Whoa is me!!! So much has happened since I woke up! I don't see the point today of making long winded posts because there is nothing to go on. People who post alot with alot in them tend to get lynched soon because they bring themselves into the spot light more...But then again all the quietness makes me nervous!

I will have to vote in an hour or so....so I wish there was some one else around to help with some speculations.

Sleepy, you have taken everything I said out of the context in which I said it.

Quote:
Compared to that I find Firefoot's idea of voting for the last person to vote saner but not something I would do yet it doesn't earn her a spot on my suspicion list.
Firefoot never suggested we vote for the last voter. Firefoot suggest we select four names at random and divide our vote between those. How can you vote for the last person to vote anyway? You can't vote before that person has voted, but you can't vote until everyone else has either.

Quote:
What are you trying to say? We should stop making theories and analysis because that arouses suspicion? We should keep our posts short and shouldn't post often just because it arouses suspicion? Posting less, short and nothing to do with the game also arouses suspicion.
Being in this village, today, arouses suspicion.

As for Gandalf, I did not mean to criticize the brevity of his post at all. I was questioning why Folwren felt that post made her suspicious. And I intended "overly wordy" as a crack at myself. I'm a windbag.

Quote:
Why are you isolating Firefoot?
I am not the first to have singled out Firefoot. Mithalwen was the first to bring her up, I merely looked back at Firefoot's posts to see if I agreed. With Mithalwen's reasons I did not agree. But I also found Firefoot to be occasionally confusing. I never accused, I merely made my points and asked other villagers what they thought. Nogrod and Folwren responded in kind by questioning my aggressiveness, and I took this as advice to sit back and be more patient.

At this point, the chance, in my mind, of Firefoot's guilt, stands exactly where it was before I took a closer look at her posts: 1 in 13.


Please be more careful, however, when you refer to what someone else has said. Firefoot never advocated the strategy you said she did, and your entire point in that area made no sense.

My dear. . .Valier. . .oi. . .I know not what to say. If you don't want quiet and you don't want long winded posts, what do you want? If we have nothing to go on, why shouldn't we make long winded posts and give something to go on? Yet, if we none of us made any long winded posts, then tomorrow would be the same as today, and there would STILL be nothing to go on! Are you afraid of people making long posts and then turning around and wondering why you aren't making long posts? And are you afraid to make long posts because if you do, you will bring the spotlight onto you? Only wolves should be trully afraid to bring the spot light on themselves. An innocent usually has ways of defending himself. . .or, at least, is usually convincing enough to defend himself, because if he's innocent, he hasn't done anything wrong. And the lack of guilt and guilty concious in his posts will vouch for him. Therefore, the only person who should be really afraid of drawing the spot light are the wolves. Or, well. . . maybe the seer, but not so much so.

But then, sometimes, wolves are smart and extremely cunning with their words, and can afford to make long posts and draw the spot light, and deflect the guilt. Sometimes.

And a word to the lot of us. . .we might want to be careful not to bandwagon this evening.

My last post cross posted with Jenny, and I'm making a new post and therefore may be double posting because she said something that I didn't realize needed addressing but now that I do, I will make a new post.

I can't say exactly why it made me feel suspicious. Only that, he claimed not to be so smart, therefore couldn't really be a cunning would, also says that he'll vote later on today at random and that he can't have any suspicions (sp) (also a ridiculous thing to say because regardless of who you are, you're going to have some sort of suspicion)(just look at us). He offers no help, no words, no nothing.

But, I will not judge simply from his two posts. I said I was doubtful of him, but it was mainly on a gut feeling. You can't really derrive much from just a couple of sentences. It could be Gandalf's natural character to remain quiet. I've seen people killed because they were naturally quiet and turn out to be someone gifted. However, I don't blame Firefoot too much for voting for him, seeing as she didn't have too long, and she did end up voting mostly at random, I should guess. At the time, he seemed the less useful and (p'raps) the most questionable.

Well I'm sorry to say fellow villagers but I must leave you all now. My voting today is pretty random. I want to keep the voting field open. Anyways I think this villagers posts so far are strange...Well when I read them anyways!

++Elu Ancalime

Mostly because I think as a musician you stink! Can't dance to that racket anyways! Till the morning then! I hope to see all of you there, healthy and not lynched or eaten.(*Dances off home*)

Obviously everyone has decided to ignore my say of I'm on a time restraint and have a faint idea of what is going on and that I'm messed up in the head because of exams. However if I haven't posted that then I apologize. Anyway from what it seems at the moment it'd be best if I didn't do any theorizing and just stayed back for a while because my peeptacular logic which is hard to understand by itself makes no sense what so ever at the moment because I have no idea what I'm saying either...

I'd say in the best intrest of the village, lynch me.

Yours truly,
Sleepy Ranger

Oh, well, that's a different matter then. It really isn't fair to take advantage of someone's time contraints and weakened mental state, so I'll let that go for now.

My, only a few hours to go, and Thin still hasn't shown herself. I wonder where she is?

I understand your time restraint, sleepy, and absolutely respect exams. (icky exams...hugs sleepy even if he might be a wolf)

But if you are not a wolf, lynching you is not in the best interest of the village, no matter what is going on. We need every villager we have! And while I did criticise part of your analysis, I meant it in no way as a personal attack. Please, while I ask you to be more careful, don't give up! Music tames the savage beast...you may become our last line of defense, assuming you aren't hiding a tail or anything else overtly fuzzy.

OOC: I really wish you best of luck on your exams...

I have just been reading these earlier messages, and am quite astonished.

One thing I think is quite clear. We are not having stupid wolves around. So at least for this moment my doubts about Jenny are quite gone. (Sorry Jenny: don't hint that you are stupid, but that I no longer believe, that you were the over-anxious wolf trying to get someone else blamed)

Why I think we have clever wolfs around? Well there hasn't been much of a teamplay, that could be seen straight away. Although I'm not sure about the case of Eonwe: she was chivalrously rescued by two knights (Roa & Folwren)... that could raise an eyebrow.

But maybe I'm just overreacting.

Or just trying to have at least a semi-ground for my own vote?

Half-an-hour to go. I'll just think for a second

Figures.

Anyway I have decided Valier says that the other villagers votes have been strange but hers have been the flimsiest of the lot. Not great grounds but better than voting for noone or someone who has made a real effort. Anyway I have voiced suspicion before so I won't repeat now time is limited.

Thank you.

There is still some time, so I'm going to wait and think a moment before I vote, but I did have a question.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but exactly what statement of Lommy's are you referring to, Mith? I got confused reading this sentence. It's a position I am becoming quite familiar with.

Before anyone else panics about my post count or my lack of commitment to any one potential wolf, I am NOT accusing, insinuating, or otherwise hinting ANYTHING about Lommy or Mith. I'm simply confused.

I know I know!! Folwren I just some times get confused with the longer posts! But I guess some people are better comunicators. I guess I do some times make long posts, but not often. That's just me! So I guess others are the opposite.

I do agree that we shouldn't all bandwagon today, lets spread it out and make the wolves jumpy, they might slip up with something incriminating if they are under suspision. I have seen it before.

About not wanting to be in the spotlight myself.Nonsense....I love the spotlight!! Being the magnificent dancer I am! But Alas I must depart very soon.....Who to vote for on this day of all days?
