I made inside jokes when I commented on you & skip's playing styles before you had even posted, only those are jokes everyone that has been playing WW potentially knows. And if there had been a newbie playing, I wouldn't have let it stop me doing it.
Of course we can't completely avoid inside jokes, they are bound to come up and it isn't a problem if they do, but I just think there were a little too many of them around and it wasn't really fair anymore.

Agreed, his vote looks reasonable.

Really? Generally I tend to get Night-killed for not being suspected by anyone at all. And seriously, I've never heard anyone say my style makes me an easy suspect. Therefore I'm not sure I buy your argument, either.

Ah, I disagree about both myself and Lottie. My effort at giving the village a nudge forwards was abysmal; and as for Lottie, well she admittedly hasn't said much on topic but who had, at the point when she posted? Why single her out? Is it that unusual for her to banter super early on Day 1 when nothing has really happened yet?

Just in general, then. I agree with Wilwa a lot and disagree with Agan a lot. Old news? Ploughing on, then - Pitch's post made me chuckle aloud at my screen, but apart from summarising everyone else's more or less unfruitful contributions to the game it didn't really say much. Eomer looks pretty innocentish. My hunch would say the same about Shasta, but then again I've long ago lost count of the times a Shastawolf has fooled me completely and I have sworn never to trust him again..

Wait, he votes for you and you call it reasonable?

It's ages since I've played actively but last time I participated in a game, Lottie was after you all the time. Plus I'm always suspicious of you. But now that you said it I do remember your getting night-killed pretty often, too. It's just that because you're one of my most common suspects, I automatically assume everyone else finds you fishy as well, but because I'm wrong about you most of the time I get suspicious when others suspect you. If you know what I mean.

Me too. I am of the opinion my contributions were much more substantial than Greenie's.

Just to make sure you know - the "I'm-a-wolf" jokes are another inside joke.

Yes, I do. He gave reasons for his vote that looked sound from his perspective.

Oh really? Four posts that consist mainly of the infamous inside jokes. I can definitely see what you mean.

Anyway, it's my bedtime about now (I have to get up ridiculously early for work), which means, obviously, that I need to vote in a bit.
