Even Nog didn't vote and he's usually one of the keenest to be around at the deadline. Have we heard anything from Shasta and Izzy at all? I would like to hear from those who didn't vote yesterDay, whether it was due to RL busyness or something else it would be good to know at least.

I'm on my way to bed so I won't post much now but right now I'm liking the look of sally. She is actually being helpful I think rather than talking a lot and trying to look helpful.

I'll be back in the morning (RL) with some more thoughts.
....So I'm alone again?


Fabulous.

I think Shasta's internet's been funny the last couple days, but I don't know about the rest. I just wish people would talk.

Hey guys.

I'd have posted this in the admin thread, but then I thought "Hey, it's Day, technically I'm still alive, so I'm allowed."

Anyway, the long and short of the deal is that internet at my house is extremely sporadic right now (I get, perhaps, five minutes a day if that) and it will continue until we get someone out here to fix it (which will be Monday at the very earliest). So, here's the thing. I realize I haven't been participating. If you think I should bow out and ask Gollum to modkill me, that's cool. If you're fine with me sticking around like Gil sort of did last game, that's fine too. I'm cool with either option.

Tell me what you think (of course, I can't guarantee I'll be able to read it until tomorrow).

I'm sorry I missed yesterDay. I was out skiing.

There isn't a lot of discussion to work with yet toDay, so I'll just do some solo pondering.

I have the same question as Aganzir: why has there only been one kill per night thus far? I can think of only a couple different possibilities. Either the wolves or the werebear might be waiting to let the other party flush out the hunter - this seems more likely to be a werebear tactic, since time is on its side, whereas the wolves really have to kill as much as possible if they are going to win - particularly since there's only two of them. It's also possible that the werebear (I find it very unlikely that BOTH wolves could have forgotten their kill BOTH Nights in a row - at least one of them would surely be around to send in a kill choice to the mod) might have skipped its kills as a misdirection or through neglect. This makes the most sense to me. The bear is probably either someone like Shasta or Isabellkya, who I believe are the low posters so far, or someone trying to make us think it's Shasta or Isabellkya.

If this wasn't helpful to you, sorry. It was helpful to me.

OK, so the traitors have killed Nogrod and Boromir88 thus far, which brings me to an interesting conclusion.

We have somebody who knows which innocents are troublesome and which aren't. Someone intelligent and experienced is probably working against us, driving us into confusion by hitting our best and brightest.

With this information, I find Kath to be the most capable of carrying this sort of plan out. She's been around many werewolf-plagued villages here and is likely familiar with people's playing styles. I don't have the time for it now, but later toDay I will look through her posts and put up an analysis of her behavior.

What about lynching sally today?

I think it might be worth a try, and even if she's innocent, we can afford it. I got this inexplicable bad feeling about her yesterDay when she started posting, and it just got worse in the Night. The way she was somehow controlling the discussion... A certain determination.

Shasta I'm fine with you playing.

Gwath, it's also possible that they take turns in killing but somehow the kills make me doubt it because it would mean there are three players who are fine with killing the loudmouths at first.

Menel, the killers needn't necessarily be experienced to kill off Boro and Nog. It's enough that they know even a little about everyone as players, which I suppose everyone does.

Is there any particular reason you would want to lynch sally apart from a bad feeling Agan? Because I'm getting pretty much the opposite feel on her so I'd like to know where your suspicion of her has come from.

Menel, I think your argument about someone with experience killing the wolves is a good one but I wonder how you ended up with me as a wolf when people like sally, Agan, Gwath and Shasta are also around and know the players just as well.

And there's also Eönwë who has played with probably all of us, and Bowie who hasn't played but gives the impression of being aware of what kind of players we are. And Izzy but I doubt she'd come to post a kill yet not be here in the day.

Kath it's mostly just a bad feeling about sally, but an exceptionally strong one, and I find it hard to concentrate on anyone else properly as long as sally is alive.

(Ooh by the way, lovely avvie sally. <3)

Okay I try to elaborate.

It's somehow the way sally was so keen on analysing Boro's death, and later also Nog's. Anyone could have done it; 'X would have had this reason to kill him but then again there's also this aspect...'

And her resolution. I know she's one of the few who are being loud but still, it looks weird.

Garr I just don't know. Something in her feels wrong but I can't put my finger on it, just can't.
