I'm here, I'm here! I'm reading.

Thank you for the vote list, Sally. It's much easier that way than trying to piece tht together in your brain.

Lols.

@Nog: welcome to my newly-founded "Red-orange" category! Your votes are just so... weird. You've explained your Lottie-vote, but that doesn't change the fact that you only voted after it was clear that she will be going. And your Mith came almost-out-of-nowhere. You've suspected her in two posts before your vote, but not before that (IIRC. Please correct me if I'm wrong). That was after Kit appeared on many peopple's top-suspect lists. Before that, even during the same Day, you didn't really notice her. As Greenie (? was it her?) said, it was like washing your hands from the Kit-wagon. It looks a lot to me like you're just looking for a convenient person to cast suspicion on.

ToDay I've been paying more attention to Nilp's posts, and I've started getting a bad inkling about them (I believe I said so before in reply to Lommy a while ago, and I'll say it again). Eomer will be placed somewhere more or less definite when he posts about someone other than me.

Edit: xed with a bunch

I'm inclined to follow Greenie's vote. If there's nothing evil about Nog, I'll be ready to join Kit and Sally's "Hat-and-Sock Eating Club".



Edit: that was meant to be somewhat of an ETA to my last post

I hope you have now read my post concerning them and readjusted your categories...

Okay then.

Now I feel like I'd have to readjust my suspicons as well. Nilp and Mith bother me to no end as their very personal reactions look pretty weird or at least oversensitive. Something in me says to drop it off with them and if they'd be wolves, then ignore their victory. The other voice tells me that don't I see that's just bluff...

If I'd have to vote for one of them it would be Mith as there is something to really suspect her on (her vote on D1 as the only saving vote for Lottie) unlike with Nilp where most of my suspcion rests on him being over-eager to support some people which as an act looks pretty lupine as the wolves need friends - and can't afford upsetting people by suspecting them (look at the number of retaliatory thoughts in this game fex.).

I can't see a good enough reason to vote for Lommy or Legate by now and even if Eomer gives me creeps I have nothing tangible against him either.

Bom most probably is an uninterested and uninformed ordo (see my earlier post on him for more clarification).

So Greenie? She really scares me now and I'm fighting against the urge to pay back for her ill-adviced suspicion on me which I think she made a way too easily - and am afraid is something the baddies thought they could do toDay. But I have nothing to back that but the bad feeling I get from her - and which I know I get from her more or less every game I play with her...

G55 then? The reason I tend to think her innocent is the way Lottie behaved on D1. Otherwise I'm torn with her. Sometimes she seems to be very well on track of what happens and on others she seems to make either totally odd or then totally sinister posts (opportunistic, suspecting with odd reasons those I think innocentish etc.). If there was not the "case Lottie" behind there I'd probably vote for her, but now I'm more or less insecure about it.

Then again I was wrong with a case based strongly on Lottie's behaviour yesterDay and I'd hate to be fooled by Lottie two Days in a row...

And Sally then? Oh well... I wouldn't be surprised that much if she turned out a wolf but she's not topping my list either. She's about everywhere but still nowhere on my map right now. I suspected her on D1 but I'm not that suspicious anymore. But then there's the nagging thought she changed her ways after seeing where it led her and now plays more carefully...

Phew... vote, vote, vote...

No, it's clear, the latter comment was more like the sudden hunch, if you know what I mean. As if I suddenly said 'now as I am writing this I get this creepy feeling that X and Y are actually...' but my main suspect still remains with the previous person, whom I suspect based on much more evidence than the latter two, about whom just something fresh new occured to me.

I want you to take a picture of that, if you didn't do that already!!!

And you all know the result of that vote...
This of course is what I expected more people to think, although of course I could also understand (like somebody had said here before) a Wolf (probably just one) staying out of the wagon and saying 'Oh woe, don't ye people see the wrongness of your doing?' But no, this time it actually does not seem like that to me, and not even in Nog's case.

I am not going to comment on any of these things, since I just think personal feelings should be kept out of WW. I believe since the modly interventions several years ago (when I haven't been playing yet, but I got the picture that it was necessary back then) it was clear and is clear to everyone that nobody should offend anyone personally in WW. Ergo, I assume nobody is doing that, and if I get such a feeling, I ignore it because I know that everybody of course is sensible and does not want to offend me so it's probably just how it seems to me, and anyway, it has no real meaning for the game. If somebody is offended, then that's of course bad, but then again, most often it's just misunderstanding. If somebody was tricking people with seeming offended, then I would call it unfair practice, but once again, since I believe us to be fair people ('fair play' even from the baddies and all), then I don't assume anybody would be doing that.

Therefore, back to the game, my opinions on people didn't really change much since my last post, and my suspects remain on the similar level as before. I might consider voting Mith or Eomer most likely, others in my orange zone possibly. Now on to see if I x-posted with anyone and then maybe something more, or I will let Lommy use the computer again, since we're sharing it now.

EDIT: x-ed with reappearing Bom! and others after it...

That's actually what I meant (the bolded part); I'm not assuming she did do anything to them. I was just sad that she died and was whining at the wolves for killing her. (I just wanted to clarify since it appears you didn't understand my meaning.)



I'm really thinking I'll be voting Mith toDay. Just for anyone who's interested.


Edit: x'd since the post I quoted. I also cleaned up my sentence a bit.

Yes, I understood as much too, but at the same point was just wondering whether there might not be other stuff behind you saying that.

Whatever. I think I feel my brain is slowly shutting off and I have an early-ish waking up tomorrow too, so I will just vote now. I think it seems like several people want to vote Mith, I think that in that case I might choose her out of my options. It will also, in any case, clear some stuff. But generally there is all I have said previously - the avoidant posting, especially on the first Days, which basically kept her out of conflict, with a few rather unrelated remarks here and there, likewise the voting, especially yesterDay (with the rather consistent, but quite throwaway vote). Slipping under the radar too much, yes.

Other words, or a sort of toDay's legacy on my part - what I said above (in my previous post) about Bom; although if he's a Wolf and if he does not really participate so much, then...

See if I crossposted with something and then vote...
