Everybody has been very quiet in the last couple of Days.

ToDay I posted 6½ hours after the deadline and was the first to say anything.

Is everybody just incredibly busy or is somebody laying low intentionally?

Only recently... that is, I've been too busy to post most of the day, and lately I've been waiting to see if anyone else would say anything.

I wish I had so much time that I could go through everybody's rep votes... I think that'd reveal something: I doubt the wolves voted people who were strongly after their fellows to be reps...

Moddess note

I am sorry I haven't been around as a meddling moddess recently - my father is in hospital and so domestic matters have dominated.

No one contacted me when I asked before about Gil-Galad and I don't think any of the others were either. You are all still free to contact the moddesses with your opinions though there is of course no guaruntee that they will be acted upon at this late stage.

It'd be nice to have a primary lynching vote and vote for a rep/reps (depending on whether we want a double lynch or not) to represent the majority vote. But the flaw in this plan is that if a wolf is a rep and this is indeed the decisive Day, then that wolf could vote for whoever they want and get away with it. I was thinking yesterDay this was a nice idea, but toDay not so much...

What would help is if everyone could participate as much as possible. Actually make substantial posts and do some research. I guess we can't expect that from Gil, but everyone else should. And for goodness gracious, don't forget to vote toDay.

I have classes most of the day, so I can't exactly post much substance now. But I promise to in the evening. I feel bad about that since most of you will have voted and been off to bed by then, but it can't be helped. Stupid time zones. Bah, I guess this is yet another reason why I should get my butt back to Europe.

Hello, all. Maybe I'm being silly, but what if it is Gil?

Is this wolf dialogue? My immediate reaction was "no" but now I'm actually wondering... They'd be rather sneaky...

That smiley there... I might be making too much out of it, but I don't think a wolf would need to address a fellow that way... looks more like trying to be nice to an innocent.

But I surely do wish to see her more so not someone I'd wish to see lynched toDay.
This, on the other hand, makes me raise my eyebrows. Nerwen's words were more of a joke, I think. So is he trying to show her in good light, or is he just buddying up an innocent once again?

As a note for myself, I'm on page 13 in my reread. As a note for you, currently think the last wolf is either Brinn or Nerwen.
