It isn't a bandwagon, but he certainly pushed Sally to the front with his declaration (joke or not) to vote for Sally based on her second post. Like I said earlier this could be a way to get the village to look away from others and focus in on one person. It could also be a joke that no one got.

And Greenie you mentioned I suspect both Sally and Bom, but that I believe it's one or the other. I can't see any advantage for two wolves to be making a declaration that they'd be killed, modfired, withdrawn by the 6th AND to have a fellow wolf bring up the idea of killing them based on that.

I think Bom looks worse. No one has really spoken today and so little has any substance. If I could vote for everyone isn't being helpful or at least trying to add I'd vote for most everyone who has spoken. This quiet village is making it hard to formulate any real opinions. And for now I stand by mine.

People have said I look wolfish for what I've said about Sally. I'm grasping at straws to get the ball rolling, so whatever. I still don't know if I believe she's innocent. My biggest problem is she did this in-game rather than on the admin thread and she seems utterly self-possessed. If this game had a cobbler I'd say it was Sally. She claims her actions can confuse the wolves, but I see it can be confusing for the village too.

I doubt I'll vote for Sally today. I don't trust her, but Bom looks worse for his actions.

I will be leaving my house in two or three hours and I don't have any assurances I will be near a computer to vote closer to the DL. I'd love to see more, but if there's a flood of conversation I'll be just as lost as I am now when it's time for me to go for the day.

Not speaking at all is hardly helpful either. I would prefer a bit of chat to silence or even a lot of regurgitation. At least you get what someone says for themself rather than trying to look helpful but not actually saying anything.

I don't know what Sally is playing at though. It is ten days til she says she has to go and in a game this size it is unlikely to be an issue. And apart from the ethics of participating in a game knowing you may not be able to see it through, I can't see any benefit of drawing attention to it so far in advance. I may be being thick but I can't see it being a helpful tactic for any role we have in the game. A hunter needs to get themselves killed to fulfil their purpose but we don't have one and it would be impossible for a Hunter to be in a position to make a good call that early in the game.
