I'm going to have to vote sooner than I anticipated as well.
Ugh, I just really don't like this. Taking observations of suspicion and defending them in such a light way as "oh, but of course...so smart of you to observe" doesn't sit well with me. I like it better when people are more straightforward in being defensive.

Probably entirely baseless, and more something that just bothers me than wolfishness.

And Nogrod, if I was retaliating, I would just say that I was. It just so happens that my suspicions have led me toward people who have voiced suspicion of me...but just think about how many times people voice suspicions about others? At some point, you're going to be suspicious of someone who is suspicious of you. Besides, for innocents, why not be suspicious of someone who is suspicious of you, if you know you're innocent? (And yes, I know that's not a reason to be suspicious of someone. 'Tis a joke...have fun with it.)

Oh goodness...

Edit: Cross-posted with Di. And oh, Rikae's comment I see might have been concerning CoD? Sorry, I perhaps jumped the gun because I once in my former life did the exact same thing, just replace "hobbits" with "cats" and "need" with "wear".

Durelin, you might want to reread my post - I voted for CoD "because Hobbits don't need shoes", and therefore, we can dispense with the one who makes them., who I suspect (as well as one can on Day 1) to be CoD.

EDIT: X posted with Durelin's edit.

I apologize for the confusion.

I would love it if you'd tell us why you think CoD is the Cobbler, though. I have yet to vote, and am not certain who to vote for yet.

I thought his original "seerish" comment really wasn't satisfactorily explained by his excuse of being in character.

That sort of comment seems unwise for anyone (especially the seer), and might be designed to generate confusion. I admit, it isn't much, but there wasn't really anyone else attracting my suspicion. Well, Boro seems slightly odd, actually, but I can't put my finger on it yet. It isn't merely quietness; something about him seems wicked, tricksssy, falsssse, but I'll reserve judgement for now.

Nogrod, I can't explain what I don't understand. I don't know what I've done to annoy you - I guess I'm just too much of a novice to produce "good gaming".

EDIT: I see, you're saying I annoyed you by not giving a reason. I thought you were asking me to give a reason why I was so annoying.

Don't get me wrong Rikae. I was annoyed of your first post. You had not been around the whole Day and then just popped up with a vote to the one that had been suspected the most - without any reason of your own or lended. Well, now you have explained something about why you voted for CoD and I'm adjusting myself to it...

I mean if you vote, give us a reason (as you have now done afterwards). This has nothing to do with being a novice - which I must say I don't think you are as you have played well before, at least according to my lorebooks.

But I also agree with Di:
Quote:
I don't like the CoD bandwagon, personally.
Me neither. Bandwagons are nice places to hide for the villains - at least if it's probable at the time of ones vote that the wagon will be a long one. That's one other reason why I thought badly about your "out of the blue sky vote"...

EDIT: X'd with a lot

Farael, Valier and myself to vote. 15 minutes... (and will Farael be here?)

I agree that the two top vote-getters are my first suspicions right now. But which one? This is so unnerving! I do not believe them both to be wolves.

My grandmother used to say the same thing, and was told that spreading out the votes gives power to the wolves.
Also, I'd just like to point out your first post influenced my vote.

I must vote, as I will be from my computer untimely ripped very soon...

Captain's Log, 4:24 EST, Nov. 9, 2006: The crew is in utter chaos, and I am forced to determine between who is popularly believed to be of blame. CoD and Anguirel. I asked for advice from a CoD accuser, but "one of the advantages of being a captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it..."

++Anguirel, for reasons as stated before, and because lynching CoD makes no sense to me...even though he doesn't seem like he would be much of a loss at this point.

Note: All quotes are from here.

I just choked on my hot chocolate laughing. Heh. I think that would be a bit aggressive even for Nogrod.

Heh, even though I'm on the losing side I'm still pretty happy, since I figured out that both Naria, Boromir, and Valier were wolves. Congrats to Valier for surviving. I guess I don't have much else to say, because I kind of lost touch with what was going on after I died. I would have kept up with the goings on here but I was busy with Fea's game.

I could vote for Rikae just from pure annoyance... That was not good gaming or taking part to this. Not by any standards. A reason or two, please.

Rune's posting has been irritating too, just nonsense and random. That doesn't help us at all. But I've been wrong about Rune quite a many times before...

Valier should pop in and say something or then the same would go with her too. And if Gurthang does not show up as he promised, I will dislike his performance too.

If Farael does not show up, I would say the same of him too.

Naria and Volo have flown under my radar the whole Day. I'm not totally comfortable with it, but can't see a case to be made either.

Towards CoD and Anguirel I might have points to back my vote. But they have played. That I think is important. As it is important to have a particular reason to vote for someone... A dilemma here.

EDit: X'd with a few...
