Exactly. It was the opposite of helpful, and Roa is usually at least slightly more logical than that.

[Nogrod]

Well then...

Of Greenie-voters there's only Roa left for me to think about. Her reaction was pretty weird but as Spm said, it might have been an act of frustration as well. She does have better maths and a keener eye to be honest... but then again she was in a hurry. Hard to say. I don't like her vote-change (or her original vote to be sure) at all but I'm not sure she should be lynched for them. Needs to think.

Looking back at Fea voters it seems it's actually only Nerwen who voted for her after she had turned out very suspicious-looking (what were you after anyway there Fea, it just beats me - but maybe we can discuss it in the post-game discussion?). So basically looking at Pitchie's and Inzil's votes there are no too well made arguments behind them. But other than that they have looked very reasonable to me.

(Why am I talking in this tone? Well I thought that those who voted for Fea were quite innocentish to my eye as Fea was so suspicious-looking yesterDay but then I looked back and saw that the two voted for Fea before the final show started).

Lottie and Brinn voted for McCaber and I can't blame them on that. Actually I could join them - or whoever - to do that toDay. His little entry early on the Day making an excuse / apology looked downright horrible. I asked him to come forwards and say something more but it has had no effect so far.

Sally then? I have no idea and she said she would be RL-busy already beforehand. Probably not a wolf? Or a very unfair winner if it comes to that... to the point of discrediting that win then.

But we should get it right toDay - as Spm so nicely elucidates... get it right toDay and the lovers are (maybe) with us, get it wrong and they will side with the baddies ending the game... So what do you think people?

[Loslote]

I think that, unless something else dramatic happens before DL, I'm only going to vote for Roa or McCaber. I see no strong reason why anyone else could be a wolf. And there's too much at stake to risk losing it to a weak reasoned vote.

McCaber has probably earned a vote just by submarine activity. It could be for RL reasons, but I don't think he's ever indicated that. Why Roa, Lottie?
And Nog, I voted Fea for two reasons: first, she was the best candidate I had at the time. Second, I decided to vote her early and watch her reaction. All that about Hakon's dream made me decide against retracting.

[Loslote]

Why Roa? Because I think she's a wolf. Why do I think that? Her vote, mostly. First she votes Nerwen - who has not been suspected all game. This when we most needed to keep the ordo votes together! Then she retracts that vote and changes it to Fea, which is one of the least helpful things she could have done. This is Roa we're talking about - she's one of the most logical players! Why would she have voted like this unless she wasn't on our (the ordo's) side?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'd like to think I irritated her past rationality...

[Loslote]

Admittedly, she could just be really annoyed. So I'd be more comfortable voting McCaber...but Roa is still extremely suspicious.

[Nogrod]

A process of elimination then...

Fea and Spm - out of the consideration as it is possible we lynch a wolf toDay and they can end up helping us (with their numbers at least).

Nerwen - the voice of reason and acute spotter of things. She would be a dangerous wolf but at the moment I think we can't afford to lose her for a non-existent (speculative "if she was then it would be bad") suspicion like that.

Brinn - Basically same as Nerwen. I wouldn't wish to put our future into "just trying" her either.

Lottie - Her anguish over the situation feels real.

Sally - Said she would be busy and has been a kind of too unconcerned to be a wolf?


Pitch & Inzil: Are still flying under my radar and that's bad. They have been very reasonable and easy... maybe too uncontroversial indeed. I'm afraid one of them will be a wolf in the end just looking at the numbers. But I have no idea which one. And I would not like to make a blind check with them either (and Pitchie is away anyway the whole Day so it would be kind of unfair).

Roa - I see I have been avoiding her thus far - thinking myself I can always do it the next Day if alive - but now it seems I need to take a stance on her. Hmm... Her vote looks either like a speedy act of frustration or a calculated "washing of her hands" act. I don't like it either way. As an innocent she should have looked for a possibility of lynching a wolf and not go into the retaliatory mode like that.

McCaber - By far the most suspicious person around. Just look at his posting toDay... or anyDay thus far.

[Nogrod]

It's coming 4AM once again...

I'll check the Mead Hall -stuff and then vote.

Probably McCaber. To me he looks like our best chance.

[Loslote]

Alright, then:

++ McCabber

just so I don't have to worry if for some reason I can't vote later. BUT I should be on basically until DL.

[Inziladun]

Like I said, I don't believe anyone could reasonably argue McCaber has not been suspicious. At the very least he has been consistently unhelpful.
I think this is the last thing he's said toDay thus far.

Nothing else. I know he's quite adept at being a quiet wolf, so why does this give me an uneasy feeling, like I'm overlooking something?
Trouble is, I don't know who else would be better. Roa's interactions with SPM on Day 1 could look more sinister, knowing what we know now. And the vote toDay doesn't help. It could indeed have been out of frustration with this vexing situation, but still....
