It's not as if previous stats are relevant to this game anyway, assuming roles were assigned at random.

Your points are reasonable ones that I might have made myself, but I'm at a loss for whether that does anything to make you look better or worse, since evil folks can be perfectly reasonable. No, on second thoughts it makes you look better.

Agreeing with Lommy here - what? While I appreciate it that someone doesn't react over-defensively when suspected, this is a bit too nice already. And, you know, it almost works, because I feel bad voting you now since you take it so constructively and act so nicely. Honestly though, that's too much.

Great. Now this makes me want to reevaluate on Cop, because what kind of Wolf would post something like that? Well, possibly a frustrated Wolf who suddenly realised she wants to appear innocent. But seriously speaking, I can see this being an innocent's realisation that her earlier posts seem forced.

Well, now that forces me to think still about other options of vote besides Cop... but I am not sure. One other option would be Echo just because of the vote out of the blue, or Holby for similarly awkward reasoning, but I think they could both get a newbie, resp. long-time-no-see-player pass... but I don't know. Okay, vote coming in a minute. I have to decide.

P.S. And I wanted to say already two posts ago, and keep forgetting that, that Greenie's later posts make me think she is acting quite innocentish in the end.

Bah, and okay, I am not now 100% sure about it, but it is still probably my biggest suspect:

That's all folks.

EDIT: xed since my last. But good Night.

*eyebrow raise*

I was taking it well because I could see how you got that impression and I thought I could have reached that conclusion myself. Earlier on, you'll see that I didn't take Legate's suspicion so well, because I think his reasoning has serious flaws.

Now I have to work out whether you were an innocent jumping on a small thing over-excitedly, or a sorcerer looking for an opening. Lommy thought it was bad too, and Legate is certainly on the warpath.

Edit: Or maybe not! I'm confused now. Crossed since Legate's last.

I think your reaction here is wonderfully innocent, and I'm pretty okay with your first Controversial Post. At this point, I'm fairly certain you won't kill me in my sleep.

Legate's reaction to the Cop Controversy is also interesting - he doesn't jump on it as further reasoning to vote you, which could speak well for his non-sorcererarity, but he's experienced and might be wary of jumping on a bandwagon - though if that's the case, he wound up voting for you anyway, so I'm leaning innocentish on him.

Maybe it's just the end of the workday and week, but I find this confusing.

Anyway I should probably go ahead and vote, since I'm about to leave and don't know if I'll be able to make it back before DL.

A vague uneasy feeling, coupled with the apparent doublespeak above, and a forced-feeling suspicion of Kath.
