You absolutely did - my last nerve. There's only so much balderdash and group-think I can tolerate before I get annoyed.

The feel of the noose settling about one's neck would be enough to make anyone panic, whether wolf or human, but maybe your distress was a bit premature for an innocent human? It's hard to say, and I'm not certain either way. Let the wise confer.

That is a strange thing to say when the noose was around Mac's neck, as far as I can see, and not mine.

I am getting so fed up with this game. I'm really on the verge of quitting - I mean, what's the point? I talk and talk, and everyone ignores me. It doesn't matter how many times I've been right in the past, everyone goes along with some wacky argument someone else comes up with, even though it has no substance to it. When you lynch Macalaure and find him innocent, will you remember what I said? Oh no, I'm just blinded by my emotions; I don't know what I'm talking about. Bah -- I'm sick of it. No one listens to reason, dammit (boy am I glad to know I can get away with saying that here!)

EDIT: X'd with Sally

Aye, let the wise confer. I'll be leaving this place for the night ('tis looking much like a battlefield lately, I might add)

(OOC: I'm sorry if I'm really being too hard on you, Rikae, regardless of the fur and fangs.)

Excuse the double-post.

Now I had been considering the idea that Mac was innocent and being misled by wolf-Rikae, but decided it better not to mention it then and see how things went. Now, though, I think it's best to say it.

I'll excuse myself for now.

As if it would help me as a wolf.
I would just like a little credit once in a while.

Question, Menel.

Why Aganzir? If Rikae and Mac are wolves together, and Mac was about to be executed, why wait for Gwath to vote Aganzir? Why not just vote you or me? We both had one vote at that point. It seems like waiting for another execution-option, when there were at least two readily available, would have been a bit risky, time-wise, if Macwolf's life was on the line and Rikaewolf could have saved him.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Double post, my apologies. I went back to get the full voting record.

Sally -> Shasta (Shasta 1)
Shasta -> Menel (Shasta 1, Menel 1)
Legate -> Sally (Sally 1, Shasta 1, Menel 1)
Aganzir -> Mac (Sally 1, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Mac 1)
Lommy -> Mac (Mac 2, Sally 1, Shasta 1, Menel 1)
Lily -> Gwath (Mac 2, Sally 1, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Gwath 1)
Gwath -> Aganzir (Mac 2, Sally 1, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Gwath 1, Aganzir 1)
Nogrod -> Sally (Mac 2, Sally 2, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Gwath 1, Aganzir 1)
Rikae -> Aganzir (Mac 2, Sally 2, Aganzir 2, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Gwath 1)
Mac -> Aganzir (Aganzir 3, Mac 2, Sally 2, Shasta 1, Menel 1, Gwath 1)

So you see, even more than myself or Menel, it would have been extremely easy for a wolfish Rikae and Mac team to slam votes on Sally and save Mac from the Gallows. Gwath was also a choice.

Say the wolves are Rikae, Mac, and Sally. Mac is close to being executed. Obviously, Rikaewolf and Macwolf are the only ones in position to save Macwolf, since Sallywolf voted early, and votes aren't retractable. So piling votes on Sally is out. Probably not a smart idea, either, to double-vote me, since that would place all three wolfish votes on the same person, leading to suspicion. That leaves Aganzir, Menel, and Gwath. Aganzir was the last of those three to even become a voting option, so why would Rikaewolf and Macwolf wait until the last second to lynch Aganzir when it would have been much safer to do the same thing to Menel or Gwath?

I apologize if my posts seem to be redundant, I just keep finding better and better ways to say what I mean.

Edit: X'd with Sally. *adopts an Okie drawl* Actually, I live in Oklahoma, that's part of the Midwest. Thank y'all frr that home remedy, I maht just trah that.

Gah! Why do I keep checking this thread? It's late! I should be taking a shower and getting to bed!

(By the way, staying up late on the Downs when I should be getting sleep was assigned to Orthanc by me quite a while ago.)

...Oh well. I guess I'm just too interested in the game. As I've said before, Aganzir was on both of their suspicion lists. Voting for anybody but Aganzir or Nerwen would attract suspicion for flip-flopping, as Rikae had said I was innocent, and I don't recall either her or Mac saying much about Gwath. Having two people flip-flop onto the same person would look too wolfish.

OK, I'm really leaving this time! And I'm turning off the computer too!

Quick post, the calm before the storm.

Think on the bright side, love. YesterDay I almost got lynched because I had a high fever. Now THAT would have been another reason to be quite perturbed. Moving on then....expect a double post my friends....probably some silliness too. It is me after all....



edit just to avoid a triple post: Shasta, in the event you have the flu that's been going around (don't know what part of the country you're in, but it's been around the midwest something terrible) drag yourself down to Walmart and buy some Halls Breezers cough drops, a bit of Theraflu, and an expletive ton of Vicks. You'll be feeling back to your old self by Friday. In the event that doesn't work, simply accept my wishes that you feel better.
