I'm going to have to vote and run...

I've skimmed through people's reasoning for suspecting Boro and Inzil, and the reasons make sense to me, so I'll go for one of them (admittedly I haven't read things through very thoroughly):

++Inzil

I really am sorry for my lack of participation. I don't really want to drop out of the game because we started off with so few, but I can't do anything to make my participation any better. Good luck!

x'ed with Legate

That could be the case, but there's no way to know it.

And I guess this will be all for toDay. Let's hope it goes well. Vote well, and good Night, village... may it be similarly lucky to the previous one...

And yet more. Would it be too much to ask for someone to give decent reasons before killing me?

It just ocurred to me that what strikes me as odd about your behavior ,Inzil, is that you're more upset with "lack of reasons for killing you" than pleading more on the basis of being good. Usually someone about to be lynched is all "Fine, whatever, you'll see I'm good once I'm dead and then you'll feel bad".

But you're spending so much more time defending yourself than going after others that I can't help but feel that you're getting a little desperate at being backed into a corner.

Aren't you being a bit self-contradictory? You say I should be "pleading" my innocence, yet at the same time "defending myself" makes me look "desperate".

Funny how you didn't seem to find me all that suspicious until Eomer came out with his completely unexplained "case".

Referencing the odd way your posts has sounded hardly sounds like a flimsy excuse.

Okay, so Inzil actually really didn't say much anything about anybody. During the first Day, he hardly mentioned any name at all, and even generally, he mostly just quoted somebody, commented on it, and moved on... All people he voted are dead too, so nothing to gain from that either.

If there ever was anything, he mentioned trusting Lommy:

That once again would make me think her more innocent, unless it is some sort of double-bluff, which however would be rather weird (given that she's the only one person he basically addressed before his dismissal was getting near). After he started to get the lead in the lynch, he started to question everybody who voted him or said they suspect him (Eomer, Nessa, me, wilwa), saying that he wants to see "evidence".

To Nessa, he said:

But since she is, in the light of what Eomer had left, most probably innocent, neither of this has any importance for us...

Then he was around for a while yet, and talking with LRH, which was mostly just about DL, and anyway with very little initiative on his part; his words end by

I'm simply going to assume I'm dead at this point.
So all in all, he was very "unsocial"... the main argument for me would be the bit for Lommy's innocence, there's basically nothing more.

Okay, eurgh, it's getting rather late here... I am probably going to think about my vote toDay.

Zil, your defense does seem desperate. You're asking for people to give reasons why, but you haven't yet offered any reasons not to (except the recent above nonsense).

The dear Mod God changed it, since he himself was late the first time or two.

Hmm, the way he was so sure about Inzil yesterDay, I'm not surprised he ended up being the Seer. I remember he mentioned a few times that he was sure the Seer would reveal, but I guess he decided not too. But this post of his was probably his way of getting all his information across, without actually revealing:

Quote:

Greenie - I think she's probably innocent
Inzil - obviously a wolf and must die in a gruesome fashion
Lommy - it would go against tradition to argue against her lynching
Legate - I am suspicious - reminds me of Inzi, a lot
Nessa - pure and innocent
So the only one's he's totally definite about is Nessa (innocent) and Inzil (guilty). Then there are some that he seems to feel as being guilty/innocent, but doesn't say it with the same certainty: Boro, Greenie, Lommy and Legate. Then for me and Elronhubbard he seems to just be unsure of.

So I would say that Nessa was definitely a dream of his. He wouldn't have said she was innocent so adamently if he hadn't dreamt her, knowing that if he died we'd look so closely at his supicions.

But that only covers 2 of his 3 dreams. Considering that those are the only two he's definite about, I would venture that his third dream must have been someone who was dead by yesterDay. (maybe someone should look back and see what he says about those who are dead?) I would think if his third dream was alive he would have given a definite indication like he had with Inzil and Nessa. (well at least that's what I would have done in his position, he very well could have been thinking something else)

I have an exam in the morning (probably, if the schools aren't closed from all the snow!), but after that my last one isn't for a week, so I have some spare time, so my participation this Day should be way better (more in the second half of the Day though).
