What I find funny is that he hasn't posted at all after that post.
But yes he's probably aware his early posts won't be ignored whatever he says so I don't know what was the point of saying it.

I don't like it either, it somehow looked like... over-explanatory. And it looks a bit as if she was sort of hiding behind her dislike towards day 1s and using it as a reason to vote for a dangerous player.

Basically I don't like any of the Boro votes very much because, well, the reasons aren't very good and it looks like an effort to get rid of someone who can severely harm the baddies if he's good himself.

I agree with Lommy and Eomer about the votes in general (but I don't contemplate trolls).

Aieee I promised I'd ignore you but I can't help this! I don't like that comment - it means practically the same thing as voting Mira (according to you) would have meant. If you had voted her, I wouldn't probably have even thought of it that way, but you refrain from doing it because you don't want to appear wolfish by "taking hints from the cobbler". Still, you say it aloud, which looks like "Hey cobbler I caught your hint!" And that "Silly, I know" doesn't make it look any better.

I was just trying to protect your little green head from aching as you always get annoyed with those two.

I could be blunt and say: Yes because Boro is louder.
But no I think you missed my point - I referred to McC saying quiet ones should be lynched first while giving the impression he was going to talk lots in this game.

I don't see why you think that's weird, and at least on my part it isn't anything like "decidedly considering" her innocent. The only thing I decided was not to attack her with ridiculous reasons as long as she behaves herself and doesn't do the same to me.

I'm not overly fond of Greenie, somehow she seems to be aggressive and grasping at straws at the same time. Her point about Shasta was good, but unlike she, I don't think it was such a big thing. Like, I didn't approve much of his comment either, but it didn't make me feel "very uneasy".
I'm aware I have a tendency to suspect Green just because the way she plays always looks suspicious to me, but last time I decided not to say anything just because of that and lo! she killed me the next night.

Hey even robots have to sleep (Look what you made me do! Even after I promised not too).

But to make this be somewhat useful...I disagree with what you said about Lommy here:

Still, you say it aloud, which looks like "Hey cobbler I caught your hint!" And that "Silly, I know" doesn't make it look any better.
It makes Lommy look innocent, because it is brutally honest. I used to be constantly paranoid, and careful about what I said, or what I posted. People think that makes you a wolf, but it doesn't, ordos and innocents fear the gallows and also constantly wonder "If I say this,will people want to lynch me? If I vote this person, and I am wrong, will people think I am a wolf?"...etc

Until I finally realized, you can say whatever you want, someone will have a bad feeling, a twist in their gut...some reason to actually suspect you. And Lommy being brutally honest that she is worried if she does something, people will think she's a wolf shows me two things:

1. She is actually thinking about who to lynch today. I mean based on that alone, she should live today.

2. She is worried about the gallows, but isn't hiding it. That type of honesty is hard to find in a wolf.

Maybe Lommy is a great manipulating baddie, but I do not have that "aieee" reaction, and now I wonder why Agan, you reacted to it? It looks a bit...over the top?

Well, I return from a few hours of not so blissful slumber in which I racked by brain to reach a decision today. I see some thoughtful analysis has been offered by some who seem to know what they're talking about, while others appear to be whistling past the graveyard (where Eomer no doubt resides in a leaning tar-paper shack polishing his spade).
I'll have to leave shortly, so I must decide and hope my instinct is correct.
There are three at this time who stand out to me: Boromir, who has thrown things out all over the place to the point I don't know how to take him; the phantom, offering little of any use, while making vague threats about how long everyone is safe, and Nienna, who cast that 'just because' vote for Feanor.
It's the last that bothers me the most, I think, and it smacks of a nervous ne'er do well possibly trying to eliminate one who could be a threat to her nefarious plans.
I really have to go now, and I won't make it back in time for the deadline, so...

++ Nienna
