[The Only Real Estel]

The Evisse vote first.

Originally posted my 'TORE' (me):

My gut feeling was most certainly not Evisse, I was going to vote for the phantom, but allowed my head to talk me out of it until it was to late & I found myself forced to vote for Evisse because the vote count was 4 for Evisse and 3 for phantom. Obviously that problem with this vote count is that any werewolf could swoop in at the last second & lynch two villagers – this I obviously could not be responsible for letting happen. After waiting to see if I could catch a wolf trying to tie the vote, I then cast my vote at the last possible second for Evisse.

I've obviously posted this before, now I post it again. While I realize it would've been risky for a wolf to go for the double-lynching angle, I can think of a few people at least that I think have the wits to pull it off and come out of it looking innocent.

Now for the SoN vote.

And I would point out that TP and SpM had both voted for Sono before I, which is what caused the potential two or even three-way tie crisis, and that TORE waited until the last 15 minutes to vote after me

If my obvious suspicions are correct, then I may have prevented TORE from tying things yesterday

Yes Fordim, you did prevent me from tying things yesterday. I had hoped for a double lynching. Yes, I said that right. And yes, I am going to get some strange looks for admitting this, but here my reasoning. I was 90% sure of both SoN's & SpM's guilt, so I saw a great opportunity to lynch two wolves with one noose, especially since we are beginning to run out of time. I was hoping that Fordim would vote for Sauce and I could then tie it, but when he didn't, I saw there was little reason for me to hold my vote any longer. Now I'm not sure if I should be grateful for Fordim preventing this or not. SoN was hung anyway, so we killed an innocent. I was under the impression that SpM would probably go the next round no matter what. Therefore, if Sauce turns up wolfy, we could've saved a rounds worth of deliberations & hung a wolf along with the innocent. If Sauce & SoN both turned out to be innocent (which I find unlikely), then we at least would still have one more round's time left to work with - since an 'innocent' Saucey would most likely have gone this round anyway. But if they both would've been innocent I would've been violentyly shocked by electrical currents of suprise.

TORE seems to take sadistic pleasure out of being the last vote. Like Fordim he wants to make his vote count. As I don’t’ understand this philosophy of only voting those who are likely to die, there is great suspicion on you but not as much as the other four

The reason why I voted for one that was likely to die this time is because he was high on my suspect list anyway. The reason I voted for Evisse was to make sure two presumed innocents wouldn't both be hung (however unrealistic you might think it to be that the wolves would try such a bold plan).

I hope this clears up my reasoning for voting late in each of the first two rounds.

p.s. more to come soon...
