On the subject of worrying votes- why did Nogrod leave his vote so late - given that in the event of a tie the first gets the chop. He literally left it to the last minute. I know he often does but with fixed votes there is less reason too. A ot of brinkmanship going on?

That is a bit peverse TGWBS considering you just said she seemed innocent!

Mithalwen · 06-03-2007, 02:02 PM

Oh I see you explained .... sort of... must stop reading backwards through the thread .. keep getting hold of sticks by the wrong end...

Nogrod · 06-03-2007, 02:06 PM

Please Rikae and Mith. Tell us about whom or what are you talking about in your posts...

If I got it right the "you" in Rikae's post was me and the one Mith referred to as one explaining things was tgwbs, right?

Makes reading much faster if you don't have to deduce the persons discussed.

Please.

EDIT: This is kind of general begging. I guess I had them right at these particular instances with just a little trouble but I remember times when there are ten posts between the target you're addressing (not just you two but all those people who don't say what or who are they talking about).

Ah but it makes typing quicker if you don't expalin what seems obvious! Yes I sawTGWBS 's vote after I had posted my query about your (Nogrod's) vote timing.
I was suprised enough to reply immediately and then saw he had made a separate post saying his thoughts had gone topsy turvy.

Which I can relate to as we have a lot of conjecture but little certainty. And today seems to have a few people posting a lot and perhaps getting a little fixated.

So far we have three votes cast and all for Kath? Which should mean that there are a lot of folk planning on getting back to vote in the next couple of hours. Which to me also suggest wemay well have lurkers.

But what seems obvious when you type may not be obvious by the time when you click the submit button...

And about my vote-timing. I almost forgot.

If you look back to the last ten minutes or something I was the one who was actually wishing for a Kath or Shasta vote by then as Menel was my third candidate (he looked a heck of more suspicious than Xyzzy who was about to be lynched but I would have preferred Kath or Shasta anyway). I went through some trouble to find out who could yet vote and what's the possibilities on those last minutes, counting it all the time. I don't remeber the exact times but after Sixth's vote I went mad and got to look once again the possibilities. It seemed quite a lost case - not even to lynch Menel as I doubted Xyzzy would appear anyhow. I only remember that when I got to refresh the window both Legate and Xyzzy had given their votes. I got in to make my vote and felt happy that we had managed to lynch one who was more probably a wolf (Menel) than the other candidate (Xyzzy) with 5 votes over 4 as no one was to be coming in at the actual last minute. The truth was revealed after I had cast my vote...

Anyone who wishes. Try to make it better yourselves the next time.

It's easy to say afterwards when you have time to think what one should have done in a tight place.

EDIT: X'd from Mith onwards...

Blimey Rikae - I am checking for new posts after I get to a page end in my reread - and after the first few pages the only thing I felt certain of was that Boro was innocent. Now I have to decide if I was completely misled. Or if I should look at you..and I have so little time now aieeeeee
