No more logic from me. From now on it's all going to be whimsical emotions. There is no logic in this game. Everyone is on his own team and is free to act however he wants to act and is interested first and foremost in self preservation as his knowledge of himself is the only sure thing he has to hold onto.

Therefore logically there is no rational way of telling anyone apart. You will see that from Day 1 all the way until the beginning of yesterday I had Ang listed as my most innocent person. Why? Because of feelings. And my feelings were correct, weren't they? But I allowed myself to be swayed with logic and moved Ang down my list a bit.

But even then, late in the day I still didn't want Ang killed and made an offer to him to vote with him against Kath to save his skin, but he never showed up. Instead, SPM showed up and tacked his vote onto Ang, and then Di followed, and it was all over.

I should've fought for Ang's life and put my foot down. I should've trusted the gut feeling that I had the whole game. But I pushed my feelings aside and told myself they were silly.

I was a fool to allow logic to influence me, for logically there is no logic present in this village. Look no further than the nightly kills. Three nights in a row, perfectly good lynch targets have been murdered. If the WW is not playing rationally why in the world are we trying to pick him/her out with rational thinking? We must be buffoons.

So anyway, here's what I've decided.

At the end of the day I'm going to vote for exactly who I feel like voting for, and I refuse to be swayed by extravagant cases and eloquent accusations. I will post my feelings on things like voting and behavior and then I will vote with my gut. It's been right more often. It was right about Ang, Boro, and Eomer. My head hasn't been right once.

And for my first statement of feelings...

I feel like I want SPM to live till the end. I certainly don't feel him to be innocent the way I did Boro and most of the game Ang- Sauce could very well be the WW. But really, there's only a 1 in 4 chance that it's him, so that's a pretty safe bet. Plus, I can't think of a better WW to win than SPM. I like the way he's been playing and I'd love to hear him do a "Mwu ha ha! Here's how I executed my master plan..." at the end.

So, there you have it. I will only vote for SPM to save my own life.

That leaves Di, Kath, and Mith for targets.

Kath has been super quiet this game. I wish we wouldn't have been talked out of bumping her off a couple days ago. If it comes down to the final day and Kath is still around I'm going to vote for her even if I think the other person looks to be the more likely WW, simply because I refuse to allow a WW to win using Kath's ultra-quiet strategy.

I'll talk about Di and Mith later. Tonight if I get the chance, but maybe not till tomorrow after my morning classes.

Oh, and I also plan to embark on a wild goose chase involving a statement made by Fea on her blog. This village is all about her, after all. It would be rude to ignore her.
