I ♥ Lari. I hope you're here at the DL so I can get up-to-date voting tallies. Instead of trolling through pages to get all the votes

I can't promise I will be here (long and complicated) but I can keep up to date counts before I go.

Other than that, I have nothing else to say.

Shall I assume that Celibateman is strictly off-limits, even for you?

I was going to say Form, but he already did.

And I would say me, but I got my own post

You'll never guess what I'm eating right now...it's the only thing I have left to eat actually.

<<Really needs to go to the store.

So, with that I shall dine and observe the remaining hours. You surely don't want some italicized voice being a distraction with only 4 hours remaining.

Unsporting and an easy way out...which I guess is the same thing. Was what I was saying in a roundabout way.

*sigh* more update votes.

Rikae--> Rikae
Form--> Mira
Morm--> Hakon
Alona--> Hakon
Sally--> Hakon
Brinn--> Morm
Autume--> Hakon
--Rikae---Rikae
--Form---Mira

So Hakon 4 and that's it.

I think you disagree with the idea just because I don't. If I had fought strongly against it you'd be more open minded.

But seriously, you and Form- I assume you caught the part where I said lynching Fea wasn't our best option, but that she would be useful as a vote dumping ground should our first choice prove disasterous.

That's why I wouldn't mind seeing a couple people vote for her. That way if Hakon is about dead and comes in and says, "No, I'm the Hunter!" and is believable, we will be in a position where we can easily elevate the already dead Fea at the last minute rather than having to search for another candidate (and possibly have that one be an even worse choice).

So I'm not saying lynch her- I'm saying I wouldn't be suspicious if people were to toss a couple votes that way, and that it may even be a good risk management move. And if I recall Brin also didn't actually advise us to lynch her.

This is to announce that I won't be able to be around much longer toDay. DL is 5am for me, I've got an appointment in the morning and must get some sleep. Just so you know.

Durelin, pleased to meet you, and sorry for forgetting you in my list, but you hadn't posted then. And I'm glad Form is with us now - talking sober sense, as is his wont.

So I've got to start considering my vote. At the moment, I think it's going to be one of the Hakon-wainriders - but which one?
morm started the whole thing, but has been sound in everything else he said.
alona second, after saying that Hakon would be more quiet as a bear or wolf; also said the surveys suggestion felt weird, after speculating how the surveys may have influenced role-assignment in the same post.
Sally third, but maybe she was just being capricious.
autume fourth, without giving any reason that I can see, after saying earlier that she's suspicious of tp and Rikae (OK, that was in answer to Rikae's question about feelings, I think).
So - ???

Have to say this - Arguing that a Fea-vote is no different from a No-vote is completely pointless, considering that a person can certainly think a No-vote is just as ridiculous...except of course if used as a last minute tool.

Well, as a matter of fact I do think a No-vote is ridiculous--even in Day 1 circumstances where I don't honestly suspect anyone and would feel too tender to lynch anybody. It's just... unsporting.

Doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

Rikae's de-vote for herself reminds me that I voted for Mira last night, and said I'd probably not actually vote for her in the end. Since I'll be here, on and off at least, if not right here, for the rest of the Day, I think I can safely say I won't need it anymore. Since my first post, Mira has been delightfully under-contributive in adding more to the ridiculous length of this thread--my original grounds for voting.

--Mirandir

I do not promise, of course, that I won't vote for her again.

*has supper beside him, but hasn't touched it*
