No, but he clearly voted for EW only because he wanted to save Fea.

The ranger vibes were only one single comment, and even that wasn't very serious, it just made me stop and think for a while.
But heck. I have no idea, either, what that comment is about. I remember it had something to do with the gifted vibes, and something with his jumpiness, but that's about as far as I can retrace my thought process.

Unless she is bluffing to have misinterpreted the narration (which, I think, is not something she'd do), this makes her look pretty good.

I don't need to bluff when it's 4am and I've had a few drinks. But you're right, I wouldn't lie about misreading something.

When I voted for Eomer, there was considerable support for his lynch. He would've been lynched if Pitchie and Sally hadn't both missed the DL.

But, Lottie, did you notice that Sally's reasoning is completely the other way round? She regards Wilwa as having been doomed by the time you voted, and argues from that that your vote on Eomer couldn't have been wolf-on-wolf:

So, that really doesn't make that much sense. She's talking as though wolf-on-wolf is something you only do when your packmate's clearly for it anyway– but she ought to know that's not so.

Nerwen - could go either way. I believe Greenie's vote for Wilwa looks way dodgier than Nerwen's.

Pitch - voted for me but I think he was thinking along my lines .i.e. didn't want to vote Wilwa or Loslote. Understandable, maybe a bit bandwaggony, but inclined to say innocent.

Sally - hard to be objective because I think she's being unfair on me and my vote for Greenie. It also looks a bit like she's feeling the pressure of being suspected.

Lottie - gave a pretty big gifted hint yesterday but is still alive. Pretty suspicious of her now.

Greenie - still suspicious of her. She's very smooth, and her post yesterday where she seemed to want to narrow it down to Wilwa and Loslote, after both of them had received a vote, strikes me as manipulative.

skip - could be going over my head but good chance that he's innocent.

Fea - probably innocent.

Agan - surprisingly, I don't find her very suspicious. She's taking way, way too much for one thing (despite claiming that she's busy) and it looks to me like she's being really open.

Eomer - probably makes no sense.

If Greenie's innocent, and obviously depending on what happens in the night, I'd kill Loslote tomorrow.

Sally is my other most suspicious person.

See you.

[Aganzir]

I have to go now, and my opinions haven't really changed much because I haven't had time to, well, change them.

++skip

I'll have to do some serious thinking before being able to determine who in this bunch is a wolf, and I don't really suspect skip of wolvery but he looks like a very possible cobbler to me (for reasons I've mentioned in my previous posts). It's now two wolves & the cobbler against six villagers, and despite the fact that they can't be sure of each other's identities, lynching the cobbler wouldn't do any harm.

See you (hopefully) some time toMorrow.

I'm here and gonna give this an hour or so, reading back to try to make some sense of what's been happening. Not too happy about how yesterDay and Night unfolded...

Not so happy about this vote. If you think I'm a wolf, fair enough, but a vote on solely the account of some flimsy cobblery accusation seems suspect.

I mean. like Agan says, the cobbler has no way of knowing the identity of the wolves at the moment. Doesn't this mean that cobbler can just as easily do the wolves harm as he/she can be of help to them, really? In the light of this, going for the cobbler when there are two wolves out there seems odd. But as much as I'd like to quarrel with Agan about this, it looks like she's gone for the Day.

Okay, will do some reading now...

Indeed, it might be argued that if you're the cobbler we should certainly keep you around.

It's not really that odd, if you've got no idea who else to vote– cobblers who survive into the endgame are very dangerous, because then the wolves can reveal openly, and they all vote together.

It is also true, of course, that going after "the cobbler" can be a lupine excuse for failure to hunt wolves.

It might...

True that. Still I'd argue that would be more of a concern for the wolves trying to make sure they don't accidentally kill the cobbler, then a concern for the village trying to actively hunt down the cobbler.

Yes, but what I'm saying is that the cobbler can make an acceptable fallback lynch if you're not sure who else to vote. (Wolves, as I also said, may also hunt the cobbler to look useful.)

EDIT:X'd with Sally.

No, because there were people who suspected Eomer. Thus, voting him could (and in fact did) put up fairly high on the potential lynch list very quickly. At least four people had previously said that they suspected, didn't trust, etc. Eomer. If Lottie is his packmate and she knows there is a possibility that people will jump onto her vote, would she really vote for her packmate, especially when she could just sit still and wait for Wilwa to die? I don't think so.

I could be wrong, of course, but I don't see Lottie making that move at that time.

She will probably get my vote toDay.

I think this is interesting, considering that before she wasn't sure about whether I was wolf hunting or a wolf myself, and now she seems certain that I was deflecting. She seems to have just magically made the decision just so she can vote me with a semi-clear conscience and have a good "case" on me. Bwah?


*blinks* Heh. It's been a while since I've been a regular ordo. I forgot how much I focus on making sure people suspect wolves rather than me. I do so hate for people to waste their time on frivolous accusations. Then again, at this point I'm thinking Greenie's likely a wolf, so that's comforting.

All right, that makes more sense.

Okay, looking at how the voting and discussion unfolded yesterDay there is one thing that makes me stop to wonder.

The whole thing just sort of died out after Wilwa got her third vote (by me, terribly sorry about that!), didn't it? Here's how it went down:

Wilwa votes for Loslote

Nerwen votes for Wilwa

Boromir votes for Sally

Green votes for Wilwa (2)

skip votes for Wilwa (3)

Now we know that Wilwa and Boro were innocent and their motivations can't be mistrusted. Me, Nerwen and Greenie vote for Wilwa rather early, for reasons that did turn out to be faulty, but were rather clearly expressed early on. Then nothing really happened up until the DL.

Thing is, with the knowledge that Wilwa was an ordo, any wolves left to vote at that point would have been perfectly happy just sit back and waiver back and forth in indecision, wouldn't they? Their hands clean and all that.

Now I'm not saying that Nerwen and Greenie are necessarily innocent, but there's just something about the situation that makes me think that there were no wolves among the Wilwa-voters. Could be wrong, of course, yet:

Yes. Elf was a wolf, remember?
