::Sigh::

Hmm... Okay, I'm suspicious of everyone. I admit that lynching SpM would be hasty, as an innocent Sauce is an asset to the village. Really, I let my vote stand because no one else seemed to want to lynch him, so I thought he'd probably be safe, and I'm just really pressed for time toDay. Earlier I voiced suspicions of villagers like morm and spawn, who are good at flying under the radar, but I don't have enough of a bad feeling there to vote for any of them, as they fall under the same category as SpM: helpful if innocent.

I don't remember if anyone else has voted this way yet (which makes it all the better, because then I know I'm voting for my own reasons...):

--The Saucepan Man
++Durelin


for random postings without much of substance.

This time I really won't be able to come back before the deadline. I'm sorry I haven't been able to put much thought into this toDay, but things will be back to normal for me by toMorrow.

All right, my decision has been made.

I don't want to vote for Nilp, as the case I have him has absolutely no substance. I also don't want to vote for Mithalwen, who seems genuine aside from her possibly strange vote. I want to give Caranlondien another chance and she will not be online anymore.

So...

--Lhunardawen

++Formendacil


And that is mainly because there are few enough people who are giving me evil vibes right now (which means Caran and I are opposites in this). I know I said that this is how he usually acts on Day 1, but he has this time offered nothing of substance whatsoever and I had hoped he'd make an effort later on.

I hope we all choose wisely. Good night!

Uh, I intended to post a vote tally, but I messed up with something and I don't have time to check where the error is anymore. My vote goes to

++Boromir

who has toDay looked the fairest but felt the foulest. Good Night!

Ah, so the supposed band-wagon-ing gang has begun to turn on me! Alas.

Everyone dislikes Day 1. And the posting patterns on day one are sporadic, with people trying their hand at reasoning, others simply having fun with their roles in the village. And anyone who says anything at all runs the risk of drawing attention to themselves perhaps more than they do on the following days, and by what others have said about Day 1, they seem to agree with this matter (perhaps; this may be an error of judgment on my part).

So, I only have one piece of reasoning for Day 1: a wolf might not want to draw attention to him/herself on the first. And so, I point at the person who, in my opinion, has attracted the least attention to himself: tom bombariffic.

His post is straight to the point. Just as a wolf would not want to draw attention to himself, he does not waste any time with his role. His reasoning is interesting, and he has interesting, but then...a wolf wouldn't risk a 'random' vote, even though he himself said that "there is no real evidence against Boromir." He craftily makes it appear as if he has evidence, but then renounces that he has any at all. Covering all his bases... This is either just smart, or downright conniving.

Crazy reverse psychology, or brilliant tactics? The world may never know. The ninja never tells...

And so, as fashionably as I arrived late, I will now revote in what is seemingly as fashionable a way:

--The Saucepan Man
++tom bombariffic

His lack of posting is lowering team morale.

EDIT: Cross-posted with the last four people... *sighs* Way off target...

To Tom, Spawn, and those others who have commented on my not revealing how retractable vote helps me. Review the post as I explained it. I don't want wolves knowing my mind, then they would be able to use that against you. Because to know what your enemy is thinking or planning will only lead to your own downfall.
The problem with this reasoning is that it isn’t ‘Boromir versus the wolves’, it’s the village as a whole against the wolves. If Boromir is an innocent, then hiding behind this reasoning and not justifying his votes is going to get him lynched, and that is not going to help the village. His perspective struck me as a strange one, as it seems to work against the well being of the village. The issue is not one of trust, The best way for everyone to work towards the safety of the village seems to me to be coming up with viable ideas as to who might be guilty and why. Althrough I am not completely convinced of his guilt, I am going to vote:

++Boromir
