Oh volo - I am definietely not in the market of lynching a flitter today - just pointing out that there are levels of IC ... and as time goes on it may be that we have to weigh RL and habit against the possibility / statistical probablility that if we have 4 or 5 people who post just enough to stay in the game, that a wolf may be in their number - the devil will be in deciding which.... and of course it will be necessary in this game for a low posting wolf to make the effort to at least register their presence since the mod not the players will dispose of them.

Legate I might well vote for..... btu I worry that suspecting him is a not entirely unjustified habit.... but as Brinniel say it might be throw away ... and indeed wrong....

So little time, so much confusion, such a great fear that it is an innocents tear each other apart day..... shall we try to avoid a double lynch at least? I can only see that that would help the wolves ...

And volo - if you do have som knowledge can you be less oblique?

Or is this some wolftrick?

My mirror is very cloudy

++Legate of Amon Lanc

Well although Volo's role could have been a trick, I don't think he'd think of it himself. Also remember the narration (the book and the lines in it). The shame is, that it was revealed - surely more fun could've been brought with it. Any downside of revealing, Volo? But let's keep this off - with deadline about 2 hours earlier than I am used to, I now realized in shock after SpM's and Mith's post that it's upon us! Hey, we HAVE TO AVOID DOUBLE-LYNCH AT ALL COSTS!!! While I know with the remaining votes my vote might lead to it, I'm still keeping one vote for retraction. Let's hope no one else does it!

PLEASE CHECK YOU DON'T CROSS-VOTE WITH ANYONE, BECAUSE THEN WE CAN HAVE DOUBLE-LYNCH VERY NICELY.

++Anguirel

for what I said earlier.

Ad Six: I believe him innocent, because he didn't do anything that could be wolfish apart of that he started bandwaggon for Ang.

Evidently this is going to be a pretty close run thing, especially with Saruman helpfully chipping in over there...I don't think there's much point in doing anything other than this:

--VOLO, ++SIXTH WIZARD

Very undignified to have to stoop to scrabbling for my skin, but...

Thumbs up

OK Volo, I'll buy your explanation, for now at least. Although, with a greater likelihood of an innocent being lynched than a Wolf on Day 1, it might have been better for you not to have revealed your role and run the risk of being non-lynched. After all, the main advantage of your role would appear to be that the Wolves might have wasted a kill on you.

I would rather go for Legate than for Sixth or Ang, though voting for Legate at this point would indeed be throw away. Sixth is more suspicious than Ang, of whom I can't say anything.

++Legate

I'll change to Sixth if necessary.

edit: xed since Legate

I suspect those two more than Legate, but seeing that Sixth will be lynched more surely than Ang I'll vote him.

I declare myself willing to vote for Legate, if necessary, given that he looks far more suspicious to me than Ang.

Crossed with Volo's retraction and vote - I'll leave my vote with Sixer for now.

I guess it's obvious that Six is toast now, but I daresay that you made a mistake, and if not, I'm going to eat my own Orc-food...

Okay, now people are starting to vote Legate...

What to do...

Well, since this won't be a throw-away vote anymore, I will after all vote:

++Legate

Hopefully, this won't turn into a double lynch toDay...

EDIT: X-ed with Volo on...

15 vote out of a possible 19 is not great .. but better than most general elections....
