That wasn’t a bandwagon. **Miller** voted for the only candidate who had as many votes as he did, trying to save his life. Self-preservation doesn’t count as jumping on the bandwagon. ---

Just as an aside; could I ask please that nonplayers not post strategy? I’m sure it’s interesting to have a go (and that is the idea) but if people chime in with advice it effectively means you’re an extra townsperson that can’t be voted for; you’re kinda making the werewolves have a harder time of it. I did make the teams balanced, so would you mind not tilting it? ---

Another recap of the total number of times people have been voted for (unvotes not deducted). **Mennochio** 7 **jsgoddess** 7 **Jsexton** 7 **One And Only Wanderers** 6 **Miller** 6 Everyone else has been voted for two or fewer times since the beginning of the game. Given the recent events, plus the points made by myself and others, I think I have to vote for **One And Only Wanderers**. Revised recap: **Mennochio** 7 **jsgoddess** 7 **Jsexton** 7 **One And Only Wanderers** 7 **Miller** 6 ---

[/QUOTE] Self preservation’s a tough instinct to overcome, and it’s at least understandable. Right now I see **JSexton** and **Wanderers** as two sides of the same coin. I’m not entirely comfortable with them, but I’m willing to give 'em both another day, at least. For right now, it looks like it’s going to be between **Wanderers** and **Miller**. I’ll give **Wanderers** the benefit of the doubt, but **Miller** ’s keeping too low a profile for my tastes. Lynch Miller! As an added bonus, taking out **Miller** might help with our recent jelly donut infestation. ---

ooo look at these votes a-flying! I’ve decided to bite the bullet and cast my first vote. going with One and Only Wanderers because a. I’m suspicious and b. The out come will influence my view of **JSexton** … There, that wasn’t so hard. 🙂 ---

Some random thoughts about some not-so-random people… Regarding \*\*Miller \*\*v. **One And Only Wanderers** : I’m just not getting all the suspicion flying around either one of these guys. Miller’s biggest sin seems to be that he rarely posts, jumping in only to cast an accusation or to say “I’m right here” whenever someone complains that he’s never around. The prevailaing opinion is that he’s a werewolf who’s laying low to avoid suspicion. I would think that if he really \*was \*a werewolf, laying low to avoid suspicion, that he would have rethought his strategy by now. I can’t quite figure out One And Only Wanderers’ strategy, which at this point seems to consist of voting for people at random, or because they previously voted for him. It doesn’t seem terribly inspired, but neither does it strike me as particularly sinister. Either way, I’m not getting any lupine vibes. \*\*dnooman \*\*seems to have some trouble making up his mind. By my count, he voted for Miller, then changed his vote to **JSexton** , then unvoted JSexton, only later voting for One and Only Wanderers, and then finally switched back to Miller. All in the space of an afternoon, in Ceciltown time. \*\*MadTheSwine’s \*\*actions are a bit confusing. On Day 1, he voted to lynch **JSexton**. Then early on Day 2, for no apparent reason he comes out on the side of “Boss Sexton”, and the two of them start the ball rolling against One And Only Wanderers. Since I’ve already made known my feelings about JSexton, I’ll leave any further conclusions as an exercise for the reader. ---

Originally, I had bolded all instances of names, but that was just too much. So I decided to bold only the first instance of each name, like you would see in a newspaper article.

I did vote for Menocchio yesterday. Today, I haven’t decided yet; they both look equally suspicious to me. It’s also possible that they are both werewolves, and are trying to sacrifice one to make the other look good. It’s risky to take such a strategy so early, especially with the Alpha already gone, but it might be a desperation move if they think one of them is going to hang no matter what.
