It appears that I have to vote of suffer the consequence. (According to the prophet of the mod god, those caught not voting are summarily killed off, right?)

Right, that means I have to vote now.

Therefore, I will vote for

++Valier

because she was the last one to post before me...

Sorry.

EDIT: Gurthang, you are a luck hombre...

Right, hello, what? Am I being accused of being in a wolvish plot with Farael, in which we killed Ang fully knowing that it would bring suspicion upon me because of a single joking comment he made, very likely because I was one of the few that had posted when he arrived, which we thought might signify that he was one of the Seers?

Or am I not? There seem to be two conflicting views here, and both seem to have been equally supported by Farael toDay. I would hope never to be associated with such a flip-flopper.

My vote for Eomer yesterDay came before lmp's.

Ok defence over with unless anyone has other questions they want answering. I'll be lurking for a bit re-reading everything properly.

Eonwe, seriously! Don't you like, I don't know, suspect anyone? I think there have been lots of ideas and theories flying around toDay and yet you vote for Valier because she posted before you...

I won't vote for you again toDay because to me there are better lynching candidates, too, but you're not being very helpful, if I may say that.

Hear, hear!


I'd like to hear something from Naria, who hasn't spoken yet, I believe.

Hmmm, I don't like Eonwe's vote. He posted hours ago and would appear to have read at least some of the discussion; doesn't he have any suspicions?

Of course, I understand it must be difficult when you're the first person to vote... Still, by the second Day, vote with at least some reasoning behind it! It makes it too easy on the werewolves if we allow people to cop out by saying "it was just random".

My dear old harp-plucker. In post 162, you said I was odd and promised to tell why later. Then in post 176, you said I was very suspicious and you'd explain why later. I was getting all excited!
But this, I agree with.

...so I bear you no ill will. It's all early days and everyone is clutching at straws. I know I am.

I need to vote in a couple of hours, I hope I can get some time to read through everything...I have to go by the theory that Ang said something of significance, because that's the only theory we have right now to narrow down the list of suspects.

Shield This might not be worth your time reading.

Lalaith, I have done you a disservice. I promise you that something in your posts felt a bit worrying to me earlier today; but I have nothing of much substance to back it up.

So you're not 'extremely wolvish' anymore.

Think of the votes yesterday. Anguirel got some, so did Eomer and LMP and Glirdan and TGWBS plus.....? Don't know off the top of my head.

But...

Either all the votes were wrong, or more than one was right. Right? So maybe Glirdan and LMP and TGWBS and Eomer are the 4 wolves and they had to pick one of their Seer candidates who voted for one of them (Anguirel voted for Glirdan)...

...or...

...no-one cast a vote for a wolf, and the wolves guessed that Anguirel was a Seer based on his defence of Garin.

In which case (perhaps) the people who voted in a certain way are completely off. Some people are convinced by others' arguments; but supposed random votes or votes based on very loose reasoning may tell us more. I'm not talking about obviously random votes or that kind of stuff.

But votes like 'So-and-so feels a bit strange to me. Can't explain'

If these picked out a wolf, then the wolves would kill whoever cast the vote.

EXAMPLE: I voted for LMP pretty randomly, but I worded it in such a way that everyone thought there was something sinister or clever about it. If LMP were a wolf then he might have wanted to kill me for it. But I'm still here.

Total speculation. But I think that, out of the people who garnered votes yesterday, either none is a wolf, or more than one is.

That would be (still surviving) LMP, TGWBS, Eomer, Glirdan and.....? Who've I missed? I'll edit with the answer.

Farael and Lalaith also got votes. If I ever need to remind myself why that's important then I'll figure it out. Ooh, Cailín votes for Lalaith. I'll keep that in mind seeing how I mentioned their behaviour earlier today. Wolf-on-wolf early vote? You just never know.

Anyway, it would be utter madness for the Lovers to hint. What could they possibly benefit? And LMP, my alleged strong defence of Lhuna (entirely because she's my little sister) was somewhat balanced by my suggestion that probability dictates that she will be a wolf one of these days. I also put her on my suspicion list today.

Listen to the wise words of Spawn, she knows all about set-ups and how those who design them get what's coming to them in the end.
