T-I-G LV Sing when you're winning

[Ilya]

Hey everybody: Is it another 48 hour day? Or was that a one-time thing?

Lariren: Hey, you don't have to apologize for being defensive. You've got the right to explain your thought process and you're totally right about posting in agreement and all that.

The Wild Man brought up some valid points about Brinn, too, which really makes me want to do a huge Menel recap. Unless anyone says they mind, I'm gonna clog the thread again.

Agan - It's just my read on him. Bowie's doesn't seem intimidated by more experienced players, and since TP wasn't a huge subject of discussion on Day 1, aside from his cryptic playing with Fea, it might've seemed like as good a time as any to remove the threat. That said, Bowie's post today helped me understand his logic, and I understand his reason for not voting, so I feel slightly better about both him and Lariren now that I've read more of them. Cailin still not so much.

[Ilya]

Give Fea some credit. She's a tricksy back-stabber if I ever saw one. She would totally play along with a ploy and then kill me. Especially if she thought the ploy was real. Or a cover for a gifted (Seer pretending to be the Divo pretending to be a Lover).

*shakes head* Seer pretending to be the Divo pretending to be a Lover. That right there is why the two of you are far better players than I.

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!

Post 32 - Menel:

I'm here, though I don't have a whole lot to say. I wouldn't vote out the tricksy ones, devious though they may be. And our good phantom hasn't really said much yet, so there's nothing to go on for him either.

Post 36 - Agan:

Hi Menel. What about voting you out so I can get all the baddie roles?

Post 37 - Wild Man:

Menel - Why not drive out tricksy headache-maker? Someone must die. We know not who is critic. Ergo, it best to kill tricksy folk. They as likely as anyone to be critic, but if not, at least townsfolk remove headache. Townsfolk then can think clear.

Post 40 - Menel:

Oh, hello Aganzir.

Come now, who between us would be the best baddie anyhow, a human from the White City or someone who can drive people to mass panic by screeching?

And as for the guy who be tarzan, I suggest he take a bath. But to be honest, yes, some of the crazies could stand to be more helpful. Talk of triple-lynching can be risky, even as a joke. Thankfully, we wraiths lack a sense of humor.

Post 51 - Nogrod:

Making the point that a triple lynch (anyway we only can make a double-lynch) might be risky... hmmm... to whom at this point? For the critics themselves I think... one lynch and we probably end up with a fine and innocent singer toDay; a double lynch... the odds to bring down a critic get better... or at least the critics should have more to fear at this early hour if that option is open.

Anyway: confessedly lacking a sense of humour? A well known trait of music-critics over the whole wide world. Artists have fun, critics are grumpy, everyone knows that.

Post 62 - Agan to Menel:

See my avatar. He's my pet and he sings better than you.

Post 64 - Menel:

I agree with the phantom about the cobbler being dangerous. We really need to get him early before he dreams of one of us. Of course, it is also possible that the phantom himself is the cobbler trying to divert attention off of himself by his aggressive stance, so I don't think we can rule anyone out there.

Post 68 - Bowie:

This early? I'm not so certain. I don't think that the phantom would play that...strangely right out of the gate.

Cobbler-sneak is a problem, but I don't think that the cobbler-sneak is a Day 1 problem. I think it's a Day 2 problem. And then we kill them.

Post 73 - Wild Man:

Wild Man feel phantom speaks logic. But phantom indeed tricksy. Menel correct, perhaps phantom cobbler. But Wild Man believe not.

Post 74 - Opera Ghost:

Of course I'm the Cobbler. Mwu ha ha!

Post 85 - Ilya:

Menel: One should never risk one's whole fortune unless supported by one's entire forces.

Post 91 - Mac:

I don't trust Menel and Rikae told me to that Aganzir is maybe not trustworthy.

Post 92 - Menel:

So you don't trust me, Mac? Understandable, considering it's Day One and the bad guys are tough to find, but is there anything in particular that you found odd?

Post 94 - Mac:

Menel - too careful and thus suspicious.

Post 107 - Brinn:

Menel: I feel pretty good about what he's said so far.

Post 112 - Mac:

I have to say I'm a tad disappointed at the meager number of auditions that took place while I was asleep, and more than a tad disappointed at their meager content. I was hoping to see a little bit clearer this morning, but that is not the case. With nothing better to go after, I will probably vote Menel.

Post 113 - Wild Man:

Menel - Too careful. Wild Man wary of him. Cast Cobbler suspicion on phantom, perhaps he want deflect attention?

Post 116 - Fea:

Meneltarmacil - I don't know.

Post 117 - Mac:

No wiser, but in more of a hurry:

++Meneltarmacil

Post 118 - Boro:

This might sound hypocritical, but whatever, as far as Menel's carefulness - that doesn't make him look suspicious. Every single time I get a funny feeling early on about Menel, precisely because he is careful. But the one time Menel was a wolf, he was a bit more defensive. His two statements about having no humor because he's a Nazgul and:
"Oh, and don't suspect me based on the fact that I'm a Nazgul. I just happened to find this ring in a Cracker Jack box. How was I supposed to know it was one of the Nine?"
This just doesn't look like a Menel of any evil kind (critic or cobbler). He's cleared for today.

Post 124 - Nogrod:

From Menel I get quite innocent vibes. Or at least he plays like he plays and that has sent him to the gallows so many times ealy on just showing him innocent. So I wouldn't like to continue that tradition.

Post 127 - Wild Man:

Menel. Post 32 - Say no lynch the tricksies. No why. Post 92 - Ask Mac why Mac find Menel suspicious. Nazgul banter. Menel, one vote, but Wild Man less willing to vote.

Post 133 - Agan:

Menel. I'm not that worried but I'm not sure enough to label him as innocent either.

Post 136 - Lariren:

Meneltarmacil – I’m suspicious about. For no other real reason than am.

Post 167 - Brinn:

Who I won't vote for:

Meneltarmacil: would rather not see him Day One lynched...he gets lynched early too often

Post 170 - Menel:

To be completely honest, I have no idea who to vote for. Phantom seems innocent enough, though I wouldn't automatically trust him just because he's the phantom.

Boro hasn't shown any warning signs either.

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.

Post 175 - Boro:

Mac doesn't appear like he will be back, I don't like his vote for Menel. Looks like an easy way out to slide by the day.

Post 177 - Menel:

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.

Post 187 - Menel:

Well, phantom and Fea's secrecy is disturbing, but I think I'll let it go for now and see what comes of it later.

++Macalaure

Post 188 - Fea:

In the mean time,

++MENEL

Because there's nobody else I'd rather lynch, so process of elimination dictates...

Post 191 - Agan:

I rather didn't lynch Menel today because I don't find him very suspicious. I think I'm just going to vote Nog. Or Mac.

Post 193 - Sally on Menel:

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.

Post 197 - Kath:

No idea: Menel
