One. Look at the time-stamps of my posts opening N1 and D1 - that's DL.

That explains why people are starting to state lynch options already! In that case, the only real suspect I've got toDay is G55, so I'll probably vote her.

Mine as well, although I could also vote Bom. I won't be voting Boro or Agan today, nor Rune for that matter.

Quick impressions of the Agan-Boro matter leave me unlikely to vote either of them.

Agan still comes across as fairly shiny to me (which from past experience ought to make me nervous ).

And I see what Boro's about, even if I don't agree. At any rate, he's been quite active, so let's see what else he does. Hopefully the difficult matter he's dealing with will quickly resolve.

Now for the others.

I actually came home some twenty minutes ago after a heavy two days of Youth Philosophy Convention I was one organiser of and sat down to my coach to have a small glass of brandy watching some College basketball before going to sleep... Oops.

Okay. I'll take a quick scroll. Half an hour left, right?

Why, tearing somebody apart together with you, sallywolf.

No, I am not serious, I am unlikely to survive till the Night at all, and I am innocent.

On the matter of Inziladun; Galadriel is quite right in her observations. At the time she writes post #60 Inziladun’s contributions have been helpful, but only on subjects like emoticons and names, and could very well be a cautious BN. However later Inzil does start to produce posts with more substance and the effort does start to look more genuine (#81 and #110). However it is curious how Sally is being mentioned as a possible lynch candidate and BomT isn’t, maybe Inzil knows something I don’t about their normal behaviour, but to me they were both “submarines”. Another odd thing is the vote for Galadriel, sure Inzil points out that the case against Galadriel has merit, but also says that it would be “too easy” and considers it a good BN strategy.


This leaves me with a few questions, why not go for BomT when it became clear that Sally was not a realistic option?

On the other hand I also have to ask, would a BN point out that it was “too easy” to vote Galadriel? Seems unlikely unless it was an attempt to send a message.

You know, although your suspicion of me seems justified, you haven't considered that if you compare the amount of content provided by most other players to the amount of content provided by me you'll find them approximately equal. I've been much more chatty than others, though, so the number of posts kinda dilutes the impression.

Edit: xed since the post I quoted

Ah so we face the hard decision: should we vote for a suspicious-ish (and with day 1 reasons at that) loud player, or a submarine?

Personally I quite like to sink submarines, but once I've got it into my head that someone is suspicious, they will keep irking me until I know for sure.

My problem with your posting isn't so much that there's no substance, but that it seems to be trying to give the impression that there is, in fact, substance by bulking up what little substance there is - spreading one point over five posts without adding anything new at any point along the line, throwing out little comments that feel helpful but actually don't matter, that sort of thing. There's a difference between falsely "helpful" posts like yours and silly posts that make no pretense to helpfulness at all, in that the falsely "helpful" posts feel suspicious and silly posts feel more like something an innocent might do.

EDIT: xed with Agan
