Yes there are plenty of ideas floating around one of which was mine. I am not voting for based on her role. Read more carefully what I write and I believe you will understand. Let me explain more openly. There are those who, if innocent, can contribute greatly to our village and its success in this and future endeavors. Coincidentally many of those are alligned with professions that are...well...actually professions and therefore I narrowed my search thusly. Valier hasn't spoken much and seems content to hide behind her giggling. Since there isn't much, if any, solid evidence today I figure we could remove somebody who milks coconuts and see what comes of it.

And SpM you said it yourself I hold in contempt the laws of men but I do answer to a higher law...the law of elves I am not under servitude nor owe alliegence to Gondor nor her laws. Though I have respect for your profession.

Fair enough, mormegil. Though you could have been less mystic about it; we have people for that in this village, you know.

For the record:

Valier - 3 (Formendacil, mormegil, Garin)
Formendacil - 1 (Wayne)
Nilpaurion - 2 (Nilp, Abercrombie)
Wayne - 2 (Valier, Cailin)
Abercrombie - 2 (SpM, TGWBS)

Okay, so the votes thus far are:

Formendacil -> Valier
Wayne -> Formendacil
Nilp -> Nilp
Valier -> Wayne (heh, an odd way to thank Wayne for "defending" her)
Abercrombie -> Nilp
Cailín -> Wayne
mormegil -> Valier
Saucy -> Abercrombie
TGWBS -> Abercrombie
Garin -> Valier


Well, I'll make a tie between Abercrombie and Valier. Let's see how others react to that.

++Abercrombie

Thank you, sorry and good-bye.

Gah, about an hour left to vote...well, I guess that's what I get for going to a bookstore...

As it stands I don't really see the votes for Valier (who, I believe, currently has the most votes). I find her giggling distracting and a little annoying, but beyond that there's no reason I can see for voting for her, and in itself that's no reason.

Abercrombie I can see a little more reasoning behind. Yet somehow I imagine that were she a wolf she'd act less like one. Especially when we don't really have anything on which to base an accusation or assumption.


For myself I'm disinclined to trust Garin, something about him isn't sitting right with me. Perhaps it's that he'd prefer to vote for one person, but votes for another on nothing but chance.

I'm rather loath to add another name to our list of those with votes against them. Then again, I'd rather not tie up the voting. I figure I'll review things then come back at least to vote.

I also do not understand why Valier has recieved so many votes.

At the moment it's tied 'twixt Valier and Abercrombie. I can't say I see much reason to think that either is a wolf, but then (it being early) I don't have much reason to think that anyone in particular is a wolf. As I indicated before, I am very slightly inclined to think Abercrombie more likely to be guilty. Therefore:

++AbercrombieofRohan

So it's now four for Abercrombie while Valier has just the three...

I just don't really see either of them as being wolves. I imagine that there's little chance of Abercrombie not being lynched now, as I'm pretty sure that most the votes which are going to be in are in.

I don't want to bandwagon (vote for Aber) and I don't want to tie it (vote for Valier) so I'm just going to vote for the person I have the worst feeling for right now, and that's still

++Garin

It probably won't help today at all, but it beats a bandwagon or a tie.


[Edit: the times don't look it, but I did kinda cross post this with Kath. I'd seen that she posted but I hadn't seen what, so her vote for Abers wasn't taken into consideration regarding my talk of the vote becoming tied.]

I'm really trying to figure out whom to vote for. There is enough evidence pointing towards Crombie. And then there's Valier, the posssible Wolf out of the three that have voted for each other earlier. However, SpM is still not sitting right with me. So as you see, I'm quite befuddled. I'll be back later in order to vote.
