You can explain why you didn't vote yesterDay for starters.

I'll leave it up to you to see if you can figure out why I'm still here.

That's hardly a fair trade...

Cowardice and indecision. I thought about voting you because I didn't like the way Nogrod seemed to be going out - but I wasn't all that suspicious of you. So I was afraid to commit one way or the other, deliberated a little too long, waffled back and forth, and missed the deadline.

Incidentally, what he said as well. I was about to vote (granted part of it was intended as self-preservation, but that's not the point) because I didn't like how it was going and realized as I was making my post that I was already too late. Not that I probably would have been happy with my vote anyway, but now that I've not made it I feel even sillier.

(Also, I'll have a post on the admin thread shortly. Just a heads up)

I find your explainations rather wanting, but its too late at night here for prolonged analysis as I have to work in the morning.

I was mostly waiting around to see if...well, precisely if the two of you were going to be around right at the time the Day started.

Whatdoyaknow...

I'm off for now. See you all later.

White Tree Contemplation of Destiny.

As Togashi Satsu said in the flavour text of the aforementioned card, 'Why did I not foresee this?'

This series of events eliminated half of my suspicion list. Vy ze whey, sorry Kuru--had you voted for Kent sooner I would have not voted for you . . . Well, no use crying over spilled milk, it was a test I thought worth doing--the NIGHT kill and your post explaining it did make me suspicious of you.

Why Firefoot? I'll look at her posts and see if there's anything.

We get Kuru back for the Day, nice. I was surprised to actually see him dead because, well two voted for him but they used their bonus votes to put him over the edge. But at least we have a known innocent who can possibly help with the analysis(that took me five tries to spell...its time for bed) toDay.

Firefoot being Night killed that is a bigger surprise than Kuru.

I wish I could say more but I'm off to bed and have nothing else more to say really, lack of sleep makes my thou-SHINNY!

Lari, I bloody love you.


And I see Nilp beat me to making a vote tally. If no one minds I may do one anyway, because his is a little hard to understand (well, not hard to understand so much as not in my format and messes with my head, which is probably his purpose anyway) and I'd really like to have one handy. Any objections?


I think I'll step away for several hours *yawns* since I didn't get any sleep in the Night worrying about being killed and such. When the game's over I'll have some interesting stories to share, but for now I must take my leave.

I myself, did not expect Kuru to be lynched yesterDay.
And to be blatantly honest. Good to have you here for one more Day, but why are people turning to him like the godfather? He may be a known innocent, but in what way does that make him omniscient and completely infallible?

My take on the Night kills, is that they are going after the most Ordo looking people. If that is correct, then this next night - they should/would probably go after a different kind of kill. Since all three have to kill before one does twice, and the Vampire can not turn anyone.

From yesterDay, it seemed Gwath was more going to vote for Kuru because of the thing between Kuru and Kent about his newbieness. Rather than because he wanted to save Nog.


Just my three cents for the moment.

Yeah, I did think Kuru was kind of weird about that.

Pipe Unexpected Intimidation.

Firefoot analysis (editor's comment are underlined and emphasised):

DAY 1
198
Says bonus votes should be saved as a trump card. Proposes that Agan, Shasta, and Nilp are the three wolves.
223
Responds to Agan's 216 (re the post title thing of Kuru). Adds a comment about Kuru using in his posts. But both 'seems rather innocuous' to her.

Agrees with Kent about wolves having 'a canned response to the bonus votes question', but issues a caveat about how to determine such a canned response.
255
Says that she's afraid the ones being suspected are the most talkative ones. Wonders about Agan using a bonus vote on Kuru, and further wonders if he's[sic] the seer. Votes for Kuru to test it out.

One of the posts that put her on the suspicion list of some people, myself included.
257
She thanks me for being kindhearted.

DAY 2

290
Defends her pointing out Agan as a seer (albeit in strangely-worded fashion). Wonders if Kuru is a wolf, or if Agan was being a liability to the evil side, lack of gift notwithstanding. In another paragraph, she thinks Agan's use of a bonus vote made her look like a seer.

Her other suspicious post.

325
Doesn't find anyone suspicious. However, if Kuru turns out to be a wolf, Izzy and Brinn would look suspicious.

'If' was emphasised, and she added the phrase 'but that's a big if' at the end, indicating, perhaps, that she did not suspect Kuru much at this point.
329
Wonders about Nog's DAY 1 vote (something that Izzy questioned about, too, but Nog brushed it off.) Thought that Kuru was just a safe vote for Nog and that the real target was Nienna. Calls his voting sloppy.

Comments on Nog's 313 (a comment on Kuru's 311, where he thought Kuru's explanation of the NIGHT kill seemed to be 'a post trying to convince us he's no baddie'.) She said that Nog wasn't suspicious of Kuru yesterday, and that Nog's analysis of the possibility of Kuru's wolvishness wasn't forthcoming.

Indicates her suspicion of Nogrod, but holds it back by saying that her suspicion comes from his being talkative. Comments on Kent's obsession with his newbie status.

Perhaps the post that killed her, if we go with the assumption that the Evil Three are hunting Lúthien . . .
395
Defends her seer comment. Says that it would be sloppy to point out a seer and kill her the next NIGHT. Votes for Nog.

Later Nogrod comments on this post (399), where she deemed Firefoot 'innocentish' . . .
Conclusions:
  • She suspected Shasta and Nilp on early DAY 1, and Nog (mildly) on DAY 2.
  • Everyone she interacted with on DAY 1 was proven innocent--save Kent (and Nilp, if you could call 257 'interaction.')
  • She was suspicious on DAY 2 due to her seer comment.
  • She withdrew her suspicion of Kuru DAY 2.
  • Her comments on Kent's newbie status revived a supposedly dead issue and caused a flare-up between Kuru and Kent.
