Avast! Avast!

I am going to take the risk of having a little personal satisfaction.

I TOLD YOU SO!

And Form, don't bother me with your comments about following your lead on Lalaith. Count the votes: yours for Lalaith is what doomed Nilp and Eomer. For that reason, you are at the top of my suspect list.

Second on the list are, tied, Gurthang and Firefoot for vote placement and general suspiciousness.

Rear Admiral, based on votes I don't see how Anguirel by appearing to have been trying to save Eomer does not gain your suspicions, but I who broke the tye in Eomer's favor looks suspicious.

I understand your reasoning based on my trying to be helpful and that I can't help. I was trying to gleen any sort "solid" theroies to work and everyone knows how hard that is on first day. Hindsight, I shouldn't have tried so hard.

As I said, I get where you were coming from but the person I find kind of scary is JennyHalu. She was very flip-flopish in her righteous anger of blasting everyone.

Sheesh, she follows SpM's lead because I was being productive

I'm not saying she is necessarily on my suspect list right now but I seem to be in trouble for what some demand.

Man, the pontificating coming from Potboiler's corner is a bit much, even for him. Of course, can't say I disagree with him from a purely cold hard logic standpoint (especially about Nilp) but really -- fine, I was being petty, if you like. Get over it.


YesterDay was a mass of banter, nonsense, and in character fun, so at the time I had to vote there wasn't much else to do besides make a blind vote. Call it a grudge if you will, but there are a lot worse people to vote blindly for on Day 1 than Eomer, who is a proven fiend. Besides, 'grudge' is a bit harsh since I never said I didn't like the chap. On the contrary, I am positively filled with warm fuzzies. Lynch votes mean you're loved. (Which reminds me -- *blows Gurthang a kiss*). If someday people badwaggon against me because they fear my vast cunning I'll be... who am I kidding, I'll be dreaming. Or possibly having an out of body experience. (I've been able to acheive various bandwaggons for various other reasons, but never for so flattering a reason.)

I find it HIGHLY amusing and not the least bit ironic that the Nilp bandwaggon was formed mainly just to save Eomer. "Let's not kill Eomer, he could be useful and he might be Gifted. Nilp couldn't possibly be either of those things!" (Quote not attributed to anyone but my general impression of the lynch outcome, applied with a dash of sarcasm, for flavor.)

Anywho -- I wish I could say that I've poured over Day 1s events and have analysis & theories & charts & suspects & non-suspects, and all that Day 2 fun to offer. But I haven't so I can't. I also wish I could say that I have slept in the past 32 hours, but I can't really say that either without using a very liberal definition of the word. So--

*thump* Weslamond passes out and falls to the deck, where she snores for the next... oh god I don't know. If I actually manage to think of anything besidse "Grunt, ha, er, mmfh," when I read the posts in this game, I'll get back to you.

Oh wait! I forgot, I did think of something. Eomer was obviously killed because the wolves are petty. Which means that the wolves are Lhuna, Me, Rune, and tgwbs! Oh, and Taliesen is my Lover. There, I think that accounts for all the Eomer voters nicely, don't you?

Holby, my apologies for my attempted bandwagon against you. I just needed to try and save Nilp, and thought Eomer likely also innocent: and I picked you because I found your logic concerning myself suspect. It didn't work, anyway.

Holby brought up another good point against Anguirel, though she didn't say as much but I infered it. He did try to 'save' Eomer by killing Nilp. While killing an innocent Nilp is suspicious it's not as suspcious, in my mind, as killing an innocent Eomer who looked incredibly innocent to me as opposed to Nilp who you cannot read on Day 1. Anyway what better placement for himself than to be there and then off him at night.

Now, I know that some of you are going to ask me what the madness is for me to be doing this again, but tis necessary. You shall all see the plot behind the madness shortly. Now, let's take a look at the voting list from yesterDay:

1. Morm-->Glirdan (Glirdan-1)
2. Lhuna-->Eomer (Glirdan-1, Eomer-1)
3. Rune-->Eomer (Glirdan-1, Eomer-2)
4. Glirdan-->Kath (Glirdan-1, Eomer-2, Kath-1)
5. Nilp-->Nilp (Glirdan-1, Eomer-2, Kath-1, Nilp-1)
6. TGWBS-->Eomer (Glirdan-1, Eomer-3, Kath-1, Nilp-1)
7. Durelin-->Nilp (Glirdan-1, Eomer-3, Kath-1, Nilp-2)
8. Diamond-->Eomer (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-2)
9. Anguirel-->Nilp (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-3)
10. Lalaith-->Form (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-3, Form-1)
11. Caranlondien-->Jenny (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-3, Form-1, Jenny-1)
12. Firefoot-->Nilp (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-4, Form-1, Jenny-1)
13. SpM-->Holby (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-4, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-1)
14. Holby-->Nilp (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-1)
15. JennyHallu-->Holbytlass (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-2)
16. Formendacil-->Lalaith (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-2, Lalaith-1)
17. Findeasea-->Lalaith (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-2, Lalaith-2)
18. Gurthang-->Diamond (Glirdan-1, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Form-1, Jenny-1, Holby-2, Lalaith-2, Diamond-1)
19. Eomer-->Glirdan (Glirdan-2, Eomer-4, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Formendacil-1, JennyHallu-1, Holbytlass-2, Lalaith-2, Diamond-1)
20. Taliesin-->Eomer (Glirdan-2, Eomer-5, Kath-1, Nilp-5, Formendacil-1, JennyHallu-1, Holbytlass-2, Lalaith-2, Diamond-1)

No vote: Kath

Of those:

Lhuna, Rune, TGWBS, Di and Taliesin all voted for Eomer.

Durelin, Ang, Firefoot and Holby (this does not include his vote for himself) all voted Nilp.

Now, considering yesterDay was Day 1 and Nilp was acting like usual and those four just wanted that annoyance gone, I really doubt that those who voted for Nilp have any true reason for voting for him and because of it, I think we shouldn't look at them toDay. However, I am not saying that we erase them from our minds either. I think the best plan of action for those four is we put it off until tomorrow and see what their vote is for toDay.

I think our main concern should be for those who have voted for Eomer because it's quite likely that of those five, at least one, or maybe even two, of them could be a Wolf.

So, to start off, I think I shall take a look at our dearest newcomer, Taliesin first. Be back shortly with analysis.

Although I can sertanly see the point Holbytlass makes about Jenny, I am inclined to belive Jenny when she says.

But I am not sure about anything.
It just seems plausible that someone talks against bandwagoning and then when they see two persons, One wich is just acting like he always does and one whom they find likely to be inoccent; is about to get lynched. That they then in desparation will try to get a person they are uncertain about killed instead and thereby start a bandwaggon.

I hope you understand what I just said. . .

I am not going to clear Jenny just yet, but I don't think that exact thing was that wolfish. . . But let me sleep on it.

Thank you Glirdan, you have furthered my suspicion of you as well.

"Let's not focus on those who voted Nilp" ie. Ang.

We can look at him later.

Ha, how utterly transparent.

You're next!
