WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun.

[THE Ka]

Well, let's see here...

Starting from the beginning, there seems to be at least three distinct relations and votes between players, two of them, I believe are in some way related. As for the other, it's most likely going to boil over into whichever of the first two prove victorious. So, we have two battling and one watching, simply put.

One and two share a suspect, Marcolie, but we have Rune on one reasoning, and Bergil on another. Plus, we have Marcolie voting for Glirdan, who is also voted for by Sleepy.

First to bandwagon on Glirdan (I do consider the second vote bandwaggoning, but not the most suspicious) is Sleepy Ranger, what makes it somewhat suspicious is he didn't speak of suspicions against Glirdan or anyone outright.

I am not going to outright make a statement as to if SR is a wolf or not, but possibly since it was very early in the game, as a voter you would have to pick something that wouldn't be too confusing with the already established vote. Or, someone else is pushing the envelope on this turn out for Glirdan, possibly to cover up another voting plan (?).

First to band on Marcolie is Bergil, never spoke of suspicions against her, only half-heartedly names three others. QUOTE: I don't suspect her in the least' but I must vote for someone'. What is the most interesting, with his vote, he made the 3 way tie. If it was so random, he could've broke the tie or voted for someone else. Bergil being a wolf, didn't care who got it. If this theory is true, then I would have to conclude that Tar-ancalime is an innocent.

Possibly, if something was so random it shouldn't have been so well planned in the way it fell in the concluding count. Either that, as I've mentioned before, there is possibly another voting plan that is in place, but it needs one of the bigger ones to get out of the way first, ect. So, one is true and the other vote isn't, plus we have the other voting plan (most likely werewolf induced) waiting.
So, it's just a choosing of the blue pill or red pill, really.

I'm seeing a reasonable account with the Wayne theory, since with it being the first day and having voting problems (I was another one) usually was a believable answer. Because of this, I believe it pro-longed one of the voting plans, and thus made Rune's vote fall as it did. Since, from what i've read Rune voted possibly before Wayne, though I might be reading it wrong.

One way for me to look at your reasons is that you want to throw attention off yourself because you also did not vote and some still suspect you from yesterday. Or you are at a lose for who to vote for so you picked off the list of those who did not vote.

Doesn't everyone... But, voting problems and time calculations seemed to be rather reasonable the first day of voting. Plus, there is the pressure of declaring a vote, then diving in and hoping your won't drown under a big miscalculation that will immediately throw you into the hot pan of suspicion. But, then again, if you don't vote, your only chance at getting off the suspicion list is to pick a fellow non-voter, since this can be seen as a 'reasonable' vote that the person could be a werewolf, ect. When it doesn't work is when we are able to clear away non-voters through their reasoning. Anyone left who hasn't taken in the opportunity to do so is still on this list, and thus a suspect again.

Non-voting the first night as I have been able to guess was due to two reasons:

- New players unsure of voting, time zone miscalculations, first night pressure, ect.

- Early werewolf tactics and voting plans. The most agreed upon theory of finding out possible suspects (ex. 'werewolf in the crowd').

Now ,the second night should be more reasonable and clear away at least the first reason i've put. If it doesn't I would hold suspicions as well.

Oh, the choices... But ,from looking at evidence supplied by people and themselves, I'm going to cast my vote.

Rune's vote is rather suspicions because either they knew Wayne was going to vote one way or another, or they took advantage of the moment. Plus, there is the fact as to if and when they voted after or before Wayne. It's too shady for me, and I still have alot of confusions about these three voting plans, but I need to stake a vote now, before I spend too much time thinking as I almost did before.

After reading Kit's really helpful posts and everyone else's, (I hate jumping to conclusions, but it's just too early in the game) I am going to have to go with this, because it holds the most evidence:

++ Rune



Sincerely, with most thoughfulness,
