You may always talk like that, but I think you assume that if you speak in a strange (or "sophisticated" as you say) way, it takes the attention from your posts and you don't have to say anything meaningful. That is not the case.

Interesting, how the alliances begin to form...

Have you any special reason to distrust Nogrod or to trust THE Ka?

Or little post-structuralist seems to be afraid of wild-dogs and connecting them with everything...

While hidden clues would certainly be very helpful, the moderator is supposed to be impartial and generally anything s/he writes is not meant to give hints towards anyone's role. (Have there been precedents of this kind of hinting from the mods in other games? From the games I've played in, there have not been, and in some cases the mod even gave a disclaimer that none of his/her posts contained clues. Maybe if we could get a little disclaimer or something from Sleepy on this to tell us whether his posts are valid clues or not?)

Sleepy did say to read Is posts carefully! But I do not zhink E would put in too much today.

So you just have a gut-feeling. *sigh*
I don't blame you for that, still, because there's not much to go on.

Anyway, I must leave now, so I'll vote.

++THE Ka
I'm very aware that I'm bandwagoning, but as I think she's the most suspicious peson here, and I don't think I shouldn't vote for her only because it's bandwagoning.

[Anguirel]

Weee-eeel. Thinlomien's excited today.

Madam, I excused your silence initially because I thought I recalled that you lived in a cold clime far to the north and east...now it's your chattering that makes me pause.

It's not implicitly damning; but just as you were granted hours of grace, you have to accept lulls in discussion. When you're arguing in an advanced state of schizophrenia, and you know it, your speech should perhaps be limited. For though many of your thoughts are helpful, your gabble implicitly criticises the poor souls who cannot help to keep up.

I see that-despite much insipid Day One moaning, particularly, interestingly, from THE Ka and Thinlomien-a case has been brought up from our departed Sleepy's description.

I have another point to raise; a matter of definition. It concerns Holbytlass.

Look at her occupation. She is a governess. This is not a political role and has nothing to do with ruling anything. A governess looks after small children.

Sleepy appears at first sight, though, to think it means something involving "being marginally fake" and making speeches. In other words, the introduction to Holby makes her out to be a governor.

I know that Holby knows what a governess is; in another life, she referred to her "small charges" and their crying, eating habits etc.

Yet she seems to buy the role Sleepy has-apparently accidentally-given her of governor. Vide post #51:

What are we supposed to make of this? Either Holby is teasing Sleepy's error, or she's another kind of governor in this town.

A wolvish one. Perhaps the "she" of the poem.

I'm not so keen on Nogrod, who first called for a system of murder. I don't claim to know exactly how to tell a bad egg when I see one, but I feel there is something just a little too drastic going on in that mind. This is death, and we should not be so quick to it, I'd say. It might not be the best explanation, but by the way things look toDay, it'll have no effect, so no harm done. It's more expressing my hunch than anything else.

Oops, my mistake. We do have double lynchings.

[Valier]

Vell zince I muzt go I shall vote for

++Nogrod

He is the mozt zuzpizious I think right now. But I have alzo looked at Sleepy's writings again and I noticed Roa wishes to zhow uz who's better and I alzo saw vhat Ang was zaying about Holbytlass. Nogrod novone vill notice because E lookz like a random guy. Also Witch_Queen azzoziates vith Rats! She could be a traitor. Vell I ope all goes vell and ve catch does bad guyz!

Hello everyone, sorry for my silence this morning, I had to touch up the lettering on my best Armageddon sign (trans: my RL workplace lost all internet connection and we only just got it back.)

I am most impressed at how you have used the advice Anguirel and I gave to examine any possible hints Sleepy may have left us! Honestly my own dissection of the text didn't really get beyond a general feeling that the traitors are first, female, and second, that Sleepy's comment about Naria's shop 'smelling of death' seemed faintly suspicious.

But, not having been a member of this site for very long, I would never have caught any meaning behind "Cupid's Arrow", and that argument seems very very sound. While I'm not quite sure I catch where you are saying she defends herself to quickly, since she hasn't been around since any accusations were made in her direction, just read her post #30. This is how she's posted since the beginning...a lot of words to say nothing at all.

And since I have no way of knowing if my connection will last through the day,

++THE Ka
