Thanks!

Now, I've just seen a couple things that make me uneasy or just make me go "huh?":

- phantom is repeating what I said again. Not that what I said doesn't make sense, but I kind of would expect phantom to have something new to contribute, if you know what I mean.

- autume made a list in which she basically said she has no idea about anyone (except Mac, alona, Sally and Nienna, who are unsuspicious for no particular reason). What is that supposed to accomplish...??

- alona and autume seem eerily buddy-buddy, somehow.

- alona still pushing the theory the bear killed Hakon out of annoyance, and seems to be drawing on things in the admin thread (things, incidentally, which should never have been posted, being against the rules, but which are irrelevant anyway, since the dead don't gain any special information). If there's a setup going on, that would appear to be an attempt to complete it. I don't think I need to say why the "angry bear" theory is off the wall - I wouldn't insult any player here by saying that they were irrational enough to do such a thing in the precarious position of a lone bear... but yeah. It seems to keep coming up, and it looks oddly planned. Like someone behind the scenes gave instructions to that effect or something.

Just a really quick stop-in (we haz FIRE!!!) before supper.

Mostly just keeping up-to-date with the discussion, but the above-quoted comment of Rikae's seems spot-on to me. And it is eerie, but I'm wondering to what extent it's not just the fact that they aren't both relatively new, talk about as much, both have names starting in "A," and have yet to distinguish themselves properly in my mind?

That being said, they DID reinforce it themselves with Alona's explanation of herself being picked up on by Tum as "yes, exactly."

Still... this need not mean anything. I really can't see them both being wolves on the strength of it, and it seems clumsy for one wolf to draw that kind of attention to herself--and though new, neither of these girls seems that clumsy.

Not certain of anything on the basis of it... but, yes, I agree with Rikae that it seems a bit odd.

Well, I definitely don't think they're sheriffs, at any rate.

We've got being newbies to bond over, I guess. Other than that, all I know of her is that she's Sally's friend (I'm pretty sure).

I posted my theories about the bear out of boredom, really. I've been home since about 1pm pst with nothing to do, looked over old posts, found Sally's questions about the bear (and her request to be analyzed by Mira), and just thought it would help and give something for me to do.

Well I made a list trying to help me figure out where I stand with people, and at the same time letting others know where I stand. As for the four you mentioned. I was just pointing out that I don't find them highly suspicious. Obviously everyone is suspicous. These ones just haven't tipped off my radar. Hope that helps. Not sure what you're looking for.

As for alona and I being buddy-buddy, I can say that it's nice having someone else who's new on the board as well. So I just replied letting her know that's how I felt too.

Edit: x-ed with Form, Alona, and Rikae

Calling two people "Tum" is slightly confusing...

Mac - Well he hasn't said anything that has thrown me off. He's asked some good questions. I have noticed that he's gone under most of people's radar. However he really hasn't done or said anything to attract a lot of attention.

alona - Maybe it has to do with us both being newbies. I see where she's coming from a lot of the time.

sally - I know a lot of people are suspicious of her just for being her. It seems there are quite a lot of people on the board like that. You just don't trust them. I guess she hasn't done anything to make my gut flare up. Maybe not the answer you want, but it is the answer I've got.

Nienna - I appreciate the fact that she wanted to know about my vote. Even though I had posted it awhile back. It seems as though she just overlooked that post. She apologized and all is good. I guess that just put her in a good standing for the time being. Can't say it'll stay that way, but for the time being she is ok.

I'm hardly having any time to read here, so would anyone be so kind as to tell me why Morm is attracting votes?

rhinoceros

And I agree that it's confusing have Tum and Tummy. I suppose if we have no better options we should lynch her just to get rid of that problem.

rhinoceros

And really Rikae- that last post I was basically repeating you? So you also questioned Shasta about his vote and said that Mira looked guilty of nothing but Cobblery? If so then I'm sorry for not reading more thoroughly. Like I said I'm only having time to skim.

rhinoceros

And if you're wondering why I keep saying rhinoceros, it's due to Nienna's word clouds. If I keep typing rhinoceros then rhinoceros will show up decently large in the cloud, and it would be extremely funny to see rhinoceros prominently displayed. And along the same lines as rhinoceros...

*refreshes, glances up*

Or we could just lynch Morm, since he's the only one who calls you Tummy on a regular basis. Or we could lynch all three of you and be done with it completely.

*giggles, sees Phantom's clever plan*

Heh. I bloody love you.

*yawns*

Unfortunately, I have no funny words to offer right now. This saddens me.

*falls asleep again*

I was suspicious of Morm for piggy-backing on Mira's vote for Rikae, though I'm thinking of retracting since Mira said that her vote wasn't certain to begin with. Sally said that he made her squirm and Zil had a few questions for Morm, but voted for him anyway in his next post.

Am I reading this wrong? It sounds like you're considering backing off your morm vote because Mira might back off her vote for me... what does that have to do with morm? Just wondering.
