Mary had been happy at first, when she had taken up with the new guy in town. He was cool. He had a band. They had a kid, they got married, they settled down in a little house just outside the city limits, and Mary felt that everything she had dreamed of for her life was coming true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5VYyw-XyCw In a few months, however, it was clear that all was not well. The strain was beginning to take its toll on both of them. Mary sat out on the porch, for the most part, she who had once been so lively, and, with hollow eyes, watched the cars drive past. Some of the vehicles disappeared westward down the highway, never to return, and these she gazed after longingly. She would remain there in her chair well after the sun had set, staring out alone into the night - almost as if she was waiting, or looking for something. Then the baby would cry, and she would head back inside. He, on the other hand, has become restless almost immediately. He was rarely home: during the day, he worked construction, and at night, he would take his car - the only thing he seemed to really car about anymore - racing on the strip, in the streets, wherever. Anywhere but home, which he avoided almost as if it was haunted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NltljcANCFs And perhaps it was haunted - by the ghosts of the many dreams which had been born there and which had died so soon afterwards. On that particular evening, Mary walked home from the grocery store to find that he was gone - and not in the usual sense. His side of the closet was as bare as a bone, his drawers empty, his shoes all gone. Scattered all across the bed were the love letters he had written to her - only a year or two ago, she knew, but it felt like so much longer. She was not entirely surprised to find him gone, but it broke something in deep inside her nonetheless. She sat on the edge of the bed for hours that night, feeling so, so old, reading each letter over and over again, as she knew he must have done earlier that day. It seemed he had gone south, or west, maybe, to look for better work, but when Mary disappeared as well, no one was sure where she had gone Her baby was left on the porch of her parents' house. Some suggested that she had gone after him, and others, who pointed out that she would have needed a car for that, suggested that the police department dredge the river. But, in the end, no one seemed to care. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPobte6iqSU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFO-N01wup0 [Again, there are not necessarily any hints in the narration. I just write what makes sense in the context of the lyrics.] *** Day 3 has begun. The Living Johnny 99 - Nogrod City Dude - Inziladun Gypsy Biker - Shasta Bad Scooter - Isabellkya Crazy Janey - Alonariel Boardwalk Sandy - Sally Jersey Girl - Wilwarin Wendy - Lariren The Dead Jimmy the Saint - Morsul - The Highwayman (Hunter) Wild Billy - Glirdan - Innocent Rosalita - Loslote - Innocent Mary - Rikae - Innocent

Okay, guys, sorry for bailing for most of yesterDay. Here's what I mostly wanted to say but couldn't because of RL problems. Fairly long - hopefully not too hard on the eyes:
Quote:
Wilwa was acting rather level-headed throughout the Day, so I pegged her as innocent since Glirdan told me at one point that she usually only gets worked up when she's either gifted or a wolf. She also didn't jump on Nog's lynching of me right away, either, and waited for other opinions to come in. Lari, like myself, wanted to dip out of the restart game so I figured she wasn't gifted or a wolf. Nog I didn't have much of a feeling on until he made a case for my lynching based on Rikae thinking my comment about her was "odd." His behavior seemed bandwagon-esque. And then making a case that Rikae and I are both wolves? Lottie was someone I was completely wrong about, which makes me re-consider her somewhat flimsy scrutiny of Inzil, even though it might have just been Day 1 ordo-on-ordo. I will say that I would've voted for her, though not because of the tie but because of how she was jumping on Lari - who I'm pretty sure is innocent because of reasons stated above. People's thoughts on last Night's kill? Pretty much frames me up nicely for a lynch today. Are we thinking the wolves might have thought she was the Ranger? Sally, any luck dreaming of a wolf?

As a matter of fact I might have. However....
Since toDay may be my last Day -again- I'd like to leave you lot a bit of something to chew on. That being said, I will reveal my dream(s) at the end of the Day. With the information I have (or even without it) we've nearly a 50/50 chance of lynching a wolf, which will greatly increase our chances of winning. What I'd like from everyone is a plain and clear suspicion list with as much reasoning as possible for your choices. Anything you can give will help the cause, and I'd love to hear from each player before mid-Day if possible. Mehbe? Also. Ranger. I need some sort of way of knowing whether or not you protected me last Night. I'm clever, so are you. You'll think of something. And as for the rest of you, please don't go all half-cocked with voting and make me tell you who she is. I'll be very cross with the lot of you. So. I'm off to analyze. I believe I'll start with Nog. He's been far too quiet. (Also, the internet's being flimsy as usual so I may be only here in short doses. Never fear, though, for I'll certainly let you know what I know before the Day is out. Also also, I seem to have caught Epic Death, so if I don't show up before a few hours before the deadline someone should probably text me or something to wake me up. I'm just sayin'.)

Makes sense to me. If Sally dreamt a wolf, telling us who it is this early on in the Day would basically shut down any progress we'd make today (you know it's true).

Also, I kind of want to know how everyone feels about their lovers.
Alona, you're on. Anything to say about Shasta? ETA: Ah, Shasta's on too. Lol reverse the question as well.

Nothing really to say. We haven't PMed at all since the lover pairings were revealed.

Listen, I hardly expect you to listen to me, but perhaps you should reconsider that choice, Shasta. You never know. Alona may have insight you hadn't previously thought of. (Of course the same is also true in the other direction, I'd suspect.)
In other news, yes, Alona, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Shasta. And I'm looking forward to your list! Either of you have anything you'd like to discuss currently?

Well, it was a bloody strike-out with Lottie, but the Seer and Ranger are still standing, and our Sally-seer says there's hope.
Quote:
Actually, I can see the sense of it. Let's see... alona: What I mainly have noted is that odd comment to Rikae about being 'on the same side'. Rikae is now known to be innocent, so I'm not sure if that makes her look better or worse. I can't say I'm comfortable with her, though. Wilwa: A tough one. Seems all right, mostly. She seemed rather fixated on the PM-Pal issues for a long time, which I found rather pointless. Then again Sally also got into that act as well. Izzy: Pretty much under the radar. In my limited experience with her I tend to want to suspect her on principle, but I haven't seen anything of note yet here. Nog: Hasn't been around all that much, and has been fairly intently focused on alona, and to a lesser extent, Rikae. I tend to want to trust him, but he seems a little off this time somehow. Maybe it's just his relatively limited presence this time, which may be due to RL reasons. Shasta: Shady. Hasn't been around much at all, and I'm hard pressed to remember things he's said. He did make an interesting statement: Quote:
Lari: Pm-Pal. We've talked a fair amount, but I haven't gotten any bad feelings from her.

I think I'm getting the hang of these list things:
Nog: He is the one I'm most suspicious of at this point. He jumped on Rikae's comment out of nowhere, which seemed odd. I can sort of (a little) understand Rikae's suspicion, but his right after? Then thinking if I'm a wolf, she could be one, too. And now she's dead. This could be a frame up of me or him, but then, from what I've heard, he is experienced enough to know how to lay a good trap. "It's so obvious that it can't be him, Rikae voted for him" kind of thing. Maybe, but he's at the top of my list right now, putting aside the fact that he's voted for me two Days in a row now. Inzil: Really, the only suspicion I have of him is Lottie's Day 1 suspicion of him. Now that we know she's innocent (and dead), that might be grounds to look further in to him. But then, I've never played with him so I don't know his style and I don't have any grounded suspicions of my own at this point. Shasta: He's been flying very far under the radar, which concerns me because in RL WW he didn't at all, whether he was gifted/ordo/wolf. Sally alludes in her post that the Ranger is a girl, so that rules him out as being gifted in this game…at this point, my gut says wolf but it's not based on anything more than the feeling that he isn't being himself, which means he has something to hide... Izzy: Honestly no idea about her. I've never played with her before, so I'm not familiar with her style and she hasn't been too quiet but not too vocal, either. She hasn't picked a bone with anyone, but she hasn't been overly helpful. I really don't know where she falls on the innocent/evil radar at this point. Wilwa: Like I stated in my previous post, I don't think she's gifted or evil, just getting nice helpful vibes for her. She didn't jump to conclusions the day before and seems very innocent to me. Lari: I'm good at reading her and vice versa. Pretty darn sure she's innocent. If it weren't Day 3 and the situation so dire, I would post a rather amusing conversation I had with her the other night about a scenario in which I'm gifted and she's a wolf and vice versa.

Also, about Rikae. She wasn't much suspected and an unsuspected Rikae is a dangerous Rikae, as people might actually listen to her. Dunno.
It's possible they thought she was the ranger, but I don't think that was the case. Speaking of the ranger....*bats eyelashes*

I'm looking forward to the Nog analysis, though I do feel slightly guilty about suspecting him so much while he's not here to defend himself. Still have some leftover newbie guilt from the last game. Ugh. Gotta get rid of it.

I had a thought, Sally. Are you sure that's really wise? Isn't there a possibility the wolves could pick up on it, no matter how slyly it's done?

So I just plugged Abigail in here and decided to camp out on the couch, at least for now. Almost done with Nog and it's not looking too bright.

Post score: 0 Quote:
However, the good things I have to say about this post stop there. It seems to me he’s giving the people in his first list a free pass simply because he knows they’re trying to make him happy. He knows they’re trying to butter up, and he buys it without batting an eyelash or an orange. Such logic can be deadly in Werewolf. Of his second list I see parroting, and the sort of parroting I majorly disapprove of. First of all, notice that two of the three of his ‘suspects’ are known innocents. Known innocents! Of course they weren’t at the time of his posting but still. And I, at least, was legitimately busy and said so, yet he finds fault with the posts of those who have nothing to reply to? Rubbish, I say. You disapprove of our ‘lack of posts’ tactic, I disapprove of your shoddy logic. (I’ve more to say on this but will leave it for now.) Post score: -3. Yes, -3. This disturbs me greatly. Although I’ll give him a cookie for the lovers discussion so we’ll call it -2. Quote:
And of course now he retracts his earlier statement, or at least clarifies. He doesn’t trust all these people, he just doesn’t think they should die that Day. Completely different! (It actually is, of course, but I’ve never known Nog to be much of a flopper, so it looks like he’s setting himself up to say ‘I told you so’ if one of them does turn out to be a [fellow?] wolf. Also, he’s putting people posting over the odds of them being guilty. Not a fan.) And then he votes on nothing. Nothing, and he even admits it. Also, I’ve never known Nog to be so apologetic when he votes someone. Sounds a bit like he feels bad that he has to send the innocent Alona to her grave in order to make sure the game goes his way. Post score: -1. I feel merciful. Quote:
Post score: 0 Quote:
And....erm, thanks for losing me my bargaining “guess who I dreamed on Night One” chip. I’m not sure an ordo would say this sort of thing while the seer’s still alive. I mean fine, analyze all you want when I’m dead but until then don’t try to tell me who I dreamt. I could have bluffed quite easily that I’d dreamt someone who was alive, thus making the wolves nervous, but now it’s useless. (I mean yes, it’s true, but I had a big reveal planned for that and it’s ruined now. Rubbish.) And to be fair, I really just freaked out because he was my lover and dream conduit. Trusts me and expects drama later. I mean it is me after all. Hehe. Now that we know Lottie to be innocent I find this a bit interesting. I’m sure it was just a still relatively new Lottie being inquisitive (bless her) but for Nog to bring this up makes me shifty toward him, as saying that makes her look bad. I also feel like he’s gone fishin’ with the last statement. Post score: -3. Again. Quote:
Post score: -2 Quote:
Aaaaand again. He’s focusing solely on Alona, and I’d really like to know why. Other than that, I don’t feel like offering commentary. He’s being extremely one-minded and it’s scary. (I’m not saying that none of his points are valid arguments, just that he sticks to them even if they’re not exactly the best, and doesn’t concentrate on anyone else unless he can tie them to Alona.) Post score: -1, because he’s already far enough in the hole. Quote:
Post score: -1. Again. Quote:
Overall it doesn’t look too good for Nog. He’s single-mindedly attacking one person, and all the other people he’s even considered accusing are known innocents. It’s very troublesome. Oh, and his final score? -10/10. Red....no, mauve alert. Now since I know he’s not the ranger I wouldn’t feel entirely bad for voting him (and in fact would find it quite ironic, since he’s been posting so little that I can’t shake the bad vibes) but I’m not sure I want him as my top suspect toDay since he’s not around. I’ll certainly put him toward the top of the list though!

Also, since the dream's out of the catcher I might as well post this. I sent it to Gwath along with my second dream because it de-stressed (and distressed lol).
There was a game when Wilwa sighed When Rikae theorized and held lovers in check There was a time when no one died And Little Lottie spoke in song and PMs were in excess There was a game Then the votes went wrong I dreamed a dream of Glirdan’s role I filled his inbox with sweet whispering I dreamed that we could reach our goal I dreamed that Gwath would be forgiving Then I was full of plans and aims We hoped to dream and trick the werewolves There were PMs to be exchanged No scheme unplanned, no single plot hole But the votes came tumbling in Even though we weren’t accusing I still knew he was done in As the hunter took him down He spent a Night with me aligned He filled my inbox with his musings He texted me to save his hide But he’s gone out with Morsul now And still I dream he'll message me That we’ll defeat the wolves together But there are posts that will not be And my PM box has seen better I somehow thought this game would be So different from this thread I’m reading So better now than what I see But Morsul’s killed the dream I dreamed

With all the song parodies going on, I feel like I should do one.
Also theatre is kicking my butt, for those who think I'm "flying under the radar". Just ask Sally about the free time (or lack thereof) when you're rehearsing for a musical. Rather ironically, considering her role, we're doing "Grease". The next few nights should be pretty good for me, though, as it's the weekend.

For my last post of the night, I would like to point out that Inzil's suspicion of me is based on me referring to my reputation as a psychic. That is all.

I'm going to post this and probably not post until tomorrow morning and then vote, because I have to drive back to LA, and that's a fun six hour drive.
To be honest, I have no idea. Most people have either been silent or saying things that, while not entirely suspicious, are not entirely clear of suspicion. So I guess I'll try to same something, but I'm gonna be honest here, my list of no reads is a lot longer than my list of reads. A is for alona who is being too brash and outspoken to be (presumably) anything but innocent. As a wolf she plays safe and quiet. As an ordo she plays loud. In is for Inzil who is my PM buddy. Iz is for Izzy who hasn't said a lot and I have absolutely no idea. N is for Nog who is way quiet than I've ever seen him. I know he says he has RL things and I'm not saying that's an excuse for his quietness, but even when he had RL things before, he would be up til 5 AM posting huge epic long posts and threatened with mod fire if he didn't sleep. So does this mean that RL is really this hard or is this how Nog-wolf plays? Sa is for Sally who I see no reason to doubt. Sh is for Shasta who I've seen in RL how tricky he can be, but I still have no idea. W is for Wilwa who is on Sally's no vote list. I really have nothing else on her, either. She's been un-outstanding, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I'm of terrible no use, mostly because I seem to not know anything that's going on in this game. Blech.

What happened to Hunter?
So I have to go off to Church, I'm just popping on really quick. Once I get back I'll have the whole afternoon to read back through everything again and hopefully my list will be epic. Sally dear, you won't have it by mid day though, maybe closer to 65% into the day. I also have a staff party to go to tonight so I'll be gone for a good chunk of time, and then come back again, probably just in time to vote.

Okay. Back to read. Starting from yesterDay from when I left.
Sorry. My days (RL) have been "wake up early, head to work, go non-stop 12-14 hours, come home 10-11PM..." So I haven't actually been able to spend too much with this game. But I should have some time toDay... well, into reading first. But I'll be around if anyone wishes to discuss this or that.

Triple-posting... sadly
For D1 (bolding mine)
Quote:
We all know that it is easier to suspect someone who says a lot (not just banters but really says something). That's the sad fate of our active players who try to contribute on D1 - so I will stand beside anyone who contributes and wish to do away with slackers on D1, unless there is a strong suspicion and yadayadayada. So what is that "buttering up" thing there? I just don't get it. I said they are "doing something" eg. contributing, trying to get some discussion rolling, making points, not just hunkering down, not just trying to be as uncontroversial as possible... that's what I think everyone should do already on D1! I don't think any one of them was active "just to butter me up". That would be preposterous indeed. Quote:
If I wouldn't believe that you're the seer Sally, I would be really suspicious of your twisting of my words. Quote:

But to be honest, I had no time. I had to pick something that to me looked suspicious and try to see whether there was anything in there that would comfirm my suspicions or not. With alona there really was - and is. I really don't understand why you people don't see it. What she said to Rikae is unthinkable from an innocent mouth. None of us innocents knows anyone of the others to be on our side so we just can't "slip" that kind of thought as it is not a possible thought - at least early on D2 regarding someone who had posted like four posts or something. If you don't actually know someone to be on your side you just can't "accidentally" say "it's great we're on the same side this time"!!! But if you're a wolf who needs to deceive you could in theory make a major slip like that. It is quite odd a wolf would be that thoughtless, but it would be even more implausible for an innocent to say that!

Yes Nog, and now that I see that I still have no idea about anyone.
Ok I have to vote now because I'm making no promises about even being here for deadline. There's some rain in the forecast and I'm not taking chances. We had three people, I believe, who didn't vote yesterDay. So I'm not voting Sally. Mostly because I'm inclined to believe her. I'm not voting Nog because if he is innocent he could sniff out a wolf. And we have to get a wolf toDay, unless the Ranger was daring last Night. Because we will be equal toMorrow. So that leaves Alona, Inzil, Izzy, Shasta, and Wilwa as possible votes. Not voting Alona because I still think she's playing way to loud to be a wolf. Her wolf style is quiet and on the sidelines. Wilwa was on Sally's no vote list yesterDay and I have nothing really on her so I'm not really ok with voting for her. And that leaves Inzil, Izzy, and Shasta. I have no idea. Do I believe what I've been told? Well, I'm left with three. And there are three wolves. Which means odds are that one of them is a wolf. I know Shasta is busy but he could also just be flying under the radar. It could happen. And out of all of them, I think I'm going to go with Shasta. ++Shasta And this time I do want to vote him.

And let's be honest, I'm not a good enough player to escape the Seer's notice, convince both her and other players I'm innocent and rack up so much suspicion against you in the process. Unless this whole thing is ordo-on-ordo and I really am that clumsy. This is only my third online WW game, I'm still learning. And I still make slips like the one I made when referring to Rikae, though I didn't think of it as a slip at the time. Obviously. I'll say this, too, if I were a wolf this game, Lari would have been the first Night kill, end of story. Side note: I'm probably taking this more personal than normal, but that's mainly due to RL. I'm not exactly in my best frame of mind at the moment. Probably shouldn't even be playing, but it's a great escape and I need one of those right now.

Sounds reasonable to me. Depending on what Sally has to say later, I could well follow suit. And you're right, of course. If an innocent is lynched toDay, it's very likely going to be a wolf win. As it is now, the ratio of innocents to wolves stands at 5:3. If an innocent goes toDay, it'll be 4:3 toNight, and all they'll need is one more kill.

Here's the votes from D1 & D2. Known innocents are bolded.
(EDIT: the X in front of Izzy & Lari are the "wrong deadline votes) D1 Nog -> alona wilwa -> Sally Lottie -> Inzil Rikae -> Glirdy Inzil -> Lottie X Izzy -> Shasta X Lari -> Shasta2 Morsul -> Glirdy2 (Lari -- Shasta? = not valid) Glirdy -> Morsul alona -> Morsul2 Shasta -> Morsul3 hunter reveal Glirdan target Sally -> Shasta3 flip coin: Morsul dies -> Glirdy dies D2 Nog -> alona Lari -> Lottie - .10 wilwa -> Shasta - .04 Inzil -> Lottie2 - .02 Lottie -> alona2 - .02 Rikae -> Nog - .01 Izzy -> wilwa Did not vote: alona, Sally, Shasta Seemingly a flip of coin once again? -> Lottie dies Interestingly the three who didn't vote on D2 were the first to post toDay...

So I re-read from the beginning and quoted a bunch of stuff and here they are with my random thoughts, and then a list:

Sally: I don't think the Ranger needs to hint to you whether they protected you or not, too risky for him, cause he needs to stay alive as long as possible so he can protect you as long as possible. Oh, and if you didn't dream a wolf last Night then I'm gonna vote for whoever you vote for anyway, cause with our numbers dwindling I don't want to risk a last minute bandwaggon that kills our Ranger, cause then you're definitely dead toNight. List? Ok then... Nogrod: not too too much from him, but what I have seen I've agreed with or at least understood his logica and I don't see anything wrong with him Alona: I want to trust her, and there's something nagging at the back of my head that is making me want to trust her, but there's also a lot of stuff that she's said that just urks me the wrong way (see above). So I'm on the fence here, it's like my half of me sees the logic that she could be guilty, then another half is like "no no, she's good, trust your gut"...so yeah, I don't know Lari: uhm, kinda under my radar, but nothing stood out so I'm good here for now Izzy: so yesterday she said something like she didn't get my whole Shasta deal, so I asked what she meant by that, and all she did was quote what I had said, she didn't really say what she found wrong with it, and then voted for me cause I didn't explain my reasoning (when I couldn't explain, since she never really told me what needed explaining)....so I don't like that, the vote itself I get, cause Shasta was a kinda rushed flimsy thing from me, but just that one part bugs me...I don't however have anything else against her at the moment, so this is not enough to go on, off this alone I would not vote for her Inzil: ahh, my dear ex-lover, I'm really starting to suspect him. His comment that I quoted earlier was odd, and he at one point said I was "fixated" on the revealing lovers thing, when I actually had just made an off handed joking (only Lottie seems to pick up on the joking part) suggestion, and then others took it serious and actually followed through, so I wouldn't say I was fixated. Anyway....yeah, a few things here in there, I'll try to take a closer look later. Shasta: Yes, I voted him yesterDay, yes the reasons were flimsy, and no I don't really have anything new to add about him right now. Hmm. Need a break, the whole read through took me like an hour. Be back later. x'ed with a few people

And I look forward to seeing your epic list! And don't worry if it's not here by mid-Day (which it obviously isn't lol) because I slept late so I think I'll be at least somewhat conscious for the rest of the Day. Yay lists! And Nog, you do have to agree that you've gone after Alona a lot, though I'll say in apology that I should have stated you went mostly after her. You have though; for the most part, you've accused someone then just gone back to Alona. But if I was 100% convinced you were a wolf I'd have voted you already, so for now let's just consider you on the 'possibly dangerous' list. Which is always where you belong anyway. For everyone else. Remember what I said about going all half-cocked? I mean it's fine for now, but I don't want things to go downhill later and end up swinging the ranger's direction. Which reminds me. A list of my own. (Keep in mind this is how I would feel regardless of my dreams, so please don't accept it as pure canon.) Possibly guilty: Nog (too quiet, and when he is he doesn't seem to be ordo!Nog) Izzy (too quiet and too like Nog, which worries me. Also, she's too far off everyone's radar and I never like that.) Not sure, but could go either way: Lari (while Alona thinks she's probably innocent, I'm not entirely convinced. She looks a bit too calculated for my taste.) Dun (just because of a few things he's said, which I hope to point out when/if I get to my analysis of him) Wilwa (again, has said some things I'm not too comfortable with, although her concern for my lost computer is touching) Shasta (because a wolf!Shasta would be more active even if he did have a show. Of course he could be laying low specifically for that reason, so dunno.) Probably innocent: Alona (because she's been helpful to the point of beyond helpful and I'm not getting any sort of wolf vibe from her, which would normally be worrying but I can read her fairly well so I place her here) In her own little guilt-free world: Sally. Because I'm ever so cute and cuddly. ^_^ ETA: x'd since Lari's vote. And Wilwa can come here and collect her hug.

Let's also see the pairs... (known innocents bolded)
Sally/Glirdan Shasta/Alona Morsul/Wilwa Rikae/Izzy Nog/Lottie Dun/Lari Looking at it now and not believeing there is a wolf-wolf PM-pair (well, there might be, but I'd think it less probable than every wolf being given as a PM-pal to an innocent) the situation would mean there were three pairs of innocents to begin with and three which had a wolf in them. Now we can say that Sally / Glirdy was one of the pairings of innocents - and I know me and Lottie was another. To you the pair, me / Lottie is an unknown of course – but I know now that both of the other two pairs with a dead innocent in them can not be innocent! To put it plainly: either wilwa or Izzy is a wolf – or they both are. Unless there is a wolf-wolf PM-pair of course. My problem is that the more I look at it, the less innocent-looking people I see round… Although I have to say alona’s latest defence felt genuine. I’m torn with her right now: my reason says she must be a wolf but my feelings are confused and willing to believe her. Now what is the part played here by several people saying she’s like that / believing she could actually make such an odd comment, and what is their alignment in the game? I’ll try to add things up a bit… in a moment. (needs to see first what has happened meanwhile as I see post being made)

So the votes.
Looking at the votes wilwa looks the worst. She voted for Sally early on D1 - which could be seen as a safe move. But her vote and action late on D2 could be read as a prime example how a thoughtful wolf would act - she voted late but before the real action begins so as not to be noticed. Well, I noticed it. But also, she said her reasons were flimsy (even if Izzy pointed out she had declared she had a lot of time in her hands - and one could see her hanging around all through the Day). After her vote she held back - like if she just enjoyed looking at things and didn't think she should take part in discussion. That's the classical wolf-error: when things are going fine you just hang around and look at the things unfolding as long as they go nice from your POV. She only bothered to defend herself when Izzy questioned her "flimsy reasons" - but that showed she was following the discussion! Lari's first Day retraction trial looked fishy as such. After she learned that the dl was not what she thought (said she thought) she gave a concerned feeling by "retracting" but never then bothered to make an attempt to offer other ideas eg. letting us know whom else she would then have voted. So feeling comfy with how things went (or whom her vote was for), and even more comfy of the fact that no one could say she voted for X or Y? So being totally safe from any speculations as she had both voted but yet not voted - and no one could pin down her original vote as it was a rushed random sort of thing which shev regretted? Of others Inzil looks bad as he has consistently voted for a known innocent two times - well the very same Lottie. But I'm pretty conscious of the possibility that if alona turns out innocent my record will look the same. If I have time I will look after his posts as I'm a bit uneasy with him but can't pinpoint it down to any detail right now. Izzy's vote yesterDay looks like a throwaway, voting for a new candidate at the last minute. But there were three people to vote as yet so it's hard to say. An innocent Rikae voted for a new candidate that late as well. Too many non-voters yesterDay. It blurs the vision.

I think Izzy asked about this, too. Basically I saw Inzil's post saying that Sally was the Night target, went with it at the beginning of the Day and then later started to question it while I was talking with Lari about it. My debate with Lottie went well into the early morning for me and I don't think I was thinking quite clearly at the time.
