Did not vote: Mira

Times are Central, GMT-6, known baddies are underlined and known innocents italicized. And for anyone who happens to not know, Steve is Eon.

I just want to apologize for not voting last night. There really is no excuse, but I got distracted shortly before deadline and by the time I remembered (at 1:01), it was too late. For what it's worth my vote was going to be for Gwath for the purpose of not lynching Fea.

I just did a quick numbers crunch to see where we stand right now. So forgive me for pointing out the obvious.

We're at 7 ordos, 3 gifteds, and 5 baddies (one of whom counts towards the ordo tally).

We outnumber them 2:1 at the moment. Or, statistically, one of those of us who have posted thus far toDay is playing for Sauron.

With this whole 2 kills/night thing, this margin is Not Good.

On the other hand, that makes our chances of killing a baddie at Day better.

One third of the players at the moment are evil. Keep that in mind, folks.

Do you mean in general or who are posting right now? Forgive me if it's obvious but my mind is functioning at very limited capacity at the moment.

[Mnemosyne]

Well, at the time I was typing, only Fea, Sally and I had posted. So it was literally 1 out of 3.

But in general it's true, too.

I am making no sense tonight, not even to myself!

Of course I don't know if that first statement in the post above is true or not. Statistically it's rather invalid, as it was only a sample of three--it was just a useful way of thinking about it.

And here I was about to jump down your throat as to how you could possibly be so sure of that.

...Yeah, realized that 10 seconds after I'd made that first post.

Well, there's certainly one obvious explanation....


Some ducks do have claws, after all.
