Fea → Dury
Wilwa → Mnemi
Rikae → Sally

Still to vote: Phantom, Izzy, Mnemi, Fea, Brinn, Dury

I think we need some kind of consensus here. Otherwise, it's too easy for Izzy and the cobbler to snipe someone at DL.

Fea, I have no objection you voting for Durelin. I could possibly switch to her myself. *points to post about “if Sally is good, there's a wolf and a bear among her, you, Mnemi and Brinn”* She's not my top suspect out of those, though. My list, from most to least suspicious, is more like:

Brinn
Fea
Durelin
Mnemi

Well, if my opinion matters at all I'm totally up for a Durie lynch.

Isabellkya · 02-27-2009, 08:28 PM

Well which is it Sally?
At first you said you were dreamed as a White Pawn.
Now you say you were dreamed a White Rook.

What else are you being untruthful about?

Nothing. You saw what Shasta said, and it was different than what I originally understood the situation to be.

Izzy, you're evil. I'm not. This is law according to the combined seers. Enjoy being killed.

(And I'll still send you cookies if you like!

)

satansaloser2005 · 02-27-2009, 08:30 PM

Mnemo:

Vote and go to bed, or I'm stealing your internet cord and voting for you.

(By that I mean ++Mnemo, not I'll cast her vote for her. Bah, you know what I mean....)

satansaloser2005 · 02-27-2009, 08:32 PM

Oh, and I should point out that Mnemo and Brinn are reversible on my list. Right now I'm more concerned about Mnemo, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about Brinn. Just for clarification.

Isabellkya · 02-27-2009, 08:36 PM

Actually, no. I didn't see what Shasta said. Only what you claim he said.

'tis fine. You got caught in a lie. xD

X'd since Mnemosyne's #820

Mnemosyne · 02-27-2009, 08:32 PM

Not till there's a consensus. I know that Brinn and Duri would be willing to go for Fea (as would I), but I'd rather go after someone that the people I'm actually trusting at the moment would like to go after.

Durelin · 02-27-2009, 08:36 PM

Lynch me, and you're down another innocent, AND you learn nothing. No roles are proven. All the baddies are still around.

Rely on probability if you want. But maybe a better way of doing that would be to actually, genuinely randomly choose from us remaining 'unknowns'.

Between the four of you unknowns, two of you are bad. I'll take the 50/50 chance, risky as it may seem.

Durelin · 02-27-2009, 08:37 PM

And before you lynch me you'd better tell me why you suspect me, all of you! Yes, all of you!

You're going to have to work at this, and not just come to a dandy ol' consensus.

Mnemosyne · 02-27-2009, 08:39 PM

Fine, Dury. I'm rolling a d4.

1 is you,

2 is Fea,

3 is Brinn,

and 4 is a reroll.

Sorry, but I'm not voting myself. I know that I'm innocent.

I rolled a 3.

++Brinn

I expect sally to wake me up if you end up consensing otherwise so that I can change my vote. I am not leaving this up to chance.

Mnemosyne · 02-27-2009, 08:29 PM

Well, if we can consense soon that'd be marvellous. I'm ill, and really need bed.

Rikae · 02-27-2009, 08:40 PM

Since I only have the one retraction, I don't really want to use it early, in case something strange happens.

I don't have much of a preference betwen Fea and Dury, but I don't want to vote Mnemi and it seems I have no support for Brinn.

EDIT: X'd with Mnemi's vote and everything after. Seems I do have support, after all.

Understandable. That's why I'm waiting to vote, so if we have a big circus at the end I'm not just sitting there watching with no power to do anything.

Brinniel · 02-27-2009, 08:42 PM

As of now, I will probably vote for Fea.

More from me later; sorry I'm watching Dollhouse.

Oooo I missed/am missing it tonight. You'll have to tell me about it later.

Here's a question. If the innocents are mostly/all wiped out but the Queen and Knight are still alive, what happens? Do they keep playing until someone wins?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-27-2009, 08:46 PM

Here, I'm going to do this so that you can rest a little easier about retractions still floating around:

--Durelin

++Durelin

I think all responsible players should do the same.

Not necessarily vote the same, I mean. You could vote for Izzy and I wouldn't bat an eyelash, but I think that everybody should vote, retract, and revote early so that there isn't a last minute death rush and we lose due to disorganized incompetence.

Good point. Believe me, once my vote's locked in though not much is going to change it. I just haven't decided who I'm going with yet.

(Besides, I usually keep my retractions open just in case someone does happen to pull a stunt right before deadline)

I'm up for Izzy as well. It gets rid of a known wolf and improves our chances come Night fall. Thoughts from Rikae and others?

Durelin · 02-27-2009, 08:47 PM

So why does not voting for an apparently known wolf make sense?

Durelin · 02-27-2009, 08:49 PM

Oh, yeah, duh.

++Izzy

--Izzy

++Izzy

It's a matter of principle. I once lost my job over refusing to wear a stupid hat, you know. Went vegetarian because my brother called me a hypocrite. Etcetera, etcetera. I'm a matter of principle type person.

On the off chance that Rikae isn't being truthful, I won't be able to deal with the knowledge that I didn't pursue reasonable certainty when I had the chance to do so.

I've been convinced of you since this morning, and suspicious of Izzy for a couple days. I really don't care which of you dies first, as long as you both go.

Probably cross posting with 83 people.
