Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXII: Hic Monstrae Trucidant

[Boromir88]

To Tom, Spawn, and those others who have commented on my not revealing how retractable vote helps me. Review the post as I explained it. I don't want wolves knowing my mind, then they would be able to use that against you. Because to know what your enemy is thinking or planning will only lead to your own downfall.

Also Tom, I really wasn't stressing my innocence. If I was stressing it I would have said "Since I'm INNOCENT!" that's stressing to me.

With all my retracting, I'm most likely going to stick with Thinlomien (unless we have a big drastic change) and here's why...

Thinlomien seems to be doing a lot of fence-riding and not taking a position on a lot of issues. It makes it seem as if she is trying appease everyone.

1)

I didn't say retractables are not a benefit to the village, because they are, in some situations. I just don't like people toying with them.~Post 41

Now of course you didn't say they were not a benefit. But you did say they cause confusion and that wolves would benefit giving them "perfect cover." I don't know how it gives them cover? Sure as heck hasn't given me cover today.

The last time I complained about frolicing with retractables Form changed his vote to me, just like Boromir here, and if I recall correctly, he was a wolf. Form, if you remeber I'd be gald to be sure. There's also the possibility that it was in Valier's game, and then Form wasn't a wolf... Anyway, I see no reason for an innocent to act like that.~Post 71

So, now you're trying to pin that since Form was a wolf with the last retractable vote, I have to be a wolf too? Sounds kind of specious and flimsy.

2) Sauce has remarked on Form and Lommy's "anti-day 1's" Now Form always hates Day 1's...I never understand why...they're the most interesting day for me. But Lommy follows suit and what's interesting is after saying:

Day One is pretty useless on Day One~Post 40

Then when Sauce comments on it Lommy responds:

So I'm not completely anti-Day1, you see. I just dislike them on Day1s.~Post 71

Not completely against Day 1? So this means you're what 60-40%? 78.2-21.8%?

Lommy seems like you've done a job to try to pin me that since I retract I have to be a wolf (remarking about prior games of course). And riding the fence, not taking a stance...playing it safe.

The Sauce Wagon's got me a bit puzzled too. Honestly I can't understand it. Especially Durelin's vote.

This has already been called a bandwagon (3 votes?). Let's see, when I voted for SpM, he'd gotten 2 votes, one of which had been retracted. So I bumped him back up to 2, then Durelin gave the third vote (with no explanation whatsoever ) So I don't really see it as a bandwagon. And anyway, all I can do is vote based on my honest suspicions.~Caranlondien

I'd call it a bandwagon, suddenly Sauce has 3 quick votes. And really very little reasoning. Now it is Day 1 and there's not a bunch to go on. But there's always something that catches my attention at least. And random voting (meaning just drawing a name from a hat) on Day 1 I can't see anything good that comes out of it. In fact I'm in the thinking that random voting is actually a wolvish move.

1st off- They know their partners, so they know who not to pick.

2ndly- It's no help to the village if someone just votes randomly. Because it gives an excuse of if you just happen to lynch an innocent its the..."Oh I'm sorry, I just pulled a name out of a hat. There was really nothing I was suspicious of, so I just voted for someone randomly."

I despise random votes as much as Form despises day 1's.
