Agreed. Wonder how they got there.

O....kay....Not what I expected at all.

Kath · 05-13-2020, 01:05 PM

Rune? That is a surprise!

I was holding on to see what the QT vote would be, but I do have to go, and I don't have time to look into the possible reasoning behind this, so I will go with what I said earlier.

Well, at least she's consistent.

x/d with Pitch

Could lightning strike two Days in a row? There are some sharp people over there, no question. It isn't the way I would have voted toDay, but then I seem to recall saying that yesterDay....

x/d with Lottie

Thinlómien · 05-13-2020, 01:07 PM

I am also very surprised.

I'm taking this as "stop taking Rune's innocence for granted" at the very least.

But enough reason to do a legate180 and vote him?

Ehhhhhh.........

I need to think this over. Possibly look at Rune's posts if I have the time (there aren't that many and they aren't that long).

edit: xed with the last three

Boromir88 · 05-13-2020, 01:10 PM

Fascinating...

Hmm, well maybe I can do a look through Rune. Yesterday I was already suspicious of Lhuna. Maybe just a knock on our head saying Rune's been passed over/fallen off the side of the road lately, should get discussing him.

It would take a lot more than the QT vote today to get me seriously considering Rune.

Pitchwife · 05-13-2020, 01:06 PM

Dang. How likely is it that Lhuna decided this vote?

Don't the innocents have a majority? Lhuna would only have the power to break a tie.

Yes. I meant whether there was a tie and she broke it. But we can't know that.

Inziladun · 05-13-2020, 01:12 PM

QT contains:

G55 (Cobbler), Rikae (Innocent), Huey (Infector), Kit (Ranger), Sally (Hunter), Legate (Innocent), Lhuna (Infector), and Lal (Innocent).

Five Innocents against three baddies.

x/d with previous four

Possible but I would say quite unlikely. Only if the dead innocents made a mess, basically.

I can't see them splitting their votes. Surely there was a bloc against the evil contingent.

Loslote · 05-13-2020, 01:17 PM

At this point, I would be willing to vote Rune, Ka, or maybe Eonwe. I don't want to vote Zil right now - I don't know how much I believe that both he and Lhuna were involved in the Kit thing in the same way.

All it would have taken is an early innocent vote for Rune, three baddies pile on that, votes are tied, Lhuna breaks it. It's possible.
But assuming the innocents voted wolf!Rune conventiently happens to work in your favour, doesn't it?

Then again, I wonder whether calling him Rune Son of Bjarne, Son of Marx might indicate that the final vote was Legate's, as he has referred to Rune and Kath as Marx and Kant a few times. Though I guess it might also be a joke from Nog.

I don't think that's how the math works.

Innocent (Rikae, for example) votes Rune.

Huin/Lhuna/G55 all jump on and vote Rune.

Mac/Sally/Kit/Legate/Lalaith can vote someone else as a bloc of 5.

Now, if they didn't do that, I guess it's possible, but still, they must have known many of us were taking the QT vote as innocent-based.

They managed to vote for Lhuna yesterDay, I think we have to assume they're working together fairly well and are sending us very deliberate signals.

Especially after their advice was taken yesterDay, with dramatic results.

x/d with Lottie, who makes the same point

Right, I was working with the wrong number (omitting Mac).

I'm not ready to vote Rune quite yet, but I could go with either of Ka or Eönwë (duly noted about Morgoth's Breath).
