Funny you should say that since it's been precisely us who didn't join a bandwagon that have drawn scrutiny toDay...

Also, I never like the argument that "one of the wolves probably joined the bandwagon and the other didn't" because while it may make mathematical sense, the wolves are not some programmed evil guys but individual players who make their own decisions based on their personality and whims.

I wanted to give Kit the benefit of the doubt, as she seemed busy in RL, but doing that with Mac turned out a bad idea. I was, and have been, leery of her safe-looking votes two Days straight. Can it be that easy? It was with Mac, but will lightning strike twice?

At this point I think Eomer an unlikely Lion. Same for Sally, who I would expect to be a lot more active as a baddie. And where is Steve?
If we had a Cobbler at this point, I would be tempted to say it's Boro. He really is being opaque, but I wouldn't think a Lion would want to do anything to draw such attention.

That's true, but trying to guess motives from actions is all we can do. At some point you have to say "x is likely, y not so much".

Do I read some contempt here?

Talking of wagons then a bit.

YesterDay got off with a mini ZilWagon (2 votes by Eomer & Lottie).

Then MacLion got a vote (from known innocent Nerwen).

It was followed by a mini EncaiWagon (2 votes by Rikae & Kitanna).

Then in close succession and some cross-voting we had two votes for both Zil (Wyth & Encai) and MacLion (Zil & Gil).

After Mac understandably voted for Zil, Greenie, Myself and Eönwë lynched MacLion.


So people did vote kind of in pairs!

Only people who didn't were Copper (the very first vote of the Day to Eomer) and one of tha last votes by Lommy (to Kitanna).

[Inziladun]

I wanted to stick around longer, but this internet thing means I should vote while I can.

I'm really not convinced about Kit by any means, but I don't have anyone that I'd feel more comfortable voting. Her voting has been safe, and there was the infamous "slip", and the stuff with Mac...

++Kit

[Encaitare]

I have the feeling everyone is just waiting in the wings to see how people are going to vote, so I suppose I should just go ahead and do it.

++Kitanna

In addition to points that Greenie, Nogrod, and Lommy have made, she was a Skip voter, and I think it's weird how she latched on to a silly comment of mine.

EDIT: Yep, here come the votes. Cross-posted with Boro, Gil, Cop, and Inzil.

Cautious and quiet, me? Are you reading the thread at all?

Nog, interesting notions about wagons. Not sure if they tell us much, though. This game is quite big so people have been seemingly trying to avoid spreading the vote too much and thus what might have been single random votes in smaller games have been random miniwagons in this game? Maybe?

Oops, sorry. Discontent was what I meant...

[Nogrod]

Okay.

No problem, Princess.

Might it be we are getting the bear's lover?

Well, if it ends the Night kills, then good.

I don't know about Sally, but I'm an ordo who just wanted some ale.

We'll see that in ten minutes...

But if you're true, then, well... Sally's reaction beats me.

[Thinlómien]

Kitanna, whatever else you are, you are a troll. *anxiously waits for DL*

I was just thinking about this discussion, and I think you are right. We might have gotten ourselves a Bear/maiden.

It also gains the wolves a cobbler, which isn't so good. The good news is that the admin thread finally loaded for me and it's not nearly as bad as I'd previously thought (I'd gotten it into my head that the bear would kill someone when his maiden died or vice versa).

...what?? You just confessed?

Curious. Sally, your post is rather weird. Hmm...

Needs to check the rules indeed...

[Nogrod]

What I was trying to say in my former post was then this: there was not only a ZilWagon yesterDay but also a mini EncaiWagon - which interestingly emerged just after MacLion had received his first vote. And I kind of remember there were couple of others voicing some concern on Encai at that time (myself at least, and Lommy or Greenie I think?).

So did Rikae and Kitanna just honestly think Encai looked that suspicious at that time - immediately after Mac's first vote - and just had to vote her then and there (especially Kit's vote aka. the latter one would look a bit dubious)? Or could it be that one of them saw a chance to open up a new Wagon to lessen the stress on Mac?


EDIT: X'd from the votes...
