You're right! That's a pretty good argument against trying to lynch a revealed Gifted. So, what do we do? Looks to me like random voting would probably be just as good as anything else at this point.

Well not really random, it doesn't mean we should completely put it off! I would just formulate it the way that random vote does not matter this time as much as it does normally (if we lynch a Gifted, it's not a disaster). And at the same time it in a way matters a lot more... but we cannot know the result until we have it.

Honestly, if we knew which role the Heir gets when he/she "rises", then it'd be far better... not to complain against our brilliant Mod, but this is just a mess.

Anyway, I just thought of, once again, of course, the problem that in fact we don't really need so much to lynch a Wolf now... but then again, still better to lynch a Wolf than an Ordo... well possibly... okay, okay, enough speculation, the scenarios are so many... I will just vote.

EDIT: x-ed with Nog

If lynching a wolf doesn't help, and we can't find out who the gifteds are, perhaps we should go for the uncommunicative? As terrible as that sounds, we can at least keep those who are helpful. :/

Should I feel terrible for saying that?

Well then.

Ms. Hubbard will get the D1 free-pass, even if I have to say the slightly more serious suspicions on her in the early posting were not totally ungrounded. But anyway.

Also I don't remember Nessa that well - or how many games has she played. I'd say pass toDay as well, especially for her last post about the "uncommunicative" ones. *high fives*

Sally seems to be the most uncommunicative thus far but I wouldn't like to vote for someone who hasn't said anything but could as well say after I leave.

Greenie seems oddly out of the clue - not all of the time but several times. Which means nothing, actually (busy?). More or less the same goes with Wilwa (the same explanation as well?).

Careful ones? Eomer and Inzil, and naturally Legate. One of them should be a wolf...

Lottie makes sense but her activeness makes me a bit worried (all those funny YouTube -clips and that - like she wishes very much to be liked, that in case of choice she'd get the sympathy-points).

Checking back, I'm not that suspicious of Boro after all, as he said he's busy toDay. He's holding the brake on to be sure but maybe, just maybe, it's the RL.

Lommy speaks probably the most sense here. And still the way she started with that narrative about her not knowing the game had started (possibly willing to let us understand she had not received a PM to notify her) and the discussion with Greenie really looks like something I'd not think an innocent would do. Why to take that posture about your innocence in your first post of the game?

And then there is Nerwen who overdid it like I said in my previous post. And why all that wannabe-voting? Just to look like someone who doesn't care if someone suspects you for acting randomly? I mean it's not that good a joke after all...

A cigarette to collect my thoughts. And then a vote.

It's past time for me to start seriously thinking about my vote. I think Nessa makes sense in suggesting we lynch someone uncommunicative. I'm not sure, though, if she meant 'uncommunicative' as in 'absent' (which might be considered unsportsmanlike) or 'uncommunicative' as in 'not productive' (which I'm more than fine with).

So let's see:

Won't vote for:
Elronhubbard - Won't vote her since it's her first game.
Nessa - Is this her first game too, or have I just not played with her before? Either way, I won't vote her.

The two I have some kind of moral dilemma with:
Sally - Absent; wouldn't like to vote her until she shows up. Did she say something about internet problems?
Nerwen - Can't say she's been productive, but to be fair, she was around at the time of Day when nothing productive could really be said.

And the rest have all been posting on topic, at least a little, or a lot in some cases, and whether I agree with what they say or not I have nothing really to say about their possible alignments. In sum, all sensible and cute and I don't want to vote any one of them.
Wilwa
Lottie
Lommy
Boro
Eomer
Inzil
Nogrod
Legate


So basically, I don't want to vote anyone. I would love to reread but it's outrageously late and I seriously need some sleep.

For the record, I hate this deadline.


EDIT: x-ed since Lommie's epic NOOOOOOOOOOO! <3

More like no internet at all. The only way I can get online? My blackberry.

I'm on now though, and I'll do what I can while I'm here (at my mum's doing laundry).

Well, your observation is pretty justified since I am currently both clueless and busy.

Also, Eomer? Why Legate? Or, is there a reason other than that we gotta kill someone?

I simply see more of a wolvish look in his posts. Nothing substantial, though. Or maybe I'm subconsciously detecting a Hunter-vibe in him.

No, you misunderstand me. I wasn't around at all so I wouldn't have known the game had started even if I had got a role PM so I was just worried I had gotten a role PM which required Nightly action and missed Night1. So, the conversation doesn't prove (or disprove) my innocence/guilt. At most it suggests I'm not fellow wolves with Greenie. It was just a funny story to share and an example of the extent of my confusion...

Summary

Wilwa - under the reindeer. Quite honestly no idea but more positive than negative vibes, maybe.
Lottie - active and helpful but maybe even too nice as Nog said.
Boro - I don't remember anything he said except that he suspects me for some vague reasons. No good, Mr88, my bororadar doesn't flash innocent - but not guilty either, given your inactivity this far.
Sally - hasn't been around, or...?
Nerwen - weird and overtly bantery and slightly aggressive. Err???
Elronhubbard - kind of touchy, but maybe we should give her the newbie pass.
Eomer - sneaky but maybe more innocent than guilty.
Greenie - no read. Seems slightly confused but eager to make a point.
Inzil - funny (in the ordinary sense of the word). But that's it, mostly.
Nogrod - philosophering all around in a slightly artificial manner. Makes me raise my eyebrows a bit.
Legate - philosophering around in sort of "I have already given up" manner. Not sure what to make of it.
Nessa - chirpy. Sort of tries to make people like her? Anyway I'd be sad to see her go before I have had enough time to study her and save the data in my werewolf lorebook for next time we play together.

Summa summarum: I don't seem to be suspecting anybody. Tough luck, especially as I'd prefer to vote and be gone in half an hour.

Do you reckon there's a back-up heir, in case he/she chokes first? There must be.

I was about to vote when the exchange between Lottie #26 and Zil #29 caught my eye. I spent a time pondering whether there is something or not...
Check it with keener eyes (too late now for me).

I do hate the DL as well...

Blah. Between the messing around and not taking the initiative vs. trying to look pleasing and involved, I'll pick the pleasing one. That's at least a reason to vote and I need to go to sleep now.

Trying to rationalise my feelings right now...

Nerwen overdid whatever she thought she was doing. Yes it was early and she just toyed around as there was little else to do... I see. But still the way she made it (and she could have done something else as well, at least instead of her last ones when there was some beginnings of a discussion coming forwards). It looks a little like that famous "X toys around too carelessly, can't be a wolf" -trick.

Let me repeat: it looks A LITTLE like that.

Funnily I both share Legate's concern on Boro - and Boro's concern on Lommy, which in turn seems to be the reason for Legate to suspect Boro in the first place...

Then again, I'd hate to lose anyone of them on D1 voting that is this odd.

Needs to do a fast check on others.
