Well, my suspicions concerning Lal were based largely on relatively frequent posting without saying much and seemingly safe voting decisions (with the exception of that Brinniel vote, which was cast in the general flurry of confusion). My review of her posts has not changed that impression.
She has now added a bit more substance, and I find myself disagreeing with Nogrod's assessment. She has explained her voting tactics, by reference to preferring to vote to save than to vote to lynch. I understand the point, but it does seem to me that this is more likely to be the adopted strategy of a Faithful than an innocent. I know Lalaith to be an astute player and I believe that, when innocent, her “hunches” over who might be guilty are often better than she is now claiming credit for. Quote:

I have skimmed as much as I could. And I remain lost. I hesitate to vote for Lommy and Mith today. I'd like to get a better look at them before actually voting for them. I'm not sure where to go with the other two. I could go with my original suspect of the day, Hookbill, or I could just jump on Lalaith like others have already done.
I don't find one more suspicious than the other. ++ Lalaith I'm going to listen to my gut. I can hold off on Hookbill for a day. Edit: cross-posted with Lalaith, Mith, and Gil

I'm sorry guys but I have literally 10 minutes to post toDay. House-hunting has kept me very occupied and I'm off to look at another one at half past so as you can see, I'm in something of a rush.
I'm not entirely sure where this sudden attack on Lalaith has come from. There was that argument between her and Sauce that had the both of them accusing the other of doing the same thing. I actually wonder if this is a wolf on wolf ploy. The wolves still have full ranks, if Sauce and Lalaith are both wolves a Sauce-led bandwaggon on Lalaith might, in future Days, save him from the noose. Before her last post I was finding Kitanna pretty innocent looking, but when deciding who to vote for (Lalaith or Hookbill) she first says she doesn't suspect one more than the other but then says she will go with her gut and vote Lalaith. Seems a bit contradictory to me. The strange thing is, the more Nogrod rails against people the more I think them innocent. In fact if Noggie wasn't a known innocent it would be him I would want to lynch! He reminds me far too much of me as a wolf, picking out little comments and making a huge deal out of them. However, to some extent that same logic applies to TGWBS. He has a presence here and has certainly looked helpful with his analyses and constant maths, but the latter does not really offer information and we know the former can be mislreading. Sauce is worrying me a little, he's twisting words. I can't see that Durelin really defended him at all, indeed she specifically said that she wasn't. She was arguing with Noggie but then, right now, who doesn't want to? Argh, that's it, time's up. ++SAUCE I'm especially loathe to go with any of my suspicions from yesterDay since two of them ended up being innocent, and right now from what I've read he looks the most suspicious to me.

I am still not convinced that Sauce is innocent .... I think they both could be wolves .... we can only lynch one at a time.......

Here's a list of those who have cast a final vote for known innocents: Manwe 1 Lommy 2 SpM 2 TGWBS 2 Kitanna 1 Durelin 2 Kath 1 Lalaith 1 Legate 1 Mithalwen 1 Nogrod 1 And here's a list of those who have cast a final vote for a know innocent who was lynched: Lommy 1 TGWBS 1 Kitanna 1 Durelin 1 Lalaith 1 Legate 1 Mithalwen 1 So, I am not sure what your point is here. Actually, it occurs to me that those who have largely managed to avoid voting for those who have turned out innocent may well be the one's to watch. For now, my vote stands, but I am going to look into that. |

Brinniel was not one of my top suspects, no. YOu can check my suspect list of yesterday to confirm this. As I have explained, both at the time, and subsequently, she was more suspicious to me than Rune who I felt was innocent and wanted to save.
You on the other hand have three times categorically stated that you were "sure" that innocents were Faithfuls. First with Rikae and Noggie, then with Rune and Brinniel and now - as everyone will know if you succeed in getting me lynched - with me.

Yes, I am aware that I said that. It's hardly the same as "categorically" stating that I was "sure" they were Faithfuls.
Brinniel's subsequent contributions lessened my suspicions of her. Hence my switch to Rune, who looked the more suspicious to me. |

I have been considering further my lists of votes for known innocents. I remain wary of those who have managed to avoid doing so, namely Hookbill and Gil-Galad (although Gil's only non-"no vote" before toDay was for me). I'm going to bear it in mind, although I am still not sure whether Manwe is still with us. If not, it will be clear whether Hookbill has been voting for an innocent or a Faithful toMorrow.
I'm not sure if there's much more to read from those lists. Everyone else seems to have been rather consistent in voting for know innocents. |

Pshaw. Quibbling with semantics.
Anyway, this squabble feels like a distraction to me. I am not given to categoric statements of guilt but I am very suspicious of Saucepanman, guy and Durelin, and I will vote for one of them depending on where the votes are going. This may sound suspiciously self-serving - but I don't want to die. If the numbers were less dangerous, it might be beneficial for the village if I were lynched - the revelation of my innocence would usefully implicate a lot of people. (Eg If there's any wolf-on-wolf voting going on right now, I would guess it might be Kath on Saucie) But given that the numbers are against us innocents, we really need to get a wolf today.

Oh my!
What's going on? Where did this Lalaith bandwaggon come from? Well, from SPaM I see... I don't hold it impossible that you're right about it Saucie, but I wouldn't put it past you to finally make a Faithful-on-Faithful either. But then again you can't be blamed about others jumping on your train... This is somewhat fishy indeed. Mith monomaniacally being after Lalaith from Day1 is quite weird as well. Who could do that but a Faithful who wishes to clear her footsteps? I'm still against voting for Gil because he's a shot in the dark and this is one of the last Days we innocents have something like a clear margin to turn the vote right. Next Day, if we get it wrong now - it's only 7/4 and the Faithfuls will be twisting everything much more successfully.

Good gracious me, I almost forgot about this game today...
I've had a quick look over some of the Brinniel voters and have had an interesting thought...
Legate's game play has suddenly struck me as... unnerving. He seemed at first to be wading into arguments and acting almost as a mediator or neutral party which subconsciously put him in my trust pile. This, it seems to me, may well be a trick. Legate seems very calculated but some things in his posts don't seem right to me as he always seems to be acting the third party unless directly invited to defend himself or accuse someone. Although, he seems to be retaining his usual posting style, which can be expected, but this too could be a front and he could be triking us into thinking he's normal when he's not. But then he could be normal and he is acting normal and everything I've just said is rubbish. Or it could be... erm... that... I've lost myself, sorry. My suspicions remain of Manwe but less at the moment. He's made some good points recently but still remains in my 'suspect list'. The Saucepan Man, however has moved up for reasons not comprehensible. I have to go with a hunch at the moment as I cannot see anything specific in his posts to suggest wolfship. I'll keep my eyes open and have a think...

Oh for godness sake ... either I my vote is from nowhere and I am bandwaggoning or I am monomaniac... I can't be both ..though I would say neither.. I have suspected Lalaith since Day one and have had no reason to doubt that suspicion.

Now for the reasaons why I thought Lalaith made good points.
First of all she shared my initial suspicions and that always feels nice. But I must say I'm aware that she might have done that deliberately to get me defend her position. That is possible. But also Spm's defence was a bit fishy. Like him denying the ratio of the suspects turning out innocents. In there I think Lalaith actually had a point which indeed fits nicely with the little detail I noticed on Day1 where he twice reminded us of his history of being a serial voter-of-gifteds so nicely undermining his future track record? But why I still think there might be a point in suspecting the trio (tgwbs, Durelin and Saucie) is their relative distancedness in this game. I mean they all have been in the middle of the game as doers and as those who have been talked about. Still there seem to be relatively few instances where they have said anything about each other. That is not counting the odd row over Durelin defending Spm toDay - in which Spm's point looked a bit fabricated to be honest. But anyhow they seem to be nicely detached. Like good Faithfuls would be. Also I find it odd that tgwbs wishes us to go for a blind lynch of Gil. That can't be in our best interests. Funny then that after I said half-jokingly that we should not lynch anyone of these three (in a moment when no one else seemed to post anything) Spm was only too happy to ask me if I would like to suggest trying to pick a silent one... And as a minor detail also Durelin commented on the familiar Noggie annoyed by those silent to be back after I had made a side-comment on the fact that I didn't like the quietness of this village back then. See also these: Quote:

I might go for one of these people, but I'm trying to widen my scope a bit before it's time to vote. Lalaith I'm unsure of and Kath just freaks me out... not to talk of Kitanna's last vote that just looks sooo fishy!

I don't know what happened with Manwe but if he does not vote to day he is out.
Also notice that Gil is making sure he does enough to stay in .. but not a lot more.... not sure how to read this.

But there just might be a point here. He posts seldomly as always and gives basically no reasons to his votes but somehow his last post made me think it twice (my first reaction was: "why did he post and made a point!" - although I tend to agree with his point) and now as you noted it. Hmm... But okay here we are now: Gil - > tgwbs Lommy - > Durelin Tgwbs - > Gil Spm - > Lalaith Mith - > Lalaith (tgwbs1, Durelin1, Gil1, Lalaith2) Kitanna - > Lalaith (tgwbs1, Durelin1, Gil1, Lalaith3) Kath - > Spm (tgwbs1, Durelin1, Gil1, Lalaith3, Spm1) I know I may be now on a monomaniac drive myself but I just can't help recognising that tgwbs has yet again produced a vote with which he stays out of any heated debates and as a vote of retaliation it's pretty much the safest there is... I just don't like this. I mean if he is a Faithful he really plays nicely and just for that reason he's dangerous. Back to widening the scopes then as this was no good as yet...

Gah! I can live with your suspicions, Noggie, but you could at least have reasonable reasons for suspecting me. I swear that, if I did not know better, I would be voting for you as a Faithful.

Well he seems to be making a bit more of an effort than usual .... but is that because he has a bigger part to play?.... I think it unlikely he will be killed at night though whatever he says.... if he is innocent he is seldom completely trusted....
Gah 13 players, 1 known innocent, 2 gifted, 4 faithful, one seemingly heading for removal.... lets hope the ranger took a calculated risk and left you unguarded last night Noggin.... cos the Faithful are getting to the point that even if we spot them ..we will have a job out voting them....

Btw. if the Ranger didn't get my hints yesterDay or didn't dare to risk not protecting me last Night (which is quite natural, I've been in the situation myself and it's a hard decision) I would just like to remind you of one more thing.
I've been talking a lot of Spm, tgwbs and Durelin. Not without a cause I think. But also remember that there were some funny things in the beginning of the game involving Kath and Lommy with Mänwe. I do hope Mänwe comes back but if he doesn't we'll here what he was soon enough. And if he was a Faithful, look at those defending him (at least Kath and Lommy) I'm not very happy with this lynching Lalaith-thing. Bandwaggons that appear out of thin aikr are always to be suspected I'd say. From that I've got a worst feeling about Kitanna. Okay. I've suspected more than half of the village... So little help you seem to have from your known innocent. But maybe you should look tomorrow for the fact that which people could be related to each other or which might just cancel each other out? The Faithfuls can afford suspecting each others by now and if they're wise they'd probably done that already. Just looking at the spread of the votes thus far makes me feel pretty insecure. THey are surely having the upper hand now. But we'll (you'll) fight!

No idea who is a faithful. But my instincts keep telling me that the right honorable Saucepan Man is a fishy fellow. I wish I had something concrete to go on but all I have is a hunch. His posts are always very good and interesting as is wont with old Sauceie, but here there is something of an odd air to it.
So, before I wander off to other lands... ++ The Saucepan Man No hard feelings, master Pan?

Well, I'm (understandably) torn between tgwbs and Saucie.
I've been getting more and more convinced of Saucie's guilt but I think there's something ignoble about voting for someone who voted for you. ++TGWBS

I return. *flourish*
Quote:
And my comment about you going after the silent ones? Well, I feel the way you have been playing the large part of this Day is pretty uncharacteristic of you. Actually it reminds me of that time Lommy as the Seer caught you as a Wolf. Do I suggest systematically lynching the silent types? No. But I don't suggest ignoring them either. Both you and Sauce are having a field day going for whatever you can get on me. It's really rather sad. We know you're innocent, though, so perhaps Sauce is the real danger. I have not liked the feel of Lalaith, and I think her voting has been very strange, but I find Kitanna's suddenish vote for her pretty odd. Mith's behavior toDay is far less out there to me than yesterDay's, and I'm feeling a little better about her. I wonder, too, why people see this Lalaith thing as out of nowhere. Kitanna's vote is a little sudden, but both SPM and Mith I recall having suspected her for a while, particularly Mith. Hookbill's still not making very solid accusations, but I do agree with him on Legate. Where is he, anyway? Will we have another last minute vote from him? Quote:
The way Lommy jumped on Nogrod's attack against me, even though she had been suspecting me for a while, makes me rather uneasy of her. It's such a prime opportunity for a wolf to both look consistent and have the sort of *stamp of approval* of a known innocent. Though he wasn't on my *original list*, the way TGWBS jumped on Nogrod's making note of the silence of the village and turned it into a lynch the silents campaign is pretty unnerving, too, but he had gone after Gil before Nogrod's comments, as well. I need to vote...SPM or Legate? SPM's loud-mouthedness is perhaps better to have around than Legate sneaking around. A Saucepan Wolf might well be a little less...beligerent? than he's being right now, though I suppose only his death will tell. My brain says SPM, my gut says Legate. ToDay seems to be the Day for going with gut votes, so: ++Legate Edit: Cross-posted with a bunch of posts...that took way too long to write, and now the deadline is very near.

Check your vote again Durelin, please. If not, you others should remark this safe-vote toMorrow...
With eight minutes left it's either Lalaith, Spm or tgwbs...
