I do. More fun that way.

Not necessarily. If you bandwaggon, you make the chance that the person you voted for dies much more likely, especially at certain crucial points. A person who is uncertain might not want to pronounce doom even upon the person they suspect most. Also, bandwaggons have a history of going wrong (for some reason, nobody seems to remember successful bandwaggons), so some people shy away from joining and fueling them.

Nope. Just meant to say that analysing votes is difficult. I don't like lynching people just for information. It's not really fair, and it wastes a lynch, so unless you really know the information is going to help a great deal, it's probably not worth it.


Blind Guardian looks innocent to me. Not exactly very helpful, for certain, but a fish would have to be quite gutsy to openly admit she wants to look good. Her overall tone toDay is also quite earnest, I think.

Morsul is baffling, but probably not evilly so.

Inzil sure is tense toDay.


Something else just came to mind. The fishes killed a Morsul-voter. Considering that his lack of posting was one reason he got under fire, with his one post being suspicious, the fishes could easily assume that Morsul would be able to have a more comfortable Day2 - or at least have every chance to have one such. Killing one of his voters would have been an unnecessary move. (Unless, of course, they thought Autume was the seer, but I don't remember anything about her that seemed that way.) A frame by unthreatened fishes who weren't able to think of anybody strategically better to kill appears most likely to me.


Now I have to make up my mind who to vote for. I have some vague ideas, but nothing good enough.
