If it was totally up to me, I'd want the six Reps to be... let's see here... Celuien, Steve, Rune, Lommy, Legate, and Kath. But obviously that's not going to happen.

Hmmm.... Two hours to decide.

Anyway, I definitely plan to look back at the Day 1 voting, as now we can entirely assume the innocence of the runner up, Sally. And of course we know Boro was innocent as well, meaning that the Day 1 voting was indeed quite clear cut so far as what the baddies would be hoping for.

Um.............this is turning out REALLY bad. All of our ordos are dying randomly and no elves are falling by the wayside.

Do the Elves have the aid of some 'divine' powers, or something?

Anyway, I'm swamped at work, but I'll do my best to look things over later before I vote. I'd like the input of my constituents if possible (not that I promise to go along with your suggestions, just so you know).

I won't be voting toDay for Mira (since she's apparently a victim of the Curse), or Foley, since she really looks the most innocent at the moment.

People I think are innocent:
Phantom
Nerwen
Shasta
Mira

People I suspect so are thus probably innocent:
Foley

People I tend to trust so are thus probably furry:
Kath
Rune
Steve

People I don't particularly have feelings on:
Greenie
Legate
Lommy
Zil

I'll elaborate more on that later, but the meeting I woke up for was cancelled so I'll be going back to bed now and hopefully not waking up again until my afternoon meeting.

Now that you mention it I would love to see Kath as a rep. It would be interesting to see more from her.

++Kath for Representative

KATH SAID SPECIFICALLY TO NOT MAKE HER A REP AS SHE WON'T BE HERE.

This is suspicious.

Just got out of the shower, so to make my vote clear-

++Nerwen

Will respond in a bit.

Well, I made a mistake then. It is unfortunate, but don't expect that I remember everything that everybody says or that I always get to read all the posts.

THE VOTES:
Green-->Inzil
Foley-->Green
Kath-->Inzil (2)
Legate-->Rune
Steve-->Rune (2)
Lommy-->Nerwen
Rune-->Kath
Shasta-->Nerwen (2)

THE REPS:
Inzil
Rune
Nerwen

I would suggest not nominating anyone new unless you are quite certain everyone will show up and vote today. There are 13 of us, meaning that SIX is the MAX amount of Reps we can have, and we've already nominated five different people.

I'm not an Elf." And of course I still don't like his Day 1 comment I mentioned yesterday- his encouragement of people not to Rep-vote. His chief suspects were certainly Wilwa and I, and he said that he wanted Wilwa dead before Sally, but he voted Shasta for Rep (Shasta had been after Sally). I'm not sure if that's suspicious so much as it's... confusing.
You're still wrong about the not-voting vs random-voting, but it's useless to argue.

[highlight++Kath for Representative/highlight]
Kath? Really? I'd be interested to see it too, but not when she explicitly said she wouldn't be around at all the latter half of toDay on this thread.

So, the ones with two votes are Nerwen and Greenie. Both have already been reps, but as a plus they're not on tp's 'want' list, so maybe pretty safe.

++Greenie for rep

because she was nominated by Foley first, and Foley's one of the ones I least suspect at this point.

x/d with Shasta, Rune, and tp.

Bah. Said they both have two votes, but I meant one at that time.

Well, if Kath indeed cannot be around at all to vote, I guess it wouldn't have done me any good to make it back in time for the deadline anyway, as she would've been the only person I could've made a Rep. Bleh. Whatever.

Seems like that. Poor Shasta!

Somehow I feel malicious since tp missed a deadline.

I mean, did no one else think that at all??!! Obviously I couldn't say anything about it at the time, but it did really really annoy me that the thought didn't occur to more. People never vote completely and totally randomly. It is always based upon something. And so if someone comes on and votes before any posts have been made, the first conclusion my mind leaps to is that the person already has information!
No. First off, I would never expect the seer to be so careless even if it was Sally and secondly no one else than you could have made assumptions based on your innocence because you are the only one who knows it. (This is not to say your innocence is a fact but I just can't bother to write this in a more speculative way because it's difficult to phrase and you should get my point in any case.)

And AAAAAARGH with the modfires. Since we have already lost three ordos, can't we get one wolf modfired just to be fair?!!

And there goes my last suspect, too, proven innocent.

This game is beginning to be hopeless from my part. The only positive stuff I can come up with:
- I just became quite sure Steve is a wolf - someone has to be
- our seer is still alive
- I just managed to analyse my lack of motivation in this game: not enough visible necessity to work hard and seemingly not enough clues (because of the lesser amount of votes) but given the latest modfire I think I'm getting my motivation back slowly... we just can't afford to give up. Also, thanks to tp for making an effort toDay by those vote analyses, it made me feel a bit more hopeful.

To be really helpful -

No idea why Steve. There's something troublingly smooth in his manner and choices when it comes to suspicions and votes etc.

And no idea about Greenie and Legate. Currently thinking Legate is probably innocent and very unsure about Greenie.



I think I need a good reread, or at least a good reread of the complete vote tallies. Now I'm off to read a book, do the dishes and have dinner, but I'll be back in a few hours to start doing something about my disturbing blankness of my wolf list.

Nerwen - do you have any idea about whom you're going to vote toDay yet?
