As a matter of fact I gotta dash. Social duties must be fulfilled.

This may seem random, and it is to a large degree, but I'd rather try a shot in the dark at a submarine at this point than at a person who's contributed more.

Not that happy about Lottie's vote by the way. Seems too safe a choice.

And Rikae. Wow!

I am starting to like the idea of lynching a "quiet one" toDay myself. The loud ones are so intertwined, the death of one will tell us something about others; the quiet ones not so much. The wolves seem inclined toward no-trace kills, perhaps for this reason. We would force them to kill a loudmouth and leave a trail... if we lynch an evil quiet one, so much the better, but if we lynch a good quiet one, at least the remaining innocents will be the more helpful ones, alive or wolf-killed.

I will say I don't like the idea of lynching Kitanna as per my idea earlier. I might not be opposed to lynching, say, Greenie, whom I can never read, if a submarine is what we want. Plus I know how dangerous Mufasa can be .

I am uncomfortable with Loslote's vote and I do not like how Wilwarin is abstaining at all.

Heading home now, so I will be back with my vote in a little while.

I'm sharing the computer with dear Lommie toDay, means that my participation is again somewhat limited.

Funnily enough, the very post you are talking about here struck me as another cobbler hint.

For some reason I'm not buying that either, darling.

Shame on you, son. And Simba was more dangerous than Mufasa anyway.

List coming..

You're taking the word attention out of context and I don't like that one bit. It's entirely different to seek attention than to say something so obviously evil and try to wriggle out of it afterwards. Actually what's the whole point of your comment? What's the point in saying you don't believe me? As I see it, you take something I said out of context and then accuse me of lying.

I know Greenie and I have an history of suspecting each other, but that comment moved her right now from my Either category to Guilty.

Rikae - I was waiting for you to finally give some reasons for your feeling about me, so the analysis is much appreciated, and unlike with Mac's foregone conclusions (see above), I can totally live with that, when I see somebody's actually weighing the pros and cons.

Eomer - I don't know if it's just because of the size of the village that he has slipped under my radar, or if he's doing it on purpose.
Elra - Under good old Rudolph as well.
Macalaure - Hmm. I don't agree with all he says, but he seems quite genuine.
Shasta - I'd say he looks innocent if I didn't remember how completely he's fooled me countless times before. Nah, I'll still say that. (And if you are, in fact, a wolf, I'm permitted to murder you with a chainsaw, eh? )
Loslote - The vibes I get from her are innocent, but I'm not sure I buy everything she's done.
Kitanna - I believe her Hunter claim, obviously, it would make no sense at all for anyone else. If it's possible for her I'd prefer to keep her around for longer.
Wilwa - I was uneasy with her yesterDay before the Sally-episode, I haven't thought it through whether it would have made sense for her to say that stuff if she was, in fact, a wolf, so I'm undecided.
Nessa - I'm not sure about the validity of the points against her - apart from the idea of the wolves possibly finding Ozzy seerish. I'd need to check this, not sure if I have the time.
Pitchwife - YesterDay it seemed to me like he was being suspected for being like he always is. He seems like a regular Pitch to me, meaning that I can't really say this or that about his role.
Inziladun - Leaning bad - he's always driving me nuts because I can't read him at all, but though Lommy's point is almost too easy it makes sense. Three minutes is an awfully short time to read who died and figure all that out.
Rikae - I really can't say.
Boro - I'm finding him more innocent than not.
Blind Guardian - No read.
Skip - I'm not sure a Skipwolf would be so relaxed and would find the energy to make Hunter jokes. Then again, there was something fishy too, I don't have the quote so I have no idea what that was!
Mänwe - Posted once this far and baffles me a lot. Can't say this or that.
Valier - Her references to the little Maia are so cute I'm having a hard time seeing her as evil! Other than that, I don't have much on her.
Legate - Strangely enough I don't have much of an opinion of him. Usually I read him easier than this, which unnerves me a little.
Lommie - Seems ok this far.
Aganzir - She's either the cobbler or someone trying really hard to appear as one. At least she has an ego.
Caílin - Agh, no read on her either.

Conclusions? I think this village is just way too big. I can't handle entities of this size! It seems I'm flip-flopping or have no read on most of the people. I would have to check people one by one but will definitely not have the time for that toDay.


EDIT: x-ed with Rikae, Agan and Pitch

That was a joke, love, though apparently badly phrased.

I'm not in favor of voting a submarine just for the heck of it. There are already three innocents gone. Going after a quiet player whom one has nothing else on is all right for a Day 1 tactic, but I'd prefer voting for someone who actually looks suspicious, if most don't want to vote Kit.

There are submarines who look suspicious, though. Actually, being a submarine is in itself suspicious, but beyond that, there are ED and Lottie. Given a choice between a suspicious loud (in this case, Pitch) and quiet one, I'd go for the quiet one toDay for the reasons I mentioned.

Shasta, I wouldn't normally consider Greenie quiet... hm?

Definitely opposed to voting Kit.
