++Kath for rep

I agree with much that she has said toDay, while Ilya I can't get a good enough read on as she didn't post much at all toDay.

It's been a long day and I'm really tired. I might come back and post later tonight, but don't count on it. Again, my participation will be limited tomorrow, but I promise to be around to make at least some posts.

I managed to get here quickly before leaving this horrible wet and cold country. It seems the reps are Lommy, Rune and Kath. Is that right? If yes, I'm very content because they all are people I think are innocent (though one of them hates me, alas ) and I trust their judgement.

Hmmm. Yeah, I'd better be going now so I won't be late, I still have a few things to do before I leave. Have a nice rest of the Day, and if you don't get the wolf then have a nice next Day as well.

Well, I really have very little to say. I could go and analyse someone, but that feels a bit pointless since Brinn already provided us with the quotes that matter. Of course, there is stuff to be learnt from other posts too. Also, I'm rather convinced Gwath is the last wolf, so I don't even feel like doing research - why try to find out something you know already? I know an attitude like this is terribly unhealthy, so I will try to look at someone else's posts later toDay.

I can sympathise with Gwath's frustration at the suspicions directed to him, but italso looks a bit wolvish. I mean, at least I'm more bothered by inconcrete accusations against myself when I'm a wolf (or a gifted, or an ordo on a Day the village can'yt afford to lose an innocent).

Well, Gwath, my problem with that is I suspect you the most not because you'd look incredibly wolvish (although others have raised good points against you which I agree with), but because everybody else looks far more innocent. Thus, logically, you are my main suspect. (Besides, after you and Gaunt got me-wolf lynched so close to victory in Eomer's game, I feel like assuring that you-wolf won't get to win this time. Well, ok, that was not of course what I'm really thinking. It just occured to me and I had to say it aloud.)

I have no idea what to make of Gil's sudden reappearance... well, let's hope he reads through the thread (or at least some of it, poor one ) and makes some interesting contributions. He's a smart guy when he bothers to actually think about stuff and post.

Important Notice re Gil-galad's return.

Since obviously not everyone will wish to speak openly about this for tactical/ in-game reasons If anyone has strong feelings about this issue could you PM the moddesses ASAP?

We should probably start talking about who to lynch, I know that all the representatives have voiced suspicion about Gwath, but I think we should look into other options as well.

Anyways I am working on my paper again today, but I will dedicate some hours to analysing later today. Until then I will not be overly active unless something special happens. . .

I have chosen to look at posts from the time after we lynched the two wolfs.

Ilya
: Has done very little posting of substans since then, but made sure to come back and vote. I am not going to go over her posts where she just states who has voted or where she just says hello.

Gwath is still too slippery for me to get a good read on yet. It was kinda funny our reactions were worded similarly, yeah. Although, the points we made were different.

Interesting point about Sally's eagerness to double-lynch. Hadn't thought of that, although it is the sorta triple-double ploy thinking that can be spun either way.

I understand Rune's day 4 frustrations, though. It sucks when you're wrong and I think Rune's writing style favors hyperbole.

I'll vote in about an hour or so, after I've done some non-WW-related work.
Nothing that really stands out here, she seems to voice the same conserns as everybody else. . .except that she understood my reactions. I don't know if that meens anything, but of course I was glad to see somebody understood why I was annoyd with MormeGeil being a wolf.

Then in post 1565 she votes for Brinn and then does almost nothing until she votes for me and yet again dissapears.

So she is quite the submarine, the very thing that made me suspect her in the first place, but for some reason she seems rather genuin. . .
I really wish that she would contribute more as that would make me feel better about not suspecting her.

I am quite disapointed that you did not actually do so, I am also disapointed that Kath have not showed. . .I guess the Americans are excused, but still.

The problem is for me that I don't get anywhere just by throwing around random theories, I need people to comment on them in order for my opinion to be formed properly.

Anyways it seems Gwath's death is just around the corner as Kath said she would most likely vote for him and since he was also on my list of lynch candidates.

As I said I would have loved to discuss other options, but since no one has ingaged in dialog I will probably end up voting for him. Brinn is of course still an option, but for some reason I have not focused that much on her of late. Then there is Lommy and Greenie, but to be honest I have not convinced my self of their guilt. . .this is where I really could have used some dialog.
Ilya and Nerwen put me in office and I have not seen anything really wolfish from them in a while, although maybe one ought to have looked at what Sally said about Nerwen before she got lynched.

I will vote soon

Hi I am here! Sorry about that. I got on the 'Downs intending to post, made it as far as the Scarburg thread and then my father arrived home with numerous injuries (entirely his own fault - nothing life threatening) and had to be taken care of. Now it is nearly time for me to go so what I will do is this. On my skim through the thread I saw that Gwath had replied to those comments I made so I will go and look at that and any other of his posts toDay. I will then also go and look at Brinn because I actually agree with Lommy that if Gwath is not a wolf then Brinn does seem likely. I didn't think this until my skim-through just now when something popped out at me. I'll reread and see if it still seems odd.

So, expect a couple of posts from me in the next half an hour or so and then a vote.
