Alas.... I'm crushed. I guess Jenny's death makes me the Dread Pirate Roberta now. (That's how it works in The Princess Bride. Though, technically, she should have retired to enjoy her spoils instead of been rudely mauled to death.)

Only, I'm not up the task. I've been debating a little here whether I ought to refrain from voting toDay and let some ModFire take care of me. Because I can tell you pretty surely that my participation isn't going to get any better than it has been. I knew before signing up for this game that it wasn't the best idea, due to RL timing, but the lure of pirates and lovers and it being Cailín's game made me ignore my smarter self.

Thing is, pride is still making me ignore my smarter self. I don't like the idea of having a withdrawal or a ModFire death on my record, so to speak. But then, I really don't want to be lynched, because I'm damn proud of my "never been lynched" record -- and hanging about not participating and throwing up votes just to stay in the game is a good way to garner an "ire lynching." So what to do.... what to do.... Um, would you wolves believe me if I said I'm the Seer and kill me? No? Well, it was worth a shot.

I think I am going to vote. Just because I actually have a suspect, oddly enough. You see, all I've really done is read over all the posts once -- and I can never do anything smart if that's all I've done. I have to at least re-read the whole game once or twice, and preferably analyze individual players, and most preferably have some kind of whack theory to view things through a la tinted glasses. But I've either not had the time, or when I have had the time, I've been much too preoccupied and neither my head or my heart have been in it. So this pretty much means that I don't have any opinions about anyone (seeing as I hardly remember who made what posts, anyway.) But the one exception is Saucepan Man. His posts have made me feel uneasy, and the fact that most everyone else is putting him on their "likely innocent" lists makes me even more uneasy.

+ + The Saucepan Man

And no, you're not going to get any solid reasoning, because it's pretty much a gut thing. I'm comfortable making this vote because, even if I am wrong, the likelihood of a bandwaggon forming off my vote is pretty slim. My impression reading through was that the majority trusts him. For what it's worth, I don't, and I don't think anyone should, but you apparently do, so oh well.

Oh, and I'm not a wolf. I think it's fairly obvious and this is why -- wolves don't make petty kills at Night. Unless they're very, very stupid. And while I have been too preoccupied this week to play the game the way I ought, I'm not that stupid. Neither is Lhuna, which was why lynching her was, yes, stupid. You're not going to find wolves amongst people who petty/grudge voted against Eomer, because those are not the same people who as wolves would have killed him at night. Now, people who voted for him for other reasons, I really can't say, though I find it doubtful.

So, I haven't really decided what to do but I don't want to definitely exit myself from the game just yet. Hence the vote. This will be my last contribution for the Day. Next week will be rather busy for me (I have this silly idea to cram multiple trips to Summerfest in between my two jobs, haha haha haha) so I may just ask Cailín to off me anyway. I guess the only thing stopping me is a dislike for the idea. I'm kind of hoping that by sticking around I'll at least boost the Innocent numbers for you, even if my personal contribution isn't good for much else.

Of course, if everyone just screams at me to get my useless rump gone, I suppose I could do that as well. *shrug*
