I'm wondering how many caught Nog's Divo comment. And then his joking confirmation to Agan.

You'd think Ordos would be very concerned about gunning for him after that.

The people who would see it and gun for him anyway- the Critics, Walter, and the true Divo.

Oh, I forgot to ask.

TGWBS- when you cast your vote at the end, am I correct in thinking that you did not see Agan's vote until after you posted?

May I ask tp, if I have your plan right. I thought when you questioned about the "decision" on the Divo that you were up to something. At that time, I didn't know, and then your actions at the end and when you specifically asked me about my thoughts about Nogrod, and said you wanted to give Nog a chance of explaining, it became a little clearer. Long story short, did you know that if you were killed we'd lose you in the count, and thus you wanted to get targeted early, since earlier would be better than later in the show?

Edit: crossed with wild man who be short.

Overall, I wanted to be a target. Early or late. But I figured to ensure that I was made a target, I ought to try to be one right out of the gate. Since the whole point of being the Opera Ghost is to die and return, I thought it would be robbing Mith of her fun and me of my purpose if I played anything other than recklessly.

Oh, and the Lover ploy- I had no choice but to be slightly less bold than I wished. After I set out my bait (I said something like "Is anyone here named Christine?" or something like that), Sally was the one who bit on it, and thus became my pretend Lover.

But naturally I was aware that it was possible that Sally was a Critic. And so if I had treated her as if she was for certain my Lover, it would be obvious to the Critics that I was bluffing (if Sally was one of them, that is). So to take care of that possibility, I hinted to Fea that what she had spotted was at least half right. In other words, I was certainly a Lover, but Sally may not actually be my partner.

That way if Sally turned out to be a Critic, I would still possibly look like a Lover.

I did the same to Mac after he showed he had reason to trust me. I assumed he had spotted the Lover thing, but warned him that, though he was right about me, he may have something slightly wrong.

Wild Man analyse vote record:

Cailineomer - Vote Nogrod meta-reason. Not especially suspect, but not especially un-suspect.

Mac - Vote Menel. Not especially suspicious, Wild Man think. Certainly, Wild Man share suspicion of Menel. At time, no suspect anyone else, but latest post seem wise, so Wild Man not extremely wary.

Gwath - Vote Nogrod. Had spat before. But with retrospect, look very defensive against Nogrod. Also, no suspect anyone (except Nog, Lari, late on). Speak much, say little. Then suspect Lari for she speak much, say little! Wild Man suspicious.

Fea - Again, speak much, say little. This vote worst than Gwath, for Gwath formerly suspect Nog, whereas Fea not formerly suspect, or even at time suspect Menel, and push bandwagon. Wild Man suspicious.

Brinniel - Early on, Brinn say: no suspect anyone. Then Brinn say, consider Nog, Sally or Mac, not want spread vote. Then say, want hear more from Mac, Sally say little. Vote for Nog on "feeling". Not very good.

More vote analysis to come.

Addendum: Brinn's last post make Wild Man feel she more innocent - it seem innocent reaction.

Kath - Originally, Wild Man think Kath quiet, therefore maybe lynch Kath. However, now that she make word, Wild Man think her word wise.

Boro - No reason to suspect. Feel innocent.

Wild Man tire now. Perhaps look at Sally, Ilya, Aganzir in little while.

I noticed it, but I really didn't give it a second thought. I assumed he was joking.
