I understand - and have experience of it for a bit too many times - that when one is innocent and generally suspected (or strongly by a few) one would like to just counter-argue the points raised and try to survive (getting lynched is an inncoent lynch and you know it yourself)... but wouldn't it be better to also try and help?~Nogrod
When innocent, I don't get the "I still want to help" urge if people are after me. I get the "Idiots, you're absolutely wrong, I hope when I'm proven innocent this comes back to kick you in the rear, for the fact that you are wrong" feeling. Which is why I will leave the McCaber thing to rest, for now, I've said all I've needed to say and I won't repeat myself. But I am willing to bet it all that he's a wolf, and if I'm wrong, maybe I deserve to be lynched.

Nerwen - still probably my best bet. The decision would be easier if only she felt suspicious. But she doesn't.
Fea - a lot of strangeness in her, but her bluff still makes her seem innocent to me.
Boro - probably innocent.
McCaber - is really trying hard to make himself look bad today.
Mith - has not done anything to make me suspicious in this game.
Izzy - could be the wolf, but isn't a top-shelf suspect for me right now.

I'm definitely not going to vote for Fea, Boro, or Mith. But which one of the other three?

I may not have been able to look at all posts in-depth(ly); but the gut feeling.


I am in need of heading out the door now.

I would probably vote for Nerwen now, but it almost seems unfair seeing that she would finally be able to give more input from tomorrow on.

What I don't like about voting McCaber is that, if he's innocent, I won't be able to tell Boro that I told him so.

Voting Izzy seems pointless right now, and I'm not convinced enough of her guilt to start a last minute campaign.

Exactly my words! And her latest post was a good one indeed (hah, someone's points are good if they agree with my own... ).

Also what you Mac say of McCaber I have to agree: even if Boro's case against him looks a bit far-fetched (even if possible and ingeniously made by Boro) his posting toDay has been terrible with all those slips made under pressure...

Any idea on the tally? Two votes for Nerwen, right but are there others?

I'd be inclined to try out McCaber more than Nerwen right now. As Izzy said - although making the opposite decision - ... the gut feeling...

Perhaps it would be a good idea if you didn't hold your vote to the end this time Nogrod, let's see what some of the unknowns decide this time.

I mean even if there have been time constraints on Nerwen she has actually played somewhat actively and would earn to play toMorrow.

Hah, don't be.

But use toMorrow well if you can spare some time - and are an innocent (if we fail toDay that is).

Good luck to all of you!
(and don't underestimate Fëa)

Well, it looks like you're all going to lynch me. I'm not going to bother defending myself any further– then you'll just jump on me for being "defensive".

Besides, I honestly don't see what I have to defend myself against. Yeah, I suspected some people who turned out to be innocent. So have all of you.

At least I didn't get any innocents lynched.

While I'm still here... someone look at Izzy toMorrow. I keep forgetting about her.

EDIT: X'd since Izzy at #579.

Everyone by way of his character...


Btw. reasons I think Fëa should be looked a bit more closely include - on top of those I made in my two posts on Fëa and Nerwen earlier toDay - are these:
- She seems to be pretty ready to defend herself even if a light suspicion is thrown at her this late in the game when the stakes are getting higher.
- She has carefully limited her suspicions to a few only (mainly Boro - which has been done in a banterish way so as to not look serious threat to Boro), Mith (with all the apologies and stuff) and Shasta).
- Today she has mainly discussed the matter of why Nilp chose the dreams he did which I think is a complete waste of time and effort - but it doesn't normally raise suspicions as no one gets suspected by that and no retaliations will follow which is very important at this phase to the last wolf.

So please consider her as well toMorrow if we don't get the wolf toDay.


EDIT: X'd from Nerwen onwards...

Will do, even though Fea (along with Mith) haven't looked suspicious to me at all, the bottom line is they aren't known innocents and it's dangerous to let them run free. I'm a little more confident in Mith's innocence, because she's the calming breath of fresh air Mith, and I'm 99% certain if Mith was a wolf she would have lynched me on Day 1 no questions asked.

Fea, while has been crazy, as she said she's demented and we all know that. But it's an enjoyable kind of dementia, hasn't seemed evil. But, there can't be any harm in considering something evil behind it all.

Edit: crossed with everyone since Mith's post.

Yes were I a wolf these are exactly the people I would want to keep at endgame - NOT. 3 people I have wolfed with and Nogrod who generally spots me as a wolf and Fea ..... Fea is worrying me a lot now. Again it is hard when you know how brilliant people can be as wolves to trust them. With McCaber and Issy there is this WOW issue Ican't decide on ., gah must choose.

Posted without reason due to time factor. If not Mc Caber need to rethink. If Nerwen is innocent her input may be most helpful.
