Come now, you know how this dance works. You think it's some cheap injustice because you get caught by a slip of the fingers, a lapse of focus of not carefully combing your words. And the thieves at your door say "ah-ha we got you!" and that's all they harp on because that's all they have. But sometimes that is enough. We both understand the feeling of being robbed right under our nose, it makes our blood boil, but in the end what can you do? Tip your cap and silently think, next time we shall have a different dance.

And what a dance it shall be!

Anyway it's godawfully late (although there's something nostalgic about playing werewolf when the sun is rising) so...

Can't really think about this - or stay up - any longer and intuitively I feel worst about her.

I'm sorry about my lack of participation today, it's the combined result of being busy and having got way way way too little sleep these last several days. I promise to be better tomorrow if I'm still here, and if I'm not, well, do consider taking a look at the people who made it happen. *sprays mouth with silver paint*

Fellow players, our absent (Gwathagor) will not be joining us looking at the other thread. Is there a case for lynching him or would doing Kuru's housekeeping be just lazy? If he is an innocent we save lynching another innocent, if he is a wolf well..great.. if a gifted.. well I suppose Kuru would be less likely to reallocate it if we lynch him rather than leaving him Hors Concours

Don't worry about Gwath.

He's removed and I'll just tell you now that Excel made him an Ordo.

I apologize for my lack of participation today - I've been on the road to a hotel for a lot of it.

We've an hour to go until DL and I'm still not certain who I'm voting for. Most of the suspicions I've had thus far have lessened a bit, save Lottie who I've said I'd rather not vote for toDay on account of she's not here to answer my questions.

I did think Agan was suspiciously jumpy yesterday, but toDay I do think she's made an unanswered point;

(bolding mine)

It may just be Aganwolf grasping at anything and everything to save themselves, but I've had the same reaction when I thought someone was being intentionally rude to me, so I'm probably biased in thinking she's telling the truth here. Of course, as I type this, it occurs to me that I can't think of any reason it can't actually be the truth for an Aganwolf. And Lommy hasn't posted since she said that, either, so it's not as though she's had a chance to answer this.

I may go back momentarily and look at Lommy, actually; something Eomer said recently struck a bit of a chord with me regarding her -

Granted, Agan has hardly gone without notice but Lommy's been fairly laserlike as far as I can tell. I need to go back and see if she's focused on anyone else.

As much this seems like a bad break for us, I think it would be a waste to lynch Gwath. Just let his spirit leave the Barrow and hopefully find some rest.

Agan votes Green, hmm.

Both Green and Mac were listed as suspicious in her previous post, and she did narrow the choice down to them. Mac had 2 votes; Green had 1. Mac has garnered far more attention than Green. We might think voting Mac would give the better chance for Agan to avoid the noose one more time. But I suppose voting for Mac, as he was closest challenger to be today's lynch-candidate, would have looked too suspicious.

Latching on to Legate's strange case against Green might have proved a better option to save her skin; that is, if Green could have turned out to be another sleeper lynch like Nogrod was.
