of basic fact, like the law of gravity for WW-games.

And therefore the choices the Wizers have made puzzle me to no end now.

Also, going back there showed quite clearly Rikae is innocent.
