It may be we are built differently psychologically, but as an ordinary villager I could more or less never think to "be sure of my opinion" and if I had time to hang around a minute or two later I would like to keep my vote ready if something happens. That I would call responsible game by a villager.

I mean, yes you feel all bombastic about your suspicion (if you can, I rarely do) and vote an hour early before the DL even if you will hang around until the DL - then the seer comes revealing because of being threatened to be lynched, and you have no chance to save her/him any more because you used your vote already. Or something drastic happens and you feel you should reconsider the whole thing - but you can't as you have voted already... These things happen.

But the wolves naturally more or less know what they are ding - so they can be a lot more confident in their voting.

(Btw. what I found suspicious in McCaber's voting on D1 was not that he voted an hour and a half early, but that he explained his vote as not willing to cause a last minute chaos... Last minutes and one and half an hours are two pretty different things: and voting at the last minutes are very different if you know who's around and what are their intentions than coming from nowhere to vote at the last second.)

Blah. It clearly seems I'm not havong time to continue like this remarking on everything that I think would require a comment. Too little time and too much to read for this kind of approach.

So from now on I try to focus of just forming a generals idea for toDay.

I...don't like this vote. If she has reasons she doesn't want to share, fair enough. I've done that before, too - sometimes sharing all your thought processes is not beneficial to the village. Building a suspicion around that seems...oddly lazy, something I wouldn't expect from Boro, no matter what his role is.

I always find myself suspicious at the ones that talk the most, and in the past days Nog and Green have definitely been the most supportive, and even non-committed to accusations. They haven't been deciding votes, but have been supporting to others arguments.

Arrgh, decisions decisions. Rather, understandable decisions.

I am afraid I am going to have to trust Green here that she might be the seer, and with Bore getting suspicions since day one, I am following my gut here.

If Bor does get lynched and turns out to be a wolf, I would highly suggest our loveable insomniac troll to protect her.

Gil and Nogrod would be my top choices. I'd rather not vote Morsul, but if it came between him and Rikae, I would choose Morsul.
