Although I am a bit curious as to why Boro didn't vote Glirdan.

In any case, I'm especially interested in G55 and Eonwe. I don't remember either of them stating why they were voting who they were voting (Eruhen and sally respectively) - granted, I did skim in my rush to vote yesterday, but I think they could both do with a re-state.

Steve gave no reason; G55 voted Sally as a "submarine". That's common enough for emergency votes– but indeed, you'd think people who were simply trying save a claimed gifted would go for someone else who already had votes. I suppose they might have lost track, though.

EDIT:X'd with G55.
EDIT2: Correction: Steve voted for Sally, and G55 for Eruhen, both as "submarines".

That's not right. I said I'd vote for a submarine, then followed it up with a Sally-vote (with a few x-posts in between). Then, after that, G55 says that she will be voting for submarines and votes Eruhen.

I didn't vote Sally. Eonwe did.

Edit: my bad, I read on and see that he just said the same thing.

G55 and Eonwe–

Sorry about that– it's because you both gave your reasons separately from your vote posts.

A first vote for someone who doesn't have any votes yet by DL time couldn't be called otherwise, so I won't argue.

Okay, I can understand, maybe, the last-minute-vote-throwaway, in all the confusion. But that bolded part just blares "wolf" to me. You didn't want to take sides?

Why not?

Either you didn't think Boro was lying, or you did. If you thought Boro was lying, why not vote him? If you didn't, why not vote to save him? A vote on Eruhen at that point accomplished exactly nothing - your only reason for voting was that she was "under your radar".

Good question.

Before taking sides, one needs to consider what sides there are and which one is best to take. If I would have voted for someone that was already named just for the sake of taking a side, it would have been as blind a vote as Glirdan's, even though it was half a day later.

You seem to have latched onto my vote, and are trying to find something wrong with it. Lets say I voted for either Glirdy or Boro - would you then say that I saved a packmate from being lynched by voting someone who already had votes?

Anyways, you're onto the wrong person: no wolf here. Although you're as likely to believe that as Legolas is to shoot and miss.

Neither. I wasn't sure about him. I'm still not entirely sure about him, but as I said, now I am more inclined to believe him. (I know this isn't really related to the argument, but I'd laugh my head off if he turns out to be a clever fake revealing wolf )

Steve's vote accomplished just as much, but you don't press him about it.

?

PS: let me guess, now you're going to accuse me of being defensive?

(OOC: Sorry I'm so late. Won't be posting anything profound this evening. I'm about half dead with weariness.)

I find it really disturbing that Inzil is actually dead...and it's not just a fake body with fake blood.

Anyway, about the current debate...eeh...it was crazy for a first day voting. Boromir's right in that it is inexcusable that Glirdan was lynched with only two votes. I haven't got much to say, I was so busy writing an analysis of Boromir that I missed his reveal until I was reading up the posts I'd crossed posted with, and then I got so caught up in seeing who was being voted for, and reading that Boromir was the Hunter, that I completely missed deadline. I glanced down at the clock right at 7:00 and then was going to see about who to vote for when Lottie called deadline.

I really think that most votes were cast out because no one really felt they had anything to vote on. Quite honestly, I expected either Bom or Boromir to go yesterday, what with them being at each other's throats all day. Instead, who goes, but Glirdan, who hardly posted at all, and didn't offend a single person. In the wrong place at the wrong time, I guess.

For the record, Galadriel the fifty-fifth, I believe what you say about not know who to vote for. At least, right now when I'm half asleep and extremely tired, I do. Maybe I'll think differently in the morning.

I'm going to bed. G'night.

I already said I'm looking at you both for the same reason. The fact that you said you "didn't want to take sides" is what drew me to you first.

So, instead, you threw away a vote on someone who very likely wouldn't be lynched, instead of voting to save the claimed Gifted role? Eh. Seems odd to me, still.

Given that I believe Boro's hunter claim, if you had voted for Glirdan, then we wouldn't be having this conversation, .
