Lynch **JSexton**. I think his voting for \*\*Menocchio \*\*in Day 1 (relatively early on, by the way) was a case of misdirection that went horribly wrong. His stated reason at the time was the “third person to vote” theory, which he has yet to support. It sounds like something he threw out there just so that he could cast a vote, thinking that it was so absurd that nobody would follow him. As of Post 232, the voting was 4 for \*\*jgoddess \*\*and 2 for **Menocchio**. 15 posts later, when JSexton tells us all to jump on one bandwagon or another, the voting had shifted 6 to 3 in favor of Menocchio, and the end was in sight. By this time, he couldn’t back out, because doing so would have almost surely given him away once we found out that Menocchio was the Alpha Wolf. And his statement “the worst possible thing we can do is fail to lynch someone” was completely out of character for one who seems to have such knowledge of the game. He would have known that there is no way we can fail to lynch _someone_. I think this statement is a last ditch effort to try to save the Alpha Wolf from the noose. ---

[QUOTE=Rubystreak] Just FYI, these are the three lurkingest posters as of now. I didn’t include **unfinished symphony** because he (she?) was added after the first round, and seems to be contributing and not laying low. [/QUOTE] That would be she 🙂 Feels like I’ve only been here five minutes and am lost already. I’m rather torn between **JSexton** , **One and Only Wanderers** and **Richard Parker** **Carrot** and **dnooman** raised a good point. I guess it depends on whether Mr **Sexton** is a team player, or out to secure his own safety. I’d already been wondering about **Wanderers** from reading day one. And **Richard** ’s protests of innocence don’t sit right with me. I also have my eye on **Enginerd** … Actually, i don’t trust anyone yet,but if i think any more my brain will trickle out my ears. What’s with the jelly doughnuts now?! ---

ah, **Suburban Plankton** i didn’t see your post before i sent mine. There’s some good thinkers here 🙂 still not sure enough myself to vote. **JSexton** ’s advice seems good, for instance about the Seer. But how much of that advice can we trust? And saying if **Richard Parker** didn’t post he would make sure of him being out or something (will get the quote if you like people) was downright scary. I don’t know. I’m going to bed now… ---

Sorry I haven’t been around the last couple days. I’ve been busy sharpening my pitchfork. So. Ahem. Gonna be another lynching soon? Hmmm?Doesn’t look like moonstarssun’s gonna swing. I guess I’ll wait and see what another day of voting brings. ---

Last time I didn’t vote until pretty much the last minute. This time, I’m going to go on record voting to lynch Miller. I don’t really have a lot of reasoning behind my vote. Just a suspicion. And since I’m suspicious of everyone, even that is pretty damned random still. ---

I will be out of town and off-line starting tomorrow afternoon, until Sunday evening. Do I need to vote before I go, or can I still get mine in when I get back? Right now I’m leaning towards **Miller** , who is clearly choosing to lurk and not participate, but pops up instantly at the mention of his name, only to disappear again. I’m also suspicious of **carnivorousplant** , who hasn’t said much lately either. ---

[/QUOTE] It depends on what the rest of us do. Once someone gets 8 votes, there’s a 24 hour countdown to lynching. If we make it Sunday without anyone having 8 votes, then you’ll be able to vote when you get back… If we get a bee in our bonnet and lynch someone before then, you’ll just have to wait until “tomorrow” to sate your bloodlust. ok, so you already voted. Never mind. ---

And Ogre, Enginerd, and I are seem to make up the Bermuda Love Triangle that keeps confusing everyone. Enginerd only _leaned_ toward voting for Ogre. I actually did vote for Ogre. And then Ogre voted for Enginerd. ---
