This sounded wierd, let me clarify while I can...

What I meant was that I found your "stab-in-the-dark" against me yesterday rather suspicious - if you were an unwiser wolf you doubtless would have gone for Ang or Esgall who were no-shows yesterday, but you went for a side-show instead. Your insistence upon me today seems to point towards wanting folks to think that you don't change horses in the middle of the stream.

Also - if I make it through to tomorrow, things are looking in RL that I won't be able to post Saturday.

At this point of time, I find Oddwen... quite innocent.

I shall wait and see the other votes.

Quick, someone tell me! I've just arrived back, I want to read through all the posts but not sure if I have time before voting closes. Have I got 5 minutes, or 1 hour and 5 minutes?

It's 11:00 EDT, there should be one hour left.

Oh mussy me, I'll just have to hope I have an hour...is our esteemed moderator about to assure me?
Anyway for what it's worth I don't particularly suspect Oddwen and I think the phantom is more likely to be a wolf than Eomer. I am also suspicious of Saurreg but a vote for him will be pointless at this stage.

I still don't get it...

As of time of typing, GMT time is now 1511 hrs (?) and my local time as reflected by the site as 2313 hrs (correct).

Shouldn't we have at least 1hr 45 mins left?

It's true that there are a few more votes left.

Enough to get Saurreg lynched, which is desirable as far as I'm concerned.


EDIT TO ADD: GMT actually means GMT+1 in summertime, I think.

45 mins left.

Well, if I'm wrong, I truely apologize. But really, my vote is not a matter of keeping the village from thinking I'm changing horses. I very nearly decided to go for Saurreg today, but I wanted to see how the theories played out and this seemed like the best way to test it.

To clarify, by not voting for Eomer or Phantom, I needed to pick someone who looked able to snatch away a majority and I thought that a possible no-show who had a vote already and *could* possibly get a majorty would be a better way to try and stop a phantom, Eomer, Oddwen triple-lynching than going for someone unlikely to get any votes. Not a wasted vote by going for someone I thought would die anyway, but a way to put a majority to someone who would die anyway to keep us from losing two villagers instead of one.

I realize I look pretty suspicious now, but I genuinely voted in the way I hoped would help the village most, even if my reasoning turns out to be horribly wrong.
