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).

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...

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.

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?


edit: xed with everyone after Boro

We'll see that in ten minutes...

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

Now that I'm able to be on I may as well live my last moments up and proclaim my innocence even if it isn't believed.

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 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...
