TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher

[A Little Green]

I'm here! First off, a little (green) flood of comments on first yesterDay, then toDay.

I stated my reasons for voting him yesterDay. I'll state them again now since it seems I wasn't as clear as I could have been. It was not because he suspected me. It was because he made weak reasons sound big and because he suspected people who had been voiced some suspicion of, which stank of wolf. Like I've said before, it's possible that he just found the same people suspicious as some others. It is also possible that he's evil and wants to increase suspicion on those who already have some.

I'm suspicious because I retaliated with a retaliatory move? How can you retaliate without a retaliatory move? Could you clarify, please, I have no idea what you are talking about.

The playful comments were a joke. Period. As for not making a list, I think I said (and if I didn't I'm sorry and embarrassed because I meant to) that I had next to nothing to say of the ones who had. Therefore, the list would have been labelling everyone either as "not showed up" or "no idea" which struck me as pointless.

Okay, that's suspicious. You didn't have time to do your own analysis? Then vote who seems the most suspicious to you, but don't vote because other people give good points against them! This may be a perfectly reasonable vote, and you could even be right (although I don't think so) but that reasoning just made me even more sure of my vote.

I agree it's no good to trust what others say instead of thinking for yourself. But if someone gives a good argument against someone else, it is going to sway at least my opinion. And that, I think, is kind of the point - why share your suspicions if not to convince others that you're right? If no one was ever swayed by someone else's arguments, there would be no point in argumenting in the first place.

Not always. Often.

All right, while bearing in mind that this statement came from the Bear (yay what a sentence!), it's still a valid point I meant to bring up myself. He seemed convinced I was the Werebear. Why didn't he vote for me? An innocent who thinks he has found a baddie doesn't go and vote for some random submarine instead. I don't know how voting McCaber would have benefitted a wolf-Nog, but even less why an innocent Nog would have done that if he believed in what he himself had said (and an innocent doesn't have much cause to say something he doesn't believe himself - unless it's some ploy (eurgh)).

I think the rules say the hunter can only kill if attacked at Night.

Okay. I can't decide if we're well off now or not. On one hand, the bear is dead which means that there'll only be one kill per Night from now on, which is cool. (Tremble, Nerwen, it looks as if your position as the village Captain Obvious was in danger!) On the other hand, we've lost the Seer, and our wolves must be rather happy right now. They've rid themselves of the Seer, the Bear, and the Hunter during one Day and Night.

I'll be around every now and then until my voting time, I have some school stuff to attend to but I'll try to pop up as often as I can.
