I know! The difference is that you seemed to consider it as a possibility, whereas I don't - even if I was a SoE it would be so ridiculously paranoid that I don't think it would be an option.

Talking about ironic.. The post otherwise looked very very innocent to me, all except for the bit where you hope it doesn't look suspicious.

It often does, I just thought that it was funny that Nogrod and others normally suspect me when I get easily annoyed and now they think it is odd when I don't.

I think I am slowly getting from my "I have some idea" into the "I don't have any idea"-mode. When it comes to thinking about whom to choose as a Rep, when looking through the list of players, I could think about Lommy or even about Foley again - though first I would like to hear more from her, like, whom she suspects now and so on. I am not so sure if I trust Rune enough to go with my experiment "let's see what he will do if I make him a Rep". Steve is also one possibility, I am not sure about Nerwen... originally, I had good feeling about her, now I have mostly "no feeling", but then, maybe if I saw her vote, it would be what I need to make my compass point to some more obvious direction concerning her.

I think that is one disadvantage to the Rep system; that because not all people vote every Day, you eventually sort of lose the grip of what you feel like about people who haven't been voting anybody for some time, especially if their words are generally neither that suspicious or that innocent-looking, or back and forth.

I think I will spend some time with once again reviewing and reconsidering stuff about people. I would, most of all, however, like to see people posting (especially people like Celuien, of whom I would like to learn more using this Day, or Mira, or even Kath).

Suit yourself Legate, but if anybody feels differently they should feel free to vote for me as a Representative.

I am sorry that I have not been able to make any huge contribution today, but things are pretty stressed. I should have more time to read posts in 5 hours time.

For me, her Day 1 vote and her air of jumpiness the next Day were the main points against her.

As Nerwen said, it wouldn't have been the first time baddies acted so. The comment by Nog in #407 wouldn't seem nearly as overt as all he said about 'leaving Sally to the Seer' and all that, though.

Since you say that, who would have been your first choices?

Soliciting votes, are you? What would your platform be?

However, the comments about phantom and Sally are the ones that contain the actual "Seer-hints"– and Nog's first comment on Day Two suggests he'd dreamed phantom in the Night.

I'd like second, third and fourth opinions on that point, though. Obviously it makes a big difference whether the wolves thought Nog had dreamed phantom already, or was merely going to do so.

(That– before I get ahead of myself– is if they took Nog's comments as Seer-hints in the first place, which of course we don't know.)

Exactly my thoughts.

I think we can quite safely assume they did - OR then they thought we'd think that and were trying to achieve something in that light. The only thing that comes to my mind, though, is phantom seeming innocent.

I don't like it that it has grown so quiet here. Granted, it's not very late yet but there are still very few posts taking into account that this half of the Day is more than halfaway through...

I have a couple minutes to post...

I expected to be raked over the coals by all of you, quite honestly. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that you all don't appear to blame me too much for what happened. Thanks.

I was going to tell why I voted the way I did, but I won't unless you all want to hear, because it would take up some of my very little time, and I don't want to do that.

Question: Do we think that the elves thought Nogrod was the seer based only on what Fea put into the narration?

I was not around on Day2, so I don't know what he said that could have been misconstrued as seer hints. I have my suspcions about somebody else being a seer, but I won't say whom I think it is.

Also...when I have time, I would like to look into Shasta. Sally said she distrusted him, but that may have just been because he voted for her. But if there's another reason she didn't trust him, then I'd like to find out. The problem is, I may not have very much time, so if anyone else thinks it worth while to look at him...please do.

And my brief moments are fulfilled, my few words spoken.

The problem is that as the game wears on, I seem to be getting less and less confident about who I find innocent or guilty.

Anyway, I was going to vote Zil as rep, because I want to see more of him, but since he's already one, and I don't really want him to have too much of a supermacy over the others, I'm going to vote someone else that I wanted to see talk more.



So I'm going to vote:

++Rune

Let's see what he does with the power he so craves.
