Which has definitely been the case toDay.

But, if we're talking about voting earlier, are we in fact going back to Legate's points from Day 1 again?! The poor thing must be rolling in his quarantine bed.

I mean, now that we know the majority of the QT is innocent it might actually be sensible to vote early, since that means that known innocents can magnify a vote that they believe to be for someone evil (of course, there may be enough misdirection from the Evils to throw it off, but we can hope...).

Just came across this in my Greenie reread:

The rest of her posts toDay all seem fair and helpful, though the explanation of her vote to Legate seems a bit wolfish. Wolves pre-think how their votes can be made to sound all reasonable before the Day starts, and I get a bit of that vibe there.
That's what I thought too. Lots of Greenie's posts have been "safe" that way.
What can I say? Sally and Inzil both cast votes that look like they could have been motivated by trying to save Huin, both bring this up themselves in a fairly shifty way, and neither of their interactions with Huin contradicts a read of them as fellow wolves. Sally didn’t interact with Huin at all and has played generally safe and uncontroversial, while Inzil brought up an obvious Ranger slip, and was suspected by Huin on both days in a way that would just pass for safe wolf-on-wolf. I’d say both have fairly strong cases against them, so I’m not surprised if they are “pretty much universally suspected”.
Looks fair enough at first sight, but would look even fairer if you hadn't used sally's 'safe suspect choices' as a point against her in #621. Double standard much?

I also agree with Greenie that the tunnel-vision on Lommy. While I agree that she's very suspicious and is one of my top vote picks for the Day (along with Boro and Zil), it definitely seems to have eased pressure on others (so that they don't have to defend themselves), and has almost certainly given cover for Infectors to attack (or defend in theory, but I don't think I've seen anyone do this) a possible packmate (i.e. Lommy) - they can just blend in with the crowd in this.

I was just poking her a bit. Voting earlier really isn't a problem for me

This would be most workable if everyone here voted before the QT DL. I'm not sure all could manage it.

x/d with Pitch and Steve

@Cuties If I was going to vote right now, I would vote for one of:

+- Boro
+- Lommy

I'll do this, then, for the QT:

or

Well, even if not everyone gets to vote, they could show that they support a specific vote candidate by strengthening a specific vote of someone who has already voted.

In any case, it's not certain I'll be here for the DL, so:



++Boro




edit: x-ed with Kath and a vote for me.

I'm so confused about how I feel about this list. Parts of it I love (Boro, Lommy, Greenie, Kath, Lottie to a lesser extent) and parts of it I hate (Pitch, Rune, Ka and Lalaith to a lesser extent.)

What does it all mean?!
