*OOC - Just a quick check in before I head off to school. PS: I may not be able to vote again toDay as I won't be back until about an hour before closing time and it's more then likely that the computer will be taken.

Glirdan, makes me uneasy. Basically, Glirdan, Wil, and Sleepy all had related Avatars. I'm trying to ignore this, but it is difficult.(Garin)
*OCC2-Well, I'm glad that you're trying to ignore this because you can't base anything on our avvies which are for another game. Go with the evidence that is found in the game, not with the Avvie's and locations and sigs. They mean nothing.

Wilwa, I am not casting suspicion on you because of your vote (which was made rather late but is completely understandable[for me anyway as I have the same problems you do]). I'm casting suspicion on you because Nogrod got one right in his post #43. Now, I have admitted earlier that it could have been sheer luck, but we can't be to sure of this.

What I want to know is what you mean by this:

I obviously was wrong since I have all the suspicion and not Glirdan.
Please explain yourself Ms. Butterflyofthenumbers.

Now I'm off to tend to my bar. I shall be back (hopefully) in six hours.

I assume at least one of the fellow werecats voted Sleepy to exonerate her/himself. I believe Farael is innocent, because he cast the second vote for Sleepy; the one that makes the difference between a single vote and a bandwagon. A risk-taking werecat may cast the first vote for his/her fellow werecat, but to cast the second or the third vote is a bit too risky move for a werecat, or so I think.

The main question today seems (reasonably) to be why was Nogrod killed. He did get something right. His analysis on Valier's clues found out that Sleepy was a cat. Surely reason enough to the wolves to kill him, whether he pointed his finger on Sleepy accidentally or not. I don't believe Telperaca and Wilwarin so stupid, that they would kill Nogrod if they were cats, as it would straightly point to their guiltiness. The same goes with me, of course, but I don't bother to write my name there as I know I'm innocent.

Wilwa, it seems to me that you are overreating just a bit, and that is, or course, is exactly what I would expect a werecat to do. See I don't think you've had all the suspicion. I for one have voiced some suspion of others. Farael already voted Eonwe, who does appear suspicious to me also. I believe that everybody has voiced suspicion of at least somebody else, so when you say that you have it all it makes me feel that we have a werecat who we've pinned against the wall with Farmer Maggots dog's keeping her at bay and she feels the pressure and heat.

I really wish to hear more from both Alcarillo and Eonwe. They both made a quick post and really didn't say a whole lot. Also Telperca hasn't posted today and only had one the first day. This is irksome because it makes it near impossible to read him/her. I'm certain there are others who haven't posted today but I am unable to do that cross checking currently.

Thinlómien, I have some questions regarding your last post. You seem to think that at least one werecat did a cat-on-cat vote, yet you fall short of naming any names. Please share with us those thoughts. I think you may have some valid points, however I would like to know more openly what you think.

Ummm, how is it that you are a known innocent? I don't believe that anybody is at this point?

I didn't claim to be known innocent! I said I know that I'm innocent. I didn't say that you other people know that too.

Why I didn't name any names was because I had no specific suspect. I'm not especially suspicious of Garin since he started voting Sleepy. Other people had voiced suspicions of him (Sleepy) before so Garin must have known that he may cause a bandwagon when taking the first step to really accuse Sleepy. I still don't close out the possibility of an extremely bold wolf.

So my finger points to Kitanna, Kath and Wilwarin. However, I don't suspect Wilwa as much as I do the k-ladies; by casting the last, kind of meaningless bandwagon-vote and appearing in Nogrod's list would have made her look bad enough without Nogrod's death. I don't believe that she would have dared to kill Nogrod as a werecat.

So based on cat-on-cat strategy my main suspects are Kitanna and Kath. However, concentrating on cat-on-cat issue makes us overlook half of the village and half of the possible werecats. So I won't nominate the k-ladies as my main suspects. I have to read through other people's posts as well.

Hello, sorry I'm so late. Just managed to get back from research (Read: I've been in bed almost constantly. I hate being sick.)

Reviewing the posts- sacrificing a fellow wolf/cat on day one is a bold but useful strategy. I've seen it work out well before. I doubt that both of the remaining cats voted for Sleepy, but I'm sure at least one did.

As for the cause of Nogrod's death- what wolf/cat in their right mind would kill someone already suspicious of them? That's like drawing a big red arrow over your head and saying "Lynch me!" They may have been getting revenge for Sleepy's death, or they may have been trying to divert attention onto Thin, Teleperca, and Wilwa. I don't rule put that our oponents are foolish, but I think's it's better to assume they aren't.

I agree. In a game of ww you should never underestimate your enemy.

It seems I can never win, I cast the first vote for a known feline and stick to that vote and people still have the nerve to cast me in a negative light.

I can say the only reason the werecats let me live to see the next day instead of poor Nogrod is because they thought the village would be idiotic enough to lynch me.

'Cause, I'm so lynchable.

Keep talking Thinlómien. Please.

And Diamond I find you suspicious... well, just because.
I'm sorry, you deserve a better answer. You will discover that I tend to go on instinct rather than the making enormous lists. I didn't vote for you and probably will not.

I like to flush out comments by mentioning names.
