Nothing wrong with calling a bit of attention to it (like we just did). I'm actually hoping it will be spotted by the Critics and Cobbler. The question is, what will they do about it?

And if you're wondering if it's true, I would answer- at least half. Only time will tell you if all of it is true.

Sorry for not saying more, but you must understand that I can't entirely trust you.

Does anyone have a vote count, or do I need to go back and do it?

I'm here, I'm here! I totally forgot the deadline was 6:30 GMT.

And...I don't get where the Nogrod thing came up because I haven't had time to read page 4. So, I'm gonna try and do that. But...I might just vote for Gollum, because his supicion of Bowie was presented in a kinda weird, off-the-cuff way, and he hasn't amused me as much as all of the heavy hitters running circles around the rest of us.

No, that was a very staged discussion, as I'm sure he knows, hence the caution on both of our parts.

If we were Lovers, I'd just PM him. If we were critics, I'd just wait twenty minutes and PM him.

That? That was a public experiment.

Ooh should mention, that's only based on up to the end of page 4 as I've crossposted with everyone since then.

So, of those who have votes I might go with Fea or Ilya. I might be more likely to go for Ilya because I know how good Fea can be in these games if given a chance - however, I'm not sure I can handle another Fea/phantom extravaganza.

I have no good reasoning for this. Maybe it's just his style, but his posts strike me as kinda...off? contrived? abrasive? I dunno. I can't shake the feeling, though, and it's not fair to Gollum, who did post more than once a day, or Nog or Menel who're on my radar because other people put them there.

Boromir, you're being one of my favorite people right now.

One of these days somebody should host a game that consists solely of me, the phantom, and Boro. That would be great...

Boro- what do you think about all these Nog votes? I'm extremely surprised.

Do you think that tomorrow we should probably vote for someone who voted for him? Especially if he ends up lynched?

Given. But retaliating with that as the only reason is suspicious. At least to me.


However, I do hate a double lynch. Lesser (or greater, in this case, I hope) of two evils must prevail, because if we're wrong about one person we can handle that but if we're wrong about two people that could be....erm, well, bad, obviously.

Thus....

I have to leave in twenty minutes and haven't gotten ready yet, so I must vote shortly.

I don't feel like spreading out the votes anymore...among those already on the tally, I'd consider Nog, Sally, or Mac.

Nog-2, Menel-1, sally-1, tgwbs-1, Fea-1, Ilya-1, Mac- 1

It appears that Fea and Mac have both spotted something and acted well on it. Leave them alive.

TGWBS hasn't played in forever, and he certainly is willing to speak his mind and is entertaining to boot. No reason for him to die today.

I think Nog needs to be given the chance to help us. He will read carefully and analyze and accuse and by the time Day 3 comes I imagine he'll have a good idea about what's going on. Don't kill him.

Sally is great for her Phantom and Princess Bride references. And she's nice to me, and has me quoted in her sig. She must live. She'll be Wolf-killed soon enough, so don't worry about her.

Obviously.

I shall back away then. I was merely curious. Now I'm (vaguely) satisfied, and I'll behave myself.

In the mean time,

Because there's nobody else I'd rather lynch, so process of elimination dictates...
