No, it doesn't bother me like Nerwen's backwards writing because it's not annoying, it's just suspicious. There's a huge difference. So either you just misunderstood me, or are really jumpy/eager to please. Just keep using smileys as you will, I have no intention of becoming any kind of smiley-dictator, that would be rather hypocritical of someone who very often has to remove smileys from her posts in order to have the acceptable amount there...

That seems plausible enough since they all seem curiously jumpy, especially the a-ladies. This is an interesting comment from Rikae though - if even one of the trio turns out to be guilty, I'll be more positive of Rikae's innocence. If they all turn out innocent, I'm ready to lynch Rikae.

I'm looking forward to seeing Sally's explanation and Durelin's reasons for her impressively long lynch-list.

edit: xed with Alona and everything after her

The recent discussion seems WEIRD. I think Sally is honest about what she did and what she didn't, but she's probably a wolf. In that case, Rikae is probably not a wolf, unless she's a backstabbing meanie.

As for Sally's speculation - I can honestly see morm as a bear and doing that. But I'm still more inclined to consider Form a bear.

Really?! (To Form, not the rest.) Form's completely flown under for me. Still, I think Morm's possibly some kind of baddie. Telling you now, I plan to vote for him unless something better comes along.

I shall now analyze Shasta, if only to keep me awake.

Now, I don't think there was anything that unusual about my alona/autume/Sally statement, but this from Lommy looks downright eerie. Like a wolf who is setting up a future vote, or something. If they all turn out innocent, everybody look at Lommy!

And Sally, the thing about Durelin's vote not being bolded - that only would matter if you thought of it at the time, and if so, you wouldn't have to go back searching for something, would you? You'd remember thinking "Durelin's vote doesn't count, there's still a tie" or some such thing. Unless you didn't see Durelin's vote at all, but somehow the way you're arguing just doesn't seem like it... I mean, if it was a simple oversight and you were innocent, why all the convoluted explanations, each new twist only being revealed upon further questioning? I think an innocent would be more likely to say "I thought the vote was tied" and then explain the editing flub, in an open and honest manner, than to do things the way you have. I'm considering retracting my vote, but I'm far from convinced.

*whimpers, headdesks repeatedly*

Okay. Not to be rude, but how simple can I make this? YesterDay when I voted, I thought Morm and Dun were tied. I voted to break it, then noticed Alona's retraction. I'd seen Durie's vote, but not done the math (and then realized when someone pointed it out that it wasn't highlighted. If I remember correctly she highlighted after DL because when I checked the vote count -after I'd already voted at DL- it wasn't highlighted, but I didn't realize until after I voted that she wasn't highlighted, so yes I thought it counted at the time but I didn't do the math and once I'd voted I could have pretended otherwise but didn't so why accuse me of dishonesty?) so to me I was breaking the tie, not retying. After I realized my mistake I tried to correct it in an honest matter and have since been accused of lying about it.

I'm analyzing Shasta. Do with me whatever you like; I couldn't care less. I did everything in the right order, just made a simple error, and I've since tried to correct that error in the best way possible.

*whimpers again*

Back soon. If I disappear it's because I fell asleep, so potential apologies in advance.

No harm done. You two are just darn confusing because I keep switching my opinion of you every other minute.

alona...is that Rachel McAdams (your avatar)? If so, I love you. I saw her on the Daily Show promoting Time Traveller's Wife...looks like a good movie, and well Rachel McAdams is just awesome.

It is - she's one of my favorite actors. I saw Time Traveler's Wife opening night and balled my eyes out. It was absolutely amazing. Go see it. Like, right now.

That's what I said about Shasta. While it's not as substantial as I'd like it to be, it might be the best I have. Other options? Voting Alona or Autume based on a general feeling without knowing their styles? Voting Form because of a mere fix idée? Voting Sally or Rikae? No, at least I'm going to ignore those two for the reast of toDay (sorry darlings, you just confuse the heck out of me). Argh, I don't like this game.

PS. As for someone (don't remember who) suggesting I'm a cobbler, sadly the answer is no. (I'd love to try cobblering some day, 38 games and never a cobbler!)

I really feel like alona and sally are innocent. alona's retraction makes sense. She thought she had to save herself. I think sally made a mistake. I can see why you might suspect her, but she's not acting like wolf-sally.

I haven't had time to analyze morm yet. However with what sally said earlier I suspect him even more.

Even with rikae throwing out theories about people I think innocent, she still seems innocent to me.

Edit: x-ed with boro to this post

Anyone around? I should go to sleep within an hour, it's nearing midnight here.

I'll go and check now what I had against Shasta. Then I may or may not analyse Form.

I'm here, but I'm not worth much today sadly.

Got distracted but I'll get to my Shasta analysis now so no worries.


ETA: x'd with Rikae. Yes, I'm an idiot. I understand that. And I didn't say you were stupid, I was saying that I explained it and I knew you were taking it differently so I tried to explain it in a bit different way to make sure it was clear both to you and to anyone who would come in on the 'conversation' later. Want me to vote myself and make it easier for you?

Saying "not to be rude" and then calling me an idiot doesn't make it any less rude. Besides, I didn't complain that it wasn't simple because I was too stupid to understand, but because I thought the way you described it looked guilty, as if you were reluctant to tell us anything. At this point, it is way too late to undo that - the mistake is made.

So it all boils down to you "not doing the math correctly" after seeing Durelin's vote - after you complained repeatedly about the tie that Durie's vote broke? You admit that you didn't realize it wasn't highlighted until someone (I believe it was Mac) pointed it out, which happened after your vote. So yeah, I don't buy it. Nice try, but sorry, your story just doesn't add up, and every time you're caught you change it - it's all way too evil looking to just let it go.

Just reread the above and thought it was too harsh. Sally, if you do turn out to be innocent and this is all just a lot of nonsense, I'm sorry - but you can see how your behavior looks suspicious, right? I can't just let it slide only to find out you're a wolf, I'd kick myself forever.

EDIT: X'd with Sally - I don't think you're an idiot. If I did, I wouldn't go to so much trouble to analyze you...

Understood, and no harm done. I'm a bit cranky so more easily offended, and I hate being suspected as an ordo so much because it means the baddies are getting away.

How about this? Go analyze someone else you find suspicious as heavily as you've been paying attention to me. If I'm still the most suspicious to you feel free to vote me (or rather not unvote me), just be sure to think about other players too. K?
