Because I see with Palantíric vision.

Actually, just because I can't think of anyone at the moment who I find more sketchy.

x/d with Lottie and Kuru

Oh. Why am I "sketchy"?

I think you jumped on Lottie's suggestion veeery quickly...

Edit: x'd with Kuru.

Ah, dueling suspicions. Nice.

I never said you were a super-odd-evil-Conspirator, but if I had to pick one for a lynch it's be you.

x/d with Kuru and Legate

Except that under the present circumstances it would make absolutely no sense to lynch me toDay.

You know what would make sense? One or more wolves pushing the notion that I am a Very Suspicious Character, on whom no healing should be wasted toNight. It's such an obvious strategy that I'd have been quite surprised if no one had tried it.

Edit: x'd with Kuru.
Edit 2: word left out.

[Lalaith]

Right, I'm going to vote for rep now to avoid any risk of modfire.
++Loslote for rep please.

I don't have any strong feelings about a lynching candidate. I'm not feeling the Nerwen suspicion myself. If things get more interesting/revealing later on, it will be past my bedtime
However, barring any major excitements - if McCaber hasn't turned up maybe vote for him as he'll be modfired anyway?

I had the distinct impression yesterDAY that she was trying to signal that she had the Black Breath. I might have been off, but I had that impression. That does not make her look good to my mind toDAY.

Meaning my early Day One banter? Well you see, at the time I assumed victims were allowed to reveal outright- which they are, so actually it would be better to say I failed to guess that other players would assume they weren't. The point is that it didn't occur to me that it would be taken as a "hint".

I can’t emphasize enough how uncomfortable on many, many fronts I am with her.

Hmmn. Lottie's theory on McCaber makes so little sense to my mind that I am myself rather "uncomfortable" with anyone who thinks it does. This is not really personal... it's just that a logical inference from the game dynamic is that, having targeted me last Night, the baddies will be trying hard to discredit me toDay... so when I see people doing what seems to me like clutching at straws, well it makes me wonder, even about you, who have otherwise seemed pretty innocent.

Also-

Nerwen vs. Lottie
Is it possible they are both baddies and have concocted some kind of scheme?

Come on, how could that work?

Edit: x'd since last post.

Would you be understanding if I said I didn't want to explain?

I'm not sure, actually. I get that you might be afraid of helping the evil side by doing so.

And look, I'm not getting any particular bad vibes from you, Kuru... it's just, well, what I said about the wolves' likely strategy of trying to discredit targets means I don't think I can just let this go.

Can I put it this way: do you truly, honestly have a theory that would account for two false claims and no counterclaims? You don't have to explain it, just "yes" or "no".

Edit: x'd with Lalaith.

[Nerwen]

I'll follow suit
++Lottie for rep.

[Nerwen]

Lalaith, we don't actually have to lynch anyone.
Edit: x'd with Lommy.

Ah. I say I agree with Lottie about you, which you see as suspicious, then you vote her for rep, and put me up for a mock lynch.

Who's railroading who now?

Thank you, Lalaith for voting. I was beginning to worry you had fallen asleep on us.

Yes.

How about this:

"O Great and Wise 'erbalist, we thy 'umble charges express our great gratitude to thee for last NIGHT's good work. I, Kuruharan, son of Khoreth of Durin's Folk do 'umbly beseech thee to 'eal Nerwen of the Folk of Oz of whatever foul disease 'ath smote 'er. Unless, of course, McCaber the Absent happens to appear and claim to be sick.

I do beseech this with 'and on 'eart and in all sincerity in spite of my funny accent, which just seemed too amusing not to adopt.

Unless, of course, being Great and Wise you 'ave a better idea."

And I mean every word of it...which will hopefully further set Lottie's mind at rest about me too.

Now...on the subject of Lottie I would happily vote for her right now...except I would really like some idea of what she will vote for because there are some potential lynch victims I will absolutely not support.

And I'd prefer not to lynch anybody today.

Xed with some additional votes

[Thinlómien]

Okay, let's get a least one ball rolling.

++Lottie for representative


As for the suspicions, then, I think making a list will help me sort my thoughts out:

Nerwen - there's something a little off about her and if there's a wolvish scheme going on right now I'd bet she's involved. I find it puzzling that she's made black breath hints on both Days, even though her explanation for her behaviour yesterDay kinda makes sense. Mostly I'm just really confused as for what on earth she'd be trying to achieve as a wolf, but I'm not discounting the option she's thought things through more than I have.

Kuru - I keep flip-flopping on him. Some of the things he says sound pretty shady, sometimes he sounds very honest and, un-scheming? Definitely not a lynch priority in my mind however.

McCaber - would be nice if he appeared, but I'm getting a little pessimistic here.

Lottie - I think she's innocent.

Lalaith - hard to read, quiet and friendly. Could be anything, but would a wolf really be so confused about the rules? (Okay, we all are a bit confused about them, but she seems more than most.)

Legate - looks like innocent Legate to me so far, and I like his keeping the discussion alive and rolling.

Dun - probably on the top of my suspicion list. I am well aware I might just be jumping on a bandwgon here, but he is the one who sort of stands out as fishy. There's just something wrong about the way he questions people and their points in a kind of happily polite manner. Like, if we had a cobbler in the village, I'd be pointing fingers at him. It sort of feels like he's trying to sidetrack the discussion. (Or maybe he's just taking part and we have different priorities. But he just rubs me the wrong way.)

Boro - very quiet, appears with a ninja question about Inzil, then disappears again. Very weird. Definitely keeping an eye on him.

Shasta - so far seems like basic Shasta, slightly lurkery, loud when he gets in the mood, sharp and a little angry. (Sorry my friend. ) Not on the top of my suspicion list, but he's fooled me before.

I'll be off now for a while, then come back to mock vote. I hope everyone else will mock vote too.
