Indeed. Nor John Donne.

You know, I could really get used to checking in and not finding six new pages... My own fault, I know...

Psh. I was talking about like the first three days when I'd have a one hour class, come back and find like four pages of banter.

It really wasn't that bad catching up yesterday.

Something sad happened and I've been rather down all day, so I couldn't bring myself to actually start thinking about stuff like "who's the last werewolf" but now I feel a little better and will do my best to do something. So, without further whining...

Well, first off, I'm more than surprised to see that this game is still going on. As you might have noticed, I was rather confident that Gwath was our last wolf. Whoever is our last wolf is doing rather convincing job.

I think we shouldn't make too much out of the lack of a kill. It could mean basically anything and we are just going to distract ourselves if we concentrate on it.

Yeah, that wasn't much, I know. I'll be back soon to say more stuff. Meanwhile, I'll let Greenie post.

I just had the worst day in a long while - I don't know how much I'll post toDay. It was lovely, though, that there was a break so I didn't miss much during my time in Paris.

Now to topic, then - I'm surprised that Gwath wasn't guilty, but then, my instincts have been horribly wrong all game. *sigh* I should probably make a list - the ones who are left all seem innocentish to me. Yeah, I probably make a list and then vote a rep. Just by intuition I'd say Lommy and Rune at least are innocent. Yes and Lommy, I'd love to know what that factual evidence is if you only could share it.

Anyone around?

I'M QUITE CONVINCED ARE INNOCENT:
Lommy
Nerwen
Rune
They all seem very innocentish. (Ah what a reason!) Yeah, that's just the general feel I get from their posts. They have good points, react genuinely to things and act reasonably.

I'M NOT CONVINCED ARE INNOCENT:
Kath - I have lost my once-good read on her. I no longer am so sure of her innocence, but I still think she's not the last wolf. (I see I'm not making any sense whatsoever. I'm having a bit of fever and very tired and not quite feeling myself anyway. Ah well.) She brought up good points yesterDay, though.
Brinniel - People have brought up good points about her. Let's say I don't know right now. I don't suspect her, but am not convinced she's innocent, either.
Gil-Galad - I can't be convinced either way with the lack of evidence.
Ilya - Still under my Rudolph, I'm afraid. She's the one I'm most uncomfortable with right now, mainly because I feel generally quite good about the others.

I'm going to sleep soon. Sorry to be like this, but I'm really too tired and confused with everything to concentrate more.

My "evidence"

caught my eye. Could this hint that Ilya is innocent since morm knows so little about her and one could assume he would know his fellow wolf's gender and whether she's a first-timer or not? But surely, it could be just bluff as well... (I remember I was once a wolf with xyzzy and while I was lynched early on he got really far because he pretended to be confused about something related to me, asking "who's Lommy", or something like that.)

Nerwen

I don't know if the wolves would have taken such a risk for no obvious benefits...

Would a wolf say this about a fellow? Spotlight the fact that his fellow has avoided making any ties to him? I don't think so...
Kath

Brinn and Greenie - no "evidence".

Okay, what I now think of my "evidence"...

Nerwen and Ilya evidences don't tell us anything and thus maybe should be ignored... but I still can't do that 100%.

However minor it is, I think my evidence for Rune actually is the most convincing - apart from the Gil evidence, that is. In the case of Rune I'd like to emphasise that it's more often the small things against someone's wolvishness that are true...

As for the Kath evidence... it is the most baffling... I mean, it looks so obvious that a wolf would know who was lynched but it looks equally obvious that an innocent would check whether they're alive or not before posting!

So I will really have to think about stuff...

I'm not gonna bother attempting any long analysis because if Ilya is indeed the final wolf, it'll just be wasted time. But I'll still share some quick thoughts before deadline:

Gil-Galad: Hasn't shown up, therefore nothing new.

Greenie: Is a slippery one. I still can't get a good read on her and while part of me wants to trust her, I'm just not sure.

Lommy: Everyone seems to think her innocent, which worries me. While there's nothing about her that I find particularly suspicious, I can imagine a sneaky Lommy-wolf snickering in the background.

Kath: Is someone I could see as a possible wolf, but I'm not sure.

Nerwen: Hasn't shown up for the second half of the Day. She's still a question mark, yet her quietness does worry me.

Rune: I'm feeling a bit better about him. If he were the wolf, I think he would've gone ahead and chosen to lynch me. After all, a vote for me wouldn't exactly be suspicious coming from him since he does typically suspect me in every game.

Ilya: The one doomed to die. She was another I wasn't sure about. I like her style, though I found it a tad frustrating that she didn't provide a whole lot of substance. Yet, her parting post makes me think she might be innocent after all. The post sounds genuine and as I mentioned, she does give some good advice. 'Tis a shame though that it took her getting lynched to say it.

Hmm...while I'm doubtful of Ilya's guilt, I do hope she actually is the last wolf. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do a lot of research come toMorrow because I have no clue.

Sorry, I simply haven't been able to post all day.


So Ilya's got it. Well, yes, it could be her... still a half-random lynch, though... and though I suspected her earlier in the game, she's seemed fairly okay since then.

*sigh* The trouble is that we've all been too tied up with RL to play properly.

If it's not her, I suggest we take note of her parting words and have a look at the more influential players.

Lommy and Greenie both fit that bill and yet have managed to avoid suspicion... too much so? Hmmn.

And Kath... I'd been thinking she doesn't seem like a Kathwolf, but then I realised I've never played with one. I tend to assume she's innocent, but that's probably not a good thing.

Rune– well, he's another I've been thinking of him as innocent, mainly because it seems to me that a wolf wouldn't have made his ties to morm so obvious... but again that may not be a safe assumption.

Brinniel –well, yes, she's helped build up suspicion on people who turned out innocent, stuff like that... but I don't see her "turnaround" on Gwath as suspicious. It's what I was thinking as I read through yesterDay.

Gil –at least two people have said they don't feel as if there IS a wolf in the game. Maybe he's the reason. We're just assuming Fea wouldn't do that to us.

So yeah, you're all wolves.

EDIT: X'd with Fea. Sorry, O Moddess. I thought I had more time.
