Well, we are coming close to the deadline and I'm ready to vote.

++Nogrod

Because he is acting very suspicious of Galadriel, and while I agree that she has been rather, um, aggressive, I don't think that would be a good lion strategy. It could be that Nogrod is latching on to that and trying to draw attention toward her. Meanwhile, he has been very quiet, maybe to keep attention away from himself. (Surely one can post on the internet and watch the World Cup at the same time. )

We got a bandwagon, baybay!

But given how many WW games there have been (this must be the 8 millionth or something, right) I have to think that the villains won't have voted for Skip like that. It just looks too bad. They would be smarter than that... I think.

G55 and Mac probably aren't both lions (see G55's vote on Mac - unnecessary on D1 especially as Mac had been suspected by a couple of people already). But one of then could very well be (I'd rather vote G55).

Then there is the Skip-wagon... namely Kitanna, Wilwa and Inzil.

If Skip is innocent - and especially if at least one lion already had a vote at that time, I'd say it is quite probable even there is at least one lion - if not two there. Sadly the inference has two "if's" in it.

I'd see our best choices toDay somewhere along those lines. Any ideas?


EDIT: Oops the number of posts X'd!

Some posts I came across that would be interesting if both are lions:

Possibly setting up for a future find?

Another of the "suspicious, but would a lion do this?" posts.

And again even more strongly here (three layers of nested quotes is too much for me).



And now to look at the mess that was yesterDay...

Deadline is coming up and I am posting this on a dying phone. As with every game, I have my hunches on who I think is someone special. Given that it is day 1, there is nothing substantial to back up any of the early votes.

I feel that Skips poor choice of words when accusing me did lead to the bandwagon against him. I know the feeling, I have done it countless times. That being said, I could do the easy vote or go with one of my hunches. And being incapable to quote and out of a time to post this, I will have to support my hunch as best as I can on the next day, if I survive till then.

++Boro

Something always points me to him, and I feel every game I end up voting for you.

5% battery left, will check when i start work.

Though I respect your honesty about past dishonesty, it does make me suspicious.

I definitely DID have invisible mode on, but, alas, I can never seem to get an easy break with trying to function on this forum it seems.

I was initially going to vote on Skip just because he seemed to stand out. But again, my ideas about it were swayed with how bringing this much attention to himself would not be good strategy. Or would double psychology here be a good defense? Either way, I'm not so sure. This might make my strategy a bit weak, but I'm still figuring things out around here. And lots of names are hard to keep up with. So now I'm admittedly shooting a bit in the dark, but Mac and G55 seem to be standing out to me. Ultimately, I may not be able to post again with my luck on here, so I'll just go with:

++Mac

Edit: I'm still squinty-eyed about Nog too though.

Thanks love! And how many of us left to vote? Seven? Minus Nerwen, who likely won't vote anyway.

EDIT: x-ed since Lommy's tally post, which obviously is the one I'm referring to.

One of my top suspects atm, and as such a better option than other current options.
