autume98 has just left Hobbiton.
It seems that I have accidentally created some confusion. Below I thought that when Sally voted for Dun she was voting for Durelin.
So where I put Dun 1 it should actually read morm 1, Inzil 5. At this point alona has 4. So sally did break the tie.

Lommy's vote would make it Shasta 1, and Inzil 6.

I am terribly sorry for any confusion I have caused.

Brinn votes for morm. Doesn't give explanation, and unfortunately we won't hear it now as she has been killed by the Bear. (morm 2)

Sorry, I got quite ill last night so I ditched the computer in favor of....well, not being here. Heh.

And Morm, I 'calmed down' last night because I went to bed. Nothing more.


ETA: Oi! It submitted my post before I was finished!

Well, in that case I'll just say that I'll be back in a second. Fell asleep last night before I could do/finish my Brinn analysis, so I'll wrap that up quick and then I might have an announcement to make. We shall see.

autume, yes, Sally broke the tie - but she didn't know that's what she was doing at the time, as her vote post clearly shows! She can't use that as an excuse now.
Furthermore, it's irrelevant how alona's retraction reflects on Sally's and Lommy's, since they all crossed with each other.

Sally, making an "announcement" at this time, if I understand you properly, would be needless and, therefore, exceedingly suspicious.

*rolls eyes*

That wasn't even close to what I meant, but thanks for that.


Finishing my Brinn analysis now, if I may.


EDIT: x'd with Alona and Durie. And I'll admit to editing my post for the re-tie. I'll explain in a minute.

In that case, I'm tempted to vote for you just for that. As a matter of fact, that added to all your assorted wolvishnesses =

Nienna and Mira - both 'analyze' (=summarize, but that's what nearly everyone does) and come to very forced conclusions.

Nessa - No substances whatsoever. Nor anything amusing. If you're the cobbler you should be louder and less worried about lynching a wolf.

Sally - Bad reactions, weird vote (seems to mean one of two things right now), post #544 when talking about Pitchwife's vote for her...

alona and autume - Jumpy, defensive, while agreeable, and highlighting new-ness. Let's see some backbone! They're probably lowest on my list if only maybe because I have no background with them.

Lommy - Feels calm but sneaky, and I haven't agreed with anything she's said as I recall, which is odd to me. Hmm have I ever seen a Lommy-cobbler?

Nerwen - Not sure. Feels innocent, but...

Form - Feels innocent.

Rikae and Morm - I've been agreeing with them quite a bit, and am starting to feel uneasy about it.

Mac and Shasta - Who?

This just seems too desparate, whether or not it's the truth. No offense.

Not what I was pointing out, as no one could know that's what you did/meant to do.

No, it doesn't bother me like Nerwen's backwards writing because it's not annoying, it's just suspicious. There's a huge difference. So either you just misunderstood me, or are really jumpy/eager to please. Just keep using smileys as you will, I have no intention of becoming any kind of smiley-dictator, that would be rather hypocritical of someone who very often has to remove smileys from her posts in order to have the acceptable amount there...

That seems plausible enough since they all seem curiously jumpy, especially the a-ladies. This is an interesting comment from Rikae though - if even one of the trio turns out to be guilty, I'll be more positive of Rikae's innocence. If they all turn out innocent, I'm ready to lynch Rikae.

I'm looking forward to seeing Sally's explanation and Durelin's reasons for her impressively long lynch-list.

edit: xed with Alona and everything after her

The recent discussion seems WEIRD. I think Sally is honest about what she did and what she didn't, but she's probably a wolf. In that case, Rikae is probably not a wolf, unless she's a backstabbing meanie.

As for Sally's speculation - I can honestly see morm as a bear and doing that. But I'm still more inclined to consider Form a bear.

Now, I don't think there was anything that unusual about my alona/autume/Sally statement, but this from Lommy looks downright eerie. Like a wolf who is setting up a future vote, or something. If they all turn out innocent, everybody look at Lommy!

And Sally, the thing about Durelin's vote not being bolded - that only would matter if you thought of it at the time, and if so, you wouldn't have to go back searching for something, would you? You'd remember thinking "Durelin's vote doesn't count, there's still a tie" or some such thing. Unless you didn't see Durelin's vote at all, but somehow the way you're arguing just doesn't seem like it... I mean, if it was a simple oversight and you were innocent, why all the convoluted explanations, each new twist only being revealed upon further questioning? I think an innocent would be more likely to say "I thought the vote was tied" and then explain the editing flub, in an open and honest manner, than to do things the way you have. I'm considering retracting my vote, but I'm far from convinced.

As promised....

Brinn analysis up shortly. Then....I think I'll give our resident psychic (Shasta) a lookthrough before I make my announcement/thing.


EDIT: x'd with Alona twice. Oh, and I guess Rikae's voted for me. Heh, didn't catch that. Go me.

In that case:

1) where is the post in which Durie pointed it out to you? I only see her talking about her own un-bolded vote.

2) why did you use doing what you said you were going to do, ie, tiebreaking, as a vote explaination toDay without explaining all this?

3) ...gotta check something...

1: Erm, maybe it wasn't Durie. *checks* Yup, it was. Post number....*checks again* 864, I believe.

2: Because I didn't realize I'd done it until....erm, post 864.

3: Okie dokie. Enjoy.


And really, if I did something that dumb I rather deserve to be lynched. (Not looking for sympathy, I really do feel stupid.) The problem is that if you lynch me you're lynching another ordo, so just take that into consideration.

Oh, I've not posted my analysis. Crap! *hangs head in shame* Thought I had.

yes, I was right.

3) Sally, if you only crossed with Alona, and not with Durie, you were re-tying the votes as far as you knew at the time you posted. Durie put Alona at 4, while Inzil and Morm were at 3. You then (as far as you knew) tied Inzil with Alona.
Usually detailed explanations of errors and misunderstandings look innocentish (and you know that, Sally), but this just looks like a tangled web of lies that keeps getting worse and worse.

EDIT: far as you knew, not know. Also X'd with Sally, Sally, Durie, Durie.

I don't find Alona that suspicious right now. Sorry for the re-tie.



EDIT: x'd with Alona. Now I'm the idiot.
So when she posted, she believed she was re-tying...and at the last minute, literally.

Hello all, btw.

Sally, Nessa, Nienna, Mira, Lommy, alona, autume...so many to lynch, so little time...I guess I need to pick a few favorites.

I must say I could almost thank the wolves for taking phantom's advice, but I also think they are silly for actually listening to him.

It's funny to me that there was some quiet consensus that he was the Night 1 Seer dream...as usual? Perhaps we should lynch all you people who are convinced of such.

Or maybe we should lynch everyone with a sick sense of humor.

<_< >_>
