A short list...

GREEN ZONE
Nogrod - looks fine this far.
Lommy - not really any change from what I have said about her before. Looks fine to me, and the Lottie-lynch still clears her more or less, I'd say.
Nerwen - seems genuine with her posting (ai, ai. This does not look good.)

YELLOW ZONE
Kitanna - what I said above. Not too suspicious after all after reread.
Sally - not enough data right now, I'm afraid.
Nilp - looks more or less okay, the only thing that made me suspect him for a brief moment was the sort of "exchange" with Gal (but it was more like from Gal's part) with her merrily commenting on his posts and concluding that she cannot say anything about him (as in: "We've had a nice chat at Night, but should not continue in daylight."). Otherwise, no problem except for him calling Nogrod "kun" (reminds me of the old saying "If you call a whale 'little one', you probably have a 'big' problem." Or: dear students, please bear in mind that there's a difference between 'kun' and 'Exar Kun'.)
Greenie - there aren't too many of her posts, or not too much she has to say, but I don't see anything particularly eyebrow-rising nor anything particularly obviously-innocentish.
Mithalwen - is totally under the radar now. Like totally. Almost would make it back into the "reset" and grey zone. I should watch her from now on, but I think the problem is that there is veeery little to see even then, looking at her posts.

ORANGE ZONE
G55 - now with questionmarks hovering over her, moving her into the orange zone.
Eomer - actually now I am rather wary of him, like I said above. Is one of those I might vote for toDay.

RED ZONE
vacant right now, but waiting for some good candidates from the above

GREY ZONE
Bom - so, shall there be input?

EDIT: x-ed with a host of votes!!!

She took more effort to try to push a seemingly harmless remark away than Galadriel did in making it. She has hidden behind jokes and ramblings while attacking mostly those who have questioned her or defended her. Since my second post I said I didn't trust her and I didn't flipflop about that. True, I found Bom more suspicious at first, but he completely stopped talking, Sally didn't. And with every post I doubted her more and more.
Okay, fair enough. Thanks for the summary.

Mith now starts to raise my attention, seriously, also with her vote. What is the tally now? I wonder if it's a throwaway or whatever...

Every male I suffix with 'kun' (if I bother with Japanese honorifics) at all, cos, you know, everyone should call me 'sama'.

Really now, Nilp-chan? And yes, Legate-san, he has a big problem. But nothing an industrial paper shredder wouldn't fix.

Anyway, here:

Prologue
I look at 36 posts, and I shudder. So this shall be abridged.

43
First in-game-like comment.

Attacks Kit's infamous post and states that she's now'#2' on her suspicion list.

Quote:
Very likely of being baddies:
-Bom
-Kit
57
Clarifies why Bom's #1 on her suspicion list.

Distinguishes between accusation and suspicion. (Actually, if you're pointing fingers, however feeble the reason, you're accusing. And you did say (in 43):
Quote:
The only explanation I could come up with is that you [Kit] are a wolf who speaks while plotting who will be the first victim.
So Greenie-sama was 'more or less' right.)

Has the impression that Sally is innocent. Still suspicious of Kit and Bom, but thinks that both of them couldn't be evil.

61
Repeats that Sally doesn't 'sound like a wolf.'

129
Defensive. Well, she has a point about her 'defence' of Sally being exaggerated.

137
A list. (Always a ripe material for analysis.) Highlights:

Her suspicion of Kit moderates (she ends her analysis with ' Interesting (I'm not sure if it's in a good or a bad way...)'.)
Still thinks Sally is 'innocentish'.

Generally a noncommittal list--but there's that DAY 1 benefit-of-doubt thing.

157
Lampshades that she would have voted for Bom or Kit earlier. Says that she could vote for 'Greenie, Eomer, Lommy, and possibly Nilp'.

Thinks that 'Lommy's posts are somewhat fishy' due to her stance on Lottie and decides that she will probably be her candidate.

186
More defensiveness, this time about her vote.

194
Defensive vs Kit's analysis of her post, thens does the rubber-glue thing.

212
Defensive vs Eomer's analysis of her. Then another list. Kit still features prominently on that list.

221
Eomer-lysis. Can't get a clear picture of him.

222
Renews her questioning of Lommy. Doesn't consider Leg's vote baddie-fratricide, but hers could be. States that she would do a Nog-lysis.

226
Continues her discussion with Lommy re her votes yesterday. [Dead herring, dead herring--we have better things to do toDAY.]

233
Thinks Bom is more Ordo than not, due to his absentminded playing style.
Quote:
Suspicions of Bom go down somewhat, though still not dropped.
237
A colour list. Thinks Sally and Leg are innocent, and the closest to suspicion are Nog, Lommy, and Kit. (And Bom, Eomer, and Nilp are 'unknown'.)

239
'Nogalysis'. No conclusion, paints him in a somewhat negative light.

239
Ah, here's the conclusion. Still thinks something's up with Nog's vote, but '[d]espite that, he does not give me a bad gut-feeling, and at most of the time is quite reasonable.'

CONCLUSIONS:
Does not seem Novice-like (well, except for metagame stuff). But does appear like a confused Ordo. So not toDAY.

As the new day dawned, the mariners had been quite elated by the discovery and elimination of one of the killers (though somewhat tempered by the loss of the innocent Shasta).
However, serious discussions had soon resumed, aimed at ferreting out Loslote's companions. As the day once again neared its end, the most votes had been for Kitanna as the next to be hung.
Kitanna was led to the same tree used the previous day, protesting her innocence. The noose was placed, and she was made to stand on the rocks. As they were kicked away, the eager crowd stared at her. Nothing happened, only the still body swaying gently. And darkness came on the island again.

Bom Tombadillo
Nogrod

The Dead:

Inziladun: (Mod) (killed by the baddies Night 1)
Loslote: Evil Spirit (lynched Day 1)
Shasta: Ordo (murdered by the evil ones Night 2)
Kitanna: Ordo (lynched Day 2)

IT IS NOW NIGHT 3. Baddies, Seer, and Ranger do your thing.

On Tol Fuin, the night ruled. Most of the stranded sailors of Númenor tried to sleep, but some walked through the darkness on business of their own.
Nerwen awakened after only an hour or two of sleep. Since the night after the captain had been so brutally killed, her thoughts had been fixed upon the evil ones among them. Trying to get them by day was not enough. They should be stopped from doing vile deeds at night as well, and she was the one to do it.

Hidden from all, Nerwen had kept through the shipwreck her own short sword, concealed on her person always.

Now, she peered into the darkness, preparing to go in search of the ones she sought. She looked out toward the Sea, the crashing of the waves reminding her of home. Before her was a rocky cliff-wall, dropping steeply down some fifty feet to the water. Jagged rocks poked through the surf like teeth.
There was a noise behind her. Rising quickly, she drew her sword and turned in one movement. Rushing toward her were two man-shaped figures. Nerwen swung her sword to meet them just as they reached her. One dove at her feet, knocking her off-balance, as the other kicked her hard in the midsection. The sword flew backwards, out of her hand. Nerwen followed it, over the brink of the cliff to the rocks below.
The body was seen by the other mariners some hours later, prevented by the tides from being swept out to sea.

Nerwen: Ranger (knocked over a cliff by baddies Night 3)

IT IS DAY 3

This is all too... messy. Weird. And all. Including everything.

As in, why can't people vote five minutes earlier? Would be easier.
