Because I happen not to find him suspicious (yet). And I partially voted you as a safeguard in case I'm mistaken about him, so be content.

*is content*

And, the Izzy-votes did not come as a surprise. They had all been saying "Oh I really want to vote her but I don't want to tie anything" without seeming to notice the other, what, three people saying the same thing.

I would like to be Simon again, because I trust my judgment more than anybody else's.

However, since Ni has informed me that I can't be Simon twice in a row, I request that you make Wilwa Simon. For the following two reasons:

1) I trust her judgment, and
2) I'm not afraid to say so.

++Wilwa

And just to get the ball rolling a bit more,

++Izzy

because after yesterDay's last minute Izzy-fest, I would assume the Seer would dream of her. And since nobody has particularly hinted toward her evilness, I'm willing to go forward under the assumption that Iz is obeykaybe.

I'm going to go ahead and cast two of my votes right now.

First too

++Wilwa

She's had sound arguments thus far, brought up some rather good points and just seems to be genuinely innocent.

My second one too

++Nogrod

I've said it many times and I'll say it again, he's logical, well-reasoned and has put forth many good ideas and points.

By the way, wilwa, I've just become convinced that you can't possibly be a wolf. My wife says you're a kangaroo.
K, so I'm back in a much peppier mood, not sure where that bout of anger came from. I re-read it and something clicked and now her post makes sense, I think all I saw was "what I don't like is...getting a....wolf" without really getting what she was actually saying. Anyway, it makes sense now.

I don't know what that last part means, but I think kangaroos are cool so I'm therefore alright with it.

I thought the rules said you couldn't be Simon for more than 2 days in a row? Could be mistaken though, especially if Mom says so. And thanks for the support!

Gonna make two of my four now:

++ Pitch cause I feel quite confident of his innocence.

++ Fea because I trust her and don't want her to perish.

So my list then I suppose looks like this (some based on posts I've commented on, others based on feeling/gut):

Trust
Fea
Pitch
Form

Mostly Trust
Nog
Lottie
Glirdan

Trust more than suspect
Inzil
Rune

Don't Really Trust
Izzy
Eonwe

Still unsure
Nerwen
Brinn


Hmm, so as it stands I may likely vote for Form, and my last could go to anyone of Glirdan, Nog or Lottie. Could still change though, I have a few more hours before I need to vote.

x'ed with Glirdy, hi buddy!

Unless they left really awesome hints, but even those can be hard to catch and are risky, especially if the dream was for a wolf. So a Seer reveal is actually almost necessary for them to be helpful. Yeah, it's way better later on in the game then on Day 1 when they've only have one dream, but to be "entirely unnecessary" is kind of rediculous, it's actually usually necessary at some point.
All I meant by that was that with luck, we could get the wolves without the drama of a Gifted reveal. I wasn't saying the Seer should never reveal.

I'll go ahead and make a couple of votes now.

++Nog

Still don't see anything wrong with him, and he can be quite valuable.

++Pitch

He's made some decent points toDay, and I don't see why he should go just yet.

I trust Pitchie more or less, but don't really want to vote him. He seems to be getting enough votes to be safe for toDay - I think I'll leave it at that and vote someone I don't want to die but doesn't have many votes.

...and back to watching guys pummel each other (read, playing Blockus while friends who actually care watch the TV).

Don´t put your faith in logic, humans are irrational beings and deffinitly not logical.

To quote a brilliant Dane "No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical"

Anyways I will go make a post a bit more helpful than what I have done so far.

Okay, I've seen some suspicion of Formy and I'm not quite sure where it's coming from. He's only made three posts, one of which was during the Night, and none yet toDay. Based on both the content and quantity of his posts, I think he sounds more like an ordo not heavily invested in the game than a wolf.

I can see why people may be gaining this trust for Nogrod. The possibility that the wolves thought Nienna a seer makes sense. The wolves main goal is to find the seer early; Nienna is not someone I'd expect as a typical Night kill this early since she often has managed to become a good lynch target during the first half of previous games. Of course, just because it's a possibility, it doesn't mean we should absolutely trust Nogrod for that reason. I agree he looks more innocent than not, partly because he has been quite sensible and has made valid points...but let's not underestimate the chance that he could very well be fooling us.

I think I'll just make a first vote now:

++Izzy

Because I'm feeling pretty good about her at the moment.

I admit I'm not as invested in this game as I should be; even after looking through posts, I can't seem to come up with anyone worthy of seriously suspecting. I do, however, agree with the point that's been made that the wolves will more likely try to look helpful in order to rack up votes. So perhaps I should take a closer look at the more helpful players:

Loslote
Nogrod
Pitchwife
Eonwe
Glirdan


Those are the ones who have at least appeared most helpful to me so far. Now, I'm sure a few are genuinely trying to help out, but I'll bet that at least one (if not two) is a wolf.

I think I might be safe- I'm actively texting somebody who's watching the game, and we actually talked about football.

I guess I don't really trust anybody, but there are certain people I feel better about and want arround for some time.

I want Formendacil to stick arround because his actions seems extremely unwolfish, it would take an insane wolf to do what he has done deliberate. (posting early and having strong ties with a packmate from the very begining)

For ones I feel OK about Nogrod, he still annoys me at times, but I have absolutely no desire to kill him in inventive ways. (It is a case about him acting as he normally does, combined with what can best be described as "good-wibes"

Wilwa seem to be her self and I think she would be a good and relative conservative choice for leader.

I also feel good about Fea, I am convinced that she would have done something absolutely insane had she been a wolf.

The rest I won't label as suspects or good guys, because I have not made my mind up about them. Some have posted alot and that often make them look good, even though a high post count shouldn't count for anything. Others I feel slightly bad about, but I have absiolutely no idea why. . .

It was actually Lottie who first brought up that idea, but I still don't believe that's why Nienna was targeted. It seems rather far-fetched.

I'm not sure what to make of Form. My reason says he'd be an unlikely wolf, because as a wolf he would seem to have been rather careless. The circumstantial evidence looks bad for him though.

I need to go back and look at the others.

So technically Fea could be Simon again if that is what's desired by the masses.

I'm gonna do another vote now:

++Form

Because I don't think he's a wolf.

I'm gonna save my last one til I have to go in an hour-ish. My vote will likely go to one of: Nog, Lottie, or Glirdy or.... maybe someone else all together, I'll wait and see what happens.

I would prefer it if Glirdan was lynched, but if that cannot happen then my only request is that I stay alive.

I can see some good points about suspecting Glirdan...but I'm not yet convinced.

I'm not sitting too comfortably with Eonwe, but I don't really have a reason for it. Gut feeling, I guess. Loslote bugs me as well, but I'm pretty sure that's because I'm convinced she has some sort of vendetta against me.

Urgh, I have Werewolf Block. And sadly, I just don't have time to look through the thread and analyse because I really need to get going on homework. Someone just kill me now and put my poor brain out of its misery... *headdesk*
