Sorry, guys...I freaked, because last time I thought I had time right before the deadline I found out that I didn't...

Rikae · 02-01-2007, 03:34 PM

I would change but I'm out of votes! Somebody...hurry up and vote!

Rikae · 02-01-2007, 03:36 PM

Wait a minute; what's the vote count now? Durelin's safe, Morm dies?

Firefoot · 02-02-2007, 06:43 PM

The first thing that caught my eye was how Rikae jumped on Ang at the get-go. He had posted once, and it seems like a pretty harmless post, and all of a sudden Rikae (and Lalwende, actually) are proposing conspiracy theories between him, Gil, Celuien, and Boro (Interestingly enough, those other three are now dead and innocent...), and she votes for him - which I also don't understand since she also says "I'll be back before the deadline." Which she was, at which point she switched to Volo - which seemed almost like a knee-jerk reaction. She repeated this on Day 2 - vote early, come back and change the vote. In fact, this could have ended badly since she did not have a vote to change when Durelin declared herself. If Rikae was a wolf, this would actually be a clever strategy - no one would be able to blame her for not changing a vote that she wouldn't want to change anyway.

I don't notice anything interesting about Ang until he starts campaigning against Volo. I still think that this post of his was rather logical... except that I don't really think that Volo's posts before Ang's post are all that suspicious - it's the ones that came after. But his accusation wouldn't really look so suspicious if not for the fact that he decided Volo really wasn't that suspicious after all when he started attracting more votes.

Okay, this kind of died as I started looking at posts and not writing anything down.

But one thing I did notice was that while Rikae had been keeping up a pretty steady suspicion for Ang until about 2/3 of the way through yesterDay, Ang hardly mentions her at all, and when he does go through everyone, he's pretty vague about her.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm not trying to force it here. I'm not sure anymore that my suspcions of Ang are founded. Rikae, I'm still not sure about. There's not a lot of concrete evidence; it's mostly gut feeling - and those can be dangerous, both to ignore and to follow.

Durelin is in a very cozy position right now; immune from lynching and most likely protected by a ranger. It was very coincidental, too, the way two gifteds were up for lynching days one and two! I'm inclined to believe Boro, because of the hinting Mith pointed out (although even that could be contrived), but I'm not at all sure Durelin is what she claims to be.

Cozy my butt... There's only one Ranger left. If the other Ranger protected me last Night, which is certainly possible...I have no protection.

You're the only one who is continually arguing the point that I am not the Ranger. The others are willing to assume because they know that there are three wolves out there, and we have to go on something if we're going to have any hopes of surviving.

If you really are a wolf, which I think you are, you're getting bold, aren't you? And you have every reason to...three of you left...we probably are blind to the other two wolves... What do you have to worry about?

I'll save my vote, though. We need to get a Wolf, and a couple chances to change my mind still might come in handy...

Durelin · 02-02-2007, 07:19 PM

I'd like to address just a couple more things real quick:

It's interesting how Rikae was so "omg, we need to save her!" toward me yesterDay after I revealed myself, but now toDay, now that morm is dead and found innocent (likely as she knew), she knows it's safe to attack me and stir up doubt...and whether or not you're very certain at all that I really am the Ranger, you have to realize that she is drawing our attention away from Wolf hunting in general.

Okay...so I'm pretty focused on Rikae, too... I'll go look at everyone else, too, though I'm going to keep assuming Boro's innocent.

Also, I'd like to say I really feel stupid for deciding I should vote mormegil. I'm sorry. But everyone seemed to kinda feel like morm was being overlooked...and I wanted to save myself. Yeah, really bad.

I hate wanting to do that, but I'm Gifted. So I feel like I need to help in any way I can.

It sucks.

Everything that happened in that last hour yesterDay was really rushed - kind of like someone hit a panic button. Mormegil was probably a poor decision that we all got rushed into without any proper analysis or thought. I guess we can't really do anything else but move on.

I kind of feel like I'm totally overlooking Lommy right now. There really aren't that many people left in the village, and it seems like a bad idea to be giving anybody a free ride.

I wish there weren't so many of you on the wrong (

) side of the Atlantic... There aren't enough people around.

Thinlómien · 02-01-2007, 03:37 PM

Don't feel bad, Dury, you did what you had to: you had first reached 3 votes, so you'd have died unless morm got more votes, like he did.

It may still change...

edit: xed
Rikae, I think it's morm 4, Dury 3

Lalwendë · 02-01-2007, 03:36 PM

Morm is on my list. I thought it was time to go with my gut feelings - last time I ignored them I missed the wolf. Firefoot is convincing me, and I trust Durelin too as honest. I am thrown out for the next Day though as I've resorted to my indecisiveness...

...and I missed the Picts.

Durelin · 02-01-2007, 03:37 PM

I think I have 3 and morm has 4...
