Sorry, my mistake, Cailin has actually posted before. That makes Shelob my candidate for the day.

None taken my local debauchee, I don't think my plan is likely to work as I stated but it at least got some good discussion going. Also I myself only planned on implementing my plan only if I didn't have some decent suspicion, which I feel like I have now though I will reserve that for a little while and see where the day takes us.

I think LMP's analysis should make it quite clear that my vote was utterly random-I merely invented some reasoning to make it seems somewhat less denuded.

Actually-as a knight should never vote to lynch a lady without good reason-I picked randomly from all the male villagers. Boromir received the short straw.

I wish I knew on what those who have mentioned suspicions base them! I have no idea how to vote seriously on this first day. Mine will have to be completely random - perhaps using the time-honoured tactic of "eeny, meeny, miney, mo"?

the guy who be short · 10-18-2005, 02:56 PM

Esty - I base my "suspicion" of Shelob on the fact that she has not yet appeared. Voting her off, even if she is an innocent, will help in that it will remove a mysterious silent factor from the village.
Of course, if you're completely at a loss, it's always helpful getting an abacus to randomly choose somebody to kill for you.

Cailin - Sorry again.

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-18-2005, 03:00 PM

If we go by that 'evidence', tgwbs, then Lhuna is one to keep an eye on as well - she hasn't posted since the game started...

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-18-2005, 03:12 PM

Tantalizing as LMP's offer of a resting place with wine, chocolate and "other things" is, I prefer my own. And as I cannot guarantee a reappearance by the appointed time, I shall have to cast my vote now. Using the "eeeny, meeny..." 'strategy' I mentioned above, I have chosen:

++Shelob

I can only hope that my random choice was guided, for I have not the wisdom to make a decision with the necessary foresight. Good night!

the guy who be short · 10-18-2005, 03:14 PM

Hmm, I didn't notice Lhuna's absence. However I'm willing to put that down to time difference - seriously, that girl sleeps so late, it's like she's in another time zone.

the guy who be short · 10-18-2005, 03:18 PM

Sigh. This will look like bandwaggoning, but hopefully it's for our own good:

++Shelob

But if I explain my suspicions, I run the risk of getting some people I'd like to keep alive killed off. That's why vagueness makes me happy.

Good. I was already planning an indignant response to that. I'm very sorry for my silence but it could not be helped. I really promise better behavior in the future, should there prove to be one.

I have not had time to read everything thoroughly yet and am quite afraid I won't manage a close reading tonight. Though I normally hate random voting, tis what I'm probably going to do, hoping it will at least confuse the wolves and be unexpected.

I shall return later tonight. I think.
