With my inability to properly resolve the story I'm trying to write by deadline, I can't say I won't join you.

I fully intend to write poetry for tonight's narration. Fiction just ain't happening right now.

So give me something fun to poeticise pretty please, village.

Yeah - I'm sure I want another cup soon. And everybody else talking about tea doesn't help.

Despite going with Boro and such, I think you've been more independent than many new players are. I've seen many newbies pick some player whose opinions they trust almost blindly throughout the whole game, which you don't at least seem to do.

Ooh thanks Mith, you're precious!

Now back to Nerwen.
I never get my analyses done because I become bored and refresh the thread every now and again.

I could have easily amused both of you with a grand filibuster by now if I wasn't limitted to one. I need to use it to stop a known innocent from dying or to send a wolf to the gallows.

I was this close to using mine yesterday, and I would have if not for two things.

Was one of your reasons because you're wolf buddy Eonwe may be getting into trouble, but since we swayed towards Legate you felt no need to?

Edit: Wow, I post and here come 2 gigantanormous posts plus one of Lommy's

What, do they rub it in? Too bad. I wish people would be more respectful about that sort of thing.

Very briefly, I feel rather good about Aganzir. The way she's responding to arguments as well as more light-hearted comments... seems very innocent to me. But most convincing to me is the way she worded and handled our old joke about her being a WW and me helping her win as an Ordo. She's either innocent or gave perfect innocent reactions.

I think I trust her more than Boro even at this point.

Eonwe's last post didn't sit well with me. What was all that work for?

And it's good to see my Rep giving opinions! Good thoughts Kath.

EDIT: x-post entire page

I am here and I must admit I have little idea who to vote. (See, here's your three-vote representative. But hey, actually, feel free to lobby. I'm going to sleep sometime soonish, but not yet in a while.)

I could consider voting
Aganzir
Eönwë
Gil-Galad
Gwathagor
Ilya
mormegil
Nogrod
Sally
Shasta
The Ka
the phantom


I wouldn't vote (yet)
Boro
Brinniel
Greenie
Kath
Nerwen
Rune


My problem is that the three I suspect the most right now are the phantom, morm and Nogrod. And although I have kind of got rid of the way of thinking that you need exceptionally good reasons to lynch a veteran loudmouth ( ) it would feel silly to lynch one after that was already done with not-so-spectacular results yesterDay. Or actually, I think it's just that I think I suspect them simply because they have caught my attention by making such a show by being loud and aggressive.

I'm leaning to give Ilya the benefit of doubt for now, and maybe Aganzir also. For some reason, I feel a little reluctant to lynch Shasta too even though he has failed to convince me of his innocence.

So maybe I'll vote sally, Eönwë, Gil or Gwath semi-randomly. But somehow it doesn't sound too good either. I would otherwise seriously consider Ka, but I wonder if she'd vote me for a rep after I had listed her in my suspicious category if she was a wolf...


edit: xed with Eönwë, Kath and Shasta

I didn't really care if Brinn is innocent or not, although I do feel quite good about her right now. And if she's a wolf, her behaviour and interaction with others will hopefully reveal something after her death, so it doesn't even matter that much if a wolf got to be a rep on day 1.

Yes.

I am again in a situation where I don't really know who to vote. Right now I wouldn't feel comfortable with voting either Ilya or Nerwen. Nog strikes me as a possible candidate but I haven't had time to go through his posts and since it takes me over an hour even with people who have posted less, I won't do it at least now.

I wonder if I should take another look at Eönwë again. I agree with phantom that his post was weird.

edit: xed with Fea, Kath & Boro

Gah! Yes, I know. I suck.


*waves hands in the air* I'm here! I'm here!



Okay, madcap last couple days. (Sorry about not stopping by to vote for a rep, but by the time I'd gotten back from work and had everything sorted it was deadline or after. For the record, I was going to vote for Agan or....Boro, if my memory serves me properly. Hey, I guess I got represented pretty well after all!) Anyway, hopefully my participation will even back out again. And by even out I mean....you know....exist. Bah, I feel like such a slacker.


I just got home, so I'm going to plug in my computer and see if I can't get some thoughts posted before the deadline. If I don't make it back, rest assured that I'll have lots to say toMorrow.

Free tip: you get your judgement 100% correct if you read yesterDay's lynch narration...

Oops - good point Lommy. That's how behind I am at the moment - I haven't actually got as far as yesterDay's narration which is really bad, technically I didn't even know I was alive to post!
