About my knowledge of innocents-if you are not a wolf, you know as much as I do-the three corpses plus yourself. If you are a wolf, you know rather more, naturally. I am making no claims to special knowledge.~Anguirel, Post 201
Makes sense to me, I clearly misunderstood.

I think your explanation is admirable and for today I'm not going to vote for you. I say this because of the quote above and this...
Quote:
Indeed, I am in the tricky position of having to consider accusing Celuien, who extended an arm of alliance to me. Bear with me. I will decide, and I will justify that decision.
Which I will give you that oppurtunity.

The only thing that gets me still worried about you is your no-vote. You may be able to explain and say you're undecided. The only problem is when votes got tied yesterDAY your vote could have been crucial. Though, I'm not going to go solely on that, I think it's possible you did not intend votes to get tied, and two when they were tied at the very end you probably weren't around, correct? So, for now, your explanation appeases me. And I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about Celuien.

Ok, now on to the gathering votes of Gil-galad. I think those who are voting for him to get rid of him should be watched carefully. I see three possibilities in what Gil-galad is trying to do.

1) He's a wolf trying to protect another wolf. If this is the case it would be good to vote for him because this gets rid of a wolf, doesn't matter who he's protecting. But, I think it's the most unlikely case. I don't think a wolf would sacrifice himself to protect someone. Because one, it gets rid of a wolf, and two could make it easy to find who he's trying to protect.

2) He's attempting a bold double-bluff. Thinking if he votes for himself we'll think it far too bold for a wolf, therefor we would think that he can't be a wolf, thus achieving the double-bluff. I think Gil-galad is more capable of trying to pull off a double-bluff more than from other players.

And 3) which is the most likely reason in my thinking is Gil-galad has come across more urgent priorities and can't commit to the thread anymore. Therefor, he wants out realizing that he can't commit to it like he thought he could.

Now, it may be good to vote for someone simply because they won't be around, and therefor would be no further help to us. However, we are in a desperate situation, and if we take out Gil-galad today, and he turns out not to be a wolf, you must realize by tomorrow the score is going to be Villagers-8 Wolves-3, no Seer, and our survival becomes less likely.

If he turns out to be a wolf, that would be great for the village. But my thinking is most likely number 3 because of just the words he says...

sorry guys for not posting, i've had an, how you say, eventful day, me almost commiting suicide and all, but i'm just here to say that i'm an odrinary villager, but i feel it will be best that i leave
I pretty much believe what Gil, is saying and think other situations have come up and he can't contribute anymore. Though, by voting for him we waste a valuable day in which we could catch a wolf. I don't think he's trying to protect someone, or attempt a bold double-bluff, I believe it when he says he's an ordinary villager and can't commit to the thread anymore. I would like to help him out in this situation, but the problem is, again if we hang him tonight it's basically a wasted night, unless if the other possibilities are true and he is a wolf.

I also think those who are jumping quickly to get Gil-galad out should be watched.
