You, on the other hand, were in the bandwaggoning position. You turned it from a suspicion into a lynch candidate. After someone gets three votes, people just attach themselves onto that or one of the others with a similar amount of votes.

Worse than that.

I started talking about lynching Fea in the first place and the others sticked to it as they clearly were as confused as I was.

But the wolves (and possibly cobblers) at that time... They must have thought of my "case-making" as a heaven sent gift...

So I'd really look at that Fea-waggon with that in mind. I supplied the wood but the ignition was a responsibility of four (Dury, Brinn, Lommy and me).

The sad thing is that at least towards the end the wolves might have thought it better to separate themselves from the lynching crowd and make themselves look good *cough Shasta, cough tp*

And who says Greenie is innocent as she writes seldomly and votes early? That's the safest position...

I'm coming back in a minute with the non-voter-stuff so let it be for now...

[Nogrod]

Those of us who have voted everyDay:
Shasta
Durelin
Brinniel
Nogrod
Greenie

the phantom - was a minute late on Day1.
Lommy - was late on Day2 because of a misunderstanding as we shared the same computer the three of us.


Those not voting everyDay:
Eönwe - voted an hour late on Day1, did not vote on Day3.
Nerwen - did not vote on Day3.
Kath - did not post or vote on Day1, did not voter on Day3.


My conclusions about that:
Eönwe, Nerwen and Kath look more innocent than guilty because of their failures. If we're looking at the wolves they would vote everytime humanely possible.

That means I will not think of any of the three "non-voters" as granted innocents but will have it as my general "working hypothesis". And anyhow. Someone winning a game by consciously not-posting doesn't earn the victory. It will taste shallow in her/his mouth and we others will scorn that kind of victory.


So I believe our wolves are among those who have voted all the time. Criss-crossing a table with whom I have left unnoticed and who have voted everyDay will give me the "search-book" for this Day (eg. tomorrow after work).

Good night!

Do something!

Anything!


EDIT X'd with tp.

[Nogrod]

Dury and Brinn?

It would fit many schemes... not the least yesterDay's action.

Just a gut-feeling. I'll try to look at it after I've slept and had a full day's work...

[Nerwen]

Hello. Anyone around?

I'm really sorry about my absence on Day 3. I couldn't help it, though.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I still think Phantom is a possible cobbler. Something about his "vote to save Fea" yesterday seemed very forced to me. She already had four votes to Form's three, counting his own, and I'm virtually sure Phantom can at least count that high.

No, it looks fishy to me. And trust me. I'm a roane. I know what fish smells like.

tp has certainly managed to create plenty of confusion– I'm certainly not prepared to say he isn't a cobbler. However– to give him the benefit of the doubt– there were a whole lot of votes coming in the last few minutes, and it's very easy to lose track in that situation. *shrugs*

Something about me voting for Form over Fea was forced, eh?

Yeah, because goodness knows I didn't suspect Form at all.

Oh, no wait- I did. For two days.

And goodness knows I wouldn't want to save Fea, because we've never played WW together and done a couple of RPGs together and traded thousands of PMs/emails/IMs over the years.

Oh, no wait- we have.

Doesn't really seem that forced given the fact that I was on good terms with Fea and suspecting Form.

You're grasping desperately here Shasta. You worried that I'm innocent or something and want me out of the way?

She already had four votes to Form's three, counting his own, and I'm virtually sure Phantom can at least count that high.

Oh yes, because I knew for certain that my vote would be the final vote cast, because there wasn't anyone else left to vote.

Oh, no wait- six people hadn't voted yet. Which means all Fea needed to save her was ONE of those six people to come in and vote Form. Obviously it was a possibility.

Yeesh, Shasta, it's like you're not even trying.

Either that or you're trying too hard.

[the phantom]

Okay, I don't know how helpful this will be, but I'm going to attempt to rule out a couple of WW pairs based on the voting.

Day 1:
Leaders were proven non-Wolves. No conclusions.

Day 2:
Nerwen & Lommy probably not a pair.
Kath & Lommy probably not a pair.
Durelin & Nogrod probably not a pair.

Day 3:
Leaders were proven non-Wolves. No conclusions.
