Well I've consulted my mousers and they are of little help:

1) They want more tuna.
2) They want more catnip.
3) Even if they knew the identity of a 250 pound Werecat they would just hide under my bed while I was being massacred.

Eonwe, I still have my eye on you because announcing a totally random vote is a nice way to disregard killing an innocent on the next day.

Garin and many more people: try to be a bit more substantial. I hope that the one-post posters re-appear before sunset.

Anyway, I have to go and won't be returning toDay. Good night!

Thinlómien,
I was just trying to add a little color to the dialogue. My main point was to add Eonwe to my list of suspected:

Eonwe
Alcarillo
Sleepy Ranger
Mormegil
(Why not?)

I'm going to go with ...

++Sleepy Ranger


Although, I hate to make him an enemy. I'll probably check back later and see if I need to break a tie or see if someone has been indicted.

When is the bloody deadline again?

I have nothing against you Garin, as far as I'm concerned you're not my enemy unless something develops against you. The way I see it unless it can be proved otherwise I have no reason to be anybodys foe.

As for the deadline, it is 2am my time I believe.

Perfectly acceptable, in fact I think the way I've been throwing around my trus (>_>) would seem rather silly.

Rest assured I am rarely ever sensible.

If I remember it correctly (correct me Sleepy if I'm wrong), I have played in two games with Sleepy. In the first one he talked somewhat, but not of anything concerning the game as such (a little aggravation, perhaps) and was quite happy to be lynched.
Correct, I'm still not so sure why I joined that game (I was in the middle of exams) and had no time do anything at all and I was glad to get lynched because I knew I'd be nothing more than a liability.

Quote:
In the next he just popped in and voted - saying it to be random (like now), but as he hit the wolf with it, got killed by night. He was an ordo then too, and didn't feel very sad about getting killed.
Not sad about getting killed? I was very disappointed about getting killed. I had my heart set on playing that game (and on the Day 1 alas I was too busy to do anything other than that single vote).

But Nogrod correct me if I'm wrong, weren't you part of WWJ and WWJ II? Have you forgotten how I played then? It was more or less the same as now. I did nothing in WWJ IV because I had no time do anything (exams you see) as for Mithalwen's I was plagued my time restraints on Day 1 and I never got to see a Day 2. Hopefully that clears up some doubts as to why I'm more active in this game.

And Nogrod from that post you seem to take my playing style as the not say much type and based on my recent games, yes thats what I have come across as but believe me it is in no way the way I'd play.

Whenever I play anything I enjoy being an active participant no matter what. And in the last two WWJs there were certain obstacles preventing me from doing so, I've probably already pointed this out but I was very disappointed at being killed off in the previous WWJ.

Hopefully that clears up any doubts about why I'm so loud-mouthed right now.

I guess I have to correct you. I joined the Downs on January this year, and have been only in three games - all in succesion. So not forgotten, but not knowledgeable...

But you seem to have quite reasonable explanations.

I just belong to those, who would like to vote with even a tiny backing reason to their votes (don't like random voting at all). If it goes right, you can be happy and proud, if it goes wrong, you carry the guilt.

But more importantly. I still think that random-voting suits wolves (or cats). If everyone would have to really give reasons for their votes, it would be harder for the wolves (cats), because they will have to lie at some situations and therefore be so much more careful with their tongues... And that's the way you can hope to get them. Although I do see, that piling reasoned votes on day one is quite a task.

My bad, though I was certain you were in WWJ and WWJ II with me. I probably have you confused with someone else, sorry.

Yes I agree with you that random voting suits the wolves however it is hard to get any good evidence on Day 1 and the norm (as I see it) is for a band-wagon on the first day and yes, its good when you get the wolves stuck in a corner and force lies out of them, that would lead to those oh so sweet contradictions which will eventually get them all lynched! ^_^

But anyway I didn't plan on sticking with my vote for Kitanna and shall change now-

--Kitanna
++Farael

My reasons for being suspicious of Farael have already been listed, out of all the people he seems to be the flippiest of them all.

Ha!! You shall pay for that vote, Mr. Sleepy..... and you'll pay dearly when your furred skin is put on display down at the town hall.

I love you all, this village is so talkative!! but I have to go now and I shan't be back before the dead-line (get it? dead-line.... where we draw a line to decide who dies.... anyone? come on, it's not that bad)

I shall change my vote... not because I don't suspect Eonwe anymore, as a matter of fact I'd vouch for a double-lynch if it were possible.... but because Sleepy is clearly as jumpy as I am....

--Eonwe

++Sleepy Ranger

Allright, this is it for me. I can't stay awake any longer, so I'll have to vote now.

These in nno particular order, are the people I'm suspicious of:

Sleepy- mostly just because I know how dangerous he can be. He may be serious in his suggestions, or he may be trying to fool us. I also don't like his "trust" of Nogrod. On day 1, it's better to suspect everyone, especially those that are least suspicious. (There's always that one wolf/cat that avoids being looked at till the end.)

Morm- He made a big deal out of Farael's supposed tiff with Diamond, which as far as I can tell doesn't exist. Then he didn't explain when I asked him to. I did ask him twice, and he posted after one of those requests, so it was there for him to see. He also accused Farael of spreading suspicion, when he has done the same himself. (Not I'm not, it's the hypocracy I find incriminating, not the behavior. As I said, we should look at everyone.)

Farael- He points us in all sorts of directions, first going one way then another. Retractable votes or not, early voting is always suspicious. Especially since the vote was following the trend of suspicion, especially by morm at the time.

So, my vote is...

++Mormegil

Good day everyone.

EDIT: Cross posted with last two posts.
