I just lost my post, which is really frustrating... It's late so I really don't feel like re-writing the whole dang thing, but I"ll give a short version. Here goes:
I feel I need to stay out of the PB/Rowain squabble, as I don't know who's right and who's wrong there... Good point was made that Rowain's vendetta is abnormal for a wolf, although the only issue I have with that statement is that saying something like that is just free license for a wolf to do exactly that. Regardless, it's enough for me to put someone else's name in red, and keep Rowain/PB in the back of my head for now. I'm swapping to JKaen. I had my reasons typed out before I lost this post, but rather than re-typing everything, basically my reasons are really similar to what everyone else has said thus far. I'll fully admit that it's a vote based on circumstantial evidence + very early voting record + glorified hunch, but we don't have much else to go on so far, so JKaen it is.
Other people on my radar:
1. Sandover - swaps his votes constantly, and he often votes with little to no reasons... Been suspicious every step of the way, yet no one has called him on it. I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough to vote for him, but it's important to keep him in mind.
2. Bruindane - Because I can't figure out what on earth he's talking about right now, and I can't figure out what would make someone think the void-wolf would actually want to be mayor. That would be immense stupidity, and novice seems too smart for that. Novice could very well be a wolf (I'm guessing he's not, but it's too early to tell), but the wolves would never put the void-wolf into that spot. Again, I'm not ready to vote for him per se, but after that nonsense, Bruindane is officially on my radar
3. Lewwyn - Something isn't right, and I can't put my finger on it... I'll fully admit - this is a hunch, and not much more than that.

...and then with a little reflection, I will admit, that it would nuts for the void wolf to run for mayor.  [Strike]novice[/Strike] No vote.
I apologize for getting carried away by a conspiracy theory, I thought I was so right.
LOL. Hey, for what it's worth, I'm sorry if I came across as a dick - but it WAS a conspiracy theory.  If it had even a shred of validity to it I wouldn't have reacted how I did, but I think you finally see what I saw originally. Believe me, it's tough to see that sometimes - especially when it's your baby. I can tell you that first-hand, and so can Lewwyn. It happens, it's human nature, it's part of the game - no harm, no foul. Now, put that big brain to work and let's catch us some REAL 'Wolves, shall we?

Mardoc Wrote:Finally, after yesterday I trust novice, and I think he's voting Rowain. It's a bad reason, but it's better than nothing. The only way novice is a wolf and willing to make that vote is if Rowain is also a wolf and probably Pocketbeetle is also a wolf, so all his choices were wolves. Frankly, that sounds too much like my previous theory and can't explain Day 1 in any event.
Ummm, Novice was on Rowain yesterday, but he switch OFF him. Wouldn't that mean he's not likely to vote for him today. I don't pretend to know novice's mind, but what I do know is you can't make this statement because Rowain may or may not be be the one person Novice doesn't want to vote for.
I actually think if you haven't read about how people believe that voting for Rowain is a wolf ploy then you shouldn't be voting.

There are many who would agree with you.

Roland - I see you are sitting on the fence again... Well by that I mean - talking a lot but not voting. I'm not sure if this is your plan for this game or what, but it makes me mildly nervous, as I'd like to think you are on team village, but you seem to mostly just disagree with people, which again, makes me a little leery. Who are your top 3-4ish suspects and why? I'm sure you have your opinion (you've even referred to your "list" more than once) but you haven't really shared it yet, and its less than 12 hours now until lynch time.

He already voted for PB

Well, I'm certainly not out to make you nervous, but I'm going to stick with my strategy. It's going pretty well thus far, so why change it yet? Seriously though, I don't think you've been reading my posts all that much, and if you have you haven't been absorbing much of anything. I can understand that if you're busy, but you're certainly smart enough to put the pieces together. Also, as Lewwyn pointed out already, I have voted. See what I mean about not reading my posts?
Trust me, I'm definitely on team Village, just as I was last game. Truth be told, I think at this point I'd be a goner if I wasn't - I don't know if my normal posting style would fly as a 'Wolf, and since I'm so well-known (dare I say notorious?) any shifts would be under extreme scrutiny (as it already has been). So... yeah, I'm a Villager. Not much more I can add to that.  I must say, there's a certain level of comfort with being a Villager - it's a role I'm familiar with, so I don't have to worry so much about playing a role. Anyway, on to the meat of it all.

I don't think anyone's voting with me on Zakalwe today. I will however keep him on the back burner and keep my reasons readily available.
As for who to vote for today, I suppose it is between PB and Jkaen. I suspect both + Zakalwe. Meiz has since dropped off my list after rereading a bit.
PB, as I have stated in my posts because he is the single constant beneficiary of the two lynching patterns in addition to his quietness in the beginning followed by posts following the Day 1 lynch. Also, his manifesto against Rowain I find to be subjective and full of holes. I also find his attitude toward my posts to be particularly damning as he refuses to comment seriously on them and attempt to dismiss them. He states that I don't understand myself what I'm writing and I'm incomprehensible. It is one thing to say you disagree and give reasons. It is another thing to attempt to discredit and sweep things under the rug.
I also feel that to lynch PB would reveal more information and shed more light on the votes already cast. He is part of the root of discussion and therefore would shed the most light. While I suspect Jkaen, his death would be less illuminating because has been less controversy surrounding him. By process of elimination, pocketbeetle becomes my vote of choice and necessity.

Anyone else care to join me on JKaen, or will we be forced to go for PB/Rowain?
You can get a look at a t-bone by looking up the bulls ass but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.
