She has been too good... (I know she's an intelligent person but her dedication to make soo accurate points has been just overwhelming toDay)

What I mean is that she made an elaborate argument - citations and all - arguing that the wolves thought Mnemo was the seer's dream. And it was a good case indeed. It was indeed so good a case it felt it had been thought of by some very thorough and intelligent wolves for the last 24 hours - ending up with killing Mnemo for exactly those reasons while we others slept.

....

Other than that Wilwa has been most considerate person and one if continuing like that would be a great asset to us if innocent. But somehow I can't believe for a moment both her and Legate are innocents. So if Legate turns out innocent for some reason I'd be looking at Wilwa the first thing toMorrow.
Well. I have played a ton of WW games, like almost 20 I think. I almost always just post an average amount and contribute enough to not get suspicion (no matter my role), but not enough for my contribution to really stand out as being really useful. Now this may very well be my last game for a while (depending on what my school will be like when it starts next week). So I made a deal with myself that no matter what my role I would participate more then I ever have and try to be useful, instead of just floating casually through or not doing much at all.

This, I'm assuming, is why I'm getting suspicion. The whole analysing and contributing alot thing is a new move for me, so I'm not really used to it. If I was guilty I would not be doing this, because I have been bad many times and have always acted the same way as a baddie, and it's usually worked out extremely well for me. So I'm not gonna start changing something that's worked for me in the past.

And about the Kit analyses. I'll admit that I did start that a few hours before the Day started. I wanted to start off strong and wanted to be prepared incase I was still alive. Plus yesterday was my day off and I had absolutely nothing to do, so I figured this would be a good use of my time.

Anyway, I'm not trying to get all defensive, I just want it to be clear that all I'm trying to do is be helpful, cause in most games I haven't been overly useful, and I wanted this possible last game of mine to be different. Just not used to the whole useful thing, I'm usually just more occupied with trying to stay alive as long as possible.

Now, onto more important stuff.

Every time I re-read everything Legate says he makes more and more sense to me. I see the merit that his ideas have. I don't think they're as likely as some other possibilities, but I do really respect the work he's put into them. I do however still think that lynching him would get us further along, if he's guilty (which I think is more probable) then that's awesome, if he happens to be innocent then it provides us with a better idea of what sort of wolves we're dealing with, and we can try to figure out who would have been more likely to agree/come up with such a risky bluff. I'm seeing that the latter is more possible then I originally thought it was, but I don't think it's as likely, so I'm willing to take the risk. Besides, if we did lynch someone else instead we would just be back to wondering what to do with Legate tomorrow (not to mention we could accidently kill another gifted), and we wouldn't really have accomplished to much regarding that subject. So it's our best bet really, despite the risk.

Man, this is all starting to make me nervous. Everyone is just making so much sense, it's confusing.....

Gonna go make another list now....

x'ed since the Nog post I quoted

You asked who I'm voting for, Legate? Well, you'll hate to hear it, but I'll be voting you. You've made your arguments plenty, and while these arguments are well written, they don't convince me. Yeah there is the possibly of being framed, but it still seems more sensible for the wolves to make as many kills possible while they still can. Anyway, I think you're death will reveal a lot. If we lynch you and confirm you're a wolf, then we can toMorrow analyse posts to figure out who your fellows are. Not to mention, it'll prevent any double kills from ever happening. And if you so happen to be innocent as you claim, we can look back at toDay and see the reactions and attitudes of different players to help us figure out which of them are the wolves.

And I do have to go now and won't be back, so:

++Legate

Note: There's only an hour left, so let's not spend the rest of the Day discussing Legate. The wolves want us distracted, so I suggest we don't let ourselves get distracted and focus the attention elsewhere at other players who could be wolves too.

I'll guard:

++Shasta

He's made few posts so far, but the ones he made do make me think him innocentish. I find Shasta is a good person to trust, so I'd like to know for sure that I can.

Okay, in that case (after reading her last post) I am leaning to see Brinn possibly also a bit more like guilty. Rather "simple" way of putting the matter off the table. Though it's true it may not necessarily mean guilt if you trust someone on one Day and then by logic you change your mind (especially if the first was Day 1). But still.

Btw, if wilwa is not innocent, the fact that her and mine lists x-posted might help in some way too. She could not have adjusted her lists based on what I said (in whichever way it might be of use).
