Thirty-six minutes left, and I have something to say. Please don't yell. =x

Last night, I was bored and feeling down, so I went to re-read one of the past games I've played here on BD. It happened to be the one game here in which I was a wolf (we won. 8D) Reading through it, I noticed some similarities between the Brinniel of then and the Brinniel of now. However, the Macalaure of then seems completely different than the Macalaure of now; this Mac seems more cautious, somehow.

However, due to the votes, I'd rather not vote Brinniel today (and I admit, there may be some tiny vestige of loyalty for a fellow past-wolf there ). I'd like to look at her more tomorrow.

I hope to stay through the deadline, so I'll hold my vote.

Edit: X'd with Fea.

Ok, hold your horses - don't vote, I'll check it.

Then you better start chewing. I hear hats aren't the easiest thing to digest. Ask Farael.

I really don't like how Aganzir is turning attention to me so late in the Day. Especially since I don't think I'm that much at risk of getting lynched toDay. She posted that analysis right after Shasta said he wanted to look at me toMorrow, so she's really looking like an opportunist more than anything.

My vote will probably be for Kuru unless something dramatically changes.

I promise you I would have done that earlier, had I been home...

Do you think I wrote that analysis in 4 minutes?

Honestly, I'm not checking the time stamps at this late. If you didn't see his post, you need to edit it with a cross-post notice.

Aaahhh...sorry.
I have been playing by WLAN with a friend up until now and I totally forgot about WW; only made small posts in the Quiz Room.

I will try to read through today's posts and make an idea of what happened.

It is, but not against you, as the points were made against Brinn.

What??? She's been talking about you the last two Days, at least. Bad point. Shasta, Aganzir, good points, though late, I'll look at Brinn from those perspectives tomorrow, and I hope that I'm alive.

Especially if Kuru's innocent!


EDIT: Xd with Aganzir

Let's see what happens.

If I'm dead tomorrow, look through Brinn or Kuru (although I bet Kuru dies), and everybody else too!

Farael has just left Hobbiton.
15 minutes and a bunch of votes to go... it seems rather obvious that the remaining two wolves are holding their votes 'till the last moment (I say remaining two with Kuru being the third)

We have heard nothing from The Might today, which is strange... Aganzir makes an interesting post, but it's too late right now. While I won't hold it against her just yet, I'd like to see how she follows through tomorrow.

It does look like a wolf trying to come up with a theory when it's too late to do anything about it (which has the benefit of looking helpful without risking that your suspect will be lynched and proven an ordo) however, we know she's been busy today and therefore I don't think the timing is bad. She does seem more ordo-ish after that post, but at this stage of the game it's all very much relative.

Brinniel's response to Aganzir's accusation is reasonable, but I think a little excessive... while it is certainly a bad timing, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's wolfish behaviour by itself. I'd have to look for further evidence on Agan at this point.

No, Mac, I mean that you seem to be playing differently than the wolvish-Mac of long ago; meaning I think you're more innocent now.

8 minutes to the deadline, folks. I definately want to look at Brinn more tomorrow, and since Aganzir's analysis, possibly Farael too, but it's too late to vote either of them.

Might could be lying about "forgetting" WW, but I don't know; if I were in his position, with suspicion piled high, I certainly wouldn't forget about it. With that in mind, Kuru may be a better bet.

Edit: X'd with Mac, Brinn, and Volo twice. Hmm....

I've read...and I must admit I don't know who to trust...although I am afraid of having been fooled by certain persons whom I trusted up until now...for example Brinniel...of dear, I hope I make the right decision.

If you lynch me, you'll probably lose. But if I die and am proven innocent, look at those who tried to divert attention towards me.

If it's a double lynch, I pray Kuru is indeed a wolf.

But Shasta, you and Brinn and I were wolves together! Of course I'm acting different than then.

Seriously. Volo already mentioned I felt different to him, too. I've got a bit tired of my old style of play which I felt had become too strenuous and predictable and boring. That's why I'm playing a little different.

Aganzir, such a long thing so close to the deadline? I'm not convinced, I'm afraid.

Since nobody considers the Might, I'm going to vote for Kuru..... as soon as Volo and Shasta have decided to not lynch me....

I'm afraid I missed what's wrong with it. I've been away for most of the Day and didn't have time to do it earlier.

Brinn, sorry for forgetting to edit. I can do it now if you wish.

It's just we don't know what your thoughts are on other candidates. Particularly the ones that are getting voted for.

My mind's made up...I'm voting in a second.
