T-I-G LV Sing when you're winning

[Kath]

Have just seen Fea's posts that says the deadline is quarter past. Bah.

[Boromir88]

Vote count:

Gollum - 2 (Brinn, Sally)
Fea - 1 (tgwbs)
Ilya - 1 (Kath)

[Aganzir]

Kath some day I'm going to kill you for posting long posts so near to deadline.

I think Mac's points against Ilya were reasonable but I'm still suspicious of Mac. I was planning to go through his posts but got distracted. I'll do it tomorrow then.

I'm sorry Agan! One day I will learn to start them more than 20 minutes before the deadline.

Heh yesterday I would probably have voted a bit earlier had I not been reading your post & everything that came after it.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I was flipped out by Ilya's quote lists mostly because when I see quotes in anything I'm reading, I have a nasty habit of skipping them, because most of the time when something I read has a quoted off section like that, it's written in a language I don't know. Consequently, posts that consist almost entirely of quotes tend to completely throw me off because

1) the person looks like they're making points, but in reality they're just copy/pasting other people's out-of-context comments

2) my brain is conditioned to all but ignore them anyway (this is probably a trait singular to me, as it's caused by reading massive amounts of art and lit theory).

Basically, when I saw the lists of quotes, I harkened back to Freshman Writing Class and thought "Okay, so you filled up page space. What's your point?" I was bothered that Ilya didn't have an argument that she was supporting, instead it seemed like she was just organizing.

Which while I admit that I OCD adore organizing, I kept waiting and waiting for some sort of reasoning as to what Ilya actually thought, as opposed to what Ilya's organization skills are.

I was thrown off wholly by having to sit my way through what felt like a lot of carefully wasted space without having the payoff of Ilya actually giving us anything personal to go on.

It's like judging the opinion of somebody who's reading a script, you know? I want your own words, not somebody else's.

Probably why I write the stuff I do, and ignore the stuff with MLA citations...

I apologize that this looks like a bandwagon last minute, but I'm also not willing to cause a double lynch (or even get close) today by voting Gwath (plus I don't have time to substantiate any arguments)

so

Some do. Brinn did. Roa did. It's little effort if it makes people think you're innocent and you get by on it for a few days - and maybe the whole game.

Singling himself out from the rest of us. It just rubs me the wrong. Add this with the whole Menel voting thing and it makes me sense a critic. I think I’m going to lean towards voting for Mac tonight.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was singling myself out. That line was actually half-joking. *needs to use more smileys*

Haha, now I see Agan's post where she picked the same quotes... sadly, with a bit of a different comment...

I'll explain soon.

Do, please.


crossed since Kath

[Macalaure]

I sense the danger of a last-minute bandwaggon against me, but since I can retract my vote if necessary, I'll vote now:

++Ilya

Clearly my top suspect right now, and there seems to be an actual chance to lynch her today, so no reason to hesitate for me.

[Macalaure]

Yay! *likes to be analysed*

[Aganzir]

I think I'm voting

++Ilya

too. Besides if her role is revealed I'll have some actual evidence concerning Mac.

Gollum - 2 (Brinn, Sally)
Fea - 1 (tgwbs)
Ilya - 3 (Kath, Mac, Agan)

edit: xed with Mac. Garr I'm not liking you! (or rather I'm not liking my inexplicable gut feelings)

[Gwathagor]

Mac is seeming more innocent to me than he did earlier toDay. I am unsure about the votes against Gollum - they seem...weak, I guess? I have just the smallest suspicion of tgwbs, but it's entirely instinctive and not rationally justifiable. sally, though...seems suspicious to me, I think, for her behavior at the end of Day 1 and her pale vote for Gollum toDay.

[Gwathagor]

I actually don't have any opinion at all about Ilya. For some reason, I haven't paid enough attention to her posts to remember anything about them, so I am not sure what to make of what seems to be her (?) imminent death. Oh well.

++Sally

EDIT: Crossed! I shouldn't have bothered, it seems.

[Brinniel]

Remember that teeny tiny chance I might wake up before deadline? Yeah, amazing.

The only reason I'd retract my vote now is if someone I thought innocent was on the lynching line. But if it's Ilya on the lynching line, I could care less about saving her.

Btw, I realised I totally forgot about Ilya on my analysis. Interesting since I copy and pasted the names from Mith's living list.

Some quick thoughts:

Long quote posts don't necessarily mean guilt. Yes, I did it last time as a wolf, but I've also done it as an innocent. So have other players. People have brought up the idea that she's trying to replicate my strategy, which is possible simply because she is a newbie. Btw, when I made quote posts, I at least added one liner thoughts, or tried. She did not...which I'm not terribly fond of. I'm also not fond of her vote yesterDay.

[Lariren Shadow]

Quickly before the deadline and running away to go buy The Tudors Season 2 I'm going to go with my first thought of voting for:

++ Shasta

[Mithalwen]

Curtain falls

[Brinniel]

Also before deadline, I want to make a quick note on Sally. Reading her vote post, part of me thought, "Oh good, I'm not completely alone on my thoughts about Gollum." But another part of me is really worried, because I felt like she was just echoing me almost word for word...

[Ilya]

Hey, ya'll. I'm late to Day 2. Again. Although, bright side, if I am voted off, at least I won't have to worry about that anymore.

I don't really have time to defend myself, I guess, but, look, I'm not that good with analysis as is becoming quite obvious. I was trying to be helpful in a way that I can easily be helpful.

++Gollum

Because firstly I'm taking TP's advice, and secondly, I'd like to see Day 3.

[Ilya]

Oh, man, if my vote just counted, it's be another tie.

--Gollum

++Mac

Don't want to leave you guys with another double lynch to clean up.

[Mithalwen]

OK my post got lost in the crash

I make it Ilya 5 Gollum 2 Shasta 1 Fea 1 any dissenters?
