Guess I should respond to Fea:

Yes, I've noticed, over the past two days, quite a few people dislike my approach to Mac. I disagree - I like it just fine, and I'm quite comfortable with it. I will most likely use it in the future, so you all are just going to have to get comfortable with it.

Well, since you call it suspicious, I take it you're admitting to being a baddie? And in cahoots with Eomer, too? Very well, then.

I would certainly do those sorts of things myself innocently, at any rate. I guess it comes down to how likely I think someone is to behave as I would.

On another note:
Yes, McCaber, you haven't posted much, and yes, it's strange, under those circumstances, to show up and attack other (less) quiet players. Yes, I think it's a strategy to exempt yourself from suspicion on those grounds. I'm watching you.

EDIT: To clarify, the "sorts of things" I would do innocently are: pot-stirring like Eomer's, and hoping rules discussion might provoke a wolf slip.

I'd like to point out to Brinniel that people have been saying that "Sally's been slightly different than how she usually plays..." for the last four games or so.

Oh, I'm sorry, did that seem forced?

Edit: Brinniel, not Fea. Their avatars are similar.

Vote count, since we don't have one yet:

Greenie: ++Gollum (Gollum 1)
Eomer: ++Kitanna (Gollum 1, Kitanna 1)
Aganzir: ++Fea (Gollum 1, Kitanna 1, Fea 1)
Eönwë: ++Nogrod (Gollum 1, Kitanna 1, Fea 1, Nogrod 1)
Mac: ++Groin (Gollum 1, Kitanna 1, Fea 1, Nogrod 1, Groin 1)
Fea: ++Rikae (Gollum 1, Kitanna 1, Fea 1, Nogrod 1, Groin 1, Rikae 1)

As for me, I'm beginning to think that this village has far too many submarines who, when they do post, post things that don't make much sense, and I'm rather inclined to vote for such a person. Between suspicious and quiet, and suspicious and loud, the latter are more fun to have around and will give us more to judge them by as the game progresses.
I'd put Gollum, Gwath, Groin, Eönwë and McCaber, in that category - far too many - and there's too little to go on. Gollum has been called an "easy target" by Nogrod, but the sort of behavior he's shown looks to me more like an "easy target" in the sense of a newbie baddie than of a newbie ordo. Groin I already addressed - it looks like he's trying to go with the flow and avoid saying anything too unique/bold. Eönwë isn't saying much of substance, but doesn't look necessarily guilty to me at this point (although rather "iffy") - Gwath has said some things that just don't make a lot of sense, and I expect better from him - McCaber may be *too* quiet to be evil.

Hm, it occurs to me that if those gentlemen I listed are too offended at being called "less fun", four of them could vote for me now and lynch me.

Ah well.

Umm...Sally was in the last game. Or the one before that. Or the one before that. In fact, the last game she was in was mine...and she was a cobbler.

To finish my analysis...

Fea: Focuses a lot on the rules and possibilities of the game, and doesn't gvie much input on other players until her vote post. That makes me uncomfortable. I also want to say that her comment yesterDay about the high chances of someone with a role accidentally spilling more info than others know is an excellent point...but it's also something I can imagine an evil Fea doing. I swear she's done something similar as a wolf in another game, I just can't remember exactly...

Greenie: YesterDay she seemed good and consistent. Then following along her posts toDay she started to feel more suspicious. Then I reread her posts and they don't seem very suspicious anymore. However, I don't like her vote for Gollum. Bah, I keep going back and forth...I just can't decide about her.

Eönwë: Has the second most amount of posts, but has very little substance within those posts (and I know I can safely say that when I can read majority of his posts from the post list without actually clicking on the link, they're so short). But then from my experience with playing with Eonwe, this is typical behaviour from him...which makes me think he's more likely innocent. Of course, I've never actually seen him as a baddie, so I don't know if he'd act differently or not.

Eomer: Seems to be consisent and sensible enough. He makes some good points about Kitanna...she can be quite sneaky (I remember once looking through her past games and I don't think she's ever lost as a werewolf).

You may be right, it's just... whenever I see Sally mentioned, it's because she's "playing slightly differently than she usually does." It wasn't a point or anything, it just struck me as amusing.

I'm not certain about who I'm going to vote today. Agan looks better to me today than she did yesterday, going by just the feel of her posts and not the content. Rikae and Brinniel still look innocent to me (now Brinn is going to be even more suspicious of me ). I don't really know what to think about Fea other than that it may be that she has a role we haven't ever seen before, and that that role is neutral in alignment.

I'm leaning towards Eomer at the moment. I don't know what to think about his attack on Kitanna... but now that I've typed this, it seems to me that it could be a display of ordo-ish boredom. Hmm.

I've seen a couple good points on Eonwe's participation (or lack thereof) today, and might be willing to vote him. I could vote McCaber without a qualm just to get a total unknown out of the way, and having never played with Groin or Gollum (as last game... doesn't really count), I don't really have a read on them other than "newbieish". Sally doesn't really ring my alarm bells today. Greenie, on the other hand, does, and as this post is turning out to be a stream-of-consciousness post, I think I may well vote for her. Mac is still a bit strange-looking to me, but between he and Nogrod, I think Mac is the more innocent-looking. Kitanna hasn't done much to ring my alarm, either. So...

Red Zone:
Eomer
Eonwe
McCaber
Greenie


Orange Zone:
Aganzir
Nogrod
Fea


Yellow Zone:
Mac
Groin
Gollum


Green Zone:
Kitanna
Sally


Blue Zone:
Rikae
Brinniel

And the fact that I completely forgot Gwath was playing automatically puts him in the Orange Zone. McCaber's vote just now lifts him up into the Black Zone: it smacks of baddie bandwagon.

I am just having a bad day mixing people up today.

But I'm going to cast my vote now. I've narrowed it down to Eonwe and Eomer.

I'm not a fan of the way Eomer is acting. I'd find it weird if anyone was doing it, but I'm particularly hurt because it's me (kidding). In seriousness though his behavior has me worried. He had one post yesterday which could have been no more than a time problem, however today he had one attack about my first post of the day. It made a bit of sense at first, but after that it was nothing more than personal attacks based on nothing.

Then there's Eonwe, he has talked an awful lot, but hasn't said much that's actually helpful. He was all ready to vote for Rikae and then without her saying anything he decided to give her more time. Rikae suggests Eonwe thought she might be a gifted. But I'm not sure about that. It could be possible he thought that, but I'm wondering what he saw in Rikae's posts from before his post #113.

++ Eonwe

Eomer needs to be watched and I am worried about his behavior today and I want to see what he does tomorrow. I'm worried about Eonwe just as much, but I feel tomorrow will be more of the same from Eonwe (talking lots, being careful not to associate with anyone, maybe even randomly voting).

Well gentlemen, shall we?

On a more serious note, I have no idea what my fellow quiet ones are thinking. I'm considering voting for one of them randomly to see how they react.

Or I could vote Eonwe, who looks something other than innocent. I'm rather torn.

Well, I'm back.

And in addition to that I have no idea who to vote for (unless of course, Rikae ), but I'll try to be back later with a list of suspicions and things.
