Ok Ok so what was up with the arrow? I find that odd for the Phantom to just put that in there....Oh well...I thought I had something...I still think I do on the EW choosing Naria's vote so the Hunter would be killed sacraficing a wolf, which I think they did.

To show that he was 'shooting off' perhaps? Since that post is all about him not having time to post at that moment.

So No I think the EW chose to kill The Phantom, by choosing Naria's vote....I think if the wolf votes are spread out the EW gets the final say on who goes do they not?

First off my sincerest apologies for not being very active in this game but random things have kept popping up, bear in mind these have all been un-scheduled disturbances and come Saturday I should be rid of them all. Truly sorry for being a chore.

++Feanor

Possibly because of the previous day.

Voting so far:

Azaelia - Eomer (Eomer-1)
Nilp - Azaelia (Eomer -1, Azaelia-1)
Celuien - Alcarillo (Eomer-1, Azaelia-1, Alcarillo-1)
Diamond - Azaelia (Eomer-1, Azaelia-2, Alcarillo-1)
spawn - Azaelia (Eomer-1, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1)
Thin - Eomer (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1)
Sleepy - Fea (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1, Fea-1)
Fea - Roa (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1, Fea-1, Roa-1)


I just remembered why I had been suspicious of Azaelia in the first place toDay. Her vote just seemed like a vote-for-the-likely-bandwagon-victim vote. I'm gonna glance at Alcarillo really fast.

Well, I am back. Catching up right now. I must say Valier's posts dazzle me.

Celuien is looking less suspicious also, mainly because she seemed to give good analysis and reasons for her vote.
I see your point here, Gurthang, but that is exactly what made me a little suspicious of her in the first place. Why would anyone feel the need to come up with such an elaborate case on Day 1?

I'm advertising bad behaviour here, I'm afraid.

The voting seems to be leaning towards Zali currently -I remain doubtful whether she is innocent or not- and Eomer, whom I'd personally hate to see lynched today. I might cry. The out of the blue vote for Fea is somewhat amusing. I wonder what dear Sleepy is up to.

Roa is someone I had not truly considered yet. Yes, she attacked Nogrod with undeniable passion but that is usual for her, is it not? I do agree with Valier that she might be someone to choose the three wolves we know. Interesting, certainly. I do not think her defense of Loki that strange, however, she actually made valid points.

Because it's my personality. I can be competitive and perfectionistic, so if I can make an elaborate case I will.

There's a lot of catching up to do...

I have to go and I don't think I'll be back before the end of the day. Because I'm still interested in Roa and I don't have time to ascertain the extent to which any other suspicions of mine are accurate...

I agree with you wholeheartedly and this is why I think Roa may just be the EW and chose Loki/Nogrod/Naria as wolves. Her post that I quoted earlier had a "plan" for the EW and I think she made it happen Oh too well!

Fea, I seriously don't know what you're going on about- I didn't defend Loki "tooth and nail" and I gave what I consider to be very good reasons for not believing him to be guilty. Again, if you disagree, please give reasons for doing so. Honestly, at least give a decent reason for being interested in me.

As for Valier... what are you talking about? I couldn't have known the phantom was the hunter yesterDay- he wasn't yet. Secondly, I don't think I went overboard in attacking Nogrod at all. He seemed far too guilty to not be a wolf, and I wanted to make sure the village got one. And I'm guilty because I picked up what the EW could end up doing? I alerted the village to a possible plan of the EW. If I was the actual EW, I would never alert you to something everyone had missed, especially if that was my actual plan. Much better to let you ignore it and keep my plans out of sight.

And please, I agree with morm on the whole narration thing. You seem quite eager to get rid of me Valier. Did I catch your fellow and now you want revenge? You'll have to better than that.

Actually Roa I think this is exactly what you would do to cover your EW butt!! I have read about your ancestors as I have mine in the Lore books, and I am sure you are smart, sly and conniving enough to pull it off!

I believe I dropped that awhile ago since it did seem unfair for me to use that...and Me? be friends with a wolf? Never!!! That has only happened once in history and I asure you, it is not happening now!

Alright it's time for me to vote.

++VALIER

She was determined to find clues in the phantom's posts when there couldn't possibly have been any, and continued on this train of thought even after this had been explained. She has gone almost single-mindedly after Roa, without enough solid reasoning to do so. She has also been very defensive when questioned.

I'm not convinced of Eomer's guilt so I'd like him to be kept around so he can help us out, as I know he can. But Alcarillo I think is most guilty looking to me and has been unhelpful and I feel is hiding being role playing.

Valier you seem more and more to be grasping at straws here. First the narration bit then your continued assertion that the phantom was the hunter at a time when we all know he wasn't. I don't follow it in the least and makes me leary of you too.

I knew this would happen, but think what you will!! If you check the lore books you will see that I don't have very good skills at reasoning and analysing, but I get a feeling and go with it full steam and it always gets me killed, when the game is over others realize I was innocent and had made the right choices.....so just remember that in the future.

Well, I need to get gone, so I have to vote now. After reading through Alcarillo's post, he seemed innocent yesterDay, and I can't see enough of a change in him toDay to make me think he was changed last Night. I'm drawn between Diamond and Azaelia.

++Azaelia

I don't think there is enought support yet to lynch Diamond.

Good luck guys.

Cailin, the last couple of times my ancestress found herself nodding in agreement with almost all of the posts of your ancestress, your ancestress was innocent.
I hope the same goes now.
I agree that Roa's family has through the ages a tendency to get passionate in these situations - redheads, you know! - and this can be mistaken for guilt.

My feeling about today is that a lot of the characters getting suspicion cast on them are in fact the usual quiet shady types. Azaelia for example - doesn't this happen to her quite a lot?

Yesterday, as I said, I was feeling uneasy about Celuien and Gurthang. I'm thinking whether to stick with one of those two when it comes to voting. I agree about this wave of unease about Valier though, partly because I think that she'd be a good wolf choice.

I'm still considering my vote: Roa, Diamond, or Zali. The first I don't think I've scrutinized closely enough yet to justify voting for her toDay. And, like Gurthang said, I don't think there's enough support to lynch Diamond toDay. So I will probably be voting for Azaelia.

Really, I don't feel very good about voting for anyone. I felt far more confident about Nogrod's guilt than I do about any of my suspects' toDay.

Voting:

1. Azaelia --> Eomer (Eomer-1)
2. Nilp --> Azaelia (Eomer -1, Azaelia-1)
3. Celuien --> Alcarillo (Eomer-1, Azaelia-1, Alcarillo-1)
4. Diamond --> Azaelia (Eomer-1, Azaelia-2, Alcarillo-1)
5. spawn --> Azaelia (Eomer-1, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1)
6. Thin --> Eomer (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1)
7. Sleepy --> Fea (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1, Fea-1)
8. Fea --> Roa (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-1, Fea-1, Roa-1)
9. mormegil --> Alcarillo (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-2, Fea-1, Roa-1)
10. Kath --> Valier (Eomer-2, Azaelia-3, Alcarillo-2, Fea-1, Roa-1, Valier-1)
11. Gurthang --> Azaelia (Eomer-2, Azaelia-4, Alcarillo-2, Fea-1, Roa-1, Valier-1)

I wanted to vote for Lhuna because she was being interrogated on Day One and hasn't shown up since; but Valier's behaviour has been pretty bizarre so I might have to vote for her. Roa? Wow. She was obviously too helpful in catching Nogrod. Well, I'm certainly giving her the benefit of the doubt.

If I were a wolf why on earth would I draw attention to myself with all my weak analysis? I am not that obtuse!! I would never out right accuse someone and try hard to get them looked at if I were a wolf!

Another name. I know. Azaelia was my other candidate, so I would support lynching her as well. But as Lalaith says, Azaelia is rather an expert in drawing unwanted attention (as I am obviously full aware) and therefore I shall go with my more dangerous, more elusive suspect. Let's hope we continue making the right decisions.
