Okay, whatever.

It'll make for the perfect narration.

Yay! Go me.

Is anyone else somewhat spooked by Brinn's flippant response to her somewhat-threatened lynching?

I realise I tend to base my judgements of people's roles in this game entirely too much on my read of their character--which means the newer the player, the more out to lunch I can be--but this seems ridiculously out of character for Brinn--or an innocent Brinn anyway.

An innocent Brinn, I'm thinking, would be royally ticked off at us for planning to kill her RIGHT before she can get more involved in the game (Brinn is a WW fiend, last I checked). So why is she so casual?

Because Brinn is an old hand at this, and won't make the same mistake Sally did. She won't overreact, go into hysterics, and try to argue her way out, beyond the brief acknowledgement that:

Which, if you ask me, is probably the sneakiest way to deflect the questions: don't focus on them, acknowledge them, and pretend they're minor.

It's all just a little too smooth for me... Rather than allaying my fears, as I expected a defensive Brinn to do when she finally got a chance to come online, this Brinn is cheerfully ready to go to the gallows, if that's what we decide.

Funnily, though, no mention of how it's not going to help the village any if we're down an innocent...

I would have thought that would have been obvious... funnily enough, I don't see you mentioning the same thing in regard to Nerwen and Fea earlier in the day, this not-mentioning-the-obvious.

Given that I didn't really reply in depth to either Fea or Nerwen, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Granted, that was also a bit of a throwaway line, tacked on because it occurred to me at the last moment, and agreed with the general tack of the post as it was already being composed--but hardly a serious argument in its own right.

It is, of course, quite ridiculously obvious. Maybe it's just the sense I get from Brinn--which is what I was trying to emphasize--a sense of slightly forced "the devil may care." Brinn's actions would have seemed normal to me, early in the day, when things can go one way or another, but we're into the homestretch now, and it just seems like she's trying too hard to blow us off the scent.

In all honesty, because I've lost my enthusiasm for WW in the last couple months. I'm trying, but I'm not sure why it feels like such a struggle. I want to play, but I just can't get myself to be my usual thoughtful self. Maybe it's the heat. Or maybe it's because I'm short on time and it's a bit of an effort to post at all (and I feel bad I'm stealing someone's computer for this). I'm sure I'll be back to my old self in the fall, especially considering the environment I'll be living in.

I feel stupid enough as it is that in the little contribution I've made, I managed to mistaken identities. Still, I blame Mac for changing his avatar. I can't remember him ever changing it before, so why confuse me now?

If you lynched me I'll not be too concerned since one wolf is already out of the way. Unless I have any strong suspicions for another contender, I'd rather see me go than a more helpful innocent. But still, I must admit I find all this bandwagoning against me a bit ridiculous.

Actually, chances are I won't be here at all toMorrow, not even to vote. Well, maybe I will in the first hour of the Day if I must. After that I should be posting more frequently, up until the following Monday (the 17th)...but chances are I'll be dead by then.

I'm tired and really ought to vote soon. Fea feels alright to me. Formy's persistence against me feels a bit odd, but not enough to vote for. I could vote Nessa since I feel her jumping on someone else's suspicion is suspicious. Or I could go with Fea in voting for a quiet player even less helpful than I've been.
