It's alright Wilwa. I'll forgive ya!

Sally - hasn't done anything to make me suspicious of her. Pretty much has a thing for Boro.
Fea - has won my sympathy for today.
Hakon - hasn't posted
Boro - apparently has a thing for Sally as well. Although he was eying Lari earlier. However Lari is now dead.
Nerwen - nothing that stands out
Nessa - same as Nerwen
Wilwa - put me in the male category at some point however it's probably all the confusion from dealing with all 9 of her kids.
Nienna - was in the art room most of the day
Shasta - nothing that stands out
Formendacil - hasn't posted
Alonariel - newbie so gets free pass
Brinn - hasn't posted

Edit: x-ed with post #42 to this one

Okay, this whole thing is giving me a headache. Going back to my room to read some Shakespeare and maybe listen to my soundtrack for Wicked, if I remembered to bring it along. (I'll play Elphaba yet, just you wait....)

Just in case I don't come back down before Nightfall I'm going to do this now.

Sadly, the best I can do Day One, because I've got no other feelings other than bad vibes and she's the only one I really have at the moment.

EDIT: x'd with Fea and Tum. Oh, and Boro? I'd brave the Zoo of Death for you.

List of listmakers:

Nienna mostly summarises and when she does give an opinion, it tends to be slightly sneaky: she's wary of Sally, but quickly adds that she's been a wolf in the games the two played together recently; doesn't give an opinion of Boro, who pretty much asked people to have an opinion of him; autume did nothing for her to suspect, followed by a strange "as much as day one can have speculations" (you could add that line to almost everyone - why is it there?); adds a rhetoric "do with that information what you will" to her line about wilwa.

Wilwa's list is more straightforward and also makes more sense since she says she is voting soon. Admits that there is little to learn from it. It also speaks in her favour, I think, that she left out the non-posters.

Shasta also leaves out the non-posters and his observations are genuine to me.

And now Fea is doing it, too! She wants to kill Boro, of which I approve. Mostly joking, so there's no attempt to appear useful.

And Boro seems to be infected by the bug, too!

Autume is a newbie, right? In that case she shall be forgiven, since maybe she just did as the others did. Not much can be learned from her list, either, I'm afraid.


Also, could someone explain what exactly the fuel for the recent Nerwen-waggon is made of?

As far as I can tell, there is none, and it bugs me. Mostly because Nerwen thinks I'm hot () but still. Fea's vote seems okay to me; Sally's is the one I'm very suspicious of.

Mac looks good, besides the fact that he advocates killing me. I like his analysis of the listers. Plus his observation about the Nerwen votes, that seems an odd choice...Nerwen?

I don't know if I'd make too much out of it, the votes coming from Fea and sally. Nerwen might have just drawn the short straw. That's why I don't like lists, because sometimes if I go through everyone and still have no clues about anyone the last person I think of gets the short straw. Which is why I prefer just to poke around and see people's behavior.

But I must point out the mistake Mac. I didn't make a list, don't like lists, so don't throw me in with the list-makers, find another category to put me in if you want to kill me.

Edit: crossed with Form.

From what I can see Sally is the most suspicious. Back in High School she was obsessed with Boro and if I recall correctly Lari is the reason that they broke up. Now Lari is dead.

Before I vote, hopefully Mac you won't mind answering this...why does leaving out the non-posters speak to a list-makers favour? Don't get it.

I do promise not to give you the Inziladun treatment...and that is ask you a question, than immediately vote for you (again) before getting an answer.

I somewhat agree with Hakon about Sally being suspicious. She made more than one unkind comment about Lari (while she was still living - RIP) but then that might be too obvious to take your revenge where there are a dozen witnesses who know about your past history. She might also seem the most suspicious because she's been one of the most vocal so far, while others have remained relatively quiet thus far.

Nerwen didn't seem sneaky, just subtle. Although she did liken Lari's dress to that of a porn star's. But it is only the first Day, so we'll see...

Feel better, Fea. I'll send you a fresh batch of popsicles in the morning.

X'd with: Hakon, Fea and Mac.

Well, it's not like there's much else going on, so why not.

Listing them all is not necessarily a sign of evil. When I make lists, for example, I usually copy the living player list so I don't forget anyone. Leaving them out, however, looks innocent to me, since it looks more like an honest attempt to make sense of what we really get to see, and also since I don't see a reason why a wolf would do it: a "hasn't posted" next to an innocent name always inevitably makes the person look a tad worse, and wolves usually don't skip fellows in lists, because they might be afraid of the questions it raises once said fellow is dead.

The pull of sleep is calling me.

A few things before I go

1. Mac on Lists: I think he makes a really good point about the listers (if they are wolves) not wanting to leave out a fellow wolf. On the other hand it is something a really sneaky wolf might do. It gives a lot of deniability later when they can be like "I didn't even think to put them on my first list." Just a thought

2.

++Sally

She seems (out of everyone) the most wolf-like to me. She mentioned books a few times and even some better books to kill with.

3. Goodnight.

Before I forget/pass out somewhere.

--Macalaure

Someone grants me retractables, gotta use 'em. They've helped me before, although Mac knows me well enough to probably not get rattled over that. Probably should have used it on someone different this time. Oh well.

I doubt I can keep my eyes open until the DL today, staying up in wee hours of the morning and then getting up a few hours later to catch SVU marathons is not the best thing for you...so anyone paying attention, try and get 8 hours of sleep a day (I'm being completely hypocritical with that statement however).

Yes, though quitting the really terrible job and then finally ordering the Macbook I've been coveting for several years (and a long shower and painkillers) helped at least as much as dinner. Thank you for asking...~Fea
I was going to advocate the village to do something to you the following day if I was killed at night, since you are always out for my blood. However, because of the thank you I won't.

Let me be clear though, it's not out of sympathy or charity because of a hard day, I'm torn about you right now, I doubt that will change much, but I respect you as a player and your passion is intoxicating. It spreads like a disease I actually desire to catch along with you, don't lose that spirit because of a hard day.
