Well, I was actually semi-serious about Eonwe - his posts do seem forced, and they aren't getting less so. At th' same time, Glirdan's suspicion doesn't really make sense or at least isn't explained well, and could be a fish's way o' bandwagoning on th' closest thing to a suspicion that's been voiced so far.
I'm opposed to lynching Blind Guardian toDay on principle, but her(?) singing be soon to become annoying enough to make me reconsider. Put a sock in it!

So you expect me to find it natural to speak about pirate topics and in the right dialect?

I'm just as confused by this. I didn't really see an explanation for why suspicion was cast onto Glirdan.

Here's my list for now. Obviously anything is subject to change.

Innocent:
Zil - so far I haven't seen anything that makes me suspicious of him
Nerwen - ditto
BG - I think that she was just being excited about the game. I could be wrong though. For now she is innocent though.
Rikae - I haven't seen anything that jumps out at me. Some have mentioned her bringing up the pack o' three. But not sure that this qualifies as suspicious. Maybe it's those people that are making a bigger deal out of this that are suspicious.
Mac - Same as Zil and Nerwen
Shasta - Same as Zil and Nerwen and Mac
Tum - Well obviously I'd find myself innocent.

Slightly suspicious:
Wilwa - mentions finds Glirdan slightly suspicious. Reason:
Quote:
He tends to agree with people when he has somethin' sinister to mask. Though, him and I be often incorrect in our assumptions of one another, it still makes me uneased.
Eonwe - Seemed to jump on BG pretty quickly

Haven't seen yet:
Boro
Morsul


Edit: x-ed with Wilwa

I raise my eyebrow in BG's general direction for obstinate unhelpfulness.

I don't particularly like how Eonwe jumps on the first person to attract some suspicion. Sure, he had to vote early and had little to go on, but it seems like he is trying to find an excuse to vote somebody instead of attempting to find out who is actually evil. And having little to work with is not an excuse for not trying and picking the first best thing. Wilwa also has a good point about his defensiveness.

Arr, matey. This pirate went and got himself some education!

So anyway, here's what I'm thinking right now. I want to vote Morsul as per usual because his one post irritates me a bit, but I think that's probably knee-jerk. Eonwe is possible too but I need to go back and look at him a bit. Nerwen is fine with me for today, as are Rikae and Mac. BG is generally unhelpful - I don't really think it's a tell either way. My gut says that Zil is bad news but again, nothing to back that up. Wilwa seems sensible and I don't know about Glirdan. If I missed someone, they're under my radar.

Eonwe, I don't think pirate lingo comes any more naturally to the rest of us. I could be wrong, though.
Eonwe is defensive, but I'm not sure it's a sign of fishiness. People seem a bit too quick to jump on him, too, which makes me wary. Glirdan has been latching on to what people say, and it's odd that Mac should suspect the latter on grounds that apply more to the former. Wilwa seems to be admitting the desire to fabricate a vote here:

BG and now Morsul are being especially pointless and I'm tempted to emulate Nog and lynch the least helpful. I'm the most suspicious of Glirdan and Eonwe, but it doesn't seem likely I'll hear enough to make an informed choice between them, and I doubt they're both evil. Bah.

Hmm... I don't like Nerwen Defendin' me, She knows I'm prone to vote somewhere else when she fills my sails with flattery! My piratey talk stinks

Also The Eonwe Wagon seemed wrong. I understand the one for me. But Eonwe from rereading wasn't that suspicious.

So when I have time I'll really look into her voters! for now, Off to Boston!...

Oh An' Captain I'd be much Obliged if you put up a Living Dead List Thank Ye.

Okee. So yesterday sucked, though Day 1 bandwagons usually do.

Shall we look at votes? Yes we shall.

Eonwe -> Glidran
Morsul -> Nerwen
Rikae -> Morsul
Wilwa -> Eonwe
Inzil -> Eonwe(2)
Nerwen->Eönwë(3)
Mac->Eönwë(4)
Shasta -> Morsul(2)
Autume -> Morsul(3)
BeiGei->Morsul (4)
Glirdan -> Eonwe (5)
Elf-Warrior -> Eonwe (6)

If Morsul is guilty, then Glirdan likely is too, since he was the one who saved him there. So basically everyone who voted after me voted for someone who had votes already, Inzil doesn't look bad for it, Nerwen kind of. Mac kind of does though (in my opinion more then 3 votes for the same person in a row is a bad sign). Shasta looks really good, he split up the votes, which is nice, and if Morsul is guilty Shasta probably isn't. BeiGei's vote is interesting, since it made the tie, she's likely innocent if Morsul is guilty. Elf-Warrior's vote is kind of bad too.

Basically I don't like the way that looks. Everyone was copying each other's vote, and it just doesn't look nice. Right now, based on votes alone, Mac's, Glirdan's and Elf-Warrior's votes look the worse.

Well, now I have to go. It's my mom's birthday and the family is going out for breakfast. We have a lot planned today, but I'll try my hardest to get on as much as possible.

Inaccurate, eh? Here's what those three said:

Obviously Eönwë was innocent, but at the time all that did look odd.

And as you noted, you voted for Eönwë yourself.

Despite the fact that you'd made a pointed accusation against someone else shortly before you voted.

That smilied first sentence raises my internal warning bell. Yes, it could just be an innocent joke. But that isn't what my gut says. Gonna to review the thread afore I vote, but Rikae, I accuse you.
You changed your mind about Nerwen in your next post, but you seem to have totally forgotten about 'accusing' Rikae. And I, not Rikae, was your initial focus toDay.

EW, that smilied bit was actually kind of an inside joke from RL WW at our recent moot - Boro and Wilwa were there, they'll know what I mean.

I won't be around much for a while - I will be watching sports (that's right - I realize this is suspiciously out of character ) but when I return, I'd like to give the votes yesterDay a close look. Right now Inzil's defensiveness is making me uneasy, but at the same time. I'm not sure why so many people ended up voting for Morsul, since my vote was pretty clearly a throwaway - and indeed, one of those people was a cobbler. Shasta's "my only other option is Morsul" seems kind of out of place - I don't see why it should have been. Well, I'll be back in a few hours...

Back again.

Still not too much going on then? For 17.5 hours that's kind of dissapointing, especially since I have to vote in about 2.5 hours. (going to sleep early since I work early).

At this point, if I had to vote, I would have no idea who to vote for. So all I ask is that someone please do something suspicious in the next 2.5ish hours. kthnxbai.

BG's list bugs me about as much as his songs do. Glirdan looks crazy suspicious, but hey, he kind of always does to me. Nerwen's 'rule of 3' thing was odd, but I guess it was something to say and kind of a Day 1 tradition. I appreciate Mac talking normal. And this made me giggle:

Arr!

Since I was gettin' up at th'early hour, I be gettin' tired an' be goin' t' me cabin.

I be a-thinkin' that Glirdan be the mos' suspicious out o' th' lot o' ye, so 'e'll be gettin' my vote.

So far, e's jus' been latchin' on t' what's been said, an' twistin' it in 'is own way.

None o' ye seem completely fishy, but out o' ye, Fishdan be seemin' th' worst, an' th' mos' likely t' be workin' agains' us.

Ok. So really not much to go on, but I have to sleep now cause I'm getting up really early.

I'm going to vote for

He seems really defensive over fairly small comments. For example:

So you expect me to find it natural to speak about pirate topics and in the right dialect?

All of those just seem unnecessarily defensive to me. So that's the best I got. Sorry I can't stay up any later.
