[the phantom]

All right, I'm back.

HOLBY
Vote choice and timing: not wolfish
Posts: 3, 20, 21
Feel: Post 20 makes me slightly uncomfortable, but the others are fine.

MITH
Vote choice and timing: slightly wolfish
Posts: 5, 6, 36, 37
Feel: Nothing in her posts sets off alarms. She's playing well.

GIL
Vote choice and timing: no vote
Posts: 7
Feel: There's not much to go on.

LAL
Vote choice and timing: no vote
Posts: 9, 30, 32, 35
Feel: Posts 9 and 30 rub me the wrong way, and I don't like her non-vote.

KATH
Vote choice and timing: slightly wolfish
Posts: 12, 33
Feel: I'm not getting a feel for her, and it bothers me.

CAP
Vote choice and timing: no vote
Posts: 14
Feel: He does not make me particularly suspicious. But we don't have much info.

SPM
Vote choice and timing: slightly wolfish
Posts: 15, 38, 39
Feel: He is not coming across as innocent or guilty to me. Hmm...

SHASTA
Vote choice and timing: slightly wolfish
Posts: 22, 29
Feel: His list reminds me of Boro, Ang, and me while Werewolfing.

TP
Vote choice and timing: slightly wolfish
Posts: 23, 24, 25
Feel: He was quiet yesterday, but then so was everyone else.

My leanings....

I won't vote for the phantom (duh!).

I don't want to vote for Mith, Kath, Gil, or Cap at this time.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Hmm.

I'll put out there that at this time I'm most suspicious of Kath, who put in a throwaway vote for Mith when the Menel and Durelin bandwagons were already going strong. I'm also suspicious of all the non-voters... but, oddly enough, not so much Lal, as I understand where she's coming from. I myself have to go to work in... ten minutes. I'll be back before the deadline though, and cast my vote then.

Another oddity before I go...

It's probably nothing, but I could construe that to mean Peter Jackson... aka Sauce.

The narration of this game does not hold clues.

Would it be cruel and unnecessary manipulation to add 'at least nothing that transparent'?

How can that be construed that way? Perhaps I'm missing some insider information. But it is not important, as any thing that needs to be twisted for something to be made of it is worthless.

Moving on.

Now, how can you be suspicious of me (another non-voter) and not Lal? My reasoning is quite similar, as I have to get up very early for work and cannot thus be counted on to vote if nothing is really going on when I leave the forums for the night.

I think you have a terrible double standard there, and you may have garnered some suspicion from me. In accepting Lal's explanation as reason to diminish or dismiss suspicion, and not my own, you have potentially set yourself up as a wolf cohort of Lal, should she be one.

However, I do not think Lal is a wolf, but you are certainly on my radar now, Shastanis. There could be other reasoning for your lack of Lal suspicion, but I have yet to see an explanation that will suffice.

[Boromir88]

Aye as Fea said there are no clues to be found in the narration...that was just me having fun with an inside joke. Instead of saying the popular 'debbie downer', a couple friends have used different ones...like 'pessimistic-Peter' 'negative-Nancy' and 'sadistic-Scotty' to name a few.

[the phantom]

Yeesh, this village is quiet. Painfully quiet. When people don't open their mouths much it's more difficult to get a read.

Unfortunately I can't generate much noise myself due to my schedule. Bah.

I'll be back before the deadline to make sure we don't cut our time down by two days again with a triple lynch.

[the phantom]

FYI- the people that I said I didn't want to vote for... I never said I didn't suspect any of them. I just don't want to kill them today for one reason or another.

[Gil-Galad]

i amdit to quietness... well forgetfullness mostly... and i tempted by phantoms record breaking WW game

++Boromir88

let us begin the random lynchings!!!

[CaptainofDespair]

Well instead of missing the voting deadline once more, I think I'll make an early vote just to be on the safe side just in case something comes up (which according to information I have it is likely).

Due to this uneasy quiet, I don't think I'll get much more out of today's discussion. So, my vote goes to:

++Shastanis

Be aware that this vote is not out of any conviction I have that Shantanis is a wolf. Rather, I am unable to get any reads on anyone else and as such must simply go after the only one I have had any feelings about.

Edit: Well, I've cross posted with Gil. And his insanity reveals itself. I am...perplexed...to say the least.

[Lalwendë]

I have a suspicion about who the Seer might be but I don't think I ought to say this outright in case the wolves pick them up. But they have brought something up which makes me think one of the non-voters is indeed a Wolf.

Still not suspicious of Kath, in contrast to what Shasta says, I reckon why would a wolf go for such an obvious choice of a throwaway vote? I don't think that's Kath's wolfing style - but then I'll leave that thought with you more experienced folk and see what you guys think of her. Not suspicious of Mith either. Which also rules out Sauce for me right now. Much as I disagree with Shasta above, there's nowt fishy there either.

Which leaves me with Captain, Gil, Phantom and Holby. Two of those are of course non-voters - so I reckon we must have a combo of either Captain/Gil/Phantom or Holby or a combo of Captain or Gil/Phantom/Holby.
