That wall of text made my eye twitch. He should be banished to his own QT thread as punishment.

Or we can both abstain until the DL and see what the other half of the thread comes up with as the "known wolf" vote.
Or, you could abstain and I would vote, in which case my vote would count over Rikae's and Kit's unless they pre-plan and band together.

Do you vote for a controversial player? For someone not widely suspected? For someone quiet? For someone who was once suspected but is not anymore? For the most suspected person at the moment? For a person never really suspected seriously? For someone that the GT has associated close with you as a potential mate? Or for someone who they decide cannot possibly be your mate? Are you triple bluffing or quadruple bluffing? And which one of these is the guiding principle?

What they don't realize is that the level of bluff rises as the stakes fall, and one QT vote 2h before DL accomplishes, well, not much. How high can we set the bar?

PS. More butter!

Err, nope? Wolves don't need to signal the QT anymore. What is Legate doing over here?

Also, his *pinging* almost made me read that as Pitchie's post. At what point did pinging become Pitch's trademark?

[Galadriel55]

At this point my curiosity is overwhelming my caution. Does nobody else hear a screaming cacophony of "Hunter" from a particular person?

I am quite tempted by this plan. Consistency from the QT is a good thing, right? And as a "messing with their heads" option, I can't think of anything better.

Except for this one, because letting the "evil" QT feed them a "good" vote sounds like hecka fun.

(It could by stymied by Team Good also refusing to vote, of course. Wouldn't that be wild?)

The irritating thing is, I feel like I might have spotted the Seer. If I thought the pack would read the message right, I might just straight-up vote for them to send it, but... well, I don't think that.

Why yes, I am so bad at this game that I posted "hey, totes expecting the rest of the pack to email me today!". That's definitely what I meant. No other possible way I could've meant those words.

Sorry, but... I'm okay with people assuming the worst about my posts. I'm rather put out at them assuming the stupidest.

That said:

Snort. Because my agenda-pushing skills are so strong, right?

I am a broken record:

a) You can do that?

b) I did reply!

c) I really don't think 'to see if they might come from wolves' is as difficult a sentence as people are making it out to be. It's a direct working-from-home synonym for 'I've been checking my coworkers to see if they might be wolves'.

The explanation is clear: the wolves are stirring this up to try and mislynch me! :O

... wait...

I wonder if we spotted the same gifted. Except I am leaning Hunter, because this individual seems a bit bluff to be a true Seer. Taking some risky stances, and baddie trapping in the open on D1.

I hear you, Lottie.

Hey, InnoCuties, if you want to choose who the QT votes for, get in there quick. Otherwise it'll just be Brinn again.

No no no, please DON'T be as chatty as the last 2 Days, I am at work today and would fall absolutely completely behind if they started chatting just now. After the QT DL - fine, chat away, as long as my job is done.

I will have a vote template ready to fill for just before DL. I hope work does not distract me enough to miss it.
