Nice, some more posting going on...

Hmm... a few notes. Lommy: Makes me somewhat more aware than before, it's hard to define it, but simply put, I could say that I got the feeling from her post whether the intention with which she wrote her first summary back then was not different originally and now she only re-interpretated it in the light of what we others said about it. Also, she seems in any case to incline to suspect everybody - just for an example, this:

I find it a little eyebrow-raising, just because I would not expect that conclusion. It's in the spirit of her first post, which I thought jok-y, because it's unusual (at least I don't recall her acting like that before, anyway) - "1+1=2, therefore a wolf." "2+2=4, therefore a wolf." She seems to look on everything from the worst possible perspective, which does not fit to her for me.

Also, Lommy seems to me intentionally going somewhat against the flow (like: "Kitanna is suspected, but I won't vote her"). Maybe really Mith's cobbler-theory has something in it...?

Oh no, not again...

Yes, actually I think so too! But I said: more than usual. But maybe I am just more attentive of it.

Brinniel: It is hard to say if her non-vote is because she is innocent and have that "I am going to do what I want atitude" or it is because she is evil.
I think we have all tried doing something that we knew would seem suspicous in the eyes of others, but went ahead and did it anyway.
Still I think it is very annoying that she did not vote. . .
Yes, that's a problem, but I say: okay, now she says she simply doesn't have time etc. and won't vote, all right then. But then let's see what she behaves like tomorrow!

EDIT: x-ed with Kath and those after her

What? You suspect me for seeing everything in suspicious light and use as an example a quote where I say two players seem rather innocentish? And I really have no idea where did that point of yours originate from in the first place, unless it was from the accusation-throwing post (which wasn't serious, like I said), because if you look at it, I don't really suspect anyone very much at the moment, I think I was far more talking about people's possible innocence in my last post. I'm getting slightly worried, or then I'm just baffled...

Blast. I am getting blind. Okay, I take it back. I read it as "Gaunt and Gollum... AS NEWBIE WOLVES", because you said something similar in the first post of yours (about newbie wolves being likely around here), so I thought you are continuing around the same lines. Okay, okay, horrible actually. Anyway, to the second thing you said, yes, I was referring to your very first post... because you did not seem to be so sure whether it was all a joke or not, resp. you seemed more unsure about it being joke than I have expected (now talking about the parts you did not specifically mention as having a grain of serious suspicion or whatever in it).

EDIT: x-ed with Nog.

Okay, people, one more clarification: I was not seriously suspecting anyone in my accusation-throwing post. I was just trying to provoke reactions/discussion and also see if anyone could be seen as suspicious because no one seemed so to me. Thus, the points are valid notions in principle, but they hardly have any value, and I do not suspect anyone based on them or "stand behind" those points, except the two I singled out later. (If it's this complicated, I'll never again try suspicion-throwing as a discussion-creator... *deep sigh* Well, if we're lucky, maybe we can even learn something from all this mess. Maybe.)
