I really want to look at someone besides Mac for a while, and that vote does look somewhat sly to me.

x/d with Morsul, who brought up the same thing.

The fact that he was in the most previous game pushes him more into the "wolf" camp, as I know that much of my own exuberance comes from the fact that I take long breaks in between games.

In short, I've been suspecting him because if he's not a wolf, then he's acting too much like me for my own liking. I don't trust people who act like me.
I don't know where to start with this one... what sort of argument is that?

Now, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that I would have said "whether there is a cobbler" rather than "whether we have a cobbler". Honest mistake, slip of the tongue?
Is there really a difference?
I'd guess the reasoning there is that Brinn's use of "have" implies she sees the cobbler as belonging to her, i.e. is a wolf... but that's an awful stretch. After all, villagers will talk about "having" X number of wolves.

I do think her vote on me was a bit questionable.

I am working relentlessly to get you out, and will soon get back to you when my imaginings encompass the correct gender.

Thanks when I saw that I wanted to respond but there was such little time until deadline and it had happened some time before that that I figured it would be pointless bringing it up. Thank you, though, for the apolgoy.

I wasn't sure at the time if I was just suspecting her because she suspected me. It was also near deadline and I didn't want Mac or Mnemo to be lynched so I was willing to use my vote to trying to save them as apposed to wasting my vote when I could have made a difference.

She had been saying very reasonable things all Day, participating, and had done nothing to warrant my suspicion.

So I've read here and there mostly try and get a feel of what's going one. I just can't shake the feeling of Boro being a wolf. Mostly because he's so open about the fact of, 'this isn't the way Boro-wolf would act.' I know you're trying not to draw attention to yourself because that can cause potential lynching. Though from what I understand Boro's been doing this a while and could be trying to throw people off by going a completely opposite direction. Something in my gut just doesn't sit right.

Nog I feel is hiding something, nothing in the sense of wolf-mischief. Though something is a little hidden. Also seems that they wanted to make this big uprising against Roa only to have it stolen away. *Pat pat on shoulder.*

Since I wont have a chance to vote tomorrow I'll vote now.

It's Pitch time...

Pitch first started to rankle with the "We don't know if it's wolves" post. Roa's bringing this up definitely helped bring him to my attention.

Next, comments on Boro and Nog vs. Roa. Nothing really to disagree with here; I do appreciate his appreciation of Boro's pot-stirring.

Next, suggests that Mac's a hypocrite...

Looks at Nienna and Lottie and here's where something really looks fishy. Let's give them credit for trying to start up the game by restating the rules (which tends to look helpful without being helpful...)?

...while he himself was staying in character?

Pitch, you just gave me the first concrete evidence I've had all game. Which may mean nothing, mind, but still...

Looks at Morsul, nice wee defense which I'll accept.

Yesterday the short posts on various people really did nothing to help... breaking things up into information chunks like that seems to be more of a concern to spread quantity

Again, must look up and see how he normally plays...

Next, Lommy, Green, Brinn, and Eomer... He's pretty neutral on these.

Mild suspicion on Nerwen. Eh.

On Inziladun... Says that Inziladun's been quiet, which I don't quite agree with. Not that Inziladun was loud, either... just enthused as I said before.

Votes Mac using the standard Day One vibe reasoning. ^_^

at the same time I understand why people are saying it looks bandwaggonish. Not sure if I buy that or not.

Sensible response to Boro that could mean anything...

Apparently is still suspicious of Mac.



Again what originally set me off about Pitch was the kind of silly jumpiness that I attribute to Werewolf zeal (Generic YAY or YAY I'M A WOLF). But his spreading his thoughts on people out and putting them into short discrete chunks was seriously irritating. I need to check and see if that's his style or not... And plus the whole Nienna/Lottie thing was weird.

I can explain my suspicion of Inziladun yesterDay away to myself as an irrational distrust. I can't do that so much for Pitch (although I note that the exuberance was again a factor in my vibishness yesterday).

But in the meantime we've got additional weirdness... namely, Lottie's vote. She hadn't left my radar, but...

You can get away with not really explaining votes on Day One. Not Day One Day One, however... I just don't get it.

Good news is I feel pretty good about trom being innocent, despite her vote.

Here's the deal, I sort of have this reputation for being ruthless, slippery SOB...erm wolf. Shasta, I know can certainly fill you in about some down-right evil stories, but we can take a trip down memory lane another time. That's my reputation, people really don't like to trust me, eventhough everything is telling them that they can, because we never liked to get fooled.

I typically find myself spending an abnormal amount of time trying to get everyone to trust me when I'm innocent, and thus the openness. So is the way of the world though, and I'm not sure why I even do it, because it is an impossible thing.

Also, believe as a wolf I am more sly than directly pointing out "I'd do this as a wolf, and since I didn't, I'm not" trick, because I don't hand out my wolf-secrets. Mith, Lommy, Rikae (and apparently Mac now ) to name a few have picked up on some of the unintentional signs, but there's nothing I hand out.

To refrain from a spiel, I'll leave it at this...I'm innocent. Believe it or not, that's your choice, and if and when I die are you willing to bet eating a toaster when my innocence is proven?

Less the "have" by itself, more the "we have" together. A stretch, yes, but more concrete than other things I've seen thrown about.

#4,6 - in-character
#20,23 - in-character and complaint about Day1
#25,41 - some rule/strategy/theory discussion with Roa/Bes
#97 - thinks that the combattants are merely ordos going at each other, continues the rst. - this seems strange, she's been complaining about a lack of controversy, but once it's there, she dismisses it as ordos and tells people to calm down.
#108 - list of suspicions, Nog, Roa, Boro innocent, Lottie, Nienna, Pitch, Inzil most suspicious
#111 - out for lunch
#125 - nothing happened in the meantime but ordo-on-ordo - she never stated why she got that impression
#128 - narrows it down to Pitch and Inzil, but without a reason beyond "vibe"
#130 - coinflips Inzil

#192 - general comments, approves of availability of information after suspended lynch
#205 - comments to Boro's point about Inzil and me not being gifted
#206 - suspected Roa of giftedness
#222 - replies to Shasta about rst.
#225 - defends why she didn't vote Morsul - this is a bit unnecessary, isn't it?
#237 - explains suspicion of Inzil, conclusion: he's been acting too much like she would - I don't want to go into much detail of her case now, but it's not convincing
#243 - defends her coinflip to Nog

Alright, most of this has already been stated by others, but it kind of confirmed it to myself now. Definitely suspicious, I agree, and much more so if Nogrod is a wolf, too.
