I'm trying to decide whether I should stick with my earlier suspicions (I have bad experiences of letting go of pursuing a wolf because they began to look more innocent) or vote for somebody who I haven't been suspicious of before (mainly Lommy but also Legate & Brinn, to an extent)...

Heck this is so frustrating.

As for winty, I think it's better to ignore him, regardless of his role, until he starts to post more. And if somebody tries to lynch him today "just to be on the safe side," they are either wolves or stupid. Because we just can't afford to check people out, at least as long as we don't know if there's one or two wolves.

I think I might vote and go soon. I have been waking up early today and I'm already getting slightly tired. If I knew when exactly is Lommy going to return, I would wait at least for her or somebody to post before I go to sleep, but this way I might just call it off...

After recent posts of Nerwen, I will be even more inclined to vote Agan than her, because Agan now seems like a more likely Wolf to me. She has just reached the limit of my suspicions and she behaves especially toDay a bit more careful than I think she has before. (It might be that it seems to me because the arguing has been reduced, but still it's there.) Of course especially for a lonely Aganwolf or an Aganwolf with a well-hidden packmate it will be rather easy and merry environment to move in, I am sure. She also seems to be opening herself slowly to new things and in general sort of having the back door (for the case if Nerwen is lynched and innocent?), like in the post where she lists some people, or here:

That "frustrating" part also makes me wonder if it's genuine. I am just now getting this creepy picture of Aganwolf into my head. In either case, even if we have a Cursed, I find it extremely unlikely that both of Aganzir and Nerwen are Wolves. I would right now say that Agan is a bit, little tiny bit, higher than Nerwen - probably by that one post made by Nerwen a while ago - in my suspicions.

Of course I can sympathise with Brinn's feelings concerning having Nerwen haunting the place around, however, if this was the last Day and I was to decide right now, like "put your bets on one person", then I would say Agan.

Okay. Let me think about it for a while yet, let's see if anybody posts or posted, and then I will just vote. Urgh.

Okay. Nobody seems to be around... and if I am to be decisive... let it be so.

I am really getting sleepy, so... good night, folks. And let's hope we do it right this time and celebrate after this.

That's an awfully forced-looking, creepy comment. And it has nothing to do with the fact that you voted for me.

I'm here, just a few comments, check if I cross-posted and then vote.

I don't claim either of you has to be a wolf, or that one being innocent proves the other one must be guilty. Not at all. I just personally suspect you two the most by far and can't quite decide which one of you more, so if one of you dies, I will be (most likely) next trying my other top suspect. Does that make sense?

Well, I know you can't take my word for it, but if I was Winty's fellow, I would feel like cheating if I was telling people to ignore him because of his small amount of participation.

And as for him, I agree with Brinn - we can't really afford lynching him right now, or we will be more or less in the same point as in the beginning of this Day and I also predict several players will feel like giving up. I know Winty can be a wolf and can be slipping under everybody's radar, but like somebody said about lynching Nerwen, this is not really the point when we can lynch people just to be on the safe side, especially as we already did that yesterDay with Mira.

That's really no proof, because even if she didn't say she suspected Winty, she could vote him later to save herself and look no worse because of that (although this game starts to be in the point where innocent Nerwen might do the village a favour by going felagund ...)

++NERWEN

remains my top suspect. We had seriously better get her lynched this time around, although we will undoubtedly feel stupid whatever she turns out to be.

Aganzir I'm still torn about. My feelings about her go like a rollercoaster, I can't quite make up my mind. And yes, I will really look at her more closely if Nerwen turns out innocent. (Or maybe even if she turns out guilty and the game continues because somehow a Nerwolf + Agan-cursed scenario doesn't sound as unlikely as you could fathom... )

Legate feels a bit more innocent now, although if we lynch Nerwen toDay and she turns out innocent, I'd look at him and how he smoothly backed away instead of bloodying his pretty little hands. But generally he seems honest and sort of genuinely confusedly wishy-washyish. I'm not too worries - for now.

I believe I have said enough about Winty. I also hope he comes around and posts more. Now that the amount of participants and posts has dropped substantially, maybe he'll find it easier.

Lastly, I still think Brinn and Shasta innocent. I don't think a wolf-Brinn would so ruthlessly have voted all her fellows and her tone seems genuine. Like I've said before, I can't really see Shasta as fellows with Sally or Nogrod, so I feel pretty safe in assuming him innocent, especially as he seems innocent generally too (although we do disagree on everything ).

That's all from me toDay, it'll be 2am here soon and I have to wake up at 7... eww.

Why is it "much more unlikely", Brinn?

And Lommy, I personally thought there were points against Mira yesterday - I don't think her lynch was "just in case". Winty's probably would be, but what if he is the wolf? That's what I'm trying to get you guys to see.

I made it here after all but I'm still at my friend's place and can't hang around here for long.

And if he's lynched an innocent, the last wolf/wolves are a step closer to victory because his death doesn't really reveal anything about anyone. At least in so far as I can see. And if he is innocent and the wolves manage to lynch him today and win tomorrow, well, good job.

She's outside of the apartment, busy being a game master. So I assume it's going to take her at least an hour to get home, maybe more.

Because I've been far busier today than on any other day perchance?

My selfish part would love to be lynched (or night-killed, for that matter). At least I wouldn't have to worry about who to lynch tomorrow. But I suppose it's sort of my duty to stay alive for now... being innocent and all!
You are of course free to lynch me, but I doubt it will reveal much because my innocence doesn't mean that Nerwen must be a wolf or anything...

Oh and now I know why I'm feeling uneasy about Brinn. She looks too good and sensible.
