Great! Seems at least some posting is gearing up - now I only hope more people appear to post, and now, and not fifteen minutes before the DL...

That's quite connected topic, too, and I would second this now. Actually, I have just skimmed through the earlier Days once again (it's called "cursoric reading"), if there are any particular things which would now bring my attention, especially concerning those who have slipped under my radar this far (i.e. Mith, Gwath, Kath, Di, Gaunt...). From those, I got a complex-ish picture of Gaunt as innocent-looking. Besides that, it's either grey zone (Gwathagor, and also Kath, whom I besides that dislike just because of her style of posting, which I a) can never decipher whether being wolfy or innocent, b) am just annoyed with because the posts appear just once a Day, but they are so long

) or too little to chew (Di), or too chaotic (Mithalwen).

(Actually to be honest, the main feeling that it gave me now is just horrible annoyance with the progress of this game: Nogrod was right, half of the players just stops by to post once a Day and that's it... I mean come on, what kind of a game is this supposed to be...)

EDIT: x-ed since Rune

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-11-2008, 02:10 PM

Hey yes, what, I mean come on, is there nobody posting? It's 30 to DL...

Edit: x-ed with Brinn. Well...

Gollum the Great · 10-11-2008, 02:15 PM

I'll have something here in a minute...

Thinlómien · 10-11-2008, 02:16 PM

I don't really like the current voting situation. I wouldn't like to vote either Rune or Legate, and I obviously won't be voting myself.

edit: xed with Gollum

Thinlómien · 10-11-2008, 02:18 PM

Just to expand on what I just said, I feel we're badly on the wrong track like we've been this far. And now time's running out too... and I don't even know if voting Kath (which is what I feel like doing the most at the moment) is any wiser.

Kath · 10-11-2008, 02:23 PM

Ah I'm so sorry! I've been having such a busy and fantastic time all day that I completely forgot about this!

Quick thoughts, based on it being Nogrod that died, are that either Lommy and or Legate are playing a blinder of a game and bluffing as hard as they can or someone is trying to set one of them up. Really don't know, except that due to me being suspicious of Legate yesterDay the former option strikes me as more likely.

Right I'm going to go and read through toDay and just try to get a few ideas. I'll be back with some thoughts and a vote soon.

Well, I think for most of these people it's due to RL. You know, not everyone has as much time as you do.

But of the quiet ones, I'm mostly worried about Di, Shasta and Gollum who have said so little I can't get any read from them.

From Mith, Kath, Gwath, and Gaunt I've heard enough to get at least some idea. Though I do wonder where Kath and Gaunt are...they didn't say a lot, but enough yesterDay...but toDay they have yet to show up at all...

Brinniel · 10-11-2008, 02:23 PM

Btw, I'm not gonna vote for a quieter player toDay. It's a good idea to keep an eye on them, but I want to actually take some time to examine them toMorrow rather than randomly vote for one of them toDay based on nothing...

EDIT: Oh good, Kath showed up.

Kath · 10-11-2008, 02:34 PM

Hmm, so Legate starts off saying about the possibility that someone is trying to frame him AND Lommy. To be honest I think the Lovers idea is quite unlikely, but I think it possible that a guilty Legate might attach himself to an innocent Lommy in a 'who ... us?' kind of way.

Rune is being very vicious - particularly toward Mith. I wonder though whether he is simply trying to put her under pressure to see what she is.

Lommy, despite her efforts to paint me as a wolf, I think is posting quite innocently. In answer to a couple of her points against me, my Kitanna analysis was done in limited time, hence the confusion with what Nog and Legate said. Also, I think it was quite useful to see why Samwise was lynched, after all I'd missed much of the reasoning behind it so it was very useful to me.

So yeah:

++LEGATE

For the reasons from yesterDay and the fact that what I read of him from toDay made me no less suspicious.

Brinniel · 10-11-2008, 02:35 PM

Four minutes left...

Thinlómien · 10-11-2008, 02:40 PM

++Legate

Just to make sure no one who's late is going to kill me.

*sigh*

I doubt he is a wolf but we may hope the best...

Just now this village just strikes me as silly...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-11-2008, 02:39 PM

Okay...

There seems to be the only option to save myself. Although she wasn't my prime suspect, maybe there is this Rune-theory which could be...

++Lommy

EDIT: x-ed since my last post... hmph...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-11-2008, 02:41 PM

Okay people, as it seems unlikely that Lommy would vote herself, and nobody else is seemingly around, a few last words.

This game is horrible by the performance of the silent players. Some are not even around at all (Shasta). Nog should have been around. And despite what Brinn said about RL time, I also was busy during the week, but I tried to post and I think I did - at least somewhat. This is a game... not a place of empty silence.

EDIT: x-ed with Lommy.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-11-2008, 02:27 PM

Well, tell me about a good voting situation...

Speaking of Shasta, now - has he been around AT ALL since some Day 1?!??

I was thinking about voting Brinniel, now, but this does not seem much like that could be done...

I am no way going to vote Rune, I still hold what I said, I think he is reasonable.

Hmph, whatever the course this village takes, I am quite discomforted...
