I'm not sure, though, that Alona's death would she more light than Sally's. Obviously, if one is a wolf and the other isn't, then the one who is a wolf is a much better catch, but if we can't tell that now--and I think we can't--then on the chance they could equally be wolves, each death would give us an entirely different set of possible related suspects.

So... if you're more suspicious of Alona, then go for her, but if you're equally suspicious, I'm not sure what the point would be. (And yes, I do see that in the quoted text you say you're "perhaps still more suspicious of [ Alona ]," but that's pretty weak preference. Can you talk yourself into a flat-out preference?)
As I see it, Alona's death will shed light on Sally, Autume and Lommy, while Sally's would really only reflect on Alona. Plus, the Alona-saving issue was the main source of my Sally-suspicion, anyway.

Fair enough...

On the off chance you don't vote Alona, I'm curious what you'd think of a Morm-waggon, and the consequnces there. Morm's been underactive (for him), and hasn't really stuck to interacting too much with anyone--yourself maybe excluded. I'm not sure I want to vote Morm, but part of me feels vengeful, and he's already accrued one vote, thanks to Sally (who, if Alona is guilty, would not be so evil, apparently)--though I'm also wary of throwing my lot in with with Miss 'saloser2005 right now.

Morm
has simply not appeared suspicious to me - I could be wrong, I don't read him that well, but I simply don't see what is fueling the wagon.

Just look at Tum's latest post. Not that you have to agree with her/us but all his posts are there in case you want to look. (I know I'm going to, just in case.)

I did, and I don't even see what she finds suspicious, let alone anything I would find suspicious myself.

Fair enough. To each their own, eh?



ETA: By the way, Rikae, there are 1000 posts in the thread (counting this one). We're responsible for over 1/4 of them!



ETA 2: Happy very belated 2000 posts to me!

I am only to 973 but I feel the need to retract the Form vote, sorry mate but it had to be done. I do suspect you and you haven't thrown me off, I do suspect some people more. I was glad to see Lommy jump on so quickly. I haven't fully read her yet, which is odd; actually it's odd I haven't suspected her, because like Rikae I tend to suspect her when innocent. With that said my case against you was fairly weak but knowing I could retract I wanted to throw it out there.

Again I don't trust you but there are those higher on the list. Alona for example especially with the no vote. I think it was Macthat pointed out she looks like a scared new wolf. I agree. I am beginning to think Sally is a good cobbler candidate, but honestly Lommy may fill that role though I'm more inclined to believe her the wolf.

I will not vote yet but I will retract

Alona - best suspect I have, but I feel foggy about her, if you know what I mean.
Autume - I don't know, but my feeling tends to more innocent than suspicious.
Durelin - good vibes from her.
Form - I'm not convinced by the evidence presented against him. I'm not convinced of his innocence either.
Lommy - really don't know what to think of her.
Mira - I used to think she's innocent, but now she has escaped my attention.
morm - probably innocent, but you never know.
Nerwen - creepy.
Nessa - creepy.
Nienna - not creepy.
Rikae - feels pretty innocent
Sally - a lot of evidence against her, but my gut feeling just won't agree with it.
Shasta - isn't anywhere close to my radar.

I'm not going to vote for Durelin, morm, Nienna, or Rikae toDay, and probably not for Autume, Form, or Mira (unless something unexpected happens, of course). I will choose among the rest on a whim, I think.

And I apologise for my lack of participation. I just don't feel like I'm really "in" the game and getting what's going on.

Well, my irkédness is mollified, anyway.

And, really... I think we suspect each other most of the time anyway, Morm. Something a bit stronger than not trusting me would make a better basis. I mean... is there anyone you do trust in this game? Because there's no one I trust (well, unless it's within a specific game context and we're lovers or shirriffs or something), and it would seem very odd if you did.

Lommy as the wolf... I can't see--partly, perhaps, because of a conflated mental image wherein she wasn't around for the first bit of the game, and thus couldn't have been killing people (yes, I know... she has a team if she's a wolf). Cobbler... now there's a possibility. Day 1 was crazy enough the wolves wouldn't've needed a Cobbler.

Probably going to vote Alona at this point, though I'm willing to contribute to a Sally-waggon if we want the second-most votes (in case of tying or last-minute flurries) to belong to someone else suspicious seeming. If the Alona-defence returns last minute again, I'd be willing to settle for a Sally kill.

I'm getting bear vibes off of Morm. He has discussed the bear at great length and he has done some weird voting things... mostly voting early and then the locking in of Hakon on Day One. He is just exuding bear to me at the moment.

Nienna, if I need to explain this I will as it has bugged many people, but particularly you it would seem. Nothing was happening on Day 1 Hakon needed to be voted for. I got things moving a bit if nothing else. The retraction and revote was a bit of an annoyance factor from Hakon. I was a bit bugged that he asked for a retraction, I found him suspicious and so to be comical and again to get people talking I did what I did and don't regret it.

Really? I think Form talked more about the bear than morm, but I could be mistaken.

So it took a ridiculously long amount of time for me to get caught up (blame Boro for that ) and I have little idea who I suspect enough to vote for than I did when I left for work this morning. There are a few candidates (who I'm not going to mention now in case I change my mind) but I'm going to take a closer look at a few people and see what happens.

Okay, that's fair enough, though my question was more whom you thought his death would implicate/exonerate than about whether you'd vote for him--though that question was tied in.

I agree with tum's reasoning to an extent--assuming that my version of how that reasoning goes is accurate. Basically, it runs thus: "Here are Morm's posts, here's what he says in a nutshell... and then out of the blue he has a serious suspicion of Formendacil, denounces him as the Bear, and votes thusly."

Insofar as I know I'm not the Bear, this puts me on edge, but the more objective case against him is in the out-of-the-blueness with which Morm's suspicion of me appears. As far as that goes, it looks quite odd indeed.

This is kinda looking familiar. Isn't this kinda what Shasta did on Day 1?

Edit: x-ed with morm and Form wow...it rhymes! I am easily entertained.
