WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Rikae]

Wait a minute - you say everyone's innocent.

[Macalaure]

I know!

I'm working on it...

[Macalaure]

About Gwath - reading over his posts from yesterday again now - did anybody else get the impression of a mutineer-mutineer thing with the way he went after Annu? He didn't say anything of consequence the whole day, then makes an analysis and ends up with Annu being his top suspect. Then he takes the first opportunity to opt out of his suspicion (Boro's plead for Mira). He even defends Boro's idea to Inziladun and me. What wonders me most:

First he wrotes this about my vote for Eomer:

I reckon you be feelin' pretty confident about your vote, then?

Then he says:

Well, I be votin' now. I'm awrful suspicious of Annu, but I'm gonna put it off until tomorrer, so:

I don't know about you, but when I'm awfully suspicious of someone, I'm definitely confident enough to lynch the person even if I'm convinced that mathematically someone else's death would be beneficial.

And I only just realised that he hasn't posted today so far. Hmm.

Sally: I find her actions in regards to Shasta a bit suspect.

Rikae: Brief. Short. In terms of reasonings and suspicions.

Lommy: Leaning Innocent.

Zil: Fishy.

Boro: Leaning Innocent.

Wilwa: Nada.

Shasta: Where is he?

Annu: I don't get what the fuss is about.

Mac: Something funny going on between him and Nog. Voting alongside your top suspect?

Nerwen: I find her behavior and lack of reasons for her vote choices suspicious - as previously mentioned/stated.

Kath: Waffling between innocent and nada read.

Gwath: I don't get what the fuss is about.

Nog: Something funny is going on between him and Mac. He isn't normal NogSelf. So I'm inclined to believe he is either a Cobbler or a Wolf.

Mith: Leaning Innocent.

Eonwe: Where is he?



Between Nog, Mac, or Sally. My vote will be placed.

[Gwathagor]

Arr, Mac me mate, I be busy all day ye see. But I be here and ready to read. And it seems I'll have some answerin' to do, as well. No problem thar though.

[Macalaure]

Just had another look at Sally and found nothing that enlightened me. Still wondering about that protector-thing out of nowhere. It makes no sense, but the way she mentioned it doesn't look very cobbler-ish.

What's so odd about that? People do that all the time. Izzy, I have to say, your lists and opinions have a very... fabricated look about them.

[Macalaure]

Just to see where we're standing right now:

Sally -> Shasta
Nogrod -> Annu
Boro -> Nogrod
Rikae -> Sally
Mith -> Nogrod (2)
Shasta -> Annu (2)
Wilwa -> Gwath
Eonwe -> Gwath (2)
Nerwen -> Rikae
Kath -> Annu (3)
Lommy -> Gwath (3)
Inzy -> Rikae (2)

Annu, Gwath 3, Nogrod, Rikae 2, Shasta, Sally 1

[Inziladun]

I took a break to relax and try to get a clear head. Not much success there.
Right. My problem with Rikae's reveal is I still don't see why it had to be done just then. If she'd made it clear she had to go and wouldn't be back before DL, that might have changed things. But I see she's been posting recently. What gives? Honestly? Coming out with that when she wasn't even in the lead on votes? And no one else seems to be batting an eye.
Sally's remarks were even more bizarre. Since Rikae had cast a vote for her, it muddies the waters even more.
I have a few minutes to see if some burst of enlightenment arrives.

The only one I really feel suspicious of is Gwath, for his vote Day 1 and also for his vote yesterDay, not only was it for Mira (when he was actually suspicious of Annu) but it also seemed like he did it just to kinda go with the crowd and not attract attention. I'm not suspicious of any one else really so this is an easy choice of me.

++Gwathagor

So that'll probably be all from me toDay. See you all tomorrow.

Wilwa clearly be out for some revenge against her shipmate, for votin' for her in Day 1.

He's been going with the flow a lot, and not made many points of his own. He is maintaining a low profile even with the number of posts he has, and though he talks a lot, he seems to not say much of substance. I shall have to fill up the powder on my own.

Bandwagon?

Aye, bandwagon.

If you leave me for the aggressors toNight (and they decide to go for it) my pick will be Lommy.

Now Rikae, this be makin' things difficult for me since you be the sensible defensive vote for me, if I want to stay in me skin a few days longer. It's nothin' personal, but you be havin' the next highest number of votes. What to do, what to do...

I'll ye what happened. Boro made some remarrrrk about how I be disagreein' with his conservative approach yesterday, someone else be sayin' they need to see more from me, and next thing ye know, Wilwa be votin' for me out of revenge. Eonwe (of all people!) comes alongside and accuses me of followin' the obvious flow of opinion among me fellow pirates - this be Captain Obvious Eonwe we be speakin' of here, mind ye! At this point, other scurvy dogs begin to get ideas because they can't think for themselves, they make mention of how they be wonderin' about me, and soon enough, the rest of the crew has got the idea that I've been behavin' in a most peculiar and suspicious mannaarrrr. Ask anymate who's sailed with me beforrre, and they'll tell ye that this how I always be gettin' lynched. Every time. I become the default lynch, to speak uncouthly.
