Okay, I might as well run down my list now.
Anxiety - Is playing like the last game, where he was a bad guy and got caught early. Cronin vote is somewhat random, although he has been stirring up a lot of trouble these last two days. Possible lynch candidate today. Barkeep, saldana - Don't really know enough to say, but leaning good. Alan T - Seems to be doing all the right things so far, but that doesn't mean a whole lot in the long term. Lathum, cronin, hoops - I'm still not convinced that everyone out of this group is safe. There seem to be a lot of "facts" being tossed out, but everyone is afraid to blow up all the cover. I think we're just missing one piece of the puzzle to figure out this entire group. Cronin and hoops would still be my primary two suspects out of this group, but a lot of that is just paranoia. Regardless, until we get more information, this group doesn't make good lynch targets. Schmidty - The late caution to the wind switch yesterday isn't out of character for schmidty...but it also makes such great cover, because of how rash it is. If he gets through today then a lot of the pressure might come off of him. However, even if that's true, what would he have gained out of yesterday's insane switch if he were a bad guy? Mckerney was both a good guy and way out front at the time. He might be a bad guy, but it just doesn't make sense if he is. CW, ardent - Wouldn't surprise me if one of these two is bad just because of how many of the other players we've been able to clear. Path - If ardent is a bad guy, it's possible for path to be a bad guy too, and they were working together to manipulate the vote at the end. Also possible that path is good and was just hoping to extort information out of ardent's decision making process. Blade - His story really confuses things, because we still don't know who deflected the attack. Unless he's a crazy convert making up crap, there ought to be someone that can tell a story of being electrocuted. I hope this person turns up by the end of the day. And there is a person out there that can clear me out there, if it comes down to it. |

Without going back and looking, doesn't it seem like half the damn players have said something along these lines? Am I apparently the only person who can't clear anyone and/or doesn't know anyone else? |

That's because one of those people is someone I can clear, too.

Does anyone else have the sinking feeling that, although Blade may have been right to reveal what he knew of last night, he opened the door to a conversation that left us in a very bad place?

I'm intrigued that both Blade and Tyrith have mentioned that there is someone who can clear them at this point (Blade in Post #647, Tyrith in #701).

Right now I'm weighing between Schmidty and Path for today's vote. If anyone has strong feelings for why one of them is clearly a wolf I would love to hear them sooner rather than later ...

I'd lean towards path because of possible interactions with other wolves towards the end of that vote and Schmidty's vote switch not obviously helpful to the wolves at the time, but it's a pretty weak argument. |

I don't know if everybody else knows this, but there was a time last game when SnDvls was awol and it was just Tyrith and Me calling the shots for a couple of days. So, you had the new guy and the other new guy running around trying to figure out what to do. It was great! -Anxiety

Cronin, the two candidates that I'm weighing between both had late vote switches on me yesterday (yes, I realize it was between two wolves) which separates them a little bit for me from Anxiety and the others.
There seems to be enough consensus that Blade = good that I'll put him out of the picture at least for today with my vote. |

That's just it though - if you assume the voting was between two wolves, it makes no sense for a wiz to move his vote late. All it does is bring attention. I think you're barking up the wrong tree. |

Cronin can still be right, it serves Anxiety's interests to try to persuade cronin that he isn't a bad guy by saying what's best for the team, even if he doesn't believe it.

I am not sure that either is clearly a wolf or vice versa. I do feel both played in ways that felt erratic to me and even to the point of detremental for our team. Maybe it will help your decision, but I could go either way on voting for a handful of people right now (including Path, Schmidty and Anxiety). I think I feel better keeping my vote right now on Path just because he is the only one of the three that seems "attached" to someone else right now. Whether it was intentional or not, Path and Ardent both played pretty convienantly together at the end. It made it look like Path was good for not voting mckerney and made Ardent not look horribly bad because he was forced into the position. If Path is bad, I likely will vote for Ardent tommorrow. If Path is good, I'll probably have to look at Schmidty or Anxiety for tommorrow |

Alan makes a good point, if we get path as a bad guy then we can probably roll up Ardent with him. That's nearly enough to pull me into making a vote for now.

I think that things are not as they seem. That one person in particular is not who he says he is, and that this will be the key crux that decides who wins this round.

Cronin was pointing out to hoopsguy that since hoops was one of the two people in the running yesterday, then people who switched back and forth might be wolves, and not antagonists, because the antagonists would not have needed to reveal themselves. Hoopsguy should be operating under the assumption that he himself is a wolf, which means that he should be looking elsewhere. It does not necessarily mean he should look at me, of course That leads me to ask a question of hoops, why are you looking at those people then, in light of the fact that you believe yourself to be a wolf? -Anxiety

The fact that the last game, you know, the one you weren't playing in, you had around 40 posts and so far you've got closer to five is my main reason. I think that's enough of a change in style to deserve a vote.

Pfft.
The only reason I have a computer right now is I'm supposed to be filling out some form for my passport.

I think that is something that is really bothering me about today. Until a little bit ago, there were 8 votes out total for 6 different people. I think thats worse than many day 1 vote spreads even. Its pretty easy to jump onto bandwagons when its wolf vs wolf, but when its this spread out, it makes me feel like something is up and people are positioning somehow for late day movements. Im about to head out of here to go home, but will be on for a while before deadline. I'm not afraid to change my vote if need be, but I need some convincing. |
