Hmm. After all of the reading and attempted thinking, I'm not really any closer to definite suspicions than I was at the beginning. I wish I had time for more thorough reasoning... call this a hunch, but I do have a vaguely bad feeling about Cailín - partly for this directed at Di:

What a bizarre reason for a vote.

Sorry, that post looks stupid because it's missing my original quotation.

The argument between you and Aganzir, however, looks very, very sinister to me. The last posts of you two confirm that to me. One of you two is evil... but who??

I think this quote by the phantom quite much summarises the Day. Phantom and Roa are quarreling, as are Lommy and Agan. I don't like the way personal arguements between pairs are drawing the village's (erm... I mean, at least my) attention. I must confess I still haven't got a clue of this game. I haven't been quite able to read anyone, nor do I have the time to do so now.

I'll try my best, anyway.

Izzy, McCaber, Celuien, Lalaith, morm: under the radar

Kath, Brinn, Rikae, Durelin: innocentish

the phantom: either frustrated ordo, wolf or EW (at the moment I'm most inclined to think the first..)

Roa: innocent?

Lommy, Cailín, Di, Sally: can't say.

Gwath: looming between suspicious and harmless.

Shasta: contributing more than usual, innocentish

Agan: I guess she, too, is but a little frustrated ordo, but I wouldn't be surprised to find her a wolf or even the EW..

Mac, Legate: I don't know what to make of either of these guys, either... Both could be just anything.

My apologies for the ones I forgot as there's bound to be those... I don't yet know who to vote but I have to do it very very soon because Lommy still feels the need to post.. Aieee! I think my toDay's vote will go to either some inactive submarine (McCaber, Izzie or morm?) or to someone whose death might reveal something (tp?).


EDIT: x-ed since Agan

Read my points about Lommy! She is a wolf.

Lommy is freakin' me out. Okay, so is Aganzir, but Agan seems genuinely frustrated and not worried about showing it anymore, which makes me feel a little better about her. Of course, she has been getting much more pressure than Lommy...which I don't really understand, actually. Mostly it's been because of Lommy - she certainly started it all.

I agree with you here. Looking over the posts leading up to her vote for you, she says this:

She's practically begging for others to go for Aganzir. And then there's the "she'd sell her soul to be the EW." Another toss in to make people worried.

And then seems to vote once it looks like Brinn and Volo are with her, and after Legate says this:

Lommy's good. Of course I don't doubt Aganzir's skills, either. Which is partly why Lommy feels worse.

Edit: Crossed with a lot.

Edit: #2 Really a lot.

We do still have almost an hour, right? Geez, people posting like we're down to the wire already...

Ah, so that! Well, how inventive I thought you had something more special in mind. Of course then. All right.

Although this issue concerns me, I don't see it the way you do; I see the way you put it somewhat flawed. He was actually doing the opposite, or that was the outcome: he thanked me, but quite rudely attacked me after that - or that was my feeling. So not the effect you describe, quite the opposite, if I'm to speak for myself.
The fact that I took it rather in the offensive way does not mean he did not mean it the way you say, however, I think it's actually not like that and that he really did NOT mean it the way you say.

So morm, Agan, and Legate are probably innocent. (Or they are controlled by a very bold EW--or perhaps even one of them is! But I'll stick with what I said first.)
Do you think it would be so easy? Well, it may have something to it, but I won't put it as clear way as you do. "Inclined not to do so", the EW will be, but then, even if some of the Wolves were one of those named, he would not need to care that much. Although I appreciate the idea going this way, it's not bulletproof.

I was a protector, and unfortunately a very obvious one not only to wolves, but others spotted as well.
Now, in the fellowship-setup, yes I was a very bad wizard, but I felt like mother theresa all the same and to everyone else (except maybe Nogrod).
Oh, okay then. Because A) my LAST game (and you said last) was really the Fellowship of Saruman, and B) the game with the arena, not only was before the Saruman game, but it was Volo's game. I only wrote two narrations for that - when I was already out of the game. All right, so that's nothing. Let's forget that.

I think she's a much better submarine than McCaber, and he bothers me, too.
Yes, that's actually well said. I had no particular problems with her yesterDay, but the more I think of her, the more I dislike her, for being really such a submarine. It's not much more other than that, but it is somewhat unnerving.

He's odd, he's odd, he's odd. What was that what you replied to someone yesterDay? Was it you, not? Someone said "I will tell you tomorrow" - yes, that was Mr._____ I think - and you said something like "will that be before or after you kill these people?" Or something around these lines. Now look what you do.

For Gwath, it's not that unusual reasoning, I'd say. He may be wrong (or may not), but I don't think this way of thinking is too odd for him. But, I wonder if you are not a little too jumpy for that? Isn't it that you are building up something here..?

Good, I was just about to worry what's up since she's quiet - that will be veeery unusual and it really started to make me wonder...

Hey hey! A moment, here. I am not telling her to vote the phantom. She voted him, and I, IN-ROLE (as her boyfriend and phantom's business partner!) said that I won't hold grudge against her if she votes (i.e. that I am not going to break up with her because of that. She technically asked that herself). So don't mix it with the game! I think that was clear enough that it was in-character.

As soon as I have time, I'm gonna read what it was and help you out, if possible. Noting down on my schedule, after I finish this reading.

You are right, it does not. Could you please elaborate a little when you are back?!?!!?

(As you can see, aside from exclamation marks, I can use question marks, too.)

X'd with Cailin and Aganzir.
Like I said, Izzy does nothing and then out of the blue posts things like this (which are also nothing, but with accusing edge to it as a bonus). (And what more, the number of people she X-ed with only proves that she is around, only is not posting... which, in this village, is in certain aspect a virtue, right, but then - one would expect you to post at least something more concrete when you have so much time on your hands...)

You're welcome.


I see this was shorter than usual. (Or was it...)

***
I really don't know whom to vote. There's too much people. And lots of them can be both ways, if you get my meaning.

I more or less like Nilp. I feel also somewhat good about Durelin, whom I think would have been more chaotic and more evil than she looks now. Isabell does very little to actually involve into things, even to those which concern her.
I can't help it: Aganzir makes sense. I really think she IS innocent. Well, maybe.
And I like Lommy. Otherwise, Lhuna seems odd. Roa and Mr._____ are too much for me to see into. I keep mistaking Cailín for Celuien, but I know I am somewhat worried about Cailín (she's the one with the sand-sea looking avvie, and not the frog, right). The third of them is Di - also somewhat worried, but I can't put my finger on it, would have to look at her more deeply. I simply believe I did not play with these three a lot, I think not with all and only for short times, so don't have much idea about them, but I can't think well of at least one of them being a baddie. Then there are some I omitted now, but whom I mentioned already before; with them it stays more or less the way I said before.

Otherwise, we shal see.

EDIT: Darn it, x-ed since some bottom of the previous page...
