I am quite tempted by this plan. Consistency from the QT is a good thing, right? And as a "messing with their heads" option, I can't think of anything better.

Or, you could abstain and I would vote, in which case my vote would count over Rikae's and Kit's unless they pre-plan and band together.
Except for this one, because letting the "evil" QT feed them a "good" vote sounds like hecka fun.

(It could by stymied by Team Good also refusing to vote, of course. Wouldn't that be wild?)

The irritating thing is, I feel like I might have spotted the Seer. If I thought the pack would read the message right, I might just straight-up vote for them to send it, but... well, I don't think that.

Why yes, I am so bad at this game that I posted "hey, totes expecting the rest of the pack to email me today!". That's definitely what I meant. No other possible way I could've meant those words.

Sorry, but... I'm okay with people assuming the worst about my posts. I'm rather put out at them assuming the stupidest.

That said:

Snort. Because my agenda-pushing skills are so strong, right?

I am a broken record:

a) You can do that?

b) I did reply!

c) I really don't think 'to see if they might come from wolves' is as difficult a sentence as people are making it out to be. It's a direct working-from-home synonym for 'I've been checking my coworkers to see if they might be wolves'.

The explanation is clear: the wolves are stirring this up to try and mislynch me! :O

... wait...

Having skimmed through Page 17, I now have to leave for work.

Should be around more or less for both DLs. I think this goes without saying, but I'll follow your lead, boss.

Right now I'm waiting to see what the InnoCuties do. I should be here from an hour before our DL, though possibly absent actually at it (it's not like we're going to be in a last-second rush over here!).

BWAHAHAHA.

Is the whole "non-committal" thing seriously because I used the word "suspicion" to describe thinking someone was a wolf?

Oh, that's just too rich. XD

A reminder that who started the fake-vote thing is sitting in the QT and is aware of it.
I started that to make a mess, not to make use of it while I'm in the QT.

No no no no. Take pride in it. They are using their posts to be like "Look at how obvious it has been! How dare all the rest of you not have spotted him earlier? You are all suspicious as a result!"

I have a feeling they are purposefully keeping silent so as to not give anything away, and try to glean information from us.

I wonder if we spotted the same gifted. Except I am leaning Hunter, because this individual seems a bit bluff to be a true Seer. Taking some risky stances, and baddie trapping in the open on D1.

I hear you, Lottie.

Hey, InnoCuties, if you want to choose who the QT votes for, get in there quick. Otherwise it'll just be Brinn again.

No no no, please DON'T be as chatty as the last 2 Days, I am at work today and would fall absolutely completely behind if they started chatting just now. After the QT DL - fine, chat away, as long as my job is done.

I will have a vote template ready to fill for just before DL. I hope work does not distract me enough to miss it.

Alas, it looks like the innocents in our humble abode are not going to make use of the voice Hareth-I spoke to eloquently to gain them. Therefore, to avoid potentially missing the deadline (I'm literally being called away right now), I will offer up my own vote in harmony with your solidarity of yesterDay:
