OK, I think we're indeed discussing semantics here, but the thing is - the way I see it, the one specific argument was, at that point, "the whole idea".

What I said about Gal - which you think was reaching and a reason to vote for me - was actually a question as to whether she is a or b... and what I said about Lottie was making an interpretation of her words - of which you made your own...
Concerning Gal - the whole bringing up of that question (whether Gal's offhand statement that her schedule happens to be less busy during Night phases is a sign of wolvery or not) seemed rather pointless to me. It just wasn't, in my opinion, a statement that could in any possible way be a wolf slip; therefore, even voicing it as an option as likely as it being just a comment on her timetable seemed and still seems fishy to me. Concerning Lottie - yes, we both made interpretations of her words, I'm not denying that. But that doesn't mean I can't still find your interpretation rather opportunistic.

No! I brought that up for two reasons. First, because when someone asks me a question I expect they want an answer, late or no; second, because I don't think it's a very valid argument against anybody that they don't take part in a certain conversation.

PS. I hope I have not been "unkind" as you said back there. That has not been my intention.
I know it wasn't so I didn't take it badly, but just wanted to let you know that it could be taken that way.


EDIT: x-ed with Nog, Pitch, and Shasta

Well, it does merit lynching her sooner or later... I was quite annoyed and confused about the way she strongly defended me yesterDay - but at the same time very happy because she was right of course and was in no way going to open this discussion back then.

Pitch is so logical and reasonable that it's almost scary. I sincerely wish he's on our side.

Bleh. Really need to go to bed now. I probably won't surprise anyone with this one -

That depends which side you're on. And at the moment I'm rather worried by getting that much trust. Like Nog said in #148, those who are nicest to you...

Nog, if you're fooling me this time, I swear I'll sneak into Finland somehow and put explosives in your cigarettes.

So I'm afraid I can only pop on for a moment before I have to leave - I still haven't finished the reading and I've got less than an hour before it needs to be done.

I am feeling much better about Greenie after toDay's posting, and even Nog's posts are feeling more like a frustrated innocent than a wolf...and I feel good about Shasta and Pitchie, too. Basically...who's up for an Agan lynch?

sally said she'd be back before DL, and I'm inclined to wait still a little for her. Which leaves the self-declared cobbler (Bom), the backstabber and the backstabbée.

EDIT: xed with G55 and Lottie.

So the people playing (other than me) and available for lynching if we disregard those you can't say anything and Kit (for obvious reasons now):
Aganzir
Greenie
Lottie
Pitch
Shasta


At this point I must admit I'd rather see you all face another Day and let those silent submarines take the hit as this game will become very dull and boring if even few of those who actually post and talk are lynched... whatever the cost of that decision might be.

Let me hear what you think.

And I really need to vote quite soon. Really, this time.


EDIT: X'd with Greenie - now self-preservation mode says "vote Greenie"... oh my... gets too complicated.

Nine votes (possibly) to come.

Kit -> Greenie
Greenie -> Nogrod

I kind of agree - but as we know, that always begs the question, are we trying to make "too easy" decisions? If Bom would be innocent I'd hate to have been part of his lynching - but then again not playing isn't kind of in the spirit of the game either.

I might be. But the problem is that she will come back and I need to go to sleep, pronto - and I can see her speaking you all (especially those who will / may come in at the late stages) away from that. Possibly ending in my own lynching which I preferred not to happen.

But I'd feel better voting Agan than Greenie. I still suspect Greenie and I think I have good reasons for it. It's just that I started wawering with my thoughts reading her posting late toDay... although her vote pick still screams to me she was just sweet-talking only to vote from wolvish grounds.

Gah.
