Due to my work load (yes, I'm "doing nails" on a Saturday night in order to have all of my Sunday free), I'm going to vote now.

Since I have nothing better to go on than whim, I'm going to stick with tradition and say that

++EOMER (or was that Aimè? )

should be lynched on the first day. When a tradition is good, it's good.

And yes, I know that my pointless "accusation" (I'm not accusing, I'm merely voting at random, sort of) will probably get me into trouble, but I also know that my charm and wit and excellence at nail-painting is likely already to draw attention to me. I may as well make it worth it.

As it seems unlikely I'll get back on today I'm just going to vote. Given as we've practically nothing (aside from everything) to go I'd like to remind you that this is fairly random, I'm basically looking at a group of people I find equally suspicious and picking one.

That having been said I think I'll cast my vote for

++EOMER

Very courageous of you, casting votes for Eomer after he's stated he's signing off. Going for the easy mark, perhaps? And three of you in a row!

I stick to my argument about loudmouths. Eomer tries to flatter people more than Ang, that's why I'll vote him. Also he's preaching about people who post safe-posts and he himself posts "masked" safe-posts. I see no point in his reasoning.

You took the words right out of my mouth! It's so hard on the first day to sum everyone up. The voting has already started I see....But they are retractable remember.

The votes go as so, so far

Anguirel-Gandalf
Garin-Anguirel
Eonwe-Valier
Mithalwen-Eonwe
Eomer-Thinlomien
Feanor-Eomer
Thinlomien-Eomer
Shelob-Eomer
Wow these are all over the place!But it can't be helped on the first day.
I don't really suspect anyone yet but I guess it's all pretty random, as I've said earlier.So I will add another "Random" vote out there.

++Wayne the Goblin


Only because he IS an actor,he would be great as desguising himself as an Ordo,all the while being a Wolf.
I know the votes a bit out there but I can't pick up on any thing else!I will read over the posts a while more and see if I can come up with something more tangible.

EDIT:While I was posting 2 more votes came in for Eomer,that's a little weird how three in row voted for him....

So as of this moment, the voting is

Anguirel-Gandalf
Garin-Anguirel
Eonwe-Valier
Mithalwen-Eonwe
Eomer-Thinlomien
Feanor-Eomer
Shelob-Eomer
Thinlómien-Eomer
Valier-Wayne the Goblin

Feanor, Shelob. and Thinlomien all cast votes for the same person at about the same time. The only one who provided actual reasoning for this was Thinlomien. And you Valier, say you agreed with my previous statement and yet didn't act on that, and even attempted to brush it off.

So here's my list of suspicion and reasons, in order of most suspicious to least.

Feanor- For this

Quote:
Basically, we're allowing the wolves to start implementing their plans. We can't catch them unless we let them do it without question.
Who else but a wolf would suggest that? And with her skill in this game, she would be ideal at passing herself off as something else. I'm certain that she is not an Ordo- that sort of thing is reserved for newbies like me. I belive the Fea is the most dangerous player here.

Shelob- Looking at group of people you find suspicious and you just happen to pick the same as Fea.

Thinlomien- The only reason you're down here is because you bothered to explain yourself. However, the series of votes- 3 (the number of wolves) in a row cats you in with them. And Eomers reasoning unsound because he voted for you?

Valier- If you agree with my statement, why the random vote?

Edit: I'm switching Valier and Thinlomien for the time being.

I had no inclination to start a band-wagon with my goofy and pointless vote. I want no part in band-wagons. In all of my manicurial experience, they do little or no good.

You flatter me. I'm already managing it. You see, I'm the Seer. No wait, I'm a wolf. Kiss me, I'm Irish. See?

It's day one. There's nothing to go on except random accusations.

Anguirel, you're a werewolf.

While I may not be an Ordo (I'll leave that to you to decide) and I may be the most dangerous player, the roles are not selected due to moderatorial whim. With the exception of the phantom's village, roles are chosen at random. Reservations are unheard of. Or at least highly ignored.

Also, important question from someone too lazy to look, what time does the Day end?

Nothing to go on? Not a Sudoku player I see.

People have already begun to form relationships, develop patterns of behavior, and develop tactics. Sure, no one has yet shown their "true colors," but we have a little more than random accusations.

Which is it? A goofy and pointless vote, or a result of experience in wolf behavior?

Actually, I like Sudoku, though I haven't played since break.

So have you found my pattern of behavior? Do you recognize my tactics? Have I developed a relationship? What color am I?

Quote:

It was a goofy vote and I wasn't particularly thrilled to see it joined so fast by multiple others.

My experience with wolves is that they like to frame people. Duh. It's obvious. I'd like not to have any part in a death that I'm not sure of.

That's why I've decided on my vote for the day.

++FEA

You'll note that I'm not intentionally starting a band-wagon (I'd prefer to stay alive, thank you), nor am I voting against somebody that could be the Seer. I just don't know enough to make an informed decision yet.

I am quite certain that our beloved Ambie is a wolf and that if I am not lynched tonight or killed by the werewolves, she wil be my next target. I stand by my original vote. however. Retractable or not.

No need to get snippy Fea. And yes, you are forming a pattern of behavior. It's rudimentary, but it's there. Such as, appear all nice and friendly and easy going, then turn into a veritable pit bull when accused. That's a behavior pattern.

I believe it is nearing time to cast votes. As I'm not sure exactly when the day ends, I think I'll cast mine now.

++Shelob

Surprised? Don't be. While I trust Fea about as far as I can throw her, I admit that I have more to go on with Shelob, as little as that may be. I don't make blind guesses. As an apothecary, I can't afford to.

I haven't the foggiest of when the day ends, dear Fea, but since I do not I'll blather on what I have noticed and how I feel about it.

Garin's snappy suggestion does strike me as strange, but then again he might just be aggressively after a wolf-- or what appeared wolfish. It does seem odd that so suddenly this decision was made and so wildly... but praytell where has he been to defend himself all this time? Surely a wolf would be wary of eliminated. His latest post sounds like a threat, though... I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Somehow I doubt he'll soon throw us a bone, unless, of course, it is Ambercombie's.

Eomer is being ousted "by tradition"? If its tradition to oust Eomer, I'm sure the mods wouldn't have picked him as a wolf. The game would be more gripping with a greater enduring group, no? He may be a vetern and playful about the whole wolf being in the village "thing", but he complimented my alliteration, and therefore he is special and -so- not a wolf. So ha.

Since this is getting wordy, I'll cut it short. Eonwe has my attention. Both in tactics and word choice I feel there might be something more than she leads on.

++ Eonwe

You know, Roa, I don't weigh much.

However, if it will calm your suspicions, I'll stop addressing people's suspicion of me.

I am innocent. Heck, I might even be useful, if you want to listen to me once I know what's what.

There, now I've said it, I'll abstain from now on unless need drives me.
