Evening, Nogrod.

By all means, go right ahead. No one else appears to be interested.

"I will, but that doesn't mean you others shouldn't do the same... Like Mr. Boro here has been suggesting to Inzil.

What do you think yourself Boro? Or you McCaber?"

I think I've been quite able to share my suspicions, and I have not done an unbearable amount of talking yet...I'm sure someone out there wrote down what I've said, therefor I do not feel guilty telling you to 'find it yourself'

This might help though, as I really can't stay until the end of this deadline to decide that's been imposed upon us...

++Inziladun

At least no random early votes, eh? I will retire now. Peace.

Edit: crossed with Nogrod and Inziladun

"Darling," I smile with the flirtatiousness I reserve for special occasions such as this, "I am privileged because of my awesomeness. If you want me to change my ways, I dare you: try to make me."

I vote

++Nessa

because when I have nothing better to go on, I revert to the ones who leave me no trail to follow later.

I now shall necessarily hold my tongue until Dusk.

I give evidence I have not acted in the way you accuse me of, prove I did not say something you attributed to me, and you still are gunning for me.
There's no pleasing some people.

[McCaber]

Nessa's vote strikes me as a fast revenge action rather than a thought out advance. Perhaps Fea's in her top 5 or so and she suddenly separated herself from the rest of the suspects.

Now if Boro's vote crossed with Inzil's post there, then he must not have been affected by the content of that last post. Which is strange, because he was one of the ones who asked for it.

EDIT: crossed with Nessa yet again. Way to provide content.

It's true that such an action would seem so, to many others as well. However, does it not occur that one would have thought of everyone's reactions before posting? One would have considered how those words would be recieved.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well, Nessa's at least gone and done a pretty solid job of cementing my thoughts about her, I'll say that much.

[McCaber]

Vote Count:
Inzil: 1
Nessa: 1
Fea: 1
McCaber: 1

9 votes left.

[McCaber]

As for me, I'm inclined to think that Boro is innocent, simply based on thoughts and conduct.

I as well dislike Fea, because I don't have a lot of patience for saying "I'm only watching the proceedings" while denying one's own involvement. And with Nessa, Nerwen, and Rikae only giving us one statement each, perhaps they carry that same feeling. Although Fea's choice of a vote is interesting.

Shasta and Inzil I'm not sold on, but I can see them either way.

EDIT: crossed with Nessa

[Nessa Telrunya]

"I can't see either McCaber of Nogrod in a suspicious light. For one, Nogrod has conducted himself in a very open manner. And McCaber may have been a little quick to want a vote, but he hasn't been unclear in his actions and words. I would be more inclined to suspect someone who nudges others in a certain direction and then enjoys those benefits. But that's just my thoughts on the matter."

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm unexpectedly still listening for all that I intended to - er - nap...

And all I can say, really, is retaliatory votes amuse me. Don't vote Nessa. No wolf would do something as silly as that.

Zil, though... I shan't say anything against it if you want to vote for him.

By the by... retractions? I don't remember... If so, I need to get on that...

[McCaber]

No retractions here. Double lynches, though, are quite legal, although I would advise against that right now.

[Nogrod]

"I went down to the cellars and something prevented me from coming back here. I tried to yell and shout but there was no voice in my call… Weird indeed.

But here I am at last. And here’s what I promised.

Fea – A bit too eager to make a show underlining her innocense and then turning into a priviledged outsider trying to make deals with certain others. Creepy.

Rikae – Very much unimpressive, “underwhelming” performance, as her husband sometimes said. Looking for an easy way out from this mess then? Surely we wouldn’t think of her if she just took a posture like that and drank herself off… Quite suspicious.

Shasta – Still seems to be more into explaining what he does when he runs in and out and not making any stance anywhere – and defending his running around with his running around. Suspicious.

McCaber – Basically says we need to do something… like just a moment ago. But to his credit he actually made a list giving us his thoughts on many of us. Suspicious, but with the list earned my confidence of not suggesting to vote for him toDay.

Pitch, Eönwë, Inzil – Talking and that’s good. Those who talk can be listened to for good or bad. Pitch and Inzil have also provided us with some preliminary thoughts of others – which is good. Maybe not toDay but later at least. Even if I suspect each and everyone of you I’d not like to vote anyone of these three toDay.

Autume – Very little to go for. Says interesting things has been said but does not elaborate which ones she thought especially interesting or why. Why? Especially her speech #66 was just ingenious in not saying anything while still talking quite a lot. I don’t like that but could understand it coming from someone not used to be in dire straits before.

Nerwen – Has been really reserved and basicaly said nothing – even if she had used her Day thus far trying to fix her camera. One would have thought she would have smething to say thus far…

Lalaith – She surely is passing under any radars right now. I have always liked her company in the ‘Downs and here in the Real I must say, for a reason – and that wine! But at the same time these lulling thoughts make me wonder if there could be a more sinister background to her gracious behaviour…

Nessa – Very bad indeed. Opening her mouth only once, saying nothing – but defending herself even if no one had actually suspected her. Very suspicious.

Boro – Well, what could I say? He sure is all around like I could have presumed. And he talks as one would wish – even if he didn’t answer my call for making his overall ideas known but only stood on a relatively small square trying more to make others involve than to involve himself. He looks like those who either is your best friend in trouble or the one who stabs you in the back during the Night.

So there. Basically anyone of you can be suspected - and I basically do just that.


Oh an sorry, as I was not able to make my voice heard I neither couldn’t hear anything as something just blocked my ability to communicate with you for a while.

Now there is the "Merchant of Venice" in my PC for some reason I see not why and I'll fall into to it. I'll check in later to vote though."

[Lalaith]

It's funny, isn't it, how speech and actions appear suspicious to some and innocent to others.
I'm feeling unsettled by this cosiness already set up between Fea and Boro...and the way McCaber has try to come between them, trusting one and not the other.
I did enjoy Rikae's characteristically feisty entrance. Welcome, my dear - I hope your loved ones get you home again, in your right mind.

Well, early days. Close to deadline, and I'm really not sure how to vote. It sticks in the craw to vote for a newbie...seems so inhospitable and against Downer tradition.
Nogs - there's plenty more red in the crate. Stick some Sancerre in the fridge for me will you...if there's room....ew.....

Nah, no coziness. Anybody who knows me knows that I'm only friendly so much as it suits my purposes. He hasn't struck me as evil yet, so I don't mind listening to his comments and requests. On my side, the exchange went something like

Boro: "Hey Fea, look at Zil!"

And then I jotted down something along the lines of: "B88 draws my attention to Zil. Review their interactions later."

'I'm on it' in my case rarely means 'I totally agree' but is typically more aligned with 'I'm listening, go ahead.'
