Hm, this Boro and Mac thing is looking rather wolf-on-wolfish. They argue and almost make a show of distrust while not really going after each other... then on the other hand, both of them are good enough players to make wolf-on-wolf suspicion look real if they want to...

Mac, explain to me why your general blandness and lack of opinions in this game does not mean you're a wolf. *taps toe*

Just had my closer look at Boro and ended up with these conclusions: (I don't feel good enough to give you the "meat" (in a decipherable format), too. Borro be postin' a-plenty.)

- I dislike his obsession with Shasta as justification for his Day1-vote.
- His case against Nogrod doesn't look as far-fetched on second look - at first. The reasons he piles on from Day3 on are not convincing anymore. But this is just what an over-fixated ordo might end up with.
- His determined advocation to lynch Mira looks genuine.
- I already stated that his "lynch Nog first and then Mac" idea is not well thought through. Boro is usually not the type to not think things through.
- It looks very evil that he likes us to double-kill McCaber if he thinks he's innocent. Obviously, a known mutineer would serve us much, much better. It's connected with his fixation on Nogrod, though.
- There is a buddy-buddiness going on between Boro and Lommy that I don't know what to think of.
- That "yes", "no", "but" -thing looks mighty evil to me.

I could see an innocent Boro behaving this way, but there are plenty of stains that make me doubt it. I can't justify making him my top suspect at this point, but he's certainly up there.

Haha! Now that's a compliment. Actually, if I really am bland and lack opinions, it indeed would usually mean I'm a wolf. That's part of my basic strategy. Since having a flu probably doesn't count as explanation, I guess I can only give you the nearly complete lack of information to deduce anything from. I'll be more edgy eventually, promise.

Wow, that's... just the sort of thing you would say to me as a wolf.

Okaaaay...

If you expected me to throw out some suspicion at you in turn, I might have - if you were not a semi-known innocent.

A bit more defensiveness would have looked more innocent, I think - for future reference.

If Mac's a wolf, I'm sure that's what he's attempting to make it look like...if I was one, I would most likely be doing it too. My suspicions our sincere though.

That... doesn't make any sense at all. Do you think the mutineers agreed on a specific time to suddenly take over the thread?~Mac
I feel like I'm the only one who has to explain random observations, where now for some reason there's a counter reaction to the sally votes. I mean granted she gets some questionable votes, but just as fast has people jumping on the "this lynch sally wagon is strange" counter bandwagon. And that happened just as fast as the first wagon. The "trend" in WW changes faster than trendy clothes

Anyway, I will explain it Mac. In the Republic I made a random observation about something, (I can't tell you off the top of my head what it is, but if you insist I'll look it up for you). It was pretty slow at the time, and out of the blue Brinn, Shasta, and 3rd person decided to suddenly pop in and speak.

Obviously I didn't believe all three of them were evil, but it looked pretty wierd to see three people(who had been absent for most if not all the day) suddenly pop in to say something. As it turned out Brinn was the baddie. I just randomly noticed the same thing, Mith makes an observation, and after long absenses 3 people suddenly decided they had comments. If you read what I said in a post after, I liked what I saw from Shasta (so your point that I was saying all 3 mutineers agreed on a time to post is wrong). But it has made me suspicious of Inziladun and Eonwe, because of the past in Fea's Republic.

Spectating it might look evil, I'll give you that...but I was giving her the tp treatment...that is testing to see whether my impression I got where I felt her one post earlier was innocent, was the 'right' impression. And at the same time, trying to prove to her my own innocence, that's what I call the "tp treatment," because essentially that's really the only way I can ever figure out what that man is up to. I have no idea what Lommy wanted to get from it, if anything at all except joking around, she'll have to explain it, but she passed my test.
