This was even more sudden than yesterDay's voting even if it took place a few minutes earlier.

Well, let's hope it went well. I kind of have a feeling we might have done good.

Boots NIGHT Five

It was a busy DAY among the guests.

Except for the hours long pauses where they just sat and stared at each other.

Then they would burst into frantic activity...and then stop.

Shastanis Althreduin suddenly leapt to his feet and cried, "I FEEL STRANGELY EMPOWERED!"

"That's nice, dear," said one of the other guests.

"Let's kill Boro," suddenly piped up one.

"Good idea," said another.

"He's wanted to die for ages," agreed a third.

"But I'm not invoking the magic words," said Boro. "I don't want to die now."

"Too bad!"

*grab*

"But...wait, waaaaaait! I don't want to die now! I have a plan...

CLUNK!!!

Those who were expecting something weird to happen were surely disappointed as his head sheared off and rolled away across the ground.

"Oh well, he's in a better place," said an oddly cheerful voice.

Those who knew his head would sheer off were mad with glee.

Boots An Announcement

The Deadline for the start of the next day will be two hours earlier at 6:00 PM US Eastern.

I have a work meeting tomorrow evening and will not be able to post at the usual time.

I'm quite sorry about this, but there is no help for it.

Boots DAY Five

bzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzz booOOOOOoop *fizzle*

"Can you believe this?!" came a voice.

That was the only noise in the NIGHT.

Suddenly, dawn came suspiciously early. Surely that couldn't portend anything.

The guests gathered round the guillotine.

As was expected by this point, their number was reduced by one.

No more Nogrod.

In spite of his absence, this promised to be a most interesting DAY.

This gets stranger and stranger. And scarier. What are all these noises meant to mean?

Well, it looks like Nogs was innocent after all, so I'm glad we didn't lynch him.
I've been thinking about what the Dead are trying to tell us (apart from the rather depressing fact that Lottie was innocent, as well). They seem to like the votes for Eonwe and Legate.
Also, if we are all still here - are we innocents still in a small majority? (5 versus 3, in that case?)
Or can the game not end until there is a Duel?

Y'all, I'm sporadically here, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get too much done in the way of big long analysis posts. Sorry to keep harping on RL issues like this.

I will get some thoughts out, though, so people can see where I stand.

I think it likely that Sally and Legate are both evil. Sally is a tonal read for me - she isn't being as happy-go-lucky and helpful as she usually is when she's an innocent. Legate is murkier for me, but I've voted him two days in a row and it's gotten very little traction both days - it makes me think he's being saved by his evil partners. In fact, the only person to actually vote Legate with me has been Boro - and I think Boro was probably an ordo like he claimed, he was sounding like an innocent to me before he died. I'm not really sure where that bandwagon came from.

Brinniel is hard for me to read because she seems very helpful, but I think I'm being swayed fairly hard by Nerwen's analysis of her. I'd like to try and develop my own read on her, but I'm putting her in the orange category for now.

Eonwe has focused on the dead thread quite a bit this game and I can't recall whom he actually suspects as being evil. Lalaith is another person who's been around - I can recall her posting, a fair amount actually! - but I'm not sure who she suspects either.

Nerwen I've read as fairly consistently innocent throughout the game and nothing has really changed for me there. I need to reread some of her arguments and make sure I'm not just being blinded by her helpfulness, but I lean good on her.

Eomer I also lean fairly good on (whaaaaaat?). I was leaning good-er, but his posts today about how Boro was likely a wolf threw me a bit, as that's not what I was thinking about Boro at all, so I may need to re-evaluate.

--------------------

Summation - I would vote Legate or Sally - maybe Brinniel - toDay.

Both of my top suspects from yesterDay are still alive.

I'm not as sure toDay about Eonwe. Mainly because he's been so quiet the last two Days (due to RL commitments as I understand), so I'd like to hear more from him.

I'm still feeling just as uneasy about Legate as I did yesterDay, so I should probably look at him some more.

There are other players I should take a look too, but that will need to wait another hour or so when I get home.
