Before I get lynched, want to point some attention at this guy. Made an illegal vote for me first, then votes for me again with stupidly weak justification. And not much of substance to go off of, either. Seems dodgy as all get-out.

So we're going to sacrifice me, about whom the case and information are far less obvious, to get intel about Queran and Bronwyn, about whom the cases are more solid. Brilliant. After this lynch turns out, remember to pick your targets more carefully. Voting Queran.

I don't know Shand from a shandy, and I don't much like shandies. If I'm going to drink lemonade, I'll add it to vodka, not beer. Shand has been helpful, but Shand voted for Caillic, and Carmen voted Caillic mentioning trust. Trust on Day 1...hell, I hardly have trust on Day 5. Bothers me.

I think people are making sense about Jorhan. Jorhan missed the vote, and then within the hour proceeded to analyze all of the Caillic voters, going so far as to praise Shand for "gun sticking." Sounds like a net cast wide if you ask me:

My only reservation regarding Jorhan comes from last night's poll. Thoughts?

linki: I'm not saying there are winners and losers. I'm just saying one choice had an overwhelming number of people vote for it. That's all I mean by "win."

Jorhan missing the vote and then coming right in to analyze everyone who voted Caillic pinged me as well, and I thought it was odd he praised Shand and then made that comment about me trying to hold him hostage. I didn't understand why he characterized Shand as gun sticking to begin with, and as I've already said his comment that I was trying to hold him hostage did not make any sense given the situation. We've got another day to see what develops but so far I'm the most suspicious of Jorhan.

What part of gun-sticking do you not understand? Shand said he would vote for either me or Caillic, me because of inactivity and Caillic for a ping. I posted a bit, he withdrew that objection, Caillic didn't assuage his ping, and he voted? I'll admit, I misinterpreted the situation with you, and hostage-taking was a bit much. Got a little carried away, because I feel like you're trying to set me up. Why does my analysis ping you? I missed the vote due to time differences, was on the forums anyway, thought I'd contribute. People make far too big a deal of post order and timing, I think, especially when it's convenient to pile blame.

It would be foolish for the wicked among us to draw attention to themselves by voting for the same person unless they had to in order to shield one of their own. Therefore, if Jorhan is not evil, it seems unlikely that Bronwyn, Carmen and Queran would be evil either.

Does this make sense, or am I way off base?

But I don't think they did have to "shield" me. Fane's vote wouldn't have counted, putting me at two, and Gaerwen also had two. Carmen had a vote on her from Izett, so maybe she joined that wagon to ensure she'd get out scot-free?

As for the story... your guess is as good as mine. Maybe supporting royalty-based characters?

On the other hand, why ask to be checked if you are bad? You'd be caught right away! Another instance where I'm flummoxed by Bronwyn's strategy no matter what side she's on. That does make for two preemptive defenses in a row though (the first being holding her vote on Day 1 despite being unlikely to be lynched). If nothing else she seems confused and paranoid to me.

I found Bronwyn's defensiveness after receiving a single vote odd as well. Almost everyone received a vote on Day 1 and no one else responded with such vigor.

That's what I've been saying as well. Good points on the princess checking, too. Also, there's this:

Actually, as the gypsies well know, it is the mafia who wants the vote as spread out as possible so that it only takes a few votes to lynch a civv.

Which seems to sync up with her vote-holding behavior from the first lynch. If votes were spread out, her vote for me may have been enough to push me over the edge and save herself.

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go! I'm expecting hot chocolate and marshmallows.

RIP Princess

And I think continuously showing up at convenient times is a big red flag, too.

He missed the vote, it should be noted.

Frig. Poll was still up when I posted, just sayin'.

Now for some analysis of those who picked our innocent Sleeping Beauty.
Shand - Made his vote intentions known pretty early, me for inactivity and Callic for seeming indulgence on the Rumple issue. Stuck to his guns as well, picking Callic after I posted.
Queran - Very eloquent, but not saying much, as pointed out by Izett earlier. No immediate explanation for the vote, which could ping as a bandwagon-jump or a directed baddie.
Carmen - Also pointed out by Izett as inactive. Did point out the Fane vote for me first, showing some attention towards events. Vote explanation was in agreement with Shand, which could or could not be bandwagony.
Bronwyn - A little defensive over the confusion issue, which could be understandable, but those posts seemed a bit more rambling than her other posts; possibly flustered? More active than the above two. Almost seemed to hold me hostage: "if they vote for me I will be forced to vote for Poisondart in defense." Make of that what you will.

Like I said, life happens. Fane voting for me when he could not is a pretty big red flag, and as I can return fire, I shall.

What a tweest! I should have checked back here sooner. I guess the Love table is... blessed? with the most options. But as people have been saying, there haven't been many flags raised. Don't really want to play the low-post game either, because sometimes life happens. But I'll be considering.

Yay game! Should be good times. As for the table, all you need is love, so I will sit there.
