Actually, we don't have to. We'd just better do so because we haven't killed a single wolf yet and it's already Day4... This is starting to get almost depressing...

Well, depressing really, but I'm in a good mood otherwise, so I can't be depressed, so that's why the "almost" was in there... Besides, I guess I have to admit this is almost amusing because this is going so disastrously... I mean, often it feels like the village was just full of cobblers.

edit: xed with Nog

Phantom even says he suspected Form "for two days". As we all know, Phantom loves to assume that the gifted do what he suggests. So when Form didn't die the first night via Cobbler-Assassin, he was a perfect scapegoat for Phantom-wolf to try and save Fea, even if it did look forced.

...That made so much more sense in the shower...

Maybe I'm just illiterate of a morning. Ugh. I've rethought and decided Phantom might be a wolf, and not just a cobbler.

++ Phantom

Must dash. Probably won't be around again today. If I am, it'll be for about five minutes snagged on a library computer.

Exactly. Our numbers are still good what comes to the victory-conditions but if we lynch an innocent and lose one during the Night with no assassination then toMorrow there will be four votes wishing us make the wrong decisions and only four to counter that. And two of those ill-wishers will know each other.

You know, when I first read that, I read "Just a reindeer". Must be all this subsitution of "radar" for the above mentioned creature of the North.

I said I would share some of my earlier thoughts on Durelin, so I will:

This comment actually reminds me of something Aganzir said when she was a wolf. Such a statement can easily make someone rethink their suspicions, especially when what's been said was true in the past. But it doesn't mean it's true this time. The statement is a perfect excuse for a wolf to say "don't lynch me."

Later...her vote for Fea. Durelin voted her first which at first glance may make her seem less guilty, but Fea was already talked about as a candidate...she just seemed to be very much an opportunist there.

I think Greenie might be evil.

I don't know about Brinniel or phantom.
These one line statements are odd...I don't know what to think of them.

And then her attacks on Nogrod after he attacks her...what to think about that? Would a Durelin-wolf so strongly go after an innocent Nogrod? (And the same thing could be said vice versa.) Is it really that possible that both could be wolves? On a Day that either one could be lynched...I just don't know.

Maybe Durelin isn't a wolf, but just a cobbler. Either way, I don't think her intentions are good.

Who should I vote for toDay?

Candidates:
Durelin- still seems like a wolf or cobbler to me, but which?
Thinlómien- While I don't find her overly suspicious, she has been slipping under my radar which worries me.
Nogrod- I always feel inclined to trust him since he's so helpful and that's bad for me to do. I wonder if perhaps his suggestion to vote Fea yesterDay was actually something sinister...and I still don't know what to think about him and Durelin going at each other.
the phantom- He remains such a big mystery to me...and because of that I'm constantly worried about him. I don't think there's a huge chance of me voting him toDay, but he's definitely someone I still want to really watch.

Not:
Kath- Is either an innocent or cobbler. But I don't think a wolf.
Shastanis Althreduin- While some of his reasoning is off, it looks more like the reasoning of an innocent. Maybe it's more of a gut feeling than anything...but I don't think he's evil.
Nerwen- I'm less certain about her, but she seems less suspicious toDay so I don't have any reason to vote her.
A Little Green- I found her suspicious at first, but these last couple Days she's been looking more and more innocent.
Eönwë- I still think he's innocent. His behaviour seems innocentish.

EDIT: X-ed with Nogrod

This is very wolvish. I don't know whether I should vote for him after all. His reaction that the ones who vote for him are wolves or cobblers seems furry. The whole post screams "Look look I'm just a poor little Nog and the baddies are trying to kill me! (And if you vote for me you are a baddie. Therefore you shouldn't do so! *wink wink*)"

Oh yes, I know I'm grasping at straws now. But there's little else to grasp at...

Cobblers: Shasta and Kath
Wolves: Nogrod and Brinniel or Greenie

I'll have to vote in about an hour and a half because I then have class until after the deadline.

I'll try and actually talk about other people besides Nog before that....

Do you mean that when I'm innocent I try to get the village in trouble?

Oh my reading through and looking at several persons at the same time really takes time -at least from me. I'm only through Day1 now. Just as prelimnary points I'd say that Nerwen and Shasta look good. Of Greenie, Brinn and Dury it's harder to say: there are things drawing on different directions. I hope the later Days give me some more to go.
