The kills seem to point towards lions/lovers that were relatively comfortable on Day One, so with that in mind: a list!

Hodor.
Gil
Greenie
Rikae
Kitanna
Volo

Hodor?
Copper - Sweetly and soundly sleeping under my radar.
Nogrod - All helpful and reasonable, but I can't make myself trust him.
Eonwe - Nothing sticks out as suspicious, except the vote.
Boro - Boro?
Loslote - Reasonable, except her suspicion of me, but I might be biased about that.
Sally - Sally?
Encai - Sweetly and soundly sleeping under my radar.
Nerwen - All helpful and reasonable, but I can't make myself trust her. (wrote this before seeing her vote, might re-evaluate)

Hodor!
Inzil - See above.
Wyth - Won't vote for him toDay, but I'm still wary.
Eomer - Just going along with other people's suspicions here, I know, but he has been playing it safe.

The Skip waggon was already quite under way before I got under more serious suspicion (after Greenie's post), so the first part doesn't make sense.
If I was a lion and any other lions thought it was safe to vote for me yesterDay, I'd have to do some roarin' at them during the Night. That was definitely too close for comfort. Also, Greenie and Nogrod put some serious points under their votes - not very lion-on-lion.

Macalaure · 06-27-2014, 12:51 PM

EDIT: I realize that Inzil doesn't go together with "the lions were probably comfortable". I'll look up "consistent" in the dictionary some time.

Rikae · 06-27-2014, 01:04 PM

For reasons previously mentioned:

++Encaitare

Thinlómien · 06-27-2014, 01:38 PM

If Greenie's tally was correct, we now have

Cop – Eomer
Eomer – Inzil
Lottie – Inzil (2)
Nerwen - Mac
Rikae - Encai
Kitanna - Encai (2)

and 11 people left to vote.

edit: xed with Nog

Thinlómien · 06-27-2014, 01:49 PM

Wavering between Encai and Kit...

Inzil is a better choice than Mac, but not really too keen on either.

edit: xed with a bunch again

Nogrod · 06-29-2014, 05:19 AM

HAha. On specualting Lommy's vote yesterDay... she herself even said this

Nogrod · 06-29-2014, 05:38 AM

So was Lommy preparing the ground to vote Inzil to save her mate but then thought it too risky and decided to back off from the whole choice?

Looking back a few pages I found little worth referring, but maybe something.

Lottie looks pretty good pressing Mac into defence with some tough suspicion - and her post toDay was clear and reasonable. The two things combined make me think a whole lot better about her.

Lottie also suspects Mac and Inzil of lackluster suspicion - like a lion-on-lion suspicion... That is followed by a curious Mac suspecting Inzil post that isn't far from being exactly lackluster - and ending up with: “Defend yourself, sir!” + smilie.

Kitanna seems to try and ease pressure on Mac in a careful fashion while making a slip worthy of comparison with Mac's own slip...

It would be funny if we had a game where two lions gave themselves away with classical slips of tongue!

Lommy had been talking about people rushing to defend Kit from left and right the whole game even if she hadn't been suspected heavily at all. Answering my query about who those would have been she gave a list which is as follows: Mac, Cop, Encai, Nog, Rikae.

Now Mac was a lion - but Kit tried to run for Encai I myself had been suspecting for other reasons. And Lommy was hoping to vote for Kit or Encai, not willing to vote Mac. Very interesting mess indeed!

Vanishing too for a while...

I feel fairly good about Lottie at this point.
That deal from Mac was weird, and a bit frustrating. I had already given reasons for my vote on skip, but he kept on about it.

Kit has been a concern for me, mainly due to the safe votes on two Days. It would be a laugh if she was a Lion. Had I seen Mac's slip Day 1 in time I could have voted for him, but I would have also thought 'can it really be that easy?'

Mess is the right word. I still think the bandwagon on me was an effort to get pressure off Mac. Eomer and Lottie were the first two votes for me, but I do think better of Lottie.

And Greenie: good catch (again) about Kitanna! Can you proofread my thesis when I finally get around to writing it?

That was actually kind of mind-blowing - and I know I read the very same sentence earlier myself but didn't catch it...

Now this would be a slip of the year indeed! I mean yeah, how does she know she didn't mention any lions unless she knew who they were aka being one herself?

Could it be this easy? Probably not...

But I'm going to go back and see whom she actually left without notice (the first part of her list everyone - mysef included - have kind of ignored as "not seerish").

EDIT: X'd like billions (didn't realize there was a new page already in full speed...)

Firstly, you had already come under some suspicion earlier. Secondly, I only said they might have thought it was safe. Thirdly, I wouldn't have expected either of those two to sound "very lion-on-lion" if in fact they were.

I don't claim that any of this actually proves you're a villain, mind you, I'm just explaining my vote. Okay?

EDIT: x'd since Mac at #275.

Didn't mention any lions? Meaning what?

Indeed. Meaning what?

Gil-Galad · 06-27-2014, 01:19 PM

As much as I see the point to vote for Mac, i am always weary of day one bandwagons. Skip fell victim to it and Mac was really close. I am willing to give Mac one more day.

Zil does sit odd with me as well, but being rather talkative at the beginning and then getting some backlash.

I don't see enough from Eomer to make him a guilty person. Being quiet is almost as bad as talking a lot in these games.

Enca has been downplayed and helpful, to a point that flying under the radar is obvious.

I will think before i vote in the next couple minutes.

X'd with greenie

A Little Green · 06-27-2014, 01:22 PM

I'm not super happy with the three who have already got some votes; I don't suspect Encai or Eomer and have no idea about Inzil. I'd prefer Mac or Kitanna toDay, would be okay with Lommy, Copper or Loslote too.

Thinlómien · 06-27-2014, 01:32 PM

Personally I would prefer lynching a quieter person toDay, because I keep getting the feeling the village is getting sidetracked mostly focusing on the loudmouths. I don't want anyone to feel like they can keep posting a couple of short posts per Day and slip under the radar and gobble up the village in their sleep. But this might just be the normal loudmouth vs quieter poster debate that we don't definitely need half an hour before the DL.

"Frivolous twitchiness"? The only frivolous thing I did was starting the Day by a long banter post - and I don't regret that, it's not every day you get such a chance to make stupid jokes about A Song of Ice and Fire.

I mean. That she was chosen because she didn't specifically mention any lions in her posts. So they chose her as a no trace kill.

Edit: just a theory on why her since what she said didn't look too seerish to me, with the exception of her Wilwa defense

Gil-Galad · 06-27-2014, 01:45 PM

With almost 15 min to go before deadline, there is a lot of people not speaking or showing up today.

++Mac

I don't like most of the choices here, but out of all of them I have found Mac to be defensive, even passionate at times on day 1 when it was a close call for him. He has a part in this, but it leans more to a sinister part.

Now back to studying and hoping i pass this exam.

X'd since lommy

WythDryden · 06-27-2014, 01:47 PM

Another question. If there is a tie in the votes, do both people get lynched?
