Oh well, if you can't find it, maybe I was wrong about it in the first place. I hope so, because I've probably drawn too much attention to it now.

That is a wise suggestion.

Rikae, I think I have two theories about what you might mean. Unfortunately, they're complete opposites and neither could possibly be discussed here openly, not to mention how should be acted in either case. I guess we'll just have to see what's going to happen now.


Oh, and even though I have rarely guessed Rikae's role correctly in the past, I'm pretty sure that we're dealing with an innocent Rikae this time. And, yes, that is her personality, and the fact that it comes through genuinely and not distorted makes me feel quite confident with my judgement.

Mac, of your two theories, do you consider one of them true? And, if that one were true, would it be best to attempt to preseve all possible advantages, or sacrifice one smaller advantage for the sake of the greatest one, do you think?

Also - see, it is my personality (and doesn't that make you all feel very sorry for Mac? )

That did it...

Rikae = a baddie
Macalaure = a baddie

But they are not on the same side. I quess Rikae's team is the one that was responsibole for the deaths of Lal and Kit and Mac's team killed Legate and tried to kill me. Unless there are two more teams which kind of makes this speculation anew... and which I believe in.

But that doesn't change the basic point: they both have made their mark and have been remarkably vocal even if the timezones have been unfriendly (to Mac at least) toDay. The early voting compared with their increased activity after that is just one thing.


Here's what I think of the next ones:

Innocent
Groin
Sally


possibly innocent
Greenie

These because of what they have stated about their situation.

If one of them is a part of a lover team I just hope they will have a bad conscience and they will not enjoy their possible victory as much as they'd do if they'd played it clean...

Winning the foul way is not winning. This game is about speaking and trying to decipher what others say - not of saying "I have RL obligations and won't be around".


My concern over yesterDay's voting is that Eönwë-bandwagon. It really looked like picking the easiest possible lynchee. Now Kitanna who gave him the first vote is a known innocent but the last minute ones were:

McCaber
Gollum
Shasta


I'd bet a lot for there being at least one baddie in there trying to take the easy road.

McCaber seems to be the submarine.
Gollum seems to be the follower.
Shasta seems to be the flood-poster with not much to say.

It's very had to discern, not to say pick between them. But we have a baddie in there!

Shasta and Sally might be a team?

Otherwise Sally looks innocentish by her posting on Day1 and 2 not withstanding. Today she makes a believable explanatin of her absence. Either one would chose might tell us things.

I suspect Gwath. His Day1 voting was just terrible (the reason is given earlier) and Day2 it was questionable. But toDay he has been most smooth, defending my points to a downright excess...

Aganzir could be a baddie or then not. As I said before, she has been a bit jumpy indeed but I would leave her to you to decide. Well she has more than twenty posts more than anyone else in here... would that read a baddie? Yes she could be one!

Brinniel looks as reasonable as a she seems. And that's reason enough to suspect her? Kind of roght that is.

Fea is still an enigma to me.

Eomer we probably should lynch. Just to be on the safe side... He's a bit too careful...

All right I have to go to bed now. But taking these words from one who appears innocent, I vote:

++Rikae

Vote well!

Maybe he should be voted out just because of the way he plays?

If she is not a baddie - or if she is - we should then lynch Mac...

I have to, love. I'm sure you understand. Before today I found you suspicious, but I might have concentrated elsewhere. Today, though? With the code-talk with Mac and the twitchy reactions to everything? I can't not.

Should I trust you with this one? You're making a compelling argument - sadly it's a meta-argument you were sooo morally opposed to yesterDay... and tried to lynch me because of that...

You guys are wolves... I'm not sure if you're lovers together, probably not...

But this starts to be enough evidence. Not to count your safe and early votes.

I'll make one last look at people - don't forget I'd be more than happy to vote for those not actually playing to ease your task toMorrow. But I have to think about it for a while.

EDIT: X'd with Rikae... and surely feeling sorry for Mac...
