Once was a stand alone comment. With what I'm thinking was a play on words. The second time was... spoken directly. The two comments were *eyebrow raised* about the same. And I'm just wondering if there's good reason for me to act on what I thought I saw in them-

But I want to make sure there was actually something I was seeing, and that I wasn't imagining it based on who I think is what. You know?

Thanks. That narrows it down. Now, were the comments in question on the same page, or seperate?

Ah, Fea! I think I know what you mean now. Because you mentioned Nog before, I was assuming what I was looking for had something to do with Nog. It's something different, yes? If so then I certainly know what you mean.

So just what is this thing with Nogrod, anyhow? I don't think everyone but Fea and the phantom should be kept out of the loop on this.

I'm pleased to see that Boro has been noticing quite a bit. But not so pleased he's actually throwing the direct quotes up. Careful lad. Perhaps I don't want attention called to some things. Now, anyway.

And yes, I realize that perhaps you're doing just the opposite. In which case, thanks.

Oh yes, I agree that Sally and Mac are probably up to something. But both of them have pleased me with their reactions. In addition, Mac possibly spotted something and had a positive reaction to it. He could just be playing well as a Critic/Cobbler, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And Sally, well, I could never bring myself to kill a fellow Nebraskan. If you go after her this early I won't be happy with you.

Votes
Caileom: Nog
Mac: Menel
Nog: sally
Gwath: Nog
Shasta: tgwbs
tgwbs: Fea
Nog-2, Menel-1, sally-1, tgwbs-1, Fea-1

Of these I'd probably vote Nog. I don't have that many options anyway, I've been too lazy/tired to do anything productive today.

Bleh... I can't think the best now. It's morning. My mind doesn't hit full operation until at least six in the evening.
Well, I've just woken up *contented sigh* so my logic's probably fuzzy, but....

If the diva/devo comes out then we have a known innocent and everyone automatically trusts them. Beautiful. However, if they stay hidden for perhaps a few Days then everyone will give more honest reactions to that person (for instance if I am the diva and Phantom is constantly trying to have me killed perhaps we should look more closely at our Man in Black....and yes, that WAS a gratuituous Princess Bride reference. Deal with it.) thus allowing us to learn more about the others in the game. As for me, I'm fine with the diva staying in the shadows or coming into the spotlight. Either one is acceptable, as it's ultimately their choice anyway.

Erm, gone through up to about the start of the vote rush, so I'll finish catching up and put in my two cents.

If the diva comes out, they should not be automatically trusted. Because how do we know it's not a false reveal? Which is why the diva should remain hidden...it'd be better off if they became a target for the wolves.

Indeed it is....especially since very few seem to find me innocent-looking anymore. How I miss the Days of being an assumed innocent...

Very true. I'm just saying that assuming it IS the real diva, they'd be a known innocent. The possibility of someone lying is a given, but I rather skirted around it. My apologies.


Hmmmm....Nog seems to be a bit off to me. But I've never been terribly good at reading the fellow, and I'm afraid that if I voted him it would be just because he voted for me. At the same time, he was rubbing me as a bit off before he voted me, so I may fall either way.

Mac's vote looks a bit off. Mostly because I can't see too much suspicious about Menel, and it seems a bit....random. I'll go over the little green fellow's posts, though, and see what I can see.

What happened to Phantom and Boro only talking to each other? And why does Fea insist on speaking in code? I'm sure there's a reason for it, but if you have a theory please bring it forward so the village can all benefit from it. Unless you and your beloved Phantom wish to be alone, that is.

Macalaure has some kind of odd suspicion of me. Could be innocent Day One behavior, but I still don't like it.

The wild man who be short is being helpful enough, and I like his caveman-speak enough that I'll let him go for now.

He has a good point about Fea, who seems to be going off-topic a lot, speaking in code, and being tricksy as he calls it.

I'm leaning a little towards either Fea or Mac, but not that strongly.
So of all his 'suspects' (or lack thereof), he votes Mac because Mac suspects him? I lied. Menel does look a bit fishy now. I mean, I may not be happy that people suspect me, but them suspecting me doesn't necessarily make them guilty. Seems much more like a self-preservation tactic than anything else.

I suppose my first three choices are Menel, Nog, and Mac, semi in that order.

If you're innocent, you know that everyone suspecting you is not suspecting a wolf but can't know if it happens by accident or intentionally, so I don't think retaliating is usually suspicious.

edit: xed with about five people since Boro. Nice that you're all posting now.

Well, I really didn't have much to go on about who to vote for, but it was mainly the fact that he didn't expalin much about why he suspected me when I asked him about it that troubled me.

And I'm still waiting to hear what you found regarding Nogrod, Fea, as are all of us. If you found something suspicious, I think everyone deserves to hear it.

There's a lot of people left, I'll get out of the way and take a gander at what some others are doing...

I wish not to cause Lariren to fear someone else at night, but I can't resist this reference. In fact, this scared the crap out of me - and if anyone catches what I'm referencing, well I'll consider giving you a pass for tomorrow. Because knowing this would moderately be impressive:

Are you ready for tak?
Tak-a-lah, tak-a-wah
tak-tak, tak-a-Mac


I guess to make it more formal

I have a feeling I now know what that is. It has to do with the interesting post?

I want to hear more from Mac before voting him.

Sally has said little of substance. Noggie gives more substance, but I find of what he does say, I tend to disagree with more. Of all the candidates so far, he's the one who gives me the biggest wolfish vibe. A feeling is not much, but it's all I can really offer. I don't have time to give it more thought, and I wouldn't mind at all seeing him lynched.

Oh boy, I'm gonna be late to my appointment...

Why so surprised Brinn? Isn't it just good that I'm able to find you innocent-looking despite how much I usually suspect you?
