Thanks, Firefoot, for our voting records and your opinion of people. I'd say it was helpful. Thanks for your kind words concerning me, glad to hear that my posts are at least somewhat sensible. I do my best, you know.

I guess I shouldn't be expecting too much talking today, other than stuff from Firefoot, but I can't possibly vote unless others write something and I feel more confident, one way or another. Unless I vote from what I feel about yesterday. . .

But, there's still time. Some. . .a very little.

I cross posted my last post with Elu.

Wanted to say, there may not be many posts from today, but there were several things said yesterday that you might try to comment on. Or at least you could try to say something interesting and helpful concerning Firefoot's post. . .you could have, you know. . .

Well, Firefoot's post is nice, because although it has her opinions, there is fact (snnipets of what they did) so I see it as more of a Halftime-Report more than what she likes and dislikes about them. One of things you have to be careful about (not exclusivly Firefoot's post, but opinions in general) is to extract fact from bias and personal anaysis.

X Post with Folwren

I still am a bit frustrated by Valier saying I play my trumpet horribly....Maybe she has two left paws-I mean feet? Not that I am wholly suspicous, aside from that comment and the 'random' vote....

Yes, it is a hard thing, sometimes, to seperate fact from bias, and something you have to be careful about. But seeing people's annalysis of everyone is helpful. I would do it myself and should have done it before, but now I really don't have time. I don't know if we're any farther along today then we were yesterday. It really is a sad thing that we killed our Hunter with our own hands, and though it's cruel to say so, perhaps it's a good thing that the wolves killed Lommy and didn't hit on the Seer or the Ranger. We can just hope that the ranger will be able to pick up on the seer's whereabouts before the wolves do. . .

My point is - yesterday's lynching and last night's killing has helped us in the least. All that will help us now is some posts that's not full of nonsense, but that is full of people's thoughts of the other players and what's happened.

Right now, my thoughts, put simply (because I don't have time to put them any other ways) is this

Valier yesterday and Elu today seem to be speaking hardly anything but nonesense. I know Elu has hardly talked at all today and that only an hour and twenty or so minutes has past since morning broke, but you haven't really offered anything substantiel. Valier didn't give anything of any purpose yesterday. Her vote was random, and it was for Elu. Still don't know what to make of that. I voted for Valier yesterday because I thought her post about people not making long posts but still talking or something like that was kind of. . .unreasonable. She's unsure of herself.

Firefoot, I think, is sensible and doesn't seem, to me, to be wishing anyone harm. She seems to know what's best for this village and it appears that we think are thinking along the same lines in some things. . .for instance, useful talk is good.

Eonwe. . .very careful in what he says and does. Only posted a few things yesterday, gave a good reason for his vote, I think.

Mith seems reasonable. She appears to be trying to think things out like any ordinary, blind villager might. She directed her attention and others towards one or two people, but she wasn't pointing right and left and she was generally fairly reserved in doing it, unlike. . .

Jenny. See what Firefoot wrote about her. I'm still willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for being a new player, but as this day progresses, you who remain will have to decide that. The more she talks and plays, the more clear on which side she is will become, I think.

Roa. Little comment here. I liked most of what she wrote yesterday, though I'm still uncertain netirely. She was much like Mith except talked a bit more, I guess.

And. . .that's my dad callin', so I don't have time for more. Who was left?

Gandalf didn't talk much. No comment therefore.

Wilwa and Lommy are dead, and I would that they had both lived. I knew you'd made a mistake when you lynched her.

Oh, oh, oh. I neglected Nogrod and Sleepy. Argh. Sleepy, unsure. I'm inclined to think he's an ordo. Nogrod. . .I have my doubts, but can't explain.

I've really got to be going. I'm really, really sorry.

The only issue right now, is as you said, Valiers 'inconsistiscy' and 'frothy'ness. Seems a bit like shes been murmuring but that may be a sign of

Valier is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I can't believe Lommy is dead! I didn't expect that to happen! Well I've put away my dancing shoes and I think it is time to get down to buisness. I'm not so sure I get frothyness from my posts,but it was the first day and the reality of it all had not hit me yet.

I will do some reading of the posts and see what I can come up with. Am I correct in that there were three people who did not vote. Elu, Gandalf, and Wilwarin

My thoughts exactly, about lynching wilwa. Wilwa is smart enough to be a good asset, and should have been saved for later, even if she was suspicious. which she was entirely not, seeing as if she had been a wolf, she wouldn't have let that happen to her. I put much more faith in her skills than that.

That bring me back to the first and last people to vote for wilwa: Roa and Jenny. And I think Jenny is by far teh more suspicious of the two.
