[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Huh, okay. Quick sum, hope not to x-post with too many, and then some votes. Ha, great, right upon DL. And that's something about going to sleep early...

We can and should use guarding to actually guard someone during the Night after toDay but I think that using it to try and give us some more information for toMorrow might be a good idea. Just a thought.

Edit: x-ed since 89

I liked this post and noting that down that Nienna is speaking sensibly and I put her more into the "good feeling" part of my list.

(Oh, too bad, now I'm actually imagining him behind his computer saying "he-he-hee" in a devilish voice and the image makes me giggle. I'm evidently too tired for werewolf.)

For some reason, I was thinking the same. Actually Mr. Nog's absolutely heedless pursuit of little me makes me a bit uncomfortable, now if he's the one to speak of not-very-well-thought-through behavior of others while he's doing such things himself. He's not acting like Thomas Aquineus, from whom he apparently copies his way of placing arguments, but a bit more like the Grand Inquisitor. Shouldn't you take a deep breath, Nog?

This time it happened to be Nilp, so I asked him about that suicidal vote. But, like I found out, it wasn't much use. But just to clarify, when I want to have a mid-day chat with someone I'm often after a rather more serious contribution than some random chit-chat (like the one I ended up having with Nilp. But really, how can one have a serious discussion with that one?)

Okay, that clears it up for me.

Legate, when you come back, would you mind explaining the reasoning behind your Guarding suggestions (Nerwen and Lommy)? I agree that Nerwen's been rather reasonable in her few posts, Lommy slightly less so from my perspective; I certainly don't grudge either of them the protection, but what exactly makes them stand out from others who have talked as much? (Not meaning myself - I'm just an ordo, no use Guarding me.)

Sure. My points were just that Nerwen looks innocent to me. All her posts were helpful, logical, she didn't say much, but all she said made sense and seemed to be genuine. With Lommy, I already said that I could basically agree with what she said and I also had a good feeling from that, similarly as with Nerwen. So when choosing whom to guard, I was thinking of these two. And I was considering that maybe Lommy would be better just because of the fact that I thought there's a larger chance that she can be a Wolf (an unsuspicious one) than Nerwen, thus, I had two reasons to guard her (if you put it like that). But of course I don't really suspect any of them - it's just that IF one of them was fooling me now, Lommy seemed more possible to me.

Now that was really rude.

These sorts are usually kills early on because they leave no trail for the villagers. So that leaves Hakon and alonariel as the only two who have yet to say anything.

++Guard Hakon

alonariel gave a reason for being absent, but Hakon has said nothing.

Okay, now this is one thing I don't completely see - what reason do you actually have to guard Hakon? It's a totally throwaway thing, and I can't see any reason to do it except for trying to be fair to somebody who's not around. That's of course nice thing to do, to be fair and protect such a possible victim (with this I agree with you, that wolves often pick those people). But then, really people seldom act so "fairly" just for the fairness itself, so that's why I am asking if you have other reasons beyond that? (Maybe I should trust in nice motives, but for some reason I think it's not generally like that in WW, and not even from you, but maybe I am mistaken.)

That's very, very good point - makes me think good of McC - but of course (and I see that's been mentioned also), there is this fact that if there ARE two kills, we get a known innocent. (Who, though, btw, cannot be Night Guarded the Night after, so he's as good as dead soon - or maybe not? Because the Ranger can protect him, which of course is likely, unless he has some better person to protect.)

I've been mulling over the thread, trying to find something/someone who jumps out.

Mnemo and Wilwa both jumped out initially, but neither one feels particularly wicked. Of other, more vocal players, no one has said anything of note that I find over whelming suspicious. The only things I've seen that worried me are Mnemo's vote for Wilwa, but I think that's probably a time constraint thing, and then there's Brinn's vote for McCaber. She stated her vote would be somewhat random, but it surprises me she would pick someone who hadn't yet posted.

But I'm down to the wire and have to vote now. I will be more active on Day 2 because work doesn't fall on the deadline that day.

++Brinn

Kinda random, I don't care that she voted randomly for McCaber. That's something I would do, but she gave a reason that "he wasn't contributing" and that doesn't seem right to me. Granted my own reasons for voting Brinn aren't much better. However, I am at a loss for a real suspect.

Okay, but that actually WAS Brinn's point, to vote somebody who hasn't been around yet? Anyway, this is just plain wrong, I have a bad feeling about this, because it happens with Brinn all the time and she gets lynched for that. I am not accusing Kit because of that, but I am certainly not going to join that. (Why would I anyway. Btw I find Brinn quite good right now.)

Okay, that was a bit rude but whatever. Now let's see how much I have x-ed with and then quickly vote!
