Really if circumstances didn't make her look innocent, Lommie would look quite guilty! She has admitted her vote was lazy, she has done vague lists saying she can't get a handle on people and generally seems disconnected. Yet her vote pretty much clears her. Funny old game.

Not entirely. I've played in games where wolves quite accidentally Fenrissed a packmate (and then won as "known innocents"). Not that I'm getting any particular guilty vibes off Lommy right now– I'm just saying this as a caution.

EDIT:X'd with Legate.

Okay, not that much to process from the last few posts, or at least not anything that I feel needs to be replied right now. So I have reread Kit's posts. I think now in retrospect, her initial reaction to Sally ("I have to die...") really looks odd - it looks like jumping on the first chance to accuse somebody (Sally and Bom, in this case). Then again, the rest of her posts relating to that do not seem as bad, and might as well reflect her genuine thoughts - as in:

I wonder what should be made of all this flip-flopping with "I suspect sally", next post: "maybe not", next post: "I vote her!" Anyway, since you said you suspected her still today, care to summarise once again what do you base your suspicion on, Kit?

However, in the end, Kit behaves quite systematically, I think - a lot like an ordo who had missed a big part of yesterDay and now is trying all possibilities to determine what to do. I would put her into my yellow zone or something, but she is not really that suspicious to go anywhere too deep.

Sally has provided a convenient "ordo reveal" on Day 1 with ten days until she actually would have to withdraw. She became terrified of Galadriel's defense of her, using the words "scarily supportive" and this stance has been kept up into the beginning of Day 2. She took more effort to try to push a seemingly harmless remark away than Galadriel did in making it. She has hidden behind jokes and ramblings while attacking mostly those who have questioned her or defended her. Since my second post I said I didn't trust her and I didn't flipflop about that. True, I found Bom more suspicious at first, but he completely stopped talking, Sally didn't. And with every post I doubted her more and more.

A short list...

GREEN ZONE
Nogrod - looks fine this far.
Lommy - not really any change from what I have said about her before. Looks fine to me, and the Lottie-lynch still clears her more or less, I'd say.
Nerwen - seems genuine with her posting (ai, ai. This does not look good.)

YELLOW ZONE
Kitanna - what I said above. Not too suspicious after all after reread.
Sally - not enough data right now, I'm afraid.
Nilp - looks more or less okay, the only thing that made me suspect him for a brief moment was the sort of "exchange" with Gal (but it was more like from Gal's part) with her merrily commenting on his posts and concluding that she cannot say anything about him (as in: "We've had a nice chat at Night, but should not continue in daylight."). Otherwise, no problem except for him calling Nogrod "kun" (reminds me of the old saying "If you call a whale 'little one', you probably have a 'big' problem." Or: dear students, please bear in mind that there's a difference between 'kun' and 'Exar Kun'.)
Greenie - there aren't too many of her posts, or not too much she has to say, but I don't see anything particularly eyebrow-rising nor anything particularly obviously-innocentish.
Mithalwen - is totally under the radar now. Like totally. Almost would make it back into the "reset" and grey zone. I should watch her from now on, but I think the problem is that there is veeery little to see even then, looking at her posts.

ORANGE ZONE
G55 - now with questionmarks hovering over her, moving her into the orange zone.
Eomer - actually now I am rather wary of him, like I said above. Is one of those I might vote for toDay.

RED ZONE
vacant right now, but waiting for some good candidates from the above

GREY ZONE
Bom - so, shall there be input?

EDIT: x-ed with a host of votes!!!

Okay, fair enough. Thanks for the summary.

Mith now starts to raise my attention, seriously, also with her vote. What is the tally now? I wonder if it's a throwaway or whatever...

Every male I suffix with 'kun' (if I bother with Japanese honorifics) at all, cos, you know, everyone should call me 'sama'.

Really now, Nilp-chan? And yes, Legate-san, he has a big problem. But nothing an industrial paper shredder wouldn't fix.

Anyway, here:

Prologue
I look at 36 posts, and I shudder. So this shall be abridged.

43
First in-game-like comment.

Attacks Kit's infamous post and states that she's now'#2' on her suspicion list.

Quote:
Very likely of being baddies:
-Bom
-Kit
57
Clarifies why Bom's #1 on her suspicion list.

Distinguishes between accusation and suspicion. (Actually, if you're pointing fingers, however feeble the reason, you're accusing. And you did say (in 43):
Quote:
The only explanation I could come up with is that you [Kit] are a wolf who speaks while plotting who will be the first victim.
So Greenie-sama was 'more or less' right.)

Has the impression that Sally is innocent. Still suspicious of Kit and Bom, but thinks that both of them couldn't be evil.

61
Repeats that Sally doesn't 'sound like a wolf.'

129
Defensive. Well, she has a point about her 'defence' of Sally being exaggerated.

137
A list. (Always a ripe material for analysis.) Highlights:

Her suspicion of Kit moderates (she ends her analysis with ' Interesting (I'm not sure if it's in a good or a bad way...)'.)
Still thinks Sally is 'innocentish'.

Generally a noncommittal list--but there's that DAY 1 benefit-of-doubt thing.

157
Lampshades that she would have voted for Bom or Kit earlier. Says that she could vote for 'Greenie, Eomer, Lommy, and possibly Nilp'.

Thinks that 'Lommy's posts are somewhat fishy' due to her stance on Lottie and decides that she will probably be her candidate.

186
More defensiveness, this time about her vote.

194
Defensive vs Kit's analysis of her post, thens does the rubber-glue thing.

212
Defensive vs Eomer's analysis of her. Then another list. Kit still features prominently on that list.

221
Eomer-lysis. Can't get a clear picture of him.

222
Renews her questioning of Lommy. Doesn't consider Leg's vote baddie-fratricide, but hers could be. States that she would do a Nog-lysis.

226
Continues her discussion with Lommy re her votes yesterday. [Dead herring, dead herring--we have better things to do toDAY.]

233
Thinks Bom is more Ordo than not, due to his absentminded playing style.
Quote:
Suspicions of Bom go down somewhat, though still not dropped.
237
A colour list. Thinks Sally and Leg are innocent, and the closest to suspicion are Nog, Lommy, and Kit. (And Bom, Eomer, and Nilp are 'unknown'.)

239
'Nogalysis'. No conclusion, paints him in a somewhat negative light.

239
Ah, here's the conclusion. Still thinks something's up with Nog's vote, but '[d]espite that, he does not give me a bad gut-feeling, and at most of the time is quite reasonable.'

CONCLUSIONS:
Does not seem Novice-like (well, except for metagame stuff). But does appear like a confused Ordo. So not toDAY.

This is all too... messy. Weird. And all. Including everything.

As in, why can't people vote five minutes earlier? Would be easier.
