I'm innocent.

And on that note, Fea lied. There aren't any WWs. We're just killing each other for no reason. The lesson being that government and politics destroys people and drives wedges between them.

And make me a sandwich please. With extra BBQ sauce. Thanks.

Nerwen: Why do you quote all those posts by Boromir without adding a comment to them, it would be much more helpful just linking to the posts you refer to in your last post. This way jut take up a lot of space and with such a build up I was quite surprised how little analysing there was done.
Anyways I am impressed with the lengths you go in order to make up your mind about a sertain link, I could never make my self do that.

[FONT=&quot]So are you an extremely helpful individual or are you just engaging in massive surveys to appear innocent, I must admit that I am slightly suspicious of you. Anyways that matters not as I have little power in this village, a fact that has me much disheartened.

--------------------------------------------
I see that Aganzir has posted while I was writting.

I actually thought that we had moved beyond this subject, but if you insist. . .

I don't know what you mean by a "good" case, but of course if one never says anything else than "this person is suspicous" then you are little threat. I just want to point out that we where on day 1, there was plenty of time for McCabber to come good and on day 1 extensive cases are clearly overkill and seldom better than a gut feeling.

You are not a threat to the wolves if you convince people about your case and you are wrong. . .and now we have returned to an earlier stage of this discusion: Are more experienced players better at catching wolves.

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt it coming from Fea. Sometimes I think she would rather toy with us than play with us.

Sorry I'm going to be absent for a bit today...my team is playing in a couple of hours and I'm going to watch the game at somebody's house and do a few errands today. I should be back before the voting time but may cast my vote sooner. Nothing has swayed me not to vote Nerwen.

I'm here finally.

And I'm both baffled and flattered to have become a rep and an influential one too...

...too bad this village is confusing me.

Making a throwaway vote is making a statement and making a track, and also fulfilling one's duty.

Not all suspicions can be answered logically. If I say I have a bad gut-feeling about you, what can you really say?

Or let me put it this way, you're around a lot, giving lots and lots of information but you're holding back a bit. Thus, you're "behind the scenes," you know...doing all the prep work.
Yes, that's more or less what I meant. Thanks for rephrasing it for Mr Fandom.

And since it has become an issue, I'll clarify something for you, tp and Boro - I don't think you would have primarily picked McCaber just to be sporty, unlike Nog or I could have done. I know you both have a sort of different approach. BUT I think you could have taken the approach I suggested too, in certain conditions. Like, for example, if you were feeling the game was going very well for you.

I think Ilya's defenses of herself have been relatively innocent toDay. She sounds far more genuine than yesterDay.

I have absolutely no idea what to think of Noggie. He seems paranoid.

Hey, Shasta, was that just a banterish comment, or do you really want me to go through them and quote them for you?

Confusion, yes, or maybe mis-statement would make a good word for it?

...Oh, and I'll see if I can't manage to lynch a wolf while I'm about it.
Thank you.
I'm more and more convinced power drives people crazy in this village...

At this point of the game, my mind is full of horrible ideas, like tp, Boro and Nog being wolves together, or like said before, there being no wolves at all. But like I said already earlier, I'm going to be disappointed if that's the case...

PS. It's me, Nog and Greenie sharing a computer tonight...


edit: xed with everything on this pages and with Ilya's post on the previous one...
