Rereading the thread yet again, I'm inclined to see Mac as less thingish than I had thought. I can see an innocent behaving the way he has, out a combination of the natural desire to defend himself and the sincere wish to protect another innocent.

I'm going to switch my vote to my other top suspect, and if in doing so I am jumping on a bandwagon, well, she did advocate bandwagons herself.

1420!

Wait, I must have been confused as to when the deadline was. I believe we have until 11:00 me time, not 9:00 as I thought. Must have been all that rum...

Anyhow, Nogrod doesn't present the appearance of a Thing to me. He seems pretty normal, at least now.

Nogrod, ye might not want to list me piratical banter as a reason fer suspicion there. I've been over Lommy before, and already stated why I be suspicious of her. (the contradiction between her vote for Rikae and subsequent statement of "she's becoming less suspicious" seemed like an attempt to cover her tracks)

Well. Take this the way you will. I know exactly who have not voted yet and who have. And I have a strong feeling about different people who might be online to change their votes still.

I just don't believe Lommy is a thing and I know I am not one. So I will not try to save my own neck by changing my vote to Lommy.

My primary suspect is still Jenny. She has to vote still... and I know the danger I'm in with this. But if she machinates my death you shall know whom to kill the next Day so there is no problem there. I may die, but you know then who to blame. You will know the truth with the very message that reveals you the situation toMorrow morning.

So I will go to sleep, at last...

Btw. If I have not said it loud and clear enough, then I can do it now.

Jenny is my number one suspect.

Volo is my second.

Then there is some argument, but Rune might be either mislead or then a baddie and Eonwe I'm really worried about, even though he has not posted anything - or just because of that.

Reading stuff and considering things, I'm finding Kitanna rather questionable. She leaps all over Mac for something I can't see at all - his trying to get Rikae in the spotlight constantly. I just can't see it. I don't think he meant to and his posts didn't come across to me as such.

Lommy at least accused Rikae for stuff that was actually in her posts. She didn't necessarily twist the words - she took them too seriously and in the wrong light, maybe, but she didn't have as long to consider, nor as much of the day to read over as Kitanna has.

Those two are my highest suspects now. I need to think over both of them. I sincerely hope that Kitanna posts again before I have to vote to say something in her defense. I don't have long, Kitanna. . .

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. 18 minutes is not a lot of time for me to defend my position.

Oops I read Valier post wrong, I see we have TWO HOURS and 18 minutes. Well then give me a few minutes to find the best way to clarify my point.

Well, do try to hurry. I don't know if Mom'll let me come back to the computer tonight and I've just been called away. I'll try hard, but I can't make a promise, and I don't want to vote until Kitanna's made her defence.

It's hard to explain exactly what I'm getting, but I'm going to try my best.

Obviously after Mac's intentional defense of Rikae one or two posts defending his stand on it is expected, it'd be highly questionable if he hadn't. However I read through his posts several times and the more he defended himself and Rikae the more I saw him as a Thing. I find it a bit odd he's pretty much not even considering Rikae as a possible Thing choice and in defending himself he must restate what he's said in many of his posts. I feel it's all overkill on his part and that he's trying to cover his tracks by repeating the same thing only in different words. I'd take a different stance on Mac altogether if he had made his intentional post, defended it, maybe clarified it and then moved on, but he hadn't. I find him overly defense over a little matter and I can't help but think he's trying to use Rikae as a human shield.

If that only makes sense to me, then so be it, but that's how I see the situation.
