My answer is in an earlier post of mine actually.

That is my opinion on both Wilwa and Nog. However, seeing as their votes are rather too early to tell anything, there is always the possibility that one of them is a Wolf and I would not put it past either of them for two reasons: 1) Both of their votes are safe. 2) They both voted early, thus eliminating the "They joined the bandwagon" situation.

Oh, and just to keep the voting updated:

1. Nogrod -------> Alona
2. Wilwa -------> Sally
3. Lottie -------> Zil
4. Rikae -------> Glirdan
5. Zil -------> Lottie



Hmmmm....I just noticed something rather interesting....Lottie and Zil both voted for each other....both have come up with their own reasonings, true.....But could this be a Wolf on Wolf vote to lure us away from believing so?

This caught me as odd... However as I came into something very confusing I thought DL was when a few other people said so those two together made a kind of... ok this is a crappy vote but it's all I got kind of thing...

And if I recall Gwath said no vote retractions.

Just an update:

1. Nogrod -------> Alona
2. Wilwa -------> Sally
3. Lottie -------> Zil
4. Rikae -------> Glirdan
5. Zil -------> Lottie
6. Izzy -------> Shasta
7. Lari -------> Shasta
8. Morsul -------> Glirdan

I see the validity of what Glirdan was saying about Lottie and Zil, especially since Lottie was the first and pretty much only person to bring up suspicion around Zil and stick with it. Rikae's suspicion of Glirdan seems a little shaky - Glirdan didn't post all that much and what he did post seemed honest.

Lari's vote was last minute, by her own admittance. Nog's vote was probably due to time constraints and Wilwa's vote for Sally seemed like a best guess on Day 1.

Though I've said I don't have that strong of suspicion, Shasta's quiet-ness alone is making me suspicious of him - where have you been toDay, kind sir? Then again, Morsul makes me nervous with his out of nowhere vote for Glirdan. How is what he said about Lottie and Zil suspicious?

I'm leaning towards either Morsul or Shasta at this point. Not much to go on, but it's all I have for Day 1.

So I can't retract my vote? Oh great.

Morsul, can you point me to this? I skimmed the admin thread and couldn't find anything.

Look at the votes when I voted(crossing with the second shasta vote) Everyone had one Looked to me like self preservation "Look people voting for each other quick vote them not me" added to a mistaken DL I went with gut oh well vote me if you want save me some trouble for a week.

If it is, I wasn't informed.

I'm on, in case you hadn't noticed by the fact that I posted.

And bravo, Lottie. The only thing missing is the melody! By the way, was that based upon something else, or was it a Lottie Original?
So, this is it so far? I'll be back when more of the young people begin to stir.
Nice little first post. Makes everyone happy, says he's off. Nothing much there.

Still nothing of note? This is disappointing, even for Day 1. It does look likely I'll be making a shot in the dark by voting for a sub, at this rate.
Outing the 'PM Pals', hmm? I suppose we could, but what would it accomplish?

EDIT-had to remove one of Wilwa's smilies to allow one of my own
Wilwa banter; complains about lack of posts; comments on the outage of the pmers. About the pmers, this is exactly what I think when I read this: If everyone wants to I have no objection but I don't know why we should.

Izzy, hm? Well, I would ask you if she's said anything interesting, or, even better, lupine, but then, how do I know you're not a wolf?
This is why I don't see what this gains us. We're flying blind both ways, here and with our PM Pals.

x/d with Nog and Wilwa
Questioning how Wilwa knew there would be no wolf/gifted pairings; banter with Izzy. This also says nothing. "You're maybe right, but I don't know how you could be so sure." Maybe, but maybe not.

Wilwa said she was basically just trying to get people posting, and it appears she was somewhat successful. I didn't think she was all that enthused about it herself, just trying to get reactions.

So, Sally and I say practically the same thing, yet somehow I'm evil and she isn't?

x/d with Lottie (ah! my first vote!) and Glirdan
Defends Wilwa; resonding to me. Yes, because Sally's actually took a stance. Yours said nothing but sounded nice, if you look closely.

At the moment, I think I'm leaning toward Lottie. No one else really stands out as much at the moment, and her vote for me wasn't very well reasoned, even if it is me saying so. I never said I was for or against the PM-Pal outing, yet she claims I flip-flopped.
There's also the way she seems to be misrepresenting Wilwa's words, as Rikae notes. I'd like to hear from some others though before I decide.

x/d with Glirdan
I claimed you flip-flopped because you never actually gave a position, but you seemed to twice. I did not misrepresent Wilwa's words. In the post where she suggested revealing pm pals, she also considered fake revealing or voting herself. In my mind, that counts a joking. Inzil also worries about Morsul's absense.

As I said, her vote seemed quite forced, and no one else looks worse.
Votes me because my vote was forced.

Is happy about the Ranger save and says the first thing is to establish why they were after Sally. Wants to look at the dl stuff. Honestly, that doesn't seem all that helpful to me, since at the dl it was just Sally and Morsul, and they're both cleared already.

I don't think that's proof of Shasta's guilt, but it doesn't make him look particularly good. He also voted for Morsul, though admittedly that was to save himself. I can't necessarily blame him for that alone.
Hm. An attempt to silence one who almost killed him, or a wolfish plot to put him under a cloud?
I guess I should look back at the rest of Sally's doings to see if there's anything there. That'll probably have to wait a few hours, though. My bed awaits.
Looks at Sally and thinks that Shasta could be guilty.

I still think he's wolfish, but he hasn't posted much. It's hard to tell.

Goodie. That makes it:

Sally/Glirdan
Shasta/Alona
Morsul/Wilwa
Rikae/Izzy
Nog/Lottie
Dun/Lari

My internet's on the blink but I'll come back with conclusions on this in a bit.

So first of all, Alona asked me to rely that she will be at work for the next six hours.

Second I guess I'll try a list because there is nothing much else going on.

Nog: I have no read, and he is absent from the game. I honestly have no idea.

Inzil: PM partner, nothing jumping out.

Shasta: He hasn't said much, is kind of staying away. Whether from lack to time or what but I want to keep my eye on him.

Izzie: Again, no idea. Not really sure what to think.

Rikae: I don't know. She is suspicious of Alona saying they are on the same side and busy. Whether Alona is assuming they are both innocent or just saying a general we are all on the village's side it was an interesting thing to jump on.

Alona: Her arguing with Lottie is a lot like innocent Alona getting annoyed. I'm leaning towards not guilty.

Sally: Reasonably certain she is innocent. As in, right if she was the Night kill then she is innocent.

Lottie: I honestly don't like her logic at all. Most of it is flimsy. I have a really bad feeling about her. It kind of seems like she's a wolf with nothing to do and trying to make sense of it.

Wilwa: Not sure at all again. Really, no idea.

So yeah, a lot of people I have no read on, one who looks rather suspicious, and at least one I want to watch. This is super for Day 2.

Nog: alona seems to think I can read her (and she had an uncanny ability to read me in RL WW), so if she's a wolf I'd expect her to try and win my trust in any event. If she knows I'm innocent (because I'm not in her pack) she may try to imply she knows it either hoping I will trust her because she trusts me (out of general good feelings), or because I'll think she's a seer. Which I don't.

And, Lari, I'm curious as to why you think it was an interesting thing for me to "jump on" - it was, after all, a very odd thing and one of the only things said about me.

Plgh. I keep thinking that deadline is at nine, not in less than ten minutes.

Ahh, okay. I must've missed that. I suppose I should clarify. What is your opinion on her vote reasoning. As she essentially voted for one whom came online, noticed lack of posts, then didn't contribute to the post count number. Which you are condemning me for mentioning. xD

I've got to vote now.
++Shasta

Somewhat random. I know he can contribute more, Mister!


X'd with Glirdan and mistyped Shasta's name.

Really?? Do explain this a little more, if you wouldn't mind. Also, why have you been so quiet toDay? Rather mysterious, shifty, Wolfish behavior if you ask me. Care to explain?

Well then, I have no idea if retracting votes is allowed, but

--Shasta

I don't really want to vote for him, mostly because that was just a "aaaahhhh deadline" decision.
