Morm's reaction in his post #889 for Zali's vote for him made me a bit uneasy. I have to go in a minute, so I can't explain that now and therefore I won't vote for him toDay.

As to Lalaith, I find myself agreeing with her on many things. I found her quite suspicious a while ago, but since then the suspicions calmed down, and she speaks much sense. One thing that makes me wonder if she's innocent after all is indeed Roa's analysis, but it might go either way.

That certainly changes things a bit. I wouldn't think that it's a clue, though. There may be silent players on both Good and Bad side. Still, due to the new rule, I shall vote for

++Glirdan

because I find silent players who post mostly in character and don't share their own thoughts suspicious.

Good Night!

Voting update

Zali for Morm (Morm 1)
Kitanna for Oddwen (Morm 1, Oddwen 1)
Lalaith for Jenny (Morm 1, Oddwen 1, Jenny 1)
Sleepy for Jenny (Morm 1, Oddwen 1, Jenny 2)
Diamond for Lalaith (Morm 1, Oddwen 1, Jenny 2, Lalaith 1)
Eomer for Sleepy (Morm 1, Oddwen 1, Jenny 2, Lalaith 1, Sleepy 1)
Spawn for Glirdan (Morm 1, Oddwen 1, Jenny 2, Lalaith 1, Sleepy 1, Glirdan 1)

*sigh* this is one of those odd days where I really don't know for whom to vote. I have some mild suspicions but nothing concrete. Out of those who have votes Glirdan and Sleepy look guilty and Oddwen to an extent. I'm still not convinced of Diamond's innocence nor of her guilt.

Anyway, I was referring to this:

Quote:
Please explain Eomer, apparently my brain is not with it.
I hadn't had tea at that point, after a day of hard revision ( ) I need sustenance!

Oh dear, voting time is fast approaching, and I really don't know what I should do. I don't like this Jenny bandwagon, especially since the votes that began it weren't really explained, or explained at all in Sleepy's case.

I can see the point in trying to get rid of those who will be silent over the next few Days, but it's a galling thought that we should waste what little time we have lynching those liable to be innocent but unable to defend themselves.

I think that my vote will probably go to Sleepy. That vote for Jenny was just too, well, random. There seemed to be no thought behind it, no reasoning other than 'it's obvious Roa would have picked her'. Well why is it obvious? There are plenty of people here who know Roa, it isn't a good enough reason.

Whoops, getting cross again. I'm going to make sure I'm seeing this through clear eyes by doing a quick analysis of Sleepy so I know this isn't all down to one vote. I'll be around and back by the deadline.

++ZALI

Because:
  1. She was suspected of evilness enough by the populace to have been on GW's death list two days running (lists which, combined, have played host to at least three Evils).
  2. She made it onto my final six also.
  3. She was the first voter today (I'm not sure why that bothers me so much, but perhaps because it "vindicates" her from jumping onto a bandwagon).

I've just had a nagging feeling about him and I think he's likely to be one of our early wolves. I imagine Roa chose him knowing that he would post very little and therefore avoid suspicion whcih has worked far too well.

Well, this is certainly going to go down hill for me...like my ancestor from a previous village. Oh well. Not much I can really say in my defense, but it won't hurt to try.

I realise I haven't been posting substantially and up to ususal standards, but that is hardly my fault as I do have that drated time zone illness. However, after my return tomorrow (if I live that far ), I will try and aid the village as much as possible.

Now there was something said earlier about me not giving thoughts of my own. Well, here's one. What of Eomer? When I consulted my books of lore, they revealed to me that Eomer is a rather kiniving and sneaky Wolf and he normally never lives past Day 1. Just that really makes me uneasy. And now he goes and says, and I quote:

Quote:
Does no-one else think that this could be a huge hint? i.e. Azaelia and/or Glirdan is furry and fanged?
Could this be away of his to get rid of two other probable innocents? I don't know, but something about that makes me really uneasy.

Gah! I have ten minutes before I have to vote... I'm leaning towards voting Eomer simply because of that little comment (like I said, it makes me uneasy) or possibly my father because he had a rather poor excuse for his vote. Gah!! I'll be back in a minute with my decision.

Sleepy:

Day 1:
No posts.

Day 2:
Explain absence on Day 1 was due to illness.
Makes joke about going to see the wizard – perhaps more than a joke?
In character nonsense.

Defends Roa against Fea over her support of Loki – interesting, using history with Roa to support the idea, but mostly defending her by saying Fea should not be trusted just anyway.
Voted Fea.

Day 3:
Again apologises for not being active.
Votes Fea – practically no reasoning, ‘possibly for the previous day’. Possibly? He just turned up and voted. No thought.

Day 4:
Apologises in advance for what will seem an insane or wrong choice – and people pick up on Zali’s apologising but not this?
Votes Roa – claims to know she is evil, could be just in character nonsense, could be the truth.

That's as far as I had time to get. I forgot how many pages this thing was

Anyway, what with the complete lack of even an attempt at valid reasons for votes plus a disastrous attendance record:

++SLEEPY

I have come to a decision.

++Sleepy

His vote just seems...odd and not having a proper explanation seems all the more suspicious. Also, he hasn't been overly vocal like he normally is which isn't at all like him if I look back on his ancestory. Could he have been told by my mother to stay quiet?

Anyway, I'm off. I shall see you (hopefully) in two Days time.
