Holby, Hobly, Holby. I said that Eonwe is innocent. Just a gut feeling, right? It's becasue of something in, so far, quite a few of the posts I've seen from Eonwe's which makes me believe so. I am not trying to pretend to be the Seer. I'm merely trying to point something out to people, without giving to much away and by the looks of it, at least one other person MIGHT have caught on.

And what about our two wandering folks from out of town? What about Rune and Sleepy? Notice how they turn up when the trouble starts? Coincidence? I think not.

My list of suspicions:

Bergil - not to certain of
Rune Son of Bjarne - high on the suspicions list
Wilwarin538 - she could just be a crazy person. Or she could be acting crazy to cover for her hairy little secret.
Glirdan - innocent
WaynetheGoblin - not sure of
Gurthang - I believe innocent, but not sure. Definetly keeping my eye on him
Sleepy Ranger - high on the suspicions list
Sotty - not sure
Tar-ancalime - not sure
Márcolië Lamen - not completely certain of guilty or innocence
Eonwe - innocent, yet still keeping an eye on. I could be wrong you know.
Holbytlass - not sure
Hiriel - not sure
THE Ka - not sure
Kitanna - not sure

As you see, I'm not sure of a whole lot of people. That's because I didn't have time to read carefully through the posts everyone made. Right now, I'll probably be voting for Rune, Sleepy or Wilwa.

Had I known occupation would play so high on peoples decisions I definately would have picked something else but perhaps people are just trying to back up a random post with evidence that isn't there. Anyway the first day does tend to be quite random and hopefully by the next we won't be falling to things such as occupations and actually going off something solid.

As for who I suspect I don't really want to make any solid statement yet but a few people have caught my eye but I can't know for sure. Expect my vote in another hour or so.

Just to let you know, most of that list is randomness and has no real back up proof behind it. Except for Eonwe. As I said, I trust Eonwe, but I could be wrong so I'm going to keep an eye on our friendly undertaker. Who knows, I could very well be wrong about my theory and Eonwe could be the opposite of what I think. I shall wait and see...

Another thing I just noticed while quickly scanning the posts. I'm now really confused at what to think of Sleepy. I'm going to leave him ve for the time being. I'll probably end up voting for Rune or Wilwa as I planned.

Reasons, Glirdan? I know it's day one, but you seem awfully sure of yourself.

Oh, and I also went back to check, and you posted your decision that Eonwe was innocent after she had posted only twice. One was nonsense, the other did not contain anything that caught my attention. Please, explain.

Oh, and Rune... same question.

Myself, I have some suspicions. I cannot say some of them, because I might be right and nail the Seer. So I'll not explain those. But here's what I think:

tar-ancalime - flip-floppy. Jumped on Eonwe for telling people to back up what they say. Might be early jitters. Worth watching.

Glirdan - has been accused of trying to send Seer hints. Hinting so drastically this early is not a great idea. Wouldn't want a dead Seer on Night 2. Might be a masquerading wolf, might be the Seer, or we might be reading too much into things. Watch.

DEATH, I think you missed which 'Us' Hiriel was referring to. True that us is the village, but I don't think anyone else in the village is an apocolyptic horse person. I think you missed the question because you jumped at the thought of it being a trick. Also watch.

Still no telling about a vote from me. Could still go anywhere, maybe randomly.

Note:
Make sure you read malkatoj's directions on voting in the first post. If it's not correct, it won't be counted!

Now Glirdan, why are you voting for either Rune or Wilwa? I read and reread your posts, but I see nothing. I'm going to guess randomness based on occupation...but if that is the case how is it Sleepy managed to avoid your "might vote for" list. You mentioned him one time a around and then not at all the second. Any reason?

EDIT: Opps, I wanted to ask Rune the same question. Rune, you say it is just a feeling, but what gave you that feeling, may I ask...

This confused me, probably cause of the way its worded. Did you mean that you put me on the suspect list for old time sake? Or did you meen something else.
I mean, at the time of posting, my list is rather random and pointlessly based, just like "what everyone is doing toDAY". But I added about the seer and one person meaning last night's dream (I was being Captain Obvious). As for you, Wilwarin, you are on the suspect list toDAY for old time's sake but of course, that could change tomorrow. Meaning I put you on the suspect list (tomorrow) because I think you are a wolf.

Ah, the way things are, perhaps a freudian slip, perhaps not. We can't really know till her death.

A true seer would not fly in the face of convention with "I'm the seer" neon signs pointing to themselves, getting themselves killed on the second night by the wolves. That only happens when the seer has dreamt of a wolf and exposes themselves to get that wolf lynched.

As a wolf you would know he's innocent, but then maybe you're trying to set up a fellow wolf as an innocent in case you do get lynched. But I think Eonwe is just a pawn in your schemes.

Rune, I'm just glad you gave a reason behind why. I know when I finally vote I will not have very sound reasons today either.

Anywho, I'd like to say this about DEATH's IMing comment. It is possible DEATH was talking to friends outside of the game and outside the Downs on AOL instant messager or some other messager service. I do not think we should hold that against DEATH.

Well to be completely truthful despite its lack of relavance, I will not deny the fact that who I was talking to is a member of the Downs, and is actually a werewolf player. But I was not talking about the game, seeing as DEATH can talk to the dead, but not get information from the mods on the identity of the wolves.

This I really don't understand that. Could DEATH please get a rewording?


Waybe and the Ka both really haven't posted. Well Wayne had his one liner saying it was sad they died (which is it).
Please talk you guys?

And I have to echo Kitanna on saying thanks for giving reasons for suspisions Rune its early on but it always is more helpful to have more information to sift through.

Well, glad you're honest.

So time is drawing on and I still have no clue who to vote for. I suspect a number of people above the rest, but I'm not entirely sure which one of them to vote for.

Glirdan and Tar both hold places on my list.

Glirdan~ Because of his strange posts regarding Eonwe. Now there's a chance he is a very bold seer, but his hints toward it are very bold and very dangerous. He could be a wolf leading off his scent and trying to throw it elsewhere. (piggybacking on an innocent...) Or he really could have a strong gut feeling.

tar-ancalime~ Not so much for her flip-flopping, but because she has said a few things that caught my attention and my suspicions. But I'm going to let flip-flopping and echoing of ideas slide today because she is new and it is DAY one. I am going back one more time to reread her posts.

Herm. Back again. Things have progressed a little. It seems the main suspects right now are Tar and Glirdan, with Rune, Gurthang, Sleepy, Marcolie, and Wilwa's names also being thrown around. Herm.

Glirdan's certainty disturbs me. Could be he's gauging people's reactions to his vouchsafing of Eonwe, he is a very foolish Seer. As suspicious as I am of his certainty on this first and very uncertain day, I don't think he's a wolf. Calling attention to himself and another player (Dunno why Eonwe. I've seen nothing in his posts to damn or clear him) like this seems a very bald, foolish tactic for a wolf, who's main objective is to stay hidden so he can kill us all. It smacks more of a cobbler to me. As for his "seeing" hints, I doubt he's a seer, either. No sane seer could afford to be this blatant, even as a bluff. The wolves might buy it and kill him and then were would we all be? I'm very interested as to what happens to Glirdan tonight and tomorrow, and he's still very suspect, but he'll not get my vote.

Tar: I'm still a little suspicious of, because of his flip flopage. He's not posted in a while, either. Dunno, but I doubt I'll vote for him. I'd rather keep an eye on him for a while first.

Wilwa and Sleepy...My gut says they're innocent. I've seen nothing so far that would speak otherwise. I guess time will tell if my feelings are mistaken.

Rune: I like his sound reasoning. He made a very good point about Marcolie, which was something I felt but couldn't quite articulate. Still, I have gut feeling against him. I dunno. Maybe it was because I trusted him completely in WWJ I, and now this is a whole new ballgame. I don't know. He'll not get my vote, either, because my reasons aren't good ones.

Gurthang : Also has made some valid points. Not that wolves are beyond doing so. He's mostly echoed what other people have said, and expanded on that a little bit. Not a suspect of mine. Yet.

Marcolie: Some of what he said has struck me as odd. He didn't quite take on my joke about Who's Us, but got a little (only a little) defensive. The IM comment, I think, is benign. If he had said PM, I might think differently. Yet he's sill suspect. I agree with Rune about him being very present yet expanding on little. He might get my vote toDAY, less I see something in the next couple hours that screams wolf to me. It's mostly utter randomness, with a bit of unease thrown into the mix.

The only other suspect I'd add to the list is Holby, for pretty much the same reasons as Marcolie. Some things just strike me as odd, and I've got a bad feeling about this. (perhaps I should've been connoisseur of Star Wars quotes )

Yeah, this passage confuses me. Which brings it to my attention, which makes me suspicious. If you could clarify, Holby, especially the sentence about the seer and the one person meaning last night's dream bit. That'd help me greatly.

Oh also: some people have brought up my usage of blame. The honest answer for why I wrote that word is that it's shorter and easier to spell than accuse. The two are basic synonyms, and I wasn't thinking about the negative connotations the former might have as opposed to the latter. I meant nothing sinister or to encourage random mob lynches by it. Sorry.

That's all for now. I'll be back with anything semi-relevant and my vote in an hour or so.

Well, I do not remember any of the dead beeing choked in cheese!


I realy can't see anything telling me who is innocent and who is not.

This is the people I have as "top" suspects at the moment (just a feeling)

Márcolië Lamen
Gurthang
tar-ancalime

(It does not meen that I will vote for one of them)

but there is still some people who has not even postet, this I do not like!
If they do not post, they do not help the village!
