Well we could get into an argument about game tactics, but I personally like for votes to count, and don't think it's wolf/cattish to try and influence who gets lynched. *shrug*

So even if you are innocent I don't intend to eat my words... you wouldn't be the first innocent to be suspected by another innocent, so if my strategy seems cattish to others, well, so be it.

Like I said, a vote for Wilwa is pretty useless at the moment.

I just noticed this as well. It appears that Diamond is trying to make it seem like she wanted to vote for Wilwa but actually failed to do so. The voting was close enough and with retractable votes it could have changed. She attempted to add to the distance from Wilwa and Eonwe instead of voting who she actually stated she 'suspects' though I doubt she suspected her at all but is actually a partner in crime and villiany.

Morm,

I said a vote for Wilwa would be useless because at that point it would have created a tie. I think actually a three way tie. There was a flurry of activity that changed that . but at the moment of my typing, it was shaping up to be a Eonwe/Garn/Wilwa tie. Also I stated all Day yesterDay that I had no intention to vote for Wilwa/Thin/Telp because of my red herring theory in regards to Nogrod. So saying I was trying to make it sound like I wanted to vote for Wilwa is misrepresentation.

At any rate, if you feel it's in your best interest to lynch me, you must do as you must.

Eonwe has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril back earlier that I expected... :)

Well, I think that we should just leave Telperaca alone, if we can't double-lynch her. She'll just die out anyway, and our problem will be solved. Anyway, don't you think she would be giving it a bit more time, if she was a cat? Not to mention, we are in such great shape. I've never seen cats lynched consecutively on the first and second days. We have plenty of innocents to spare, so I say we lynch away...

I agree with Glirdan that Farael is looking fairly good. Though I would have thought he would have given up by now, considering my voteing yesterDay. That cuts down on his innocents...but I'm not ready to vote for him yet. What I mean is, maybe he feels obligated to go after me because that's waht he's been doing. For some reason I think that makes him look bad...

I think we might actaully have a pretty hard time of this one. Look at all the people we have. Form, Acarillo, Morm, Kath, Roa, and Garin are heardly being talked about, as far as I can see, but there is nothing to prove their innocence. Just a thought...

I can understand where Lommy is coming from with the lynching Telp idea. If she doesn't post at all toDay she will be killed, and if we have another candidate for lynching and they turn out to be innocent as well we'll have lost two innocents in one Day. Ok, we have an advantage at the moment, but mistakes are dear.

Even so, it is Telp and Lommy that we need rid of toDay, in order that we have full knowledge of all the people on Nogrod's list. Once we know who or what they are we will either have won as all the Cat's will be gone or we will be able to look past that list.

But Glirdan, just picking up on a point you made about Lommy. I too have to keep checking my posts as I write wolves rather than cats, I don't think that's something you can use to make someone look suspicious. And you pushing so hard for Lommy's death is quite odd in itself.

That's all I have for now. I'll be back later.

I realise that point I made is rather irrelevant o you can completely disregard that. As for my pushing for Lommy's death, how can you not? The evidence is right in front of you. Look back at Nogrod's analysis of the death ryhme on Day 1. He got two of the three right!! Who's to say he didn't get the last one? The only way we can find out if this is true is to lynch Lommy and let the Moddess take care of Teleperca as she has not returned. That's why I'm pushing this. If we get it right toDay, we can end this insanity. Yes I realise that we are risking two innocent's, but that's what we call a sacrifice. However, I am not completely disregarding everything that's been said about others such as Eonwe and Diamond (and I must say morm, you bring up good points against Diamond).

I agree that there are some in there who haven't even crossed my mind (Kath, Alcarillo and Roa), yet I'm sure there are some out there who haven't forgotten about them. Form's actually had some suspicion due to his wierd playing strategy. Garin's had some votes and morm...well you can't forget about one of the most vocal (in a good way however) villagers who's got good things to say.

If you would like my suspcions list, I'll give it to you:

Suspicious
Lommy
Teleperca
Form

Probably Innocent
Eonwe
Farael
morm
Glirdan

In Between
Form
Diamond

Not Sure
Kath
Roa
Alcarillo
Garin

For my "suspicions list", I've given reason to support my thoughts as well as the "innocents list". Those "in between", I find suspicious yet they are probably innocent. The four under the "not sure" list, I have nothing really against or for their innocence.

Look at what Diamond did after 1 vote for her.

She changed her vote for to Telperaca, the most likely to die today. What does this accomplish. Most likely Telperaca is innocent but an easy kill so it doesn't really leave tracks because it's not seen as overly suspicious a vote. It also makes Telperaca the lead candidate and much more difficult for anybody to catch up to her, including herself. Diamond's voting record really is speaking against her.

My main suspects
Telperaca (appearance on Nogrod's list)
Glirdan (I still don't like his analyses. Besides he's over-eager to attack me and sometimes his points are ill-based.)

People I'm inclined to think innocent
Garin
Eonwe
Farael
(Roa and Kath may deserve a place on the list)

I'm deeply sorry if you're innocent, but you must understand. I'm certain of my own innocence but don't know about you.

His vote for Wilwa came at the very end when it seemed she wouldn't die so what better time to cast your vote for a fellow wolf? Eonwe saved the day and killer her off unexpectedly. Then of course later he tried to play up his vote for Wilwa and hers for him. A very contrived defense. His lack of a vote the first day cast further suspcion on him.
