You're right it would have been smarter to just vote Glirdan to save myself because even after my reveal wolf or not, no one would have added another vote to me. But I didn't particularly want to see Glirdan lynched yet again for no reason other than don't lynch me.

I don't know what was up with all that last minute voting though. Yes it was frantic, me included. I could have done better co-ordinating at the end, but really I mean everyone voted someone different? Thanks Shasta, you bought yourself a few good days of my grace before I have to seriously consider looking at you as a suspect.

Believe it or not, I'm still waiting to hear from Bom today before deciding whether I would have no question he's a wolf and lynch him, or if I let other stuff get in the way of better judgement. Gotta love revenge voting, it's not WW without 'em.

Sorry Glirdan. Not the best choice I could have made.

And Inzil deid? The immediate thing to take from this is suspicion of McCaber and Bom.

Eonwe and G55 seem likely innocents to me. Not sure, of course. Certain others look suspicious too; I'll try to go through it in more detail later.

Eruhen has just left Hobbiton.
As far as me being a submarine, that was due to RL reasons, unfortunately. Left mid-afternoon for what I thought would be a short shopping trip, and ended up not getting back till 20 minute before DL.

YesterDay turned out nuts, even by Day 1 standards, and there was no reason for someone to get lynched with two votes, even on Day 1! Fortunately, now that we have things to go on, toDay's already looking better.

I'm also rather disturbed that Inzilarond got killed, but some of what he said was looking Seer-ish (as others have already pointed out), so I can see where the wolves might have gotten paranoid.

I voted for Bom for a couple of reasons (which I'll enumerate in a bit), but the main one was trying to save Boro, because regardless of whether he's the Hunter or not, I was willing to give him a Night to work before lynching. Granted, I should have voted for Glirdy to save Boro, but my brain wasn't working too well then. Hauling a screaming toddler around for five hours kinda does that to you.

Oh, and by the way, Shasta, I'm a guy.

Now, research.

Back again. Sorry for not being around– I just wasn't able to get to a computer for most of the day.

This is true– through a frame can't be ruled out either. Still, I think it's pretty safe to assume that *if* the wolves in fact killed him for being "Seer-ish" it would have been because of his comments on one of those two.

Why, though? G55's last post looks quite bad to me, actually.

EDIT:X'd with Eruhen.

Well, I was going to post an analysis of Bom and why I voted for him, but now that I look through his posting history, I'm not seeing anything that OOC (for Bom, at least ). So, it would appear that my vote yesterDay was a throw-away.

Not that it mattered, since it came after DL, but that's beside the point.

So, looks like I'm back where I started. I remember Bom posting in the last WW thread that the first three people to post are the wolves.

So, that makes G55, Foley, and... um... me. Hmmm. Didn't think that one through all that well. Back to the drawing board...

That's how the saying goes, as far as I know. Or, that one of the three first people is a wolf. But you shouldn't trust that - last game the first three people were innocents (I remember waiting on purpose before posting so that I won't be in the trio ).

About Bom: he does have his own way of posting that people are prone to pick on. Last game people jumped on innocent him for one post because of that style. He's an easy lynch target because of that. However, if he's a wolf, he's a dangerous one, as it's often hard to tell when he's really serious (if ever). So far, even ignoring his "jokes", he looks quite suspicious to me.

That... is a very strange way to look at it. I am myself puzzled by Bom's behaviour yesterDay, which doesn't really make sense for a wolf– but all the same, newbie wolves can do some weird things, and he was surely the single most suspicious-looking person yesterDay. I suppose you could say, based on his other two games, that it's not OOC for him to act suspicious– but that's not saying much, is it? Anyway, the real point is: did you have a reason for voting him, or didn't you? You almost seem to be saying both things here.

Believe it or not, Eruhen, this is an actual piece of WW lore. Make of that what you will.

EDIT:X'd with G55.

YesterDay, I was mainly using my vote to try to protect Boro. I should have voted for Glirdy, but I was frazzled after a long afternoon out with my 18-month-old daughter, Bom had ticked me off for some reason, and time was running out. So, I picked him.

But toDay, after looking through his posting history on this game and the other two he's been a part of, I see that most to all of what he posted yesterDay was in character for him. I'm holding off judgement for now and watching to see how things go.

So, short and sweet: I thought I had a reason yesterDay, but, on reflection, I'm not so sure anymore. He's still red-tinted on my list, but he's not in the red. Orange, maybe. Or maybe burnt sienna.

But– "for some reason"? Did you suspect him at the time?
