The bear can think about being the bear all he/she likes, but it's a different matter entirely to type up his/her thoughts and post them. In other words, I don't think that argument has much to it.

I was under the impression Form always explains himself, among other things, a lot. Explaining is a favorite past-time of many people I know, and I am at least under the impression that he is one of them.

I do tend to trust Form rather than distrust, and I cannot say I can read him, but I have absolutely no idea where people are getting some huge bear vibe, maybe particularly because I don't know what a bear vibe is. All anyone seems to have to offer is that a bear likes to talk about his/herself, which I don't buy.

Anyway...sudden attention so completely away from Sally (and alona) is not *necessarily* bad, but is definitely weird.

So what does a wolf/baddie-Sally look like?

You're just hung up on it cause I picked you. I did not want to leave the lynch up to chance, and I wanted my vote to count for something. I waited as long as I felt it was safe to vote, waiting to see if someone else would break the tie, and making up my mind whether I needed to break the tie or could just vote for Mira (though by the end I had decided that tie or not, I was going to vote you rather than throw away my vote). But no one chose to break it until the last minute. Inziladun and morm seemed innocent to me, you did not. And I am still perfectly happy with my vote.

This Form suspicion has seemed to come not from nowhere, but definitely almost as a sidetrack from me and Sally. It's confusing and is inadvertently adding to my suspicion of Sally. I think I'm gonna go back and do another read-through of Day 2...

When I played with her last game, she was very wolfish. Very obvious to the point where I didn't think she could be a wolf because it was so obvious. Does that make sense?

That's probably true! It's just the wording that caught me off guard, but I understand your reasoning.

Rikae can you clarify creepy for me... I'd like to respond but yet find I don't know how to respond as I don't know what creepy means...

A baddie-Sally doesn't tend to overly state that she is innocent. She tends to imply her innocence without saying it out-right. I may be wrong with this but it is what I have noticed. So I trust her for the moment.

I'm going to have to look at your posts to see what exactly gave me that impression, but generally staying in the background, going with the flow, giving the impression of hiding in the shadows.

Thanks for the Shasta analysis sally. Definitely someone I want to keep an eye on, but I don't see anything to lynch him today. Like you said there's not a lot to go on.

As for Form, I really don't see anything that says to lynch him today either.

Now I'm off to do my morm analysis since people were suspecting him yesterday, and since he's now in my radar.

Back in a bit!

Random question. Has Tum disagreed with me at any point in the game? (Not that I'm complaining, since we're friends and all, but....) I'm not the best person to hide behind, but any port in a storm? Give me thoughts, and I'll see if I need to attempt another analysis before my head explodes.

I'll answer for you and make it easier for everyone else. I don't think I have disagreed with you yet. I haven't seen anything to disagree with you on at this point.

Yeah, last game was the first time I'd ever played with you. And noted for future games. I think everybody likes a little bit of crazy sometimes, haha.

~~~

As I posted on the Admin Thread, I'm going to be leaving soon for class, which doesn't end until after the DL, so vote post now, I guess. Since I don't have quite a clear read on whom I should vote for (I think Form's case came out of nowhere, and my suspicion for morm from yesterDay has gone down), here we go:

++No vote

I'm nervous to see what I'm going to come back to, but hopefully we'll nab a baddie. I don't want to risk voting for another ordo or a possible gifted after how many we lynched already, so there's my not-vote.

So, I just realized that I've still not followed up on my promises of a list. How typical of me.

Alona-I just get this... Feeling from her. Like sort of a wolfish feel.

Tum-Has played in an honest sort of manner, not giving any reason to suspect her, unless you count her tie-breaker on Day 1.

Durelin-I don't know very well, so I can't give a clear impression. He seems to have a talent of saying a lot of in-depth stuff, yet being completely anonymous almost.

Form-Could be a wolf, I suppose. But then again, can't everyone else?

Lommy-Is giving out clear opinions, not ringing the bells. Don't think she's a baddie.

Mac-Is there yet not. Kind of hard to analyze.

Mira-Is completely floating over my head. I have no idea what to think of her.

Morm-I am very impressed with. Puts himself out there, but kind of gray, rather than black or white, in terms of role.

Nerwen-Is giving me no idea as to what she is. Not fair, really.

Nessa-You tell me.

Nienna-Is ringing those tinkly little bells, but there's no reason for me to go after her.

Rikae-Is maybe a bit suspicious, but I don't think she's a wolf.

Sally-I am pretty sure of her innocence at this point. I saw sally!wolf in action last game, and she's completely different this time around.

Shasta-Well, if anything, I know he's not the cobbler, or he'd be catching wolves off the hook.


Well, I kind of suppose I don't know anything about anyone. I think I'm one of the only ones to fail at list making.

Lommy's case against Form does indeed look like an attempt at scapegoating, especially since after morm's vote for him it was obvious that there's a market for Form-votes. This would mean that both Sally and Lommy are wolves, since Sally is more in the spotlight than Alona, so it would be more efficient to throw more suspicion at Sally than at Form. It's also possible that she's the cobbler and is trying to save both because she shares the mainstream belief that the two are suspicious.

I think I'll put Durelin in my small group of people I trust - she's sensible.

I agree. I think Form might be suspicious, but not enough to kill him toDay. It's sketchy at best how quickly he became a focus of discussion.

And Mac, just remember that the sensible people aren't always the innocent ones.
