I'm getting bear vibes off of Morm. He has discussed the bear at great length and he has done some weird voting things... mostly voting early and then the locking in of Hakon on Day One. He is just exuding bear to me at the moment.

Nienna, if I need to explain this I will as it has bugged many people, but particularly you it would seem. Nothing was happening on Day 1 Hakon needed to be voted for. I got things moving a bit if nothing else. The retraction and revote was a bit of an annoyance factor from Hakon. I was a bit bugged that he asked for a retraction, I found him suspicious and so to be comical and again to get people talking I did what I did and don't regret it.

Thank you. I think I understand now. It doesn't make you any less suspicious in my eyes, though. Just so you know.

Oh, and for the record, I didn't find Morm's retract and revote Day One suspicious. The vote itself, yeah, but I thought the retract was hysterical.

I wouldn't have it any other way. It helps me stay alive at nights.

Really? I think Form talked more about the bear than morm, but I could be mistaken.

So it took a ridiculously long amount of time for me to get caught up (blame Boro for that ) and I have little idea who I suspect enough to vote for than I did when I left for work this morning. There are a few candidates (who I'm not going to mention now in case I change my mind) but I'm going to take a closer look at a few people and see what happens.

Rikae, are you around? Who are you considering voting for?

Mac, same question?

I am going to cast my vote for Alona or Sally.

I believe Rikae retracted her vote and voted for alona.

Morm - well, I guess I'd have to say I'm considering voting for "No vote", since I've already voted twice toDay!

By the way, where is this idea coming from that the bear would talk a lot about the bear? What for? To tip us off, so we can lynch xem? What are you people thinking?

Mind you, the people spreading this idea around are ones I already didn't trust - but no one was pointing out the absurdity of that bit of reasoning, so I thought I'd better do it.

Heh.


And to the bolded part. I was going to point it out but was too lazy right now.

Well, it's psychology, you know... guilty conscience... trying not to think of (white) bears... that sort of thing.

I suppose.

I have no idea where Nienna got the idea I've spoken a lot about the bear. I don't think I have *shrugs*

I think it is like a lot of other roles which people feel the need to talk about when the hold them. They could be testing the waters and see what people think about the role and they want to feel important. That is what I think anyway.

Well, I did, just not quite as directly I s'pose.

So, I wonder why a wolf would not use their vote power, but then I think, especially in the case of alona, that perhaps it would be a decent way to go if you feared being lynched. Doesn't leave a vote your fellows have to worry about following or not. If that makes sense.

Personal thought - Wouldn't it be fun if morm, Rikae, and Mac were the wolves?

I think Mira needs to post more so I can renew my suspicion of her. Really I wanted to hear from her before I voted...and I sorta have but...am not satisfied...eh, I have 45 minutes.

I definitely prefer Alona to Form or morm, so let's add some fuel to that waggon.

Retraction possible.

Hey, I knew someone who had one of those once.

Never mind, you've got a point.



Oh, and can we call the no vote Norm? Please?!
