Immediate thoughts since they were requested; more detailed to come.

phantom doesn't feel evil - er, good? - to me. His attention getting ploys are slightly more ridiculous than when he actually has something to lose. Case and point - Seer reveal that in my opinion accomplished nothing.

Nog isn't making my head hurt, which a new and interesting experience. That does make me a tad suspicious with no backup for that though.

Mira is a pretty ridiculous fail at this game. This is what happens when people are forced to spend their entire weekend doing homework.

Ima go take a look at sally's posts for the past couple days.

sally

#4 Votes phantom for representative in her first post of the game. Either it's Elf-on-Elf (which I doubt) or she's just being silly (my money's on that option).

#8 Her posts are my two favorite numbers. Just sayin.
Anyway. Banteringly accuses Lottie of being and Elf. Responds to Dun's "siriusly? vote 4 phantom b4 he shows up?" essentially saying that if he's good she trusts his judgement, and if he's not she trusts he won't do something asinine like lynch the Seer Day 1.

#12 Promises cookies if everyone votes phantom as rep.

#13 Comments on Fea's awesome narration skills.

#48 Forgets there's only one gifted. Jokingly says Shasta and Nerwen are SoE. Is upset with Lommy yelling at her and Lottie for voting for phantom.

#63 Explains that while Days last 48 hours, only the first 24 are for voting for representatives to Glirdan. Goes to be a productive member of society.

#165 Returns. Is highly offended by suspicions of her.

#185 Clarifies nicknames.

Day 2
#326 Wants to know where suspicion of her came from yesterDay. Says Lottie's posts had air of wolfishness but didn't point it out because:
Quote:
A: I wasn't very coherent, B: I didn't want to look like I was trying to save my hide, and C: I trusted Phantom to keep me around.
Now, I know she and phantom are having some sort of love affair of ridiculousness, but past experience has shown me that he doesn't keep people around unless he has a decent reason to do so, which I haven't seen (admittedly, I also haven't really looked).

Quote:
Guilty vibes from: Vanilwa, Steve, Cel
Innocent vibes from: Nog, Legate
Insulted vibes from: Lommie
Claims voted phantom because there's few better ways to test him than to give him power, which is least dangerous on Day 1.
This is a concept I can get behind. Not so much the blind faith in him, but the testing of power thing.

#368 Defends phantom's Seer reveal as an attempt to save whoever was getting lynched (who happened to have fur and claws). Suspects he's just being tricksy again and wants to know why he didn't vote.

Responds to Shasta's suspicions that every post she made that Day was suspicious by saying she only posted once and essentially "wtfudge how was that evil?" Further response to Shasta saying that he would have preferred sally be lynched yesterDay than Lottie, who turned out to be a SoE. She's just as confused as I am on that one and
Quote:
But saying "I wish we hadn't Fenris'd someone" is never okay to say. Never. Sure, say "We should lynch Sally and see what happens and what we can learn with both of them dead" but you can't say you'd rather I was dead than a proven elf. I can't understand why you would say this unless you were one too. Sorry, kid, but it's true.
Agrees with Legate that Izzy's Night-death made sense since she was a Lottie voter.

Quote:
Basically....Shasta looks bad to me, based on that post, and Legate sees sense on many a level, which unfortunately doesn't mean he's innocent. Nerwen looks rightfully innocently frustrated with Phantom, so I won't be wanting to lynch her toDay, but I don't want her as a representative either, as I don't want Phantom dead....yet, at least.
#371 Would rather be suspected by the village and allowed to make a case for herself than Night killed.
Makes sense.

#374 Discusses fake seer reveals with Nerwen. Says doesn't think phantom had the reasoning or timing to do so. Discusses phantom with Nerwen.
Quote:
et's say Phantom is a SoB....erm, SoE. *headdesks, couldn't resist* Knowing that Phantom is a dirty, lowdown, double-crossing scumbag (with love, dear), he would likely be happy to vote for a packmate. It would make him look good, in fact. Thus, why wouldn't he just pile his votes on and say "look at me, I killed Lottie" and add to his train of Reasons Not to Suspect Phantom? It would make sense to do so, and while yes, some people would likely call him out and say "but you didn't kill her, in fact she was already dead before you voted", he would still look good to the masses, his "vote me and I won't vote you" pledge aside.

Basically, a wolf!Phantom would bus his packmate if he got the chance and it was really advantageous for him to do so. I'm not saying he would kill a packmate just because he fancied it, but I feel that he would double cross a fellow wolf/elf/thing if the situation had desired benefits. Especially if said packmate was already dead, or mostly dead, or whatever.

Granted, I'm not saying that I trust Phantom completely, because he could have thought of all the above beforehand and predicted that I (or someone else) would say this exact thing in his defense, but I think that voting for Lottie would have, in that case, looked actually worse than not voting at all.
There's a lot of phantom-defending going on here and I'm not particularly seeing any reason why. I get that they're friends in RL, but a majority of her posts revolve around him. Wolf!sally is never this blatant about protecting packmates. Based on that, I seriously doubt that she or phantom is a wolf. Well, phantom might be, but I already said in a previous post I don't think he is.

#375 Agrees with Rune that two SoE didn't team up Day 1. Asks Nerwen if she is correct in thinking that sally and Lottie are not furry together.

#380 Talks about phantom more. Points out that we know he's not the Seer.

#383 Asks why Nerwen voted Shasta for rep.

#395 Apologizes to Shasta for misinterpreting him. Then tells him his reasoning fails.
Quote:
Also, in regards to Nog's post below, I concur (on the Phantom bits). I'm not saying that I understand him, I'm saying that I can see reasoning for why his actions wouldn't be those of a wolf. Thus, for now, I want him alive.
#396
Quote:
For those who don't have time to read Shasta's list in full....

Innocent: Anyone who agrees with him
Undecided: People who haven't specifically agreed/disagreed with him....yet
Guilty: People who don't buy all his rubbish

Seriously, he even says that's his reasoning for who he trusts. Read the post.

Foley seems correct? How would you know if her suspicions are correct unless you know everyone's roles? There's no other way to know if someone is "correct", and if you know roles you're either the seer (who can't possibly know enough roles to make this kind of judgement) or a son of an elvish trollop. So....that leaves?
...K. I get she's not thrilled with this whole "misunderstanding" thing going on, but this is awfully defensive when it doesn't need to be. Either she has really strong feelings that Shasta is furry that I have yet to get to, or she's insulted and acting out. Wolf!sally generally keeps her temper in check better than this.

#424 Responds to phantom's question of if anyone else is interested in seeing what she would do as a rep by claiming she'd kill an elf. Considering voting Nog.

#433 Doesn't want Vanilwa as a rep, but would be okay with Nog and could settle for Nerwen, but doesn't say why.

#437 Is not stoked Shasta is a rep. Most likely won't vote Nerwen. Would be happier with Nog.

#439 Votes Nog for rep.

#441 Asks phantom if he'd considering thirding Nog if he can't get someone else in power.

#464 Looks at the Day 1 rep votes. Finds Lottie's vote right after hers worrisome. Wants to know if Wilwa was making so much sense why Greenie voted for Nerwen instead of her. Doesn't draw any conclusions from Nog's vote for Izzy. Is not thrilled with my phantom vote but doesn't want to lynch me yet. Finds Cel's vote for Foley interesting. Finds Foley's vote for Cel confusing but not guilt-riddled.

#472 Agrees with Nog that Wilwa is fishy. Responds to Legate that she would like to see Wilwa or Cel killed.
I'm still not sure where the suspicion of Wilwa is coming from, though...

#482 Is stoked phantom agrees that Wilwa is calculating and thus potentially evil.
There aren't Lovers in this game, right? :P

#494 Pops in to say has internet troubles and might not be back.

xed since Foley's 516.

Aaaand fail Mira for not actually saying what that massive post boils down to.

Pretty much I don't find sally all that suspicious. She's getting upset when people try to suspect her and I'm still not quite sure where her suspicion of Wilwa is coming from (although in all fairness, I very well might have missed it in the rush to get this done before DL), but nothing about that screams SoE to me.

Now I really want to know Wilwa, Shasta, and phantom's roles are just to see if I'm going to get proven wrong.

Woah, woah, woah! You guys did NOT make me a representative! I juts got home, I have less than one and half hours before deadline, and you expect me to make votes for someone to die? Gee thanks.

I'll do a crash course and see what I can do. Don't expect much, because it looks like the family's about to sit down to dinner.

What would be better - that I don't vote at all, or that I do vote? If I plan to vote, then my plan is to see why some people dislike Celuien. If I don't think she should die, my votes will go towards Sally. If I am uncertain about Celuien, I will focus on some other people and see what I think....but don't expect a very scientific or well informed vote from me.

Finally caught up.

Ok, well I can't really see why Celuien is such a suspect now. I'll need to reread her again when I'm less tired, but from what I've seen so far she just doesn't seem really innocent in any way, but she doesn't really look evil either. And she hasn't really posted enough for me to judge her.

And as I said earlier, I'd rather vote Wilwa than Sally right now, so:

++Wilwa x2++


And now it's up to Foley

Oh, good idea, I should clarify -

Both my votes are for Sally.

Re: Phantom - His rep vote is shady because it's possible he knew Foley wasn't going to be here to use it, and his lynch vote is shady for the reasons I've already stated, so... yes.

To sum up, Foley -

If you vote Wilwa, she dies.
If you vote Celuien, she dies.
If you vote Sally, Sally and Wilwa both die (and this might not be a bad thing).
If you vote anyone else, Wilwa dies.
If you don't vote, Wilwa dies.

Actually, I had it backwards. It was Sally he wanted to lynch, and Wilwa he at first said he didn't.

I'm not really agreeing with the suspicion of Wilwa right now - the most suspicious thing that has stood out for me is actually her most recent post, where she basically begs for her life.

This voting set up is quite interesting. All three people on the block had something to do with the action yesterday.

Ah hm.

Well, I looked....and did Celuien even post today? There doesn't seem to be much reason to kill her. I'll have to go back and read her Day1 posts.

I'll go eat dinner and come back and decide.

I don't like this. What's the vote tally? I don't have time to go and see.

X-posted with Eonwe and Shasta. I'll do my best to vote well, Shasta, you may be certain.
