I feel much worse about Shasta following his attacks on Kuru and Boro toDay, both because of the potential motivation behind the attacks and the manner of the attacks themselves. He seemed almost desperate to swing the momentum back against Kuru, and kept picking at little things like why Boro didn't vote yesterDay (which made sense to me, he didn't have enough time to read through properly and didn't think he had a good idea of who might be guilty yet) or why Kuru didn't want to lynch Boro toDay despite suspecting him (again, makes perfect sense, we have targets that deserve higher lynching priority). I would put Shasta at the top of my list toDay.
I was desperate, I woke up four hours before deadline!

Lottie, do me a favor here - really look at what I'm saying. We elected to no-lynch for two days in a row - is it really that far-fetched that the wolves would elect to do the same once? Especially given the position it's put Kuru in - you seem to trust him implicitly without really questioning it, based purely on "well, he claimed to have been demoralized".

And I say again, "higher lynching priority"? By my count, most of people who've expressed a preference have put Boro highest on their lists. That's highest lynching priority by default.

Yes, the idea that a thinking human being would have opinions that they would hold to under peer pressure astonishes me, too.
Not the point. Kuru deliberately misrepresented the number of people that suspect Lalaith and ignored Boro entirely.

You're getting so divorced from reality that it is almost to the point of not being worth responding to you.

Also, see my previous post.

I was doing you the courtesy of assuming you had the ability of going back and reading what people have said today, but perhaps I was expecting too much. Here, let me collate that information for you - there were two people that suspected Lalaith the most and three that suspected Boro the most.

In any case, I'm about done with you myself.

That's all well and good, but it does mean something. I wanted to lynch Lalaith, and it was your half vote against Zil that broke the tie and caused me to lynch Zil. Votes do matter, even if they are not built on a foundation of strong suspicion.
That's not my argument. My point is - Kuru may have voted Lalaith, but he did it at a time when he could have expected the votes to be tied (as, indeed, they were), and he set himself up with his comments on Inzil to look like he supported the lynch either way it went.

And, again, I don't want to lynch Boro toDAY, I'm not convinced he is guilty, so I won't advocate for that so I offer up somebody else on the suspicion list for consideration.

I'd be down for that.

I don't want Boro lynched toDAY. I don't advocate that and don't support that.

So, I'm moving to another person that appears frequently on the suspicion lists.
