No, I'm perfectly sane. Please ignore the straitjacket.

So initially this post seems quite fine to me. But her later ones don't so much, she did focus on this subject a bit too much, kind of going back and forth between "it looks weird" but then "well, we can't take it too seriously". So I don't know, fishy.

Boro's first post, I don't see anything wrong with it, just a fun story he wanted to share. But afterwards he defended it, then again, then just some little comments here and there and not really much more than that. So I find he spent too much time focusing on something that was not really that big of a deal, and really it's not like someone was gonna vote him just for that, so it didn't really merit the defence. Just seems like he could have said something more pertinent.

Pitch, seems ok I guess, he looks a bit touchy about the joking atmosphere, but I mean this is a game, set in an insane asylum, of course we're going to joke around. If it was Day 3 and we were still doing it, then I get it, but on Day 1 it's no big deal. Otherwise though, I don't see anything odd here.

Nerwen's "go wolves" thing, I don't know why people are taking it so seriously, it was a joke, it's Day 1, we're being silly. Sally wanted to eat me. I wanted to eat Sallycakes. Durelin wanted to eat all of us (oh, and people are suspecting her for that too, everyone is crazy).

I just find that people are looking at the wrong stuff. We look at votes once we have them, we look at interactions between people, we look at peoples' reactions and suspicions and who they trust, and their contributions and such. We should not be looking at random Day 1 in character banter, or stories about our students or clowns. Just seems like grasping at straws to me.

*breaths* Anyways. So Pitch and Lottie do look a bit off to me, but I think Boro is the worst. I just find he made a big deal about people making a big deal out of something little he said. And then there wasn't much else (RL, I know, but he did make some random comments here and there, if he knew he couldn't come back he *should* have said something substantial instead). So. My vote could very well go here.

Well, I always coming back dear, the thing is I've got nothing. I mean what, throw out a random suspicion about, or throw together an unexplained list? I guess I could do that...won't help me any.

Aside from Nerwen, everyone seems to be playing a bit tight to the vest, and as an admission I've only read half of Nog's posts because I didn't feel like reading arguments with the doctors. (No offense champ)

"I'd like to look at him toMorrow" means "I don't find him suspicious and my only problem with him is I'm worried because I don't find him suspicious so I'm going to leave him be for now and look more closely at him later". Better?

A List - A Real One This Time

Nerwen is actually quite bothering me right now. She speaks sense, but then won't stop evil bantering - and we're all laughing right with her. I think she's pushing it, and she's one of my top suspects.

I feel pretty good about Glirdy, but that's mostly gut feeling. He doesn't have much time to post, so I'm inclined to leave him be for now.

I'm pretty sure about Sally now. I was a bit conflicted before, but she looks much better now...plus I know that Sally doesn't lie about her role. Ever. And she says she's innocent, so I believe her (barring horrible proof against her, that is).

Dury voted for me, so by my Lottie Code of Leaving People Who Vote For Me Be So I Don't Retaliate Angrily, I must...well...leave her be.

I don't know about Boro. He could go either way for me. I'd want to see more from him before I voted him, though.

I also don't know about Nog. I don't think he's a wolf, though. *shrugs*

Wilwa - see Nerwen. Literally, she keeps bantering with her. I'd almost think they were Two-Face/Wolfie, having nice cobbler/wolf bonding time or something.

Izzy hasn't posted much, and what she has posted hasn't had much content. Could be a sub, could just be busy.

I have never played with Kit before, so I'm probably not going to vote for her toDay. She seems to be making sense, though, which could either be furry or nice, depending on how you look at it.

Pitchie has been a little too agreeable for my taste. When he's agreeable, he's often a wolf. Then again, I haven't really been noticing him much, and I think there are others more deserving of my vote, so...

Lottie - what can I say? I'm amazing.

~~~

Suspects:

Nerwen
Wilwa

Sorta suspects...:

Pitchie
Boro
Nog
Dury

No idea:

Glirdy
Izzy
Kit

Sorta trust...:

Sally

Trust:

Lottie

EDIT: xed with Boro

EDIT2: swap all mentions of Kit and Dury. Ups.

I didn't vote for you, Loslote.

But I'm glad you fear me.

That's a silly code, if wilwa votes for me I fully plan to retaliate. The problem is I will most likely have to vote before her, so I can only go on what I expect would happen.

It is a silly code. I am a silly girl. It all works out in the end.

It's kind of silly to vote people simply because they suspect you. Find something more on me then maybe I won't care, but that on it's own is faulty.

And actually, I have to vote now, so now you don't have to guess:

++Boro

Because of aforementioned reasons and the above quote. No, not because he wants to vote for me, but because he plans to vote for me if I vote for him. There's a difference.

Exhausted. Need sleep.
