Sorry I wasn't here yesterday but I was engaged in the joys of airline travel. I haven't been able to catch up on all that was said and I will see if I can but I don't think it overly likely. Anyway I notice a good deal of activity surrounded me yesterday. I got the impression that those who began it did not want to taint their paws on it. Sally increasingly worries me. She seems unwilling to commit to anything solid and yet floats around everywhere poking here and prodding there. She is stirring the pot, so to speak. Rikae as well is not looking good by me still. I don't trust her and would be happy to see her gone. I really believe that we need to bag a baddie today otherwise we are in desperate peril. I implore everybody to objectively look over all of Rikae's and Sally's posts.

Formendacil is another that just hasn't been sitting right with me. Nothing overt but small subtle things, more of a gut on him. I think the other baddie is going to be in one of the players I'm not familiar with i.e. Nessa, Autume, Mira etc... I don't know how to read them yet so I'm a bit at a loss with them.

I would love a fresh set of eyes to look at Rikae and Sally and let me know what you think.

ps I only skimmed some of what happened yesterday, if I get a more detailed reading opinions may change.

Based on Autume's voting recount Alona does look might suspicious.

I am wondering if Rikae and Alona are in it together. Rikae voted early for Alona which could have been fairly innocuous at the time but something to throw off the ties they have. Admittedly it's a bit of a stretch but not too much to make it unrealistic.

Sounds like you're really determined to suspect me, then, considering I was actually not only the first to vote her, but to suspect her, and it seems to me, at least, I pushed pretty strongly for her lynching, as I intend to do toDay as well, barring any significant developments.

Er, sorry about that - next time I see someone do something suspicious, I'll just keep my mouth shut. I forgot I was the cobbler... oh, wait a minute, I'm not the cobbler.

EDIT: X'd with all since Sally's #794

Hehe. That made me giggle. Here, have a cookie.

I just think that coming out and saying "Hey, such and such is suspicious because they did exactly what they said they were going to do" is a bit silly. And really, you'll notice that I wanted to kill Morm, so I would think he wouldn't be complaining. Just sayin'. (Although when I finish with Brinn I intend to analyze Alona because I think she looks darn suspicious right now. YesterDay I didn't have a chance to look at her much and by the time I did it was too late.)

ETA: x'd with two Rikaes. And now I need to spend my time doing something productive instead of defending myself when I didn't do anything wrong. *headdesks* Off to analyzation land....

Ah, and now I see that was Lommy's weird retracted vote, not Autume's (can we please stick to less confusing nicknames, or just type out the real names from now on, folks?) My comments about it are the same, anyway - that was my reaction to it yesterDay, but I had forgotten who the two people were that did it toDay and just looked at the vote count. *sigh*

Just to clear things up

Morm=Mormegil

I'm glad you reread my post to make sense of it I was going to point that out.

Sally, you seem fairly jumpy, I'm sure your pack is sitting there yelling at their monitor for you to calm down.

I guess since I'm still alive (though, I don't know for how long ), I should try and get in some analysis before the bandwaggon-ing starts. One thing I noticed, yesterDay, in the flurry of cross posts, was this:

Durelin was gone for most of yesterDay. Understandable, since I was gone for several hours yesterDay too, but her vote said "Of the 3 tied, she's it for me." Why only vote based on the top 3 suspects and not base your vote on evidence? I know Durelin posted before about her suspicions, but nowhere did she suspect me, morm and she stated she didn't understand where the fuel for Inzil was coming from, if memory serves. So why only vote to break the tie? I mean, I know Sally asked someone to break it, but still...

Also, any thoughts about the bear after last Night?

~~~

And, to answer what seems to be a recurring issue - the way I "seem" in my posts. Honestly, I think that's my style. I like to be friendly to people, and though it almost got me killed yesterDay, that's not going to change. I apologize that it creates suspicion around me - kinda makes me wish Lari were here to back me on this.

Well, it may not help in this game, but if it's a matter of style, people will eventually get used to it and stop suspecting you for it (well, unless you're a wolf, in which case you'll be suspected for your style forever. Case in point: I was a wolf the first time I really lost my temper in a game. Henceforth, some people *coughnogcough* think I'm a wolf every time I get annoyed. Annoying, that is.)

Why the heck don't we just call her Lommy?

You clearly don't know how to read me yet, either.

I'd like a look at Form and Sally, too, though. Sally especially. Also, Nerwen's been under my reindeer to a degree, an oversight which must be remedied.
That will probably have to wait until tomorrow, though.

EDIT: X'd with everything since my last post.

That may be true. But I do know how I read you. I generally think you are suspicious, just like I think Lommy generally suspicious. Therefore I will continue to suspect you but I always do so with a grain of salt.

Ah, but that proves you don't - most of the time I'm innocent.

Eh, never mind that last post, I read morm's post wrong and now I see it doesn't make sense. I'm too tired and my eyes are playing tricks on me. Time for bed.
