Gwath's choice of Aganzir yesterDay in the end of the Day is neatly safe as Rikae suggested. I also find her tune

quite bad. Like a wolf who gets a bit carried away seeing his target in trouble. Just adding wood into the fire without actually committing anything? The wolves love to do this kind of pushes.

In #183 he says, answering why LG voted for him:

I do find it interesting that he first of all goes on to explain why LG voted him (McCaber had been suspecting LG for her vote) and this self-conscious talk about newbie mask fitting a wolf looks... well, odd.


I still dislike the way Sally changed her "random vote" to a "deliberate pick causing the least damage" after the Night had passed. Like she was advised or tohught the bettr of it after eeing how much she was susected because of that random vote.

Oh my... so little time left. Ideas anyone? We should not wrtie novels at this time as no one has time to read them until later.

I'm sick of explaining myself for that, because I didn't do anything wrong. So I'm not doing it anymore. If you don't like the way my brain works when I'm ill, kill me. Sorry to be rude, but I've had about enough of people finding me suspicious because I found my recovery sleep more important than explaining a vote which I'd already sort of explained. Hehe. That and I'm really not a morning person. *shuts up about it for now*



I just can't decide, and I need to because if I don't leave in like ten minutes I'll be late for work. Any last minute weigh-ins from the group? After all, the deadline is in twenty minutes and there have been only two votes. Come on people, don't delay too much. *mutters* Like I should talk....

Well – Legate:

First, the “repeatedly” about the vote count. It may have been a mistake, but it could also be a way of wording the intro to the corrected vote count to insinuate it was deliberately posted wrong.

I see what Legate's saying now. I read this at first as a suggestion that Aganzir was lynched for looking seerish (since he already said he suspected her voters), but now I see he's referring to the fact that she couldn't have revealed at the last minute if she were, right? My mistake.

This is contradictory:

Then there's this stuff:

This sentence does two things – brings up the “RL things” and dismisses them. That way he can both discredit and suspect at once... very nice for a wolf who hopes to get one, but better both, of us lynched.

But, having gone over Legate's posts again, I've come to the conclusion that the main thing that I find creepy about him is not so much what he says, as what he doesn't say. He follows other people's track (he seems to have predetermined that Mac would be an easy lynch toDay) or says uncontroversial things. I'm used to a more verbose, and more helpful, Legate.

EDIT: Spacing, x'd with Noggie, Sally, Nerwen

I do agree with this point.

Cool down Sally. Please. It's just a game after all.

Mehe don't I know it. I'm just angry that....oh, never mind. I'm not going to rant any longer. Whatever the outcome, I hope you all enjoy the rest of the game. Hopefully I'll be able to see you all the next Day, and hopefully with one less werewolf than we currently have. I'm out. Need to get to work in a couple minutes anyway.

P.S. Sorry, folks. I told Shasta I'd wake him, but he didn't respond to my IMs, so I'm guessing he's still asleep. Which is good, because if he has what I had, he feels like crap right now, so he needs it.


EDIT: Extra P.S. Won't be around for the first several hours of the next Day. My first class starts at nine (DL), and I don't know if I'll be able to get on for sure until six in the evening. Just a heads up so no one wonders where I've scampered off to.

My preference lies with Legate or Nerwen. Sally appears very innocent near the deadline, and I wouldn't like to see Rikae lynched either, and me the least.

After we see who will in the end turn out and actually vote we'll be much more wiser as to who were hiding at the last moments.

But the fact is I'm not very happy with any of the candidates right now. Of those three I'd pick Mac though.

So so so sorry - I didn't guess there would be so many posts, I was hoping to have time to post long and well, but it took me around 40 minutes to read the thread so now I have, what, 4 minutes for posting...

To be honest I'm quite baffled by toDay's posts. Rikae looks better, Sally looks worse, and I don't have time for more analysis, I'll do that toMorrow...

So without further explanations,

++ Mac

Because his posts strike me as furry and I believe he might well be a wolf, and his death will reveal much in any case.



edit: x'd with Legate

It's not your brain-functions r recovery sleeps Sally but the fact that you first claimed it to be a random vote and then changed the reason for the vote later into a "safe for the village" vote.

Okay, that's it. Expletiving kill me! I'm an ordo, a plain, simple, snazzy ordo, but you are wasting your time discussing me, and I'd much rather see you talk about and find the wolves, so get me out of the way so you can stop babbling about "she's an idiot" and talk about someone else. And be nice to Shasta when he gets on. I'd hate to see you all pick on him because he's sick too. So yeah. I've said it. KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DARE YOU!!!!

And in the meantime, I'm going to leave you with what will probably be my last vote. I don't want to add someone else to the mix fifteen minutes before deadline, and I DO find her a bit on the suspicious side, so I'll have to vote for:

++Rikae.


My apologies love. I know you're being picked on too. But like I said, I do find your actions yesterday a bit odd, and I won't have a snipe of a bandwagon like we had yesterday. So it's got to be you. Good luck, because you'll probably survive anyway. And thank you for defending me, by the way, in the little capacity that you did. I appreciate that you saw that I've been acting the way I was because (yet again, people) I've had an extremely high fever and haven't been able to think straight, and now that I sort of can I tried to explain myself to the village in a more coherent manner, but they just won't have it. Feel free to vote me to save yourself. Apparently you're a much better player than I am anyway. G'luck!

Yes, he bears looking at. I wish I'd been able to pay more attention toDay. I'd like to hear Legate explain his reasoning at #166 (on Lommy). I'd also like Nogrod to explain that apparent self-contradiction I noticed.

But I can't dither anymore. I'm too afraid of mising the deadline and getting modfired.

Here goes:

++Macalaure.

Edit X'd with everyone since Sally at #245.

I agree. I'm not saying I think he's necessarily innocent– but I'd want a hell of a lot more to go on before I start calling someone suspicious.
