Interesting find, Zil. But it could just be a coincidence. Like, if tp makes my head hurt and your head hurt, and we both vote him for that reason - does that make us wolves?

So are we packmates, Zil?

I thought you wanted to keep him alive?

TP is sure becoming popular as a place-holder vote. Well, he's the only one that really talked toDay... For now, I don't have a good opinion on anyone else...

Edit: xed with Pitchie

I'll skip the "Weredwarves reveal", my teasing him about it and his reply to me; they're all on page 1, easy enough to find.

Also, phantom's fixation on killing the KD this early seems like a Forger trying to get an obstacle out of the way during the day, when the Watchdwarf can't protect him.
This, apparently, is where he changed his mind about tp and decided to go after him. Also, note the agreement with G55 - not the last time we see them paired.

In answer to this:

Suggesting tp, McCaber and Zil to be in collusion, but still mostly fixated on tp.

++TP
Votes tp. Again, following a lead from G55 (and Zil, who however retracted later from tp to Bom).

So far, merely from this, I'd say tp, Boro, Zil and McCaber are unlikely to be Bom's companions in Forgery. G55, on the other hand, could well be one.

The votes for Bom:
Pitch
Mith (2)
Eruhen (3)
Zil (4, retracting from tp)
wilwa (5)
Boro (6, retracting from sally; x-ed with DL, although it was still :59 on the BD clock)

wilwa of course is now a known innocent (and paid with her life for the vote). Mith and Eruhen look pretty good to me for adding wheels to the wagon. Zil and Boro see above.

G55, on the other hand, made an honourable last minute attempt to dissuade people from the Bomwagon. Again, possible packmate.

Which reminds me -

Not that you couldn't have done it unasked anyway, you know...

Don't like phantom's plan but don't like facile bandwaggon's either

This is pure hunch based on various things ..the invitation to reveal, the jump on the bandwaggon... just giving the impression of fangs and fur

++BomTombadillo

Don't like TP's plan but at moment feel it is him being clever clever rather than evil. Inclined ot keep him atm and may well do what is necessary.

Far to keen for early doors - don't pander to him.

Well, we'll see how this turns out. I do believe we'll find a good chunk of the truth this lynch.

Boro, Zil, would either of you be inclined to retract? Preferably both?

Why? I understand about Boro, but why Zil? Because he voted tp? I just don't get it.

Finduilas, you need to highlight your vote.

Edit: like this: [ highlight] ... [ /highlight] but without spaces

Yes, actually. Nothing more I dislike than a Day 1 throw away vote. It would mean I'd have to wait a day to see sally's reaction, but I'd have to wait regardless.

Oh, for goodness sakes, how do you highlight text? Whatever. Foley can count my vote or not, as she wishes.
[ highlight ]text[ /highlight ] without the spaces.

Well, I'm willing to keep phantom around for another Day, even if just to see what new schemes he comes up with toMorrow. I still think he's playing a game of Silly Beggars instead of WW, but we'll see what happens.

But, going on pure instinct here...
