Sally- I do want to take a closer look at her. She had some odd interactions with people.
Fea - Could be anything.
Lari - Also needs a closer look. Something she said looked odd.
Mira - Popping in with the occasional comment, very under-the-reindeer, could be up to no good.
Lommy- Looks fairly innocent at the moment.
Leggy- Hasn't been around toDay, which is a shame. With everyone thinking him so innocent, I doubt the wolves will leave him alive much longer, and he's a good wolf-hunter.
Agan- Has seemed more innocent, although I'm far from sure.
Nogrod- He looks like the same old Nog as always, but that doesn't tell me much.
Nerwen - I don't know. Perhaps it looks innocent that she waited to vote for Gollum rather than choosing one among Mac, Brinn and Lommy. Then again, I might have done the same as a baddie. Lynching an innocent "big name" without sufficient explanation is harder to defend.
Rune -Has been suspecting people on strange grounds. Hard to read.
Berry - Newbie-ish. Can't tell much yet.
Mac- Perhaps we're better off lynching him toDay. His role could reveal a lot.
Menel- His behavior is decidedly queer. I haven't decided what I think of him.
Dury- Haven't seen enough of her to form an opinion.
Lily- Creeping me out.
Brin - Her reaction to my seer prank looks innocentish, especially if Mac is evil.

I'm tired of Mac being a baddie. Every single game I've played with him in the last two years, it seems, he's been a baddie (well, with the exception of dueling wizards). *sigh*

I'm also tired of being an ordo.

For reasons I may or may not have explained yet and I'm too tired at the moment to worry about it:

Oh, I give up. Mac, you admit your mistakes so cheerfully and calmly that I might have to consider you innocent and refrain from murderous thoughts against you at least for the time being.

Now that you said it aloud, I may as well say that it was my "horrid scenario"... because it would really be rather disastrous-ish, especially if we're not told when Frodo goes to the dark side...

Of course I'm Frodo.

When I'm turned into a wraith, I'll kill you all, and you'll never catch me! Mwahahaha! Er, well...

Yeah and we surely wouldn't catch her quickly enough after that?

Although Kitanna hasn't responded, I find it unlikely we would not get to know when Frodo is turned. At least last night's narration described the happenings in detail enough.

I'm in the process of analysing Brinn but I've been constantly distracted because for some reason everyone wants to complain to me about their problems with the opposite/same sex.

Also Lommy why does admitting his mistakes make Mac look more innocent?

On the risk of sounding like downplaying what Rikae is saying about me, her extreme flip-flopping on me is not uncommon...

If you say so. That's the way it was, though.

Alright, first, I'm not a baddie. Second, you can't know whether or not I'm a baddie. So, third, why do you say such a thing?

Rikae, would you share with us what exactly is creeping you out about A Little Green? I'm not trying to defend her, I'm really curious.

I assume it's the way I admitted it and not the fact alone. I mean, darn, if I'm bad, why didn't I just pick up the defense that Brinn gave me??


I hate being talked about so much, because it makes me talk about myself all the time, too, from which I am learning nothing about anybody else.

Because some people just prefer to do it the honest way... If I had been in your place I would probably have admitted what I had really meant, regardless of my role or what would possibly be viewed as more suspicious.

If it comforts you, I'm starting to hate talking about you, too. I'm getting tired of it.

I'm also tired of forcing myself to come up with points that can back up your guilt just because you could have said so also if guilty.

A List

Innocent
Fea - simply feels innocent. Is rational, positively ployful and calm. Admittedly, she says some weird stuff, but oddly enough it doesn't bother me much.
Mira - does not worry me, her defending Fea and Lari makes her look innocent, unless they're all wolves.
Legate - gives no reason to suspect himself, seems open and sincere.
Nerwen - rings no bells.
Rune - too aggressive to be a wolf?

Neutral
sally - flying under my radar. I would not be surprised if she was a wraith, I definitely need to keep an eye on her...
Lari - another one who's under my radar. Could be anything.
Rikae - I'm inclined to think she's not a wraith, but she could be Ferny or Underhill.
Noggie - I don't like his Gollum-voting business at all but his annoyance feels honest and innocent.
Rego - he manages to be both all-over-the-place and careful at the same time. He comments almost everything but he does not have strong opinions. I cannot decide if it's suspicious or just a thoughtful newbie learning to get a hang of the game.
Mac - no idea. I keep flip-flopping on him so much that I don't want to say anything.
Menel - slips under my ranger.
Durelin - too quiet.

Suspicious
Aganzir - she just disturbs me somehow, she feels curiously detached from the game and it reminds me of her wolvish self.
Greenie - she feels a little disturbing and sneaky, some stuff she says doesn't quite sit right with me. I think, however, that I wouldn't be half this suspicious of her if others weren't suspecting her.
Brinniel - feels suspicious, to put it simply. Her comments about the ringbearer are odd.

Rikae and Agan - as for the Frodo-thing, if Kittie does not tell us about Frodo going evil, it could be rather disastrous. Rikae would get to play gifted for a few Days and cause havoc by naming known innocents and she might even be able to draw both our gifteds out of their closets to get the issue solved.

I don't know, it just makes it look like he has nothing to hide. Which would be smart tactics from a wraith, of course, but I want to give him the benefit of doubt for now.

Elaborate.

I'm more optimistic about it than you. I just don't find it very likely that even she could have pulled it off, especially as there are people who would know she's lying.

Yes indeed - everything has two sides. And I'm not going to give him the benefit of doubt for managing to look innocent by admitting his mistakes.

I don't know what to make of Rikae and Lommy. They both look rather innocent but I seem to disagree with them on other people, especially with Lommy.

What I find interesting is that all of a sudden, even though I have hardly posted at all in the last, say, 12 hours, during the last five hours I seem to have been considered sneaky and suspicious by at least Brinn, Rikae and Lommy. Lovely. I'd love to know why is that or do they just get the same gut-feeling out of nowhere?

Elaborate.
Agan, I really think you are being too picky here. Lom's quote indicates to a feeling-based argument, and though it's useful to consider the possible causes for a feeling, I think you are demanding too much. I don't know, possibly Lommins is able to elaborate on an overall feeling such as that; what is certain, however, is that I couldn't and I don't know many who could.

I had something else to say too but I seem to have forgotten that...
