That doesn't mean he can't be a wolf and still do it, but I'm not sure we should lynch him based on the grounds that he was the only one to split his vote.
It is possible that Nogrod simply wanted to split his vote for novelty's sake. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

Well, I've got to go read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but I'll come back and vote in a bit. At this point, nobody is standing out to me as grossly suspicious, I'm very sorry to say. I hate feeling like I have to come up with a vote at the last minute when I don't suspect anyone yet. We'll see.

I won't be voting for Nog toDay. Whether due to accident or purpose, there seems to of been a lack of understanding on both our parts?

Kent, I've no reason to.

Form, the same as above.

Pretty much no read on:
Shasta, Brin, Lari, Alonariel

I don't see what the issue is/was with Kuru and Green.

o.O about Fea. Vote with nothing added to it?

I'm tempted to vote for Sally more than Gwath.

Firefoot
Nilp looks a shade less than normal. Due to the outlaw on self-voting I think.


Oh boy, this is really ... frustrating when for the majority of the players.. is "no comment". o.O


X'd since Gwath's #357

Other than perhaps it looks pretty out of nowhere, and .... random?
I know he mentioned/pointed at Form earlier, but it didn't seem to lead up to a vote.

There, lots of reading to do.

Here are the things that stand out to me.

As I have read over the posts I have become a bit troubled by Brinniel, Firefoot and Kent.

Except for her last post, Brinniel spent the entire Day in self-justification and not really helping much in quest of wolves.

I find this rather suspicious.

For whatever reasons, which might be good ones, Firefoot has been unusually silent. She made some disturbing references to the Seer yesterday which is not really something an ordo wants to be doing. Her vote for me yesterday also seemed to come rather out of the blue.

ToDay she said at the beginning she wouldn't be around much (fair enough) and ultimately has come down hard on Nogrod.

My suspicious about her, I admit are primarily focused around her talk about the Seer yesterday.

Kent bothers me for a couple of reasons. The first is, as Firefoot mentioned, he seems so defensive about his status as a newbie, as if he is using it as a shield to protect himself from worse. He is the one who is always bringing it up. He is also a bit scattershot in his approach to things. He will say things and then back off of them.

The most troubling example of this is in post 328 where he really went out in attacking Form. I find his tone in this post to be troubling and almost underhanded in a way...especially when after making all these attacks on Form he backs away from them immediately.

I find this very disturbing.

Kent has NOT been using his newbie-status as a shield. You must have misread...all of his posts.

If that is your impression of his behavior, that is obviously up to you.

Its an impression that I don't agree with.

Newness isn't a fault and in my mind it isn't something to be defensive about as to my mind Kent consistantly has been. It seems to me that he defends himself from it so as to keep it in people's minds so that his newness will be the primary thing that people associate with him.

Kent why won't you vote for Greenie toDay, and why would you "make a necessary move to see she is not lynched", if Nog put his bonus votes on her?
-Isabellyka
Post 346 is the full explanation...

But basically I thought there was the possibility of her getting ganged up on at the deadline. As she would not be here to defend herself, and there was growing suspicion about her - suspicion that doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.

But who is the one who is doing the "constant" reminding?

Others have mentioned my newbieness more times than myself and long before I ever decided I needed to respond to it.

I'm going back and forth between Firefoot and Sally. They both look equally suspicious. And I must say, I don't care to vote either Kuru or Nogrod.

++Sally

EDIT: Did my vote count? It seems the clock hit 1am the second I clicked 'submit.'
