My dad went to bed then...

I must join the apologies Kath made as it seems I don't have time for any thorough analysis, but I'll do what I can.

Forty minutes to go - as someone asked it just a while ago.

That's what I see too, and with twenty minutes to go, I'll add my own vote.

++ Eonwe

for reasons earlier stated.

Shasta is correct. You don't have to vote toDay, but then be sure to do so toMorrow....otherwise, you will be modfired.

I was suspicious of Kitanna uesterDay (and I've given my points there). The following from toDay raises another eyebrow.
Quote:

Boro- Next vote for Sixth
Elf-warrior- Third vote for Sixth
Agan-Tied Eonwe and Sixth, though a tie doesn't result in a double-lynch a tie remains a tie. If nothing else it confuses and muddles things especially close to deadline.
This is based purely on when and how they voted for, not their reasoning behind it.
Agan & Eonwe's look the most suspicious to me based on timing. Though I'm going to read through their posts before deciding fully how I feel about either.
I have done that kind of lists a few times when I have been a wolf. It's an easy way to add some pressure to people who already are under suspicion (Eonwe, Elf-W & Agan in this case) while simultaneusly underlining that it was based only "on the time of the vote" or something like that. So it's kind of adding weight in the absence of any more conclusive arguments.

I see things happening... I'll continue this if I have time. Need to read the latest first.

EDIT: added underlining to the quote

I meant I have been the victim (and have also done it to others) of being the last minute bandwagon at the end of voting when there were two people who looked in some way suspicious. And that person who had a last minute bandwagon against them turns out innocent.

Or in this case...There was Eonwe and Elf-warrior, of those two I would vote for Elf-warrior, but I would prefer to vote Nerwen. If Nerwen's not here to defend herself, a last minute bandwagon against Nerwen might turn out horribly. But, also in this case Nerwen is here, and she has yet to say anything to make me not vote for her.

Me too. Though I'm not really sure - Nerwen posts while EW doesn't, but she's also so much more suspicious, yet she doesn't have any votes yet whereas EW has three.

I read through Nogrod's posts because I kept having a nagging bad feeling about him, but he still looks innocent.

edit: xed with Shasta
edit2: one>three. Somehow I only thought of the last vote count when writing this post and didn't take into account the fact that Form and Eomer had voted for EW.

And I'm always nervous about after having 2-3 choices, deciding to bandwagon against someone else, and that person isn't even hear to explain themselves. But Nerwen has now made her presense known, so maybe something will come up.

Elf-Warrior's behavior surely is odd, but I agree that his behavior doesn't look like a hacker. It's not helpful, but the only reason I can see EW being a hacker is if they are sacrificing him.

But what would be the reason? I doubt hackers would just wantonly sacrifice themselves, there would have to be some sort of reason. I can see Eomer's reasoning that he is the spammer, and thus he's sacrificing himself for someone he thinks is a hacker.

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to, but at least to Nerwen it has been pretty clear that I'm planning to vote for her.
Anyway, I don't find it very likely EW is a wolf, but if he continues playing the way he does, he's only dead weight.

Okay, back.

I am still not keen on the reasoning behind Kitanna's vote (see #167 & #169), to the extent that I think I will give Aganzir a pass this time.

I can't really see any good reason not to vote The Elf-Warrior, after his latest effort; however, if he is a wolf rather than the spammer (I think he must be one or the other), then this is surely a pre-arranged suicide.

EDIT: X'd with everyone since Aganzir at #210.

EDIT2: clarification– if he's the spammer it's just a suicide.
