There really isn't much to go on, is there? G55 is playing a bit more off-the-wall than she normally does - that's really the only thing that's stuck out to me, like, at all, and it really doesn't point at one thing in particular.

I don't have a vote yet. I'll be back in a bit.

Edit: X'ed with Lottie.

To me his vote looks pretty innocent and self-aware. He knew full well that his suspicion was so flimsy that it was hardly worth the vote. But then his suspicion wasn't completely unfounded, and he was wary of Rune from early on. As I said prior, Morsul is veeery far away from my suspicion list.

That's what's frustrating me as well. I mean, I was rather hoping that I could generate a larger discussion. But it's just been so quiet all Day. Seems that things are picking up now, though. I'll stick around for another half an hour before bed, and will hopefully wake up early enough tomorrow to read everything properly.

(And yes, I do know this is Morsul we're talking about. I haven't forgotten that un-self-aware is his playing style...but he usually does try to look better when he's evil.)
His vote looks innocent enough, on the face of it. He also said he's ill, something to which I can relate, though I'm mostly over my issue. If he'd abstained he would have looked worse to me. I won't vote for him toDay anyway.

For a brief instant, the floating specks of electronic static take on the vague suggestion of a face. A voice, broken and faint, whispers,

"S.E.E.R. can detect bots only... not humans... not even Hackers..."

Ah, I was thinking that might be the case. Thank you, ethereal Magic Voice.

For a moment I read that as "S.E.E.R. can detect boots only", which made me picture the Seer peeking under the doors of bathroom stalls to see if someone's there and seeing those boots. Oh my. The things my mind does.

Right, my throat's getting scratchy as bedtime approaches, and prescription cough syrup awaits.

No one is really setting off any serious alarm bells, and I hate that I can't be around closer to DL.
I can narrow it down to two I'd vote for.

Boro is there because of the possible Hacker hint, and because I just haven't seen anything else from him.

Shasta is there because, well, mainly because he's Shasta.

Of the two, Boro is the more shady, though it's thin enough to read a newspaper through.

So it's

++Boro

I'll be up for a couple of hours yet, I imagine, but alas, I don't know who to vote for at this stage. I've some things to work on, so I'll be back later. This game will feature some mighty early votes from me.

Can there be two Hackers? Or is this just a mistypo?

Confound this infernal contraption! It erased my entire post before I could submit.

I'm reading through this thread, trying to find subtle hints and nefarious activities and I find myself coming up short.

The best I have right now is I find Morsul suspicious for no other reason than a gut feeling. His comment about Shasta trying to lull people into a false sense of security based on his narration interpretation. It raised my eyebrows and that is an argument about as strong as a wet noodle.

The only other person to even remotely register on my radar is G55 and I honestly don't think she'd open with "I'm a wolf" if she was a baddie. Seems more like a hacker or a crazed ordo trying to stir up talk.
