Okay, because for a sec I thought you were trying to hint to the wolves that you were the rat - the cobbler, in effect. But I respect your vote, even if it does leave me a little blue.

Balderdash! A capybara is not a rat! You have besmirched the name of a most honorable animal!

Sorry about that and nothing personal - I have to go with my strongest suspicion, you know. Sorry if you're innocent (I haven't played with you before, too, so I don't know your usual style).

I might switch at some point; if so, Inzil is a strong candidate. As for not being around until DL, he is still one of the most suspicious people and, if he were gifted, I think he would have the sense not to leave his fate dangling by being gone so long, but to at least check in.
I'm wary about the risk of lynching a gifted, but I'm also wary about the possibility "excusing themselves" might be an easy way for baddies to avoid lynching. We'll see. I also might have to switch to save myself, I'm afraid.

EDIT: Crossed with alona, phantom, Sally and Mac.

That's why I'm not sure whether to vote for him or not. Especially after yesterday.

Oh, and Lommie's back. Yay!

I've taken a closer look at Inzil and I'm going to have to vote for him. He seems to be looking pretty suspicious.

1. I've had nothing against Rikae up to this point. I don't really like the way he went after Rikae or Mac earlier toDay. Nothing wrong in doing that. To me it just didn't look right.

2. He throws out some suspicions and doesn't back them up.

3. He asks a question of morm when morm isn't around to answer. Then goes ahead and votes for morm without explaining why.

4. After yesterday I'd rather get this vote in now and not be the deciding factor in killing a Gifted.

++Inzil

Completely forgot to mention it earlier-

I saw some people saying stuff about how maybe Hakon had spotted the Bear, or that the Bear was worried he'd been spotted by him, or that Haky was blackmailing him, etc etc.

No, no, no. You can't really spot a Bear. A Bear has no special links to anyone and simply wants to not die. Just like the Ranger. And the Hunter. And every last Ordo in this gathering. He blends in. Kills can maybe clue you in on the Bear, but his behavior during the day? There's no reason for him to be any different than everyone else. And especially to even think the Bear would be spotted with any kind of certainty on the first day? And that he would actually be spooked about the possibilities of being nailed the first day? No, no, no... Not buying it at all.

Personally I would like to think that the Bear simply did us all a favor by killing one of the secondary lynch targets from the day before. Since we thought he was perhaps worthy of lynching, the Bear kills him and tells us what we need to know (his role, and therefore whether or not there was any sort of Villain-saving going on during the vote).

Perhaps old Teddy is indeed helping us catch the Villains.

Okay, wow, finally back to be able to read posts, and yay! Stuff with substance! That cures the aches from bad Elvis impersonators!


Soooo, there seem to be a lot of bandwagons to go with now, but they all sound sound. (Haha, get it?) But who really stands out?

Well, I would like to agree that alona and Tum are awfully cool with each other. But I still don't find Tum guilty, for earlier stated reasons. Alona seems a lil... Double sided this time around, I suppose. Her answers ring perfect when first read, but when pondered... could be wolf on innocent.

And I'm sorry that being voted for makes you feel so bad. Just know that this is coming from me only in-game. Nothing against you personally.
