If it indeed was a tactic, I would think it was yours - a way to go around the problem that you are generally suspected the least and thus would be the most logical kill.

Why wasn't there a kill last Night? The narration almost indicates that it was done on purpose, but I can't see why the wolf would try such a risky move even if it was for a setup. I'd think that the final wolf would want to play it safe and eliminate the number of players as fast as possible, but maybe I'm wrong. Though with so many players having RL issues going on, the possibility that the wolf simply made a goof and forgot is quite plausible.

Oh goodness, I had to get up at 4am this morning for a flight and after a four hour nap I'm still dead tired. I'll be around later this evening hopefully feeling a little more alive to post some thoughts. Even though I should probably be doing my homework at that time. Oh, how WW is a great way to procrastinate...

Yeesh, where is everyone? I feel like we've all just given up on this game or something.

The idea of having only one rep does not sound appealing. Especially since in comparison to some other players, I don't exactly trust Rune. Though two reps isn't much better since both reps would have to agree on one player or else create a double lynch (unless one receives more votes). Three reps would be the best way to keep things unslanted.

So in order to have more reps than less, I'll vote for one of the two who have already voted:

++Greenie for rep

Heroes is on right now, so don't expect me to post again for the next hour.

Ilya has just left Hobbiton.
Shield

This village got awfully quiet after Boro and TP left, but still, no kill? Something Brinn said yesterday struck me, ya'll. We're being lazy. Or, you know, I, at least, am guilty of taking suggested guilt at face value. It was generally assumed both Gwath and Sally were suspicious because some people said they were suspicious a lot, and it's likely the wolf is helping to prompt that suspicion, although the WW obviously isn't the only one speaking out. So: list.

Raised Suspicions Today
Lommy: sorta cleared Rune, waffles about Kath, who is "generally suspected" and the no kill fits her style, suggests ignoring Nerwen and Ilya
Kath: suspicious of Rune for his reaction to the no kill and Brinn for her Legate 180 on Gwath. The no kill could be a trying to frame Gil
Brinn: Doesn't really trust Rune.
Greenie: Rune, Lommy, Nerwen all innocentish. Lost a read on Kath, has no read on Ilya, no evidence to form a read on Gil, and thinks the points brought up about Brinn are valid.

So, another list.
Kath: Suspected sorta by Lommy and by Greenie.
Rune: Suspected by Brinn and Kath. Cleared by Greenie and Lommy
Brinn: Suspected by Kath and Greenie.
Lommy: Cleared by Greenie
Nerwen: Cleared by Greenie
Greenie: No one's really mentioned anything either way. Kath voted for Greenie as a rep just on the basis of activity.
Gil: Could be being set up according to Kath.
Ilya: Put in the question mark column by Greenie, but thinks I'm suspiciousish. Lommy suggests ignoring me.

So, according to the general suspicions of the Nation:
The Heroes
Lommy and Nerwen have both been generally considered innocent. As are John Dunne and Helen Gardener.
On Notice
Brinn, Rune, Kath, and Ilya have all been bandied about as possible suspects.
Dead to Stephen Colbert
Greenie has gone completely without comment by anyone else, and Gil continues to move in ways mysterious to the rest of us.

Will be back in a half-hour or so to vote.

Hurrah, someone's actually posted since me...

Considering the time difference, I'm going to guess that Rune and Kath are most likely not going to show up to vote for a rep. Does anyone else find it strange that they both showed up to post, yet did not vote? It just makes me uneasy when players don't vote so late in the game. When there are less players, it becomes even more critical to vote to keep the game balanced. Because the less votes, the less reps.

Anyways, I'm 99.9% sure Gil won't show up either so it looks like Ilya and Nerwen may be the final voters.

While I'll be around tomorrow, I'll be scarce (response paper due at 3:20 to a novel I'm not done reading, ten page paper due at 6:00 that I haven't yet started). Shout if you need me.
