That's a fine reason for a vote.
So can you, then.
unvote boris ze spider
Vote vainglory
I don't like people who jump on me after all this. It smells 'wolf'.
(And as for Najs - he has a point.)
vote seen
fellow dutchie so safe to say he's somewhat evil
So all dutchies are evil? Seen-randakar-the_hdk pack then...
Randy, I admire the pithiness of your post, but I disagree that voting for you is suspicious - which actually validates the rest of your post.
We're more than halfway through the day and votes are starting to cohere, but still a bit scattered. It's high time we started trying to select frontrunners to preclude a clusterfuck. At the time I moved it stood 2-2-2-1-1 you, me, Najs, Boris, Rendap. I wanted to move someone ahead and start the process of consolidating votes, so I had to pick from you and Najs for my vote: I decided to pick you because you've had a win recently, so a Day 1 death should sting a bit less. It had to be you or Najs because voting myself is pointless, and voting for Boris (only other candidate with a vote other than Rendap, who had my vote) would have just confused the issue further.
Like it or not, you are now a frontrunner, and right now adding momentum for its own sake causing votes to pile onto you is perfectly acceptable. This is, after all, Day 1. Now I have to say I don't like the "Day 1 votes are random" aphorism because it's become dogma and it's inaccurate. Totally aside from the fact they're rarely random in the strictest sense, it's more informative to phrase it "Day 1 votes are usually cast with insufficient information to make an intelligent decision" with the corollary that consequently many votes are random (at times even in the strictest sense, since random.org is truly random). However, as I've stated many times before, it's possible to glean useful information from metagame, or else for useful information to arise in the course of Day 1, which should affect the outcome of the day. In this case, I'd say you're double-damned: firstly, if there's no information then it's perfectly legitimate to keep adding votes to frontrunners to prevent village disasters. Remember, the absence of information for the common villager means that everyone is equally a valid target (excluding judgments like "Teep is recently returned and therefore not fair game on Day 1", "Randakar is a perennial victim of early hunts, lynches, and scans, so I'll leave him be"; I'm speaking about likelihoods of being evil). Obviously I've stuck my neck out many times to attack what I deemed to be a poorly founded case against someone, or a person being run up on no basis at all, when I believed there were better targets. But if there's no information, you're no worse, or better, a target than anyone else. Secondly, Najs points to some information: you said you'd not be forced out of wearing your baddie hat, and yet you abandoned it to move on Boris. Granted, I don't believe that you'd abandon your hide-in-plain-sight strategy that has worked before just to get Boris thrown out there, but others might feel differently. I cannot see how voting for you is suspicious.
As the start of my post foreshadows, I'm not saying your vote is a bad one. I actually commend it: you moved from a nonstarter to someone who was in the running (unfortunately for me), so it appears we're of like mind in that case (and your justification for selecting me was amusingly apt). But I disagree entirely that voting for you makes a person suspicious, and I believe to outsiders we're equally valid targets (as are Najs and Seen, but we can't have four candidates and Seen is newly returned so I'd save his arse from the barbecue).

As I just returned I have no idea how most of you regularly act, so ill just follow LSST:
Vote al'seen, whos sounds like a mohammedean.
Vote al'seen, whos sounds like a mohammedean.
Interestingly, it appears that my unordered list managed to place them in numerical order. Rather easy, mind, considering that everyone except Najs is on 3, and the first person to be voted was scratched off the list and replaced by Najs fairly quickly...
Vote Count:
Najs - 4 - enkhuush (141, 162), reis91 (149, 159, 163), Falc (176), snoopdogg (187)
vainglory - 3 - rendap (148), johho888 (169), randakar (145, 147, 182)
randakar - 3 - boris ze spider (146), najs (144, 158), vainglory (142, 174)
seen - 3 - the_hdk (183), Yakman (184), Teep (189)
Boris ze Spider - 1 - Kingepyon (177)
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong for the simple reason that I am a villager. Anyone voting me is automatically a little more suspicious than others, because you're voting for a known (to me) goodie.
And in this particular case, it's worse. I don't play like this as a wolf. Everyone who has played with me for any length of time knows that, and you should have known that too. But you decide to ignore such information and vote me anyway. To me, that makes you doubly so.

Seen and joeb haven't voted yet. A chance for me to come back and have my revenge!
Your right... where are they?
Okay, time to write up the rp. Do you think you can all wait a few minutes after deadline for me to post results or do you want me to post the results on deadline and edit in the rp?

Once they had decided on a course of action, however, the villagers were hard-pressed to decide on whom to kill. After all, who really could be suspected of being a werewolf? Everyone in the community seemed so normal…
Soon the village square was filled with the rise and fall of angry, arguing voices. Despite the dubious evidence supporting the guilt of anyone, it soon became a frenzied chaos of votes, with long-harbored enmities between villagers emerging in the ugly form of accusations.
One of the first accusations was against King, the village mayor, but it was quickly dismissed by the others because of its source; “Kash”, a boy of terrible reputation long-suspected of being the source of disappearing valuables around the village. This was then followed by an accusation against Sir Rendap by Pelinal Whitestrake, and a wild volley of accusations followed it. Eventually, suspicion rested on the shoulders of four men; Pelinal Whitestrake, suspected for his accusation of a noble member of the Knights Templar; Rand, the scribes apprentice, who had often been seen skulking around at strange hours of the night… possibly to seek the attentions of a certain baker’s daughter, as one person pointed out; al’Seen, the villager bowyer, due to his tendency to stalk the woods late at night; and finally, Mr. Holier T. Hanthou, purely because of his irritable nature, annoying high-pitched voice, and regular scathing remarks about other members of the village. By the end of the day, the villagers decided to simply string Mr. Hanthou up on the gallows, just in case, and continue this business the following day. Holier went to his death shrieking the whole way, and Snoopy, the nominated headsman, did a poor job of the noose, so he managed to slip his head out from it and scurry away, resulting in a long night of hunting before they finally found the man, dead from (assumedly self-administered) poison and lying in his bed. Nothing seemed to indicate that he had been any kind of monster, though no one would deny that he had been evilly annoying, and all agreed that removing him had been a far from sad affair. In fact, the only regrets anyone seemed to have was that they had not been able to strangle him themselves.
It was not until the following day that the grim discovery was made. It appeared that during the night, the young rogue “Kash” had decided to take advantage of the confusion and slip away for some late-night thievery. It also appeared that he had stumbled across a werewolf while snatching some loaves of bread from the baker’s shop, who had then decided to mingle the thief’s blood with every loaf, cake and other baked good of any variety in sight. No one was especially sad to see the boys death, in fact most thought of it as a stroke of good luck that not just one, but TWO, annoyances had been dealt with that day… though most of the village vowed to stay away from the baker’s shop for a long time after that.
Najs, the Innocent Villager, was lynched.
enkhuush, the Innocent Villager, was hunted by the wolves.
Not my best work, but I have a splitting headache and so its the best I could do. Expect plot inconsistencies, grammatical mistakes, etc.

I take it enkhuush was hunted, not lynched
Unless that last vote count was wildly inaccurate and we had a bunch of ghost votes on him that everyone somehow missed ..
edit:
Najs was good, I am good. That leaves one person of the frontrunners alive that I don't know the allegiance of: Vainglory.
For people who don't have the benefit of knowing what side I'm on here, I'd propose focusing analysis on the remaining living Najs voters: reis91, falc, and snoopdogg.
Also, another point here: I wasn't hunted. Too bad Boris didn't get into the danger zone, or I'd say that makes it less likely that Boris is a wolf.
