Yes. There are some people who claim we can't pair up if we didn't do it in the very beginning, but who's going to listen to them?

I think Lommy's vote is made with possibly the worst grounds thus far. Not that Eomer looked very innocent, but he definitely didn't look that suspicious either.

Although there had been some suspicion on Rikae, Eomer was the first to vote her. And so what if he's not coming back today?

He could have given some reasoning for his vote, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it "not innocentish".

I was fairly sure I'd vote for Mac but now I actually feel more like voting Lommy.

edit: I forgot to mention I'll hang around still for a short while now and cast my vote then

[Lalaith]

Right, it's bedtime for me.


I want to know what Legate's up to, his posts feel so odd, they aren't making sense to me at all. I also want to know what Agan is up to and I am getting more worried about Fea.
Then there are Groin and Sally, who worried me earlier. (Eonwe too, although he is now worrying me less.)

Well, I will go for
++LEGATE

[Aganzir]

++Lommy

Votes

Eomer: Rikae
Kitanna: Rikae (2)
Greenie: Groin
Mac: Lommy
Eönwë: Legate
Lommy: Eomer
Lalaith: Legate (2)
Agan: Lommy (2)

11 still to vote.

If I die, either by lynching or in the night, I hope you don't forget Lommy (if she's alive), or Mac, Rikae or Fea. Or Groin.

And care to explain what do you mean by "what is ***** up to"? What does it mean "his posts feel so odd"? I mean, what kind of a reasoning is that? "I am going to vote Lalaith. Her posts are yellow and taste of cinnamon." Sure you won't accept that kind of a reasoning???

EDIT: x-ed with Agan

[Lalaith]

All right, to be clearer: my suspicions are often directed at those who I feel are being confusing, possibly deliberately so, and for a purpose. Is that better?
Now I really must go to bed, I am tired and will start getting confused even more easily. If I am still here after toNight, I bid you au revoir and au demain, dear Lonely Hearts.

Okay, I guess this is the time to vote for me. Hmm... I was thinking. And thinking. And thinking. And somehow fear that if I don't do one thing, I will end up dead. But then what if... I could as well vote Lalaith after her last outright rude vote for me, or Kitanna to try that Mac-theory by another means, and also because of her really suspicious vote. I don't feel like voting Mac that much anymore.

I don't want to vote Lommy, as I am afraid of a bandwagon. And okay, okay, also because I am afraid that she may be innocent after all. But what then? Of all the people she seems the best choice, unless I were to vote for some of those named above.

I could vote for one of the quiet ones just because of that. I could vote sally-happy-go-lucky. Now wouldn't that be a good choice?

It actually would. Whoever posts some two posts like that (no substance) is well enough suspicious to me, of course it is sally who does that often, but still, too much for slipping under the radar. But then, sally may yet show up before the DL... so it will be pretty rash to vote for her now. Let's see what she does tomorrow (if I am here still).

I am just horrible, am I? Okay. Kitanna. Hmh. Lommy. Hmh. I am going to toss a coin...

Darn. Tails. That's Kitanna. I just now recalled how Nog said that one learns which choice he'd prefer only after tossing the coin. Quite. Had there been heads, it would have been far easier for me to vote Lommy. But maybe that's just what I think now and it will be exactly the other way around.

But okay, whatever. Let's see. If I am alive, there are other Days to go. And mainly, I can't possibly think now for a counterpart for Lommy...

++Kitanna

Vote well, people, and hope to see you toMorrow.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, that was a LOT of WW to try to digest at a single go.

As far as I can tell, the most attention has been directed at Rikae, Mac, Thinlomien, Aganzir, and Legate. Of these, I initially found Mac most suspicious, because I agreed that his responses to Rikae really did seem jumpy. Of course, as was pointed out, this is not a sure sign of guilt, since innocents can often respond in a defensive or jumpy manner. I've done it before.

Well, I have a headache from reading too much. I'll take a break and try to come back with something more helpful later on.

[Gollum the Great]

Hmmm... I'd better think this over...

Legate, Eomer, Eonwe, Groin, Green, Sally, Gwath, Brinn, Kitanna, Mac, and Nogrod seem fairly innocent.

I am slightly wary (but not suspicious) of Rikae (her reasons for mistrusting Mac didn't have much by way of a foundation), Aganzir (too excited), Lommy (she always bears watching, but I have little say beyond that).

Lal and Fea-not sure and too tired to spend time evaluating.

Shasta and McCaber- Nothing to speak of.

[Gollum the Great]

I'm going to make vote soon.... and unless something happens to sway my choice I thinking of Agan.

Well, if you say so, although I don't find you all that suspicious...

Heh, there's nothing quite so convenient as going after someone who says she won't be back for a while, eh, Lommy?
I'm inclined to think Eomer was just attempting to stir the pot with an unexplained vote for a vocal player, but the way Kitanna jumped on it looks fairly nasty to me, though, and Agan's threat to go along, without an actual vote, looks perhaps worse. (It seems she's trying to keep things moving in that direction while avoiding any commitment herself).

Regarding whether people might slip in a discussion of rules (yep, I'm going back to that, since I didn't get a chance to say more earlier), yes, it does happen - I've seen it happen - but that possibility went right out the window when Fea mentioned it (unless we have some incredibly careless baddies). It probably never was that much of a chance to begin with, considering that we probably have baddies just as worried about hiding from each other as hiding from us, but the meta-meta discussion was fun while it lasted, anyway.

Macalaure has not made himself one whit less suspicious in my eyes. However, because of his new signature & heartwarming defense of me, I don't think I can bring myself to vote for him toDay.
I'm sure that everybody thinks I'm so cold and calculating that the above couldn't possibly be true, and that I'm just looking for an excuse to back out of voting for him...
and I'm also sure that someone is going to call the above explanation "jumpy". That's the trouble with playing this game so much, though - you can predict the direction discussions will take, and it's tempting to do so.
Fact is, I truly don't have the heart to vote for him for those reasons, and besides, I have other suspects (who may well all be evil), and it's probably wise to reserve my vote in case I need to save myself, in any event.

And, Agan, what "points"?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

All right, kids, I know it's early. I can hear it already, "You're going to bed at 9:52? That's practically sunset!" But I'm going to do some homework in bed and I have no inclination to get back out of bed to vote.

So...

I'm thinking-

Agan blipped for me by reacting so strongly to the idea of positing theories. Yeah, I know we're not going to get any facts, but we might at least have ended up with a better idea of possibilities than if we're all stumbling around without communicating. But then throughout the day she sort of quit blipping by maintaining her stance- so now it seems like she just legitimately thought it wasn't a profitable idea, not that she was really hiding anything.

Mac blipped my radar quite powerfully. But I think it's because I'm so paranoid he's going to slip my notice like the last game we were in. I'm willing to vote for him, I think. But I'm not sure on anything, really.

Nog seems innocent, and Lommy didn't set off any alarms. Eomer seems innocent as well, though if he's not more active tomorrow (if he lives through the night) I'll try to kill him off on principle: quiet players are a waste of village space. Rikae is blipping a bit, but it might just be reactionary to other people's suspicions and I'm not willing to vote until I'm sure.

Okay...


++MAC


because I'm sleepy and of everybody in the village thus far today, he's tweaked me out most.

I don't know, Legate...if Lalaith's posts actually tasted like cinnamon, I would become very suspicious indeed.

Still: intuition is as much a part of the game as logic, and always complements the latter.


So I thought I was going to vote for Macalaure, but I've discovered that only his very first couple of posts seem jumpy/defensive. His later posts don't, so I can't vote him in good conscience now. Better go read some more.

[Nogrod]

Oh, I just had to put this first to you Agan as it really gave me the creeps when I was going to bed last night but didn't bother to go on posting about it anymore:

Why the need to underline that you were not paired up with anyone in the beginning?

Because Lommy jokingly complained to me (on MSN) about that I always want to marry her relatives and asked if I didn't know that we couldn't get paired unless it had happened in the beginning, so it just came there. I don't think it was illegal talk since it only had to do with a joke of mine, not the game itself.
