Since all this days bantering and arguing has left me confused, my vote shall be for a person I deem most suspisious.

++Glirdan

This may be taken at face value today I must admit my vote is some what hasty and safe. I do not take first day accusations as seriously until later, when some thing can be made of them.

Unemployed villagers can be of little help *smiles sweetly* I swear I just have no idea today. Tah and Hope we lynch a wolf with all this campanigning and not a loudmouth innocent!

Oh dear...the Day's ending!

Sorry about that, fellow villagers...I was swamped with schoolwork and more schoolwork and couldn't give heed to the more pressing need to save our village. Please let me go back through the discussions before I cast my vote. I surely wouldn't want voting for an innocent toDay, but the odds are against me...well, must do my best. For our prophet!

I'll be back.

I'm here and will leave in ten minutes. And I'm not sure if I wish to save Garin.

Just don't vote against the poor madman, alright? My forest instincts tell me that that way lies a grievous mistake. Wolf-Garin is much more in control and would never vote for himself anyway...

And then my axe naturally wings to the defence of the underdog...

I might be able to come back before the voting time (I have a lesson in computer classroom) but I wouldn't count on it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to vote one of my feeble suspects or someone to save Garin. However, all the people in your (Ang's) list I hold as suspicious as Garin, some even less. I don't know if it's a bad thing that Garin goes. He might be a wolf.

It seems whatever I do, I'm taking sides.

So I go and vote

++Glirdan

There's something wrong with him. I can't explain what, actually, but something in his style. I don't have time to analyse, but I will do it next Day, if I'm still alive.

Well...that's very tempting. And you know, I think I'll give in to tempation-perhaps Lhuna and Spawn will support us yet.

Glirdan's vote is plodding and dangerously obvious. He is being unusually loud as well, not that that's a bad thing. But all in all, I fear we have one of the Four here. Look at some of those more ludicrous accusations against Garin-hair-splitting and specious, aye, so whisper the martingales.

Taste the noose, wolf!

As for the TGWBS dieing bit, well, I think he was just upset that shorty took the one thing he wanted to do all this game: take Nilp's suicidal act. Reason being? Well, my belief is that he probably idolizes our dear Prophet. I'm sorry, but so far, I don't see anything really worrying here.
As this seems to be directed at me, I'll respond.

Yes, I know he was talking about his occupation.

Yes, I understand that "shorty took the one thing he wanted to do all this game."

This is what bothers me. IF he's innocent, the one thing he can do for the village is to help find the werewolves. Playing a suicidal game for his own personal amusement helps no one; also, tgwbs's doing it doesn't preclude anyone else from following suit, as Garin has ably demonstrated.

What a dilemma!

I feel that both Garin and Glirdan are innocent, just completely misled. I feel the sincerity in their posts, and I know that all the jumpiness is only normal. And what a pity that these two villagers who seem eager to help the village would attack each other!

Two other people stood out for me toDay: Lalaith, Naria, and Eonwe.

I expected more from Lalaith than to jump into voting for tgwbs. Maybe it's because I think tgwbs is just being faithful to his role, a stupid thing to do though it is to vote for oneself. I didn't think anyone would just fall for it again like that. Plus, if she thought the suicide outbreak odd, why encourage the virus?

Ditto for Naria.

Eonwe's been making at least some sense early on during the Day, but that vote for Garin and the way he cast it sent shivers up my spine. It's not helping the village at all, starting bandwagons casually like that. It might be too blatantly suspicious for a wolf to do, but I'm just really uneasy about it.

I can't vote for someone I don't really suspect, even if it means a likely innocent will die if I don't. Oh, I feel so helpless. dancing spawn, are you still there?

Well, I don't find any of those with the most votes very suspicious now. I shall take a moment to ponder the voting.

Cailín's vote is based on occupations. Can't tell much of it.

TGWBS' vote is based on occupations. Can't tell much of it.

Garin votes for himself in order to honour Nilp. I have no idea why he does that because later he says: "I am actually not sure what came over me, I've always held the suicidal with great contempt." A bluff? In any case, that's not very helpful a thing to do.

Lalaith votes TGWBS because he had suggested that people would do that. A somewhat safe vote which could be regarded as suspicious because her vote is based on occupations. "This copy-cat suicide outbreak seems very odd to me, anyhow." ~Lalaith

Eomer's vote is based on some master plan that I don't have time to try to understand now, so I can't tell much of it.

Kath's vote seems somewhat weird.

As she admits, she repeats almost exactly the same words as tar-a in her past life. That reasoning got her in a bit of trouble then, but she turned out to be an innocent. Something in Kath's voting feels funny especially because if Eomer is innocent, it's good to keep him around.

tar-a's vote is probably one of the best reasoned toDay although I disagree with her.

Eonwe... Well... "I'm voting Garin and for no other reason than his placement on the list. Ha!" "The funny thing is, I started this bandwagon! Ha!" ~Eonwe
Right. I don't know why he's so cheerful and wants the 'credit' of the Garin 'bandwagon' for himself. Anyway, his reasons aren't very impressive.

Celuien's vote is reasoned, too. Doesn't look suspicious.

lmp's vote for Eomer may be a bit better reasoned than Kath's, but I don't know what to think of the fact that Eomer and lmp voted for each other like that. Maybe it's part of the 'master plan' that I didn't get yet.

Glirdan first had some kind of debate with Garin, but I'm not sure if the debate is the reason for his vote. "Well, the votes are spread to say the least, but I'm afraid that Garin's probably right, his fate is sealed. However, there is still a lot of other people who have yet to vote, so I'm probably wrong on this." ~Glirdan
I don't know what to think of this, but otherwise he has been acting like I would have assumed.

Farael votes for Anguirel because he thinks that Anguirel is a wolf faking to be a Seer? Farael's acting like I would have assumed, too, although I disagree with him. In any case, Happy Birthday!

Naria's behaviour seems typical for her although I don't like it. A safe vote with practically no reasons at all.

Caranlondien gives reasons for her vote. Good. Doesn't appear suspicious now.

Valier says that she votes for Glirdan because he seems most suspicious to her toDay, but she doesn't really give reasons why. Can't tell much of this vote.

I shall vote in a few minutes.

Reading the thread through took me half an hour so I won't have much time to discuss.

I was very inclined to think Garin as a wolf, but after considering it a bit, I won't say so. If he was a newbie, I would say he's a wolf. But being that experienced as he is, I won't say so. He should be able to see the foolishness of his acts. But, on the other hand why would an ordo use the tactic? To get attention and not to get bored, maybe a bit disappointed about being ordo. A seer? A seer wouldn't risk himself knowing he's important to the village. Same goes with ranger. They are more responsible. A lover? Why would he want to try doom not only himself, but his precious lover too? Not likely. So either Garin is a wolf or a lover playing dangerously to get himself out of suspicion or then he is an villager trying to amuse himself.

(This is my posting style, Form, I can tell you: considering all sides off the issues I call it, those who doubt me call it flip-floppy.)

EDIT: xposted with Lhuna, though that doesn't probably matter

Well. Thank goodness I got up early to cast a vote at a very late stage.

Hmmm. Garin, whether innocent or guilty, is being lynched, not for any cogent reason, but because he's Garin. I'd really rather not have that. Village of fools!

But the other feasible options seem to be the suicidal Guy-again, folly-or possibly me, or Eomer.

I'd like to vote for Glirdan because the ermine lords of the forest paths tell me he just acted in a very obvious way to seal Garin's fate. But again, I don't think it's feasible.

Lhuna and Thinlomien-are you about? We must all vote together if we wish to save Garin.
