There is not much more than 20 minutes until the deadline. Are Kath, Mira, Cel, or Foley going to be here (i.e. have they said anywhere that they wouldn't be here)?

Sally- if the others don't show up then we're the last two voters and we definitely need to coordinate so we don't x-post and flush our votes on non-reps.

Frankly, dear, I do not want Vanilwa as a representative. I'd be okay with Nog, certainly, and I guess I could acquiesce to Nerwen being a choice, but not Wilwa.

I checked the admin thread, and there Foley says she won't be here at all today and only for the last couple hours tomorrow. Well well- I wonder what she'll say to being made a Rep under her circumstances.

So that means it's only Mira, Cel, Sally, and I.

If that.

Well then, I certainly won't vote Wilwa. And of course I would prefer that Nerwen not be a rep considering the two-pronged fact that she was a Rep yesterday already and she's been after me today, so I'll totally beg for you not to vote for her. Please?

Why do you think I'm unhappy about Shasta being a rep? Not only does he suspect me, I think he's pretty darn evil. Flip-flopping orc, maybe?

Anyway, I likely won't vote her. I'd be happier with Nog anyway.

Ah well, it's good to hear that.

Should you vote Nog I would hold my vote until close to the deadline in case Cel or Mira rushes in and can agree to combine votes to make a Rep out of you. And in the end, one way or the other, I won't waste my rep vote.

Heh. I was totally going to wait and see if I could get you into power.

Seriously, though....

I would like to see Nog get seconded and combine my vote with someone else to elect Sally. Anyone else around?

If you can't get someone else in power would you consider thirding Nog?

I'm back...

The rep pool seems nice, a good mix of people whom I trust (Legate), almost trust (Nog, Foley, Steve) and don't trust (Shasta). What doesn't seem nice, though, is the fact that so many people didn't vote. We don't really need that in a village where two ordos have already been modfired...

Today I'm going to
- reread what happened on the latter half of yesterDay after I left and try to draw conclusions
- decide whom I find suspicious and lobby for their death

But I'm warning you I have seemingly caught a flu and if it's the same one Agan had a week ago I may yet develop a high fever to make myself very ineffective. Currently feeling quite fine though so probably trying to get something done right now...

Barring Seer reveals, this game is all about speculation, isn't it? I'm not saying Sally must be an elf, but her behaviour really makes me suspect she is - and when you gave a more or less logical explanation as to why she and Lottie could have been elves together after all I naturally felt inclined to agree with it. Does that make sense?

Nerwen, if you're still around: who are your top suspects and why?

Also, yay for Kath's reappearance!

Wilwa, Day One (first half)
#86. Long post about how we should arrange the voting– thinks we should have many reps, with none having more than two votes.


#94. More on voting. Will not talk about tp "because Day 1s are always about him". Does not like Sally and Lottie's votes, but does not find either of them suspicious: "they enjoy doing crazy things". Will not rep-vote them, though. Likes Lommy, Legate, Boro, Nog and Greenie.


#119. Will make vote-count.


#121. Vote-count. Advises that nobody should give tp a fourth vote, and that the votes in general should be spread out.


#127. Defends her voting-plan against Steve's criticism. Might vote Nog, Lommy, Boro, Legate, Greenie, Izzy, Zil or me. (i.e. half the village!) Will decide later. Will be around at DL.


#129. Asks Fea if all reps automatically get 2 votes.


#135Declines to vote phantom, again defends her plan to Steve.


#157. Vote count. Will not vote for anyone without a vote already, in case it goes to waste. Now considering Boro or Lommy. Finds tp's vote for Cel "a tad odd", but does not object, as she likes the idea of voting some quiet people.


#159. Votes Lommy "Because I agreed with her today, and she's a very logical person, so I trust her to make a good choice."


#164, #167. Minor argument'clarification request about the voting rules.


#169.Wants to elect quiet players.


#170, #176. Banter with Fea.

#181. Suspects Foley confused Zil and Izzy. (This was the case.)


#186. Banter about votes. Will be back later.




Wilwa, Day One (second half)

#220. Is back.

#227. Is having computer problems.


#258. Banter with Fea. Phantom is being silly. Defends her voting-plan.

Has no idea who to vote; asks for suggestions:

#289. Agrees with Xed that phantom isn't suspicious:

Of Sally and Lottie:

Fine with Boro, with give Glirdan a pass for the moment, likes Xed, Shasta and Nog. Neutral about everyone else.


#295. Banter. Defends phantom.


#297. Vote count. Notes that phantom's vote will probably decide the lynch.


#298. Casts a vote each for Lottie and Sally.

Comments: Wilwa posts a lot without saying much; general tone of breathless gaiety is reminiscent of her wolf-style; only starts suspecting Lottie when the latter is clearly in trouble. So yeah, she might be a wolf– but surely only if Sally isn't, because otherwise voting them both would be an insane risk.

EDIT: typo.

I'm sorry, I haven't had much of a chance to get online at all today, and when I have tried to go on this thread I had the time to do more than read.

I'm catching up now, but here are some of my thoughts so far:


Won't vote for:
Shasta- He seems to speak sense in an innocent way. Though I thought he was evil on early Day 1. I definitely need to reread his posts when I get a chance.
Lommy- Seems a little less innocent than yesterDay, but still makes sense and says a lot that I agree with.
Greenie- Not so sure about her. She felt very innocent yesterDay, but she doesn't so much toDay. She'll be another for me to reread.
Legate- He does seem a bit unclear/abstract at times, but I don't think he's evil.
Phantom- However much he's annoyed me, I can't actually see him being evil.
Inzil- I can never read him, but so far I can't see anything bad about him.
Rune- Just looks like he's having a bit of fun (and isn't that what this is about?), in an innocentish way.

Haven't seen enough:
Kath
Celuien
Mira

Foley- She's been around more than the ones above, but I can't really get a read on her yet.
Nog- See Foley, and he doesn't seem any more suspicious to me than usually does.

No idea (so most likely won't vote just yet):
Nerwen- Not sure whether I like or dislike her, but she's leaning innocent for now.

People who don't look so good:
Sally- As than the early rep-vote yesterDay, her responses just don't seem honest. However, because of the Lottie thing, I don't think she would be as likely to be an Elf, though there still is enough of a possibility for me to be willing to vote for her.
Wilwa- Everything she says makes me more convinced of her Elvishness. And she split her vote yesterDay when she could have used them both on Lottie, which seems like a very Elvsih thing to do, as I said earlier (She can cover herself by having voted an elf, but didn't use all her voting power to actually get her killed).

edit: fixed formatting and Xed with many (including 3 votes for Xed), though that doesn't matter since I haven't caught up fully anyway.

Snerk. Poor dear, she won't know what to do with herself.


I think the Nebraskans should just overrun the thread, really.
