Mith or Shasta? Shasta or Mith?

That seems to be the question of the day, and as a rare occurrence in my career with this game, I'm wishing we could double-lynch... I'm inclined to suspect both, and I'd be willing to sacrifice the other to catch one.

Murphy's Law: figures it'd be a game that forbid double-lynching that would see me want it.

Of the two, I'm more liable to vote Mith. Although the Shasta has its merits, Mith was on my radar earlier.

Besides these candidates, however, I've still got Nogrod stuck in my mind. I'm sure that if a bandwaggon came along, I'd put my signature to that vote with glee, but standing with just my own suspicions, I keep having second thoughts to the effect of "he's just too much of a philosopher, and you're suspicious as a philosophy student yourself that he's got wheels inside of wheels inside of wheels." Be that as it may, he's still on my radar.

I've mentally put Boromir, Aganzir, and Eönwë in the category of "innocent", and I'm really not sure why. This troubles me... but not enough to suspect them.

If it helps, Form, Nogrod is pinging my radar as well. :P I wouldn't be averse to voting him... if I didn't have to save myself.

I could vote for Nogrod too.

I'll eat my hat with feathers and all if neither Mith nor Nog is a wolf, and today I'd prefer trying Nog.

First of all you know you don't need to act on that promise as Mith is a wolf. So interesting that toDay you think you'd not be so keen to lynch Mith...

As much as I'm suspicious of Nogrod, the fact that the offer to lynch him comes from you and Shasta doesn't incline to voting that way. Though you, Agan have been on my "innocent" list, I agree wtih Nogrod that there's a definite air of steering the vote in the last minutes, and Shasta is just too tainted right now... unless Mith turns out to be a wolf, I'm not putting any faith in his innocence, and even then... he might not be a wolf, but he could be the Cobbler.

Leaning Mithways, but given her lead in the votes thus far, I'll hold off a moment or three.

First of all, I'm SO sorry. My aunt called and then....well, I just spaced this off pretty much. I'm not going to subject you all to another long post right before deadline, so here goes a brief thought/how-I-plan-to-vote summation.


Why do our only two candidates seem to be Mith and Shasta? I know, y'all have said it too, so they're really not the only two candidates. I'm not saying that I wouldn't vote for them, only that they're getting too much attention. Hmmmm....we DO still have a cobbler out there. Maybe Mith or Shasta is too busy making delicious crumbles to distract us from catching the real wolves.

My top suspects (Mith aside) are still Form and Noggie. I won't bother you with why right now (again, sorry about that....*mutters*) but it's essentially a gut feeling. Noggie's still feeling wrong to me, and Form, although I've not played with him before now, just seems right to be a wolf. Wish I had more time to explain my hunches; hopefully I'm alive toMorrow to make myself more plain. Maybe I'm (semi)alone in that, but I'd go for lynching either one of them.


Posting, then catching up. X'd since a few minutes ago, so anything's possible.


EDIT: indeed, X'd a lot. Somewhere around Form's post about Mith and Shasta.

Interesting that you lump Nogrod with me, since this inclines to me think him more innocent. Knowing my innocence, if you're getting from him the same vibe you're getting from me, then it seems probable that we're both innocent.

This assumes, of course, that you, Sally are innocent, which I'm not fully willing to grant, though you've struck me as more that than the alternative on a consistent basis.

It also assumes, of course, that Nogrod's style as wolf and style as innocent isn't drastically similar... but regardless, this does incline me to de-suspect him, at least slightly.

We're in the final minutes of the game there are 5 votes cast, with a Mith/Shasta tie...

I'll stick to my guns, though the hints (suspicious as they are) of a Nogrod bandwaggon has its appeal.

This speaks of oddness to me; When the possibility of a Form-wagon rears its ugly head, suddenly both Nogrod and Form become decisive.

Hmm.

Well, given where it seems I was headed, I'm doubly glad I voted Mith--both because I've no desire to die yet, and secondly because the only confirmed Innocent (at least in this skull) is me, thus bad repercussions for the village if I die.

Still suspicious of both Rikae and Sally, but I'm just fair-minded enough to admit that I could be allowing their votes to cloud my vision. Of the two, Rikae remains vastly the more suspicious, as Sally has given more, better reasoning throughout.

Different vibes, same conclusion. Not at all what you're implying, love.

He's been on my bad side (wolfwise) all game, so I'm going for it.

Continuously stating the obvious is rarely endearing.
