Nog all day: Let's not lynch Phantom. Leave him for the Seer.

Nog's vote: Phantom

I believe Noggie just did a Legate.

You voted for KA, and Boro voted for KA. Did you not want to see KA lynched despite your vote or something?

That said, I'm wondering if your vote makes you look more innocent in my eyes.

You had a golden opportunity to try and get me killed, and no one could have blamed you for it given the personal history and the fact that much of the village was leaning my direction already.

But you passed it up.

I'm very pleased about it, but I didn't expect it at all. I'm shocked.

Too bad you had to waste that filibuster, Boro. Oh well. At least Fea won't auto kill us now that someone has done one.

What do you make of Nog's vote? And Shasta's vote? They both came as a complete surprise to me.

And morm- even though your vote cannot change the outcome, I'm interested to know which way you would have gone given the chance. What are your final thoughts this day?

Nog's I'm not sure about, it comes out of the blue, but I'm not really sure what he's trying to accomplish in attempting to lynch you.

Sally and Ka were the other choices, and either one of them was a wolf, and Nogrod was "saving" one of them, it doesn't make sense. I don't see what would give Nogrod the impression that either would be in trouble (if he was trying to save one of them). It's one of those votes though that can cause a bandwagon/pick up steam, if you know what I mean.

Although Shasta had the chance to lynch you, I wouldn't take that to mean anything much. If he's a wolf he could simply want the Boro/phantom comedy hour to continue, but when making the vote he definitely was thinking he was saving you. I don't think that vote really says much.

So I just got home, well not home per se. We are staying at a guest house while our floors are done. I finally was able to get internet access and I'm just catching up but from what I've skimmed I see that THE Ka will be sent to the gallows today. This is rather surprising and I wonder where it came from. I know Lommy had mused about it on and off and she started the vote but then for Boro and Shasta to jump on quickly seems odd to me. There was really not substance given for her vote, unless I am missing something.

Anyway, nice use of the fillibuster there Boro

Being that my vote is more or less irrelevant, I am going to vote with my gut...

++Lynch Boro

Finally, what does the Olympian amusement of our mod-goddesses portend? Can it be that we've been watching a brawl between innocents, and the real wolves are... I don't know... Lommy? Gil? Kath? Brinniel?~Nerwen
Or all the battling is between the wolf pack vs. a couple innocents. Or even better, there are wolves on both sides just having a blast battling eachother. I think that would amuse the modgodesses more

Nope no reasoning from me morm, I said it the only reason I voted for the Ka is because I think the phantom is more innocent.

Alright so the wolves really do have to let me live tomorrow just so I can reach 4,000 posts in this thread. I would absolutely love that.

Wouldn't you have been better off, mister wielder of 3 votes, to go with the person you suspected the most...wouldnt' they have been in the lead? Or did tummy already have 4? Like I said I'm not fully caught up on what happened for the last few hours.

Here I'll make it easier for them. I think I have backed off that doesn't mean I won't question new things that arise.

Mostly that I wanted to shock everyone by being the one to save you (not that that's why I voted... ), but Boro messed it up by saving you two seconds before I could.

Are you sure, Boro? Perhaps you should go look back at a couple of my posts.

Edit: Drat. Messed up a tag.

But Shasta did save me, didn't he? I mean, if he had voted for me rather than for KA, wouldn't I still be on the chopping block?

Yes and it would have been up to morm then.

But I bet Shasta really grinded his teeth while he was typing out his vote.

All right, Boro, I see your vote analysis. So for the most part you think their votes can't help determine where they stand?

Personally, I'm inclined to think that Nog's 180 was an Ordo trying to accomplish something or other (I'm not sure what at this point). Would a WolfNog be that risky?

Shasta's vote makes me trust him, because he passed up something that no one would suspect him for. And yet I suspect him at the same time, because he played the hero and saved an innocent. Makes him look pretty good.

But of course it's silly to suspect someone for not voting for me. If that was the case then I'd suspect a whole lot of people.
