Ok. What shall I explain?

And once I'm done, you can explain to us why you're still alive.

You can explain why you didn't vote yesterDay for starters.

I'll leave it up to you to see if you can figure out why I'm still here.

That's hardly a fair trade...

Cowardice and indecision. I thought about voting you because I didn't like the way Nogrod seemed to be going out - but I wasn't all that suspicious of you. So I was afraid to commit one way or the other, deliberated a little too long, waffled back and forth, and missed the deadline.

Incidentally, what he said as well. I was about to vote (granted part of it was intended as self-preservation, but that's not the point) because I didn't like how it was going and realized as I was making my post that I was already too late. Not that I probably would have been happy with my vote anyway, but now that I've not made it I feel even sillier.

(Also, I'll have a post on the admin thread shortly. Just a heads up)

I find your explainations rather wanting, but its too late at night here for prolonged analysis as I have to work in the morning.

I was mostly waiting around to see if...well, precisely if the two of you were going to be around right at the time the Day started.

Whatdoyaknow...

I'm off for now. See you all later.

White Tree Contemplation of Destiny.

As Togashi Satsu said in the flavour text of the aforementioned card, 'Why did I not foresee this?'

This series of events eliminated half of my suspicion list. Vy ze whey, sorry Kuru--had you voted for Kent sooner I would have not voted for you . . . Well, no use crying over spilled milk, it was a test I thought worth doing--the NIGHT kill and your post explaining it did make me suspicious of you.

Why Firefoot? I'll look at her posts and see if there's anything.

We get Kuru back for the Day, nice. I was surprised to actually see him dead because, well two voted for him but they used their bonus votes to put him over the edge. But at least we have a known innocent who can possibly help with the analysis(that took me five tries to spell...its time for bed) toDay.

Firefoot being Night killed that is a bigger surprise than Kuru.

I wish I could say more but I'm off to bed and have nothing else more to say really, lack of sleep makes my thou-SHINNY!

Lari, I bloody love you.


And I see Nilp beat me to making a vote tally. If no one minds I may do one anyway, because his is a little hard to understand (well, not hard to understand so much as not in my format and messes with my head, which is probably his purpose anyway) and I'd really like to have one handy. Any objections?


I think I'll step away for several hours *yawns* since I didn't get any sleep in the Night worrying about being killed and such. When the game's over I'll have some interesting stories to share, but for now I must take my leave.

The explanation there is clear--Kuru is Beren. Kill him once, and he returns to life for a day.

I guess that makes you our only resident Known Innocent, Kuru.

Yes and no. Remember how I said I didn't suspect anyone? I didn't. The thing was that I was pretty sure you weren't innocent, but wasn't exactly going to put Noggie on the chopping block just to save your butt when I didn't find him particularly guilty either. Also....

I wasn't prepared to make a vote (for which I apologize again) and stated so fairly plainly, along with my motivation for such action, or rather lack thereof.


Just a note to self: Kuru's innocent and I trust him, but he doesn't know everything, so don't follow him like a flipping lemming, kthnxbye.


EDIT: x'd with Form. Go to bed, dear. I know I shall be doing the same hopefully shortly.

I should be in bed by now... but a couple of quick thoughts before I do that:

1. Alonariel has been modfired. So though we have Kuru back for a day, we're down an extra innocent as well.

2. Kuru can't use his Huan power after returning from the Dead, so apart from giving us a Known Innocent who can arbitrate between our disputes (in as arbitrary a manner as any clueless confused player of this game can), that's ALSO a shot missing from our arsenal.

More thoughts if they come before I head off to Real-Life sleep... otherwise closer to the deadline.
