I've been watching the goings on while doing my illustration homework and I'd merely like to point out that the only two people who said anything at all interesting made me laugh at the contradictory nature of what they said, but I'd much rather not discuss it openly.

Instead, I shall make a List.

We shouldn't kill:

the phantom, wilwa, Lari, Durelin

We should let convalesce a bit more:

Steve

We should force more participation out of:

Kath, Hansy

We should lynch one of the following:

Izzy, Brinniel, Sally, Rikae, Mnemo

Durelin- it is obvious you didn't read my vote explanation even halfway carefully. You'll notice that I said I did suspect him. Why do you keep saying that I didn't?

My explanation is that I thought Nog was not an Ordo (White Pawn). I was swinging back and forth as far as thinking him Gifted White or Gifted Black, and I was leaning slightly towards Black. Part of this was due to the fact that there were five of them versus three White Gifted. I was also reasonably sure he was not the Seer. So after mentally saying "Do it! Don't! Do it! Don't!" again and again I just sucked it up and went for it. The decision was made easier by the fact that I felt Izzy was White.

Anyway, now do you understand my explanation, and will stop saying things about it that are the opposite of what I said?

My post #425 was crossposted with all of the posts; starting with Lariren's #412. The edit page isn't working for me.. again.

Blast. I keep getting interrupted but my Durie analysis is in fact coming.

Right now I'm still unsure about Brinn (to clarify, by unsure I mean I feel uneasy about her) so I'd definitely go for lynching her. Hansy as well. Phantom stays, at least for now, and so do Kath, Steve, Izzy (although I suppose I'll bend on that), and Lari. I don't feel comfortable enough lynching them, so while I won't go out of my way to stop a lynch for most of those players I won't support it either.

If they could choose someone's vote to count twice; then it would've brought the tally to a tie yesterDay. So then, wouldn't Shasta have just said it was a tie, and randomized. Or would he have kept it secret, so as not to reveal too much about the WQ?

- insert an unforeseen short break in here. -

Okay, on to trying to organize some thoughts..

Durelin - no idea

Feanor - she seems her normal self; though what that speaks about the role she holds, I've no idea. Undecided, yet she isn't making me uneasy.

phantom - is phantom. I can never get quite a clear read on him, since he always is his jump-around self. So far, nothing raises giant red flags about him. Though, the trouble with that - is you can never really tell when he is bluffing for real, telling the truth, or bluffing just to bluff. However, I think him innocent.

Brin - no idea

Sally - She worries me. More so, because toDay - I feel she is channeling phantom in her tone. There is nothing wrong with phantom (that I know of), but it is unsettling when he is coming out in another player.

Lariren - Hmm. I find her confusing. Whether it be because she is a confused innocent, or purposely looking confused to hide something; I am not quite sure.

wilwa - she feels innocent to me. Though I would like to see more from her.

Rikae - She seems a bit quiet to me. If I remember previous games correctly, she can be quite a talker.

Eonwe - He is in an unknown category. There isn't much to go off of, and hope he is able to contribute more as he feels better.

Mnemosyne - I'm quite in the middle on her. She makes quite sense-able posts, yet every now and again, something is written that is o.O

Kath - A bit undecided about her. Toward the end of yesterDay I had thought she needed analyzing, because I wasn't so keen on her seeming regurgitation of Nog's reasoning for a vote. I think I will do it anyhow, yet wait to see what she has to say for toDay.

Hansy - While I think him most probable to be an innocent, I am not as comfortable with him toDay; as I was the previous days. Mainly, because he started out quite strong with discussion, yet has kind of pittered since then. I wouldn't vote you toDay, though I would like to see more from you buddy.

....
Looking Innocent:
Phantom, Hansy, Rikae, Wilwa

Undecided:
Eonwe, Kath, Fea, Mnemosyne

Looking notsosparkly:
Sally, Lariren

No idea:
Brin, Durelin

I think I will begin looking at Brin and Durelin; and possibly Mnemosyne and Fea more closely if there is time.. and will wait to possibly look at Kath and Eonwe.

X'd since Sally's #429

Kath · 02-25-2009, 06:30 PM

Oh, because it's come up a couple of times I should mention, my reasoning for voting Izzy wasn't a regurgitation of Nog's reasoning. In fact if it was a repeat of anyone's suspicions it was Rikae's - it was what she said about Izzy that made me take a second look.

Isabellkya · 02-25-2009, 06:58 PM

After catching up on the posts I crossed with.
Sally just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Are you having an identity crisis with phantom perhaps?

If Sally is indeed the Cobbler, then we should let her be. Though not completely toss her away and ignore her. As she would still be working against the village, and still in possession of her vote. Though her claims of roleship seem to be changing almost day to day. If not by matter of posts.

X'd since Mnemosyne's #459

Mnemosyne · 02-25-2009, 06:32 PM

Sally, I don't trust you fruther than I can throw you.

satansaloser2005 · 02-25-2009, 06:35 PM

Ahh, yeah, I mixed up things you said yesterDay (or maybe even the Day before...they start to run together...) with your post toDay.

But at least re-reading that post I know now that you can't really blame me for voting you.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-25-2009, 09:27 PM

Since then, I've decided that Mnemo ought to stay (there was something that she said to the phantom that made me want to keep her around to watch for another day, to see what I learn from it) and I also don't want to kill Rikae, because she's done nothing to set off my radar that I can think of, and believe me, I'm thinking of a good many things.

I don't want to jump on the Sally-wagon, because I want to find out what she's up to. While I agree with the phantom's irritated summary of what Sally's doing, I think of it more along the lines of "But that's what she wants you to think."

I'm voting

++Izzy

because when did we stop thinking there was something funny about her? Oh yeah, when there was a weird bandwagon against White Royalty to save her.
