Okay. I won't vote for Sally. I've decided that much.

Not that I'm complaining, but any particular reason?

Mnemosyne · 02-25-2009, 11:20 PM

Also, can we try to put someone firmly in the lead before the game's almost over? I'm afraid of a lot of snipe-votes.

Yeah, but I don't think the baddies would risk being so obvious as to do a snipe on someone. Still it's a good idea, so we don't have people debating up until the last second and then realizing they're out of time.

So doing a snipe on someone is baddie behavior?

Hehe. No worse than intentionally x'ing with the mod.

Durelin · 02-25-2009, 11:27 PM

I thought about changing my vote, but...meh. I don't feel like thinking anymore.

I am pretty certain I will regret leaving things completely in the hands of those who still seem to be around, but so bet it.

As if I ever sway the vote, much less in the right direction.....

Night. Pick a good one.

Brinniel · 02-25-2009, 11:33 PM

Sally: I still think she's most likely just a silly innocent. Won't get my vote.

Hansy: I'm still not sure about him, but his behaviour has me leaning slightly towards innocent. Plus I have a bad feeling about lynching him, mainly because I fear he's just another easy lynch.

the phantom: I'm teeter-tottering on tp. I want to trust him, I really do. But he's such a tricksy fellow and very hard to read...which is why I can't let myself trust him.

Izzy: I'm still feeling rather indifferent towards her. I honestly don't have a strong reason to suspect her, but nor do I have a reason to think she's innocent. I'm tempted to vote her because if I don't and she does turn out to be evil, I'll be forever smacking myself on the head for letting her get away.

Hmm...I should take another look at toDay while I have the time.

Brinniel · 02-25-2009, 11:43 PM

One player I'd like to take a closer look at toMorrow is wilwa, as she has been floating under my radar lately. While she does have this innocentish aura about her, I don't know what kind of player she is, and for all I know she could be quite the deceptive one (kind of like Kath, who probably should be looked at too).

the phantom · 02-25-2009, 11:45 PM

This is making my head hurt.

*sigh*

I keep coming back to the fact that Izzy's death is unlikely to tell us anything.

When she was in trouble, who rescued her? Brin and I. And I already know that I'm not a partner WW with her, so one of her rescuers is certainly innocent.

Not to mention the fact that the rescue was technically unsuccessful, so perhaps you could say not enough of an effort was made for her to be a WW with helpers. And that's even assuming that Brin is the type of WW that would save a partner in that manner.

No, no, I'm not feeling a WereWolf at all. WereBear? But then you can't ever prove that without a Seer dream as there's not really anything in particular you can watch for. The most you can get on the BQ would be bad vibes, and I don't have any of those. So it would seem like a real shot in the dark to me.

Plus, despite the fact that you may feel I shouldn't talk about this, the fact remains that something funny happened with the lynch. Izzy was saved somehow. The mysterious White Queen is the only logical source for such an event, and it seems to fly in the face of reason to insist upon doing something that was somehow in some way opposed by the White Queen the day before.

I'm simply curious to see what you'll do if we let you off the hook. I reread some of your hinting and such today, and I had two new thoughts occur to me, which I will not be posting for all to see.

But the thoughts were enough to sway me, and make me think I should give you a chance to survive this day.

K. I think that means you caught on. *hugs the clever phantom* Woot!

Where is everyone else?

That makes two of us... if only I could make up my mind about the rest.

Mnemosyne · 02-25-2009, 11:27 PM

How about sniping just because someone cast a self-preservation tie-making vote?

Completely different story. Heh.

I play mafia on facebook. Sniping is just kind of evil in my book from there and bleeds over to here, but it's not really all that bad if done for the right reasons.

Like, for instance, trying to save the Ranger.
