TIG: LXV - Our fate lies with...them?

[Nessa Telrunya]

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.

++alonariel

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.

[the phantom]

Okay, so Alon and Tum are too chummy then? Is that what's going on?

Well first, have you made sure that they aren't BFF?

If so, then I suppose I could vote for Tum on the basis that one of her nick-names is too close to mine.

Still considering Rikae though. But maybe leaning Shasta overall. I wish he was here to yell at me and then maybe I'd get a better read on him.

[Macalaure]

No mention of Inziladun, phantom?

[Thinlómien]

I should really go to sleep as it's close to 5am here, but then again, I have already missed a lot of game, I can sleep tomorrow and I have no idea who to vote (I feel like maybe voting Shasta, but that's just gut-feeling and general impression stuff, and it's not Day1 anymore and we can't afford to be careless), so maybe I'll stick around until the deadline. Yay for staying awake until 6am!

edit: xed with Boro and Mac, added "until the deadline" in order to make more sense

No. Mainly because you voted for him. You've been spookily absent from my mind this game and it's creepy. I thought I remembered talking with you and working with you etc in the past but I just totally haven't hit stride. Maybe it's my fault, maybe not. Not saying you're suspicious to me. To the contrary- I have no opinion of you.

So for today I'm going to not have anything to do with you or your primary suspect.

[Thinlómien]

Shasta - I don't like his eagerness to vote Pitch, nor the sort of aggressiveness he has when phrasing it. He seems otherwise quite grumpy too, which doesn't sit right with me at all, nor does his rather hasty vote for Mira (even if he was in a hurry!), it just looks too much like a conscious bandwagon-start-try.

Inzil - his Rikae case is a bit fishy and he is a tad too self-conscious and somehow sly, but that seems to be his style so I'm not sure... doesn't come across as too honest, though, but I'd hate to vote him for so little reason...

Honestly, I hope so, because I want him to be innocent. But no. It just sounded better than 'by my side' (read, less creepy, 'cause Phantom's a creepy stalker!) so I changed it.

[Thinlómien]

Sally - backing away, are you? I got the impression you suspected him enough to consider voting him...

Who, Shasta? When did I say that?

[Thinlómien]

Phantom, stop planning a three-way tie, it's not funny if morm gets lynched because I think he's probably innocent.

In general, because in case of doubt I'd rather lynch a BFF (who have no real power except turning themselves into known innocents at will) than let a wolf get away. Not that I'm suspecting Alona and Autume particularly (well, Alona a bit).

[Macalaure]

The voting is hilarious: First Rikae was hip to be voted for, then Mira, then morm, then Inzil, now Shasta.

I have a bad feeling for toDay's lynch outcome...

edit: and I even forgot Alona...

[Thinlómien]

I'd say it all depends on what kind of chumminess it exactly is.

Let's see if this works out or not - I still have my retraction...


edit: xed with everybody since my last

[Nienna]

I agree with what's been said about Shasta. He has been acting weird toDay and his vote for Pitchwife yesterday was quite unsettling. I wish that he was here to defend himself but of all the people he seems the most suspicious to me toDay so that is taking precedence over me wanting to let him have his say.

++Shasta

[satansaloser2005]

Hmmmm....maybe I should take a look at Shasta after all. I won't be voting him toDay, but I'll see what I can find about him and his sometimes misguided psychic powers.

She's having dinner with her family, but I just texted her and she said she'd update the vote count soon.

[the phantom]

Well crap, Rikae. You say something like that so close to the deadline... And now I have to try a mad-speed goose chase to find out what the heck you're talking about. *sighs*

Here goes...

So alonariel did the place-holder thing, voting morm.

Mira...her Hakon evaluation is so weird and forced seeming to me. Her conclusion that:

...what? Really? People often submit kills while in a fit of passion?

And then her Lari eval conclusion:

Why are you so hung up on the idea of the baddies killing out of spite? It seems like you're trying to be painfully consistent and pushing that idea very hard.

I have no idea about Rikae. She feels innocent to me, and I sometimes think I can read her decently, at least compared to how well I can read others. But I am not basing this on her feeling innocent, I am basing this on Mira's conclusions being strange and forced. She's been quite evaluation-happy and really trying very hard to be 'helpful'.

I haven't had a chance to look at Izil much...Shasta is just Shasta and all I think people have on him right now is that he's scary cause he started the seer-lynch. So these last minute votes for him actually rather bother me.

Posting this and checking where the votes are at...

[Boromir88]

As an advanced warning...

I'm at the 'rents house for the week end, as they are away and I am on puppy-watching duty, and not all that thrilled. Erm...well the puppy-watching part is great, but they still have the worthless expensive piece of crap called AOL, and on top of that as they live in hick country, the only thing internet connection available out here is dial-up. Right now the 'net is being really sluggish. If I'm not on at the DL, I told wilwa to close down the day as soon as she can.

But, if it's not closed at 11, I expect silence. Anyone who is allowed can of course start their night time activities and one of us will be here as soon as possible to officially close the day and reveal the role of the person lynched. I would certainly hate to keep you all waiting too long

As a side note, since the Dark Monarch represnts all that is soul-less and wrong in the world, she must have invented AOL and dial-up.

[Durelin]

Howdy howdy...spent the day at the Ren Faire, so I'll be reading up and posting...as soon as I pick up my brother. ><

[Formendacil]

I'm almost disappointed there has been so little posting toDay. Well, relative to yesterDay anyway. Okay, not really--that'd mean I'd have a lot of catching up to do into an evening that has included fire, presents, and (thus far) three beers.

I'm pacing myself, but I might be a bit fuzzy anyway.

Inziladun's vote for Morm, as noted several times already, has an odd--even malicious--air about it. Not necessarily a baddie's vote, I hasten to say, but it's not a particularly cooperative vote and the fact that Inzil was already on my "Radar" list means that he's pulled up to the head of my lynch-candidates race.

++ Inziladun

Obviously, I can retract and change, but it'll take quite the Last Hour argument to do that--especially with Beer #4 looming somewhere on the nearer rather than further horizon.

[the phantom]

Well, now that an admittedly drunk Formendacil has voted Inzil, I certainly can't jump onto that train.

See Mac. I just knew it wasn't for me. This is a sign. It confirms it.

[Formendacil]

phantom, love, you can't say that I'm drunk--all the cool Downers will think I'm a total lightweight! I'm more of an admittedly-buzzed Formendacil who has living flesh and blood people here that are kind of distracting him from the virtual reality. (See? I'm cool! I haz real life friends--okay... family. But still!)

Even tipsy would be a bit harsh, really. I'm not even mistyping more than usual.

Yeah sure...*passes Form powerade* That stuff works the best, restores your electrolites and what not.

[Macalaure]

I really hope the wolves have already voted. Five people with 3-2 votes is an open invitation to them. I think we could use some retractions at this point.

[satansaloser2005]

I'd rather not have this at a tie, but at the same time....oh, I don't know.

I did something to alleviate my boredom/spur me to decision. Shall post shortly.

[Formendacil]

Well, as things currently stand, I'm certainly not retracting. I'm uncertain about Inzil's guilt, but I'm even less certain about Morm's, and it seems really unsporting to kill off Morm when he can't even defend himself--and said so. Especially when Inzil, who should have known this and apparently took advantage of it, is still around looking suspicious.

*is sticking around for a bit, though--the family's not calling and after a longish day, a touch of quiet is somewhat relieving*

[Thinlómien]

Haha thanks guys but really, it's nothing much, I've done it before and besides there's not much difference between 4.40 (when I finished reading) and 6, is there?

I have the feeling I might have to skim through Inzil's posts just to find out why everybody suspects him. And maybe skimmng through Shasta's posts just to find out why I suspect him might be good too.

edit: xed with Mac - ooh yes, having a look a the vote tally could be a good idea...

[the phantom]

Or maybe I'll do what I threatened earlier and try my level best to make sure the score is tied at the end.

[Thinlómien]

To me, morm looks innocentish.

I don't see the case on Inzil, but that might be just because I haven't been reading the thead so thoroughly.

Mira looks cobblerish, but she could as well be a silly ordo.

I kind of suspect Rikae, but then again, I start getting bad vibes of her everytime she gets irritated so I should have to try to figure out if I suspect her only because of that or generally.

Alona is more or less completely under my radar.

Sorry, but this just bothers me. People should retract just in case possibly all 3 wolves still have to vote? What if they actually voted for the person they found most suspicious their first vote around? Absurd! Really I guess I can't blame you because it does seem like people are using the 1 retract a day that way. Oh, well, let's just toss out a 'place-holder vote' as people have called, just to test to waters, see how people react, cause I can always retract if people find my suspicion suspicious...



So right now I would love to vote anyone who uses their retraction just for the sake of using it. Let me see who that is. Of course if none of those people have any votes yet I don't know what I'm going to do.
