I'm going to have to vote soon as well. Not sure that this is turning out to be very productive.

Thank you BG for the vote count.

On a related note: One hour and Fifty-One minutes until votes are due. If you haven't voted, start getting them up!

I think Eonwe's getting a little too much suspicion at the moment. Could be wolf-on-wolf done too well, or there could be wolvery behind it. I don't think I'll be voting him. Nerwen and Glirdan seem okay to me, so really, my only other option is -

++Morsul

I really don't feel like putting in another vote for Eonwe and making that a bandwagon. Unless you call two votes a bandwagon in which case I don't feel comfortable jumping on that bandwagon.

I'm really not comfortable with what Morsul did, and I have no problem voting for him. Since I need to put my vote in:

++Morsul

Soo.. giving Eonwe a third vote is joining/creating a bandwaggon and giving Morsul a third vote isn't?

Eonwe -> Glidran
Morsul -> Nerwen
Rikae -> Morsul
Wilwa -> Eonwe
Inzil -> Eonwe(2)
Shasta -> Morsul(2)
Autume -> Morsul(3)

Process of elimination.

Not going to vote:
Inzil, Nerwen, Rikae, for reasons stated before, BG, because it's my first game with her, Wilwa, since she's the only one I feel innocent right now, Boro and Elf-warrior, since they're not with us toDay.

See no reason to vote:
Shasta - he seems fine with me so far.

Slightly uneasy, but not going to vote:
Autume - I can't put my finger on it, but that's certainly not enough to make me vote for her.

this leaves:
Eonwe - most likely my vote right now. The evidence against him has quite piled up. But he didn't get the opportunity to respond to most of it, and I'm afraid we're fueling an ill-advised bandwaggon with no chance of stopping it, and with little evidence resulting from it toMorrow.
Glirdan - I seem to be the only one left suspecting him, which makes a successful lynch unlikely. Worse, Eonwe's jump on him makes it unlikely they're both fishmen, so as long as I'm more suspicious of Eonwe (despite all concerns), I should logically not vote for Glirdan.
Morsul - a bad vote that deserves a lynch. I don't have a good feeling about the success of a shot in the dark with him, though.

Arr, me hearties, I be not knowin' who fer to make walk the plank!

Belike I could givin' yon Morsul the business end o' me trusty cutlass, on account o' his suspicinin' o' me fer talkin' in the right proper way o' an honest buccaneer! What kind o' gentlemen o'fortune be he?

...Only, I ha' shipped with he afore, an he be always a suspectin' shipmates fer nothin'. 'Tis but his way, I reckon.

EDIT:X'd with Mac, autume, and Mac again.

I think the rule of three thing is no good. The odds of the first three being wolves is the same as any other group of three sailors. Personally, I find it suspicious a seasoned sea salt such as Nerwen would give that old fish tale any credibility. However, I have a bad feeling about Rikae's post #15. That smilied first sentence raises my internal warning bell. Yes, it could just be an innocent joke. But that isn't what my gut says. Gonna to review the thread afore I vote, but Rikae, I accuse you.

I've done a little thinking on the rule of three thing. With twelve sailors, the odds of one of the first three to speak up being a fishman is one in four. The same odds also apply for the other three groups of three, but I no longer think it suspicious of Nerwen for bringing it up. Looking at the first three is convenient and traditional, and it is day one. Although one foul creature has brought it up in the past that me memory shows me.

So, quick list

Innocent
Glirdy

Leaning towards innocent
Mac
Rikae
Zil

Unsure
Wilwa
Shasta
Nerwen
BG
Elf Warrior
Autum

Find Slightly Suspicous
Morsul
Eonwe

Between the two that I find Slightly suspicious...

I'm going to go with my gut this time and vote for

++Eonwe

Between him and Morsul, my gut is telling me to vote for him. He's been overly defensive about some of the smallest things and just seems the fishier out of the two. I've seen Morsul pull this one post and vote thing before and it usually turns out that he's innocent.

Well, I don't think Morsul is suspicious, but I think Eönwë is somewhat suspicious. The thing about fish bein' still awake after a night of killing seems to me to be an unjustified application of the game mechanics to real life.

++Eönwë

And how is that? If someone kills at night, they'll be tired in the morning.

Me hearties, I reckoned I'd had to go belowdecks afore this, but now it seems I ha' a mite more time.

So, a little more explanation fer me votin' of Eonwe: the lad be main jumpy when poked at, an' be puttin' me in mind o' the thrashing o' a fish out o' water.

'Tis a fair weak suspicion, to be sure, but 'tis early days.

An' then, I be not entire easy wi' yon Morsul-voters, even if the dog did vote me. It be puttin' me in mind o' a rescue party, that it be.

EDIT:X'd with a host; pirate grammar.

Just woke up early to see I'm in joint first place with the vote count. Wow. Apparently replying to accusations is evil (according to Wilwa); as is jokingly suggesting that someone is a fishman (or woman, in this case) because they're asleep at the wrong times (autume and others).

edit: fixed link. no x-post, which is scary because it means a lot will happen in these last minutes.
