Gollum the Great has just left Hobbiton.
Sorry, Legate, it might be described as sort of "gut feeling", but I'm bad at illustrating my own suspicions.

Okay, at least something. (Be prepared though, that if you use "gut feeling" too often and nothing else for reasoning, you may find yourself being mistrusted soon.)

Why is everybody throwing threats at newbies in this game?

I'm going to sleep now... as a parting comment I will say that I really like the current level of activity, let's hope it keeps up...

These are no threats, but well-meant advices. (Even though I may be speaking to a nasty Were-warg... or two )

Stop threatening people Legate, or I'll suspect you!

My, my, yesterDay was a disaster. The voting was way too spread out. The fact that Samwise was lynched because he was the first to hit a three-way tie is plain ridiculous. Nothing good ever comes of something like that. And I'm sad to see Samwise go...not only because he was a gifted but he was a member I've never played with before and would've liked to.

YesterDay also seemed strangely quiet. I know I'm one of those to blame (due to RL), and I understand others have RL confliccts too...but of course it makes it easier for a baddie to hide among the quiet.

Again, I apologise for not voting. It was so early in the Day and I had not the slightest idea who to vote for...if I made a completely random vote, I was worried I might be partially responsible for getting an innocent lynched. It would've been just distracting for me to point a finger at someone when I didn't have anyone to point a finger at. While I'd like to be more active toDay, I can't make any promises. RL has been quite stressful, and when I signed up for this game I didn't know that this week would be so busy for me. However, I will definitely vote toDay and if I'm still alive Day 3, I know for sure I'll be able to participate more.

I have a problem with this part of Brinn's post, why is she appoligsing and not sticking to her guns instead? I mean it is one thing if you by accident do not vote and then the next day appoligise for it, but not voting was choise she made and if she thought it was the right thing to do yesterday then surely that has not changed?

Also I would like to make it clear that by not voting you are actually more responsible for getting an innocent lynched than if you made a seemingly random vote, because even though one feel like it is random it is always based on something. . . it might be tone in the post or some other small thing, but at least you tried to get a traitor and there is more chance of you saving an innocent by voting than by not voting.

All this being said; it is not that I am heavily suspecting Brinn, it is more that I think she acted wrongly.
