I'm beginning to suspect Doc more and more, actually. He is always a bit wordy, but he usually has an actual point to make. He also usually states a clear goal with his vote. I suppose he could be following my reasoning for Crush, though. It just seems rather less analytical than I would expect from him.

Oh, and could you give a bit of motivation for your Elbbsas vote, Kane Lives?

Its basically using the reasoning given by Gerrick and Doc to vote for Crushita or Elbbsas.  The primary reason for Elbbsas instead of Crushita is that I do not like joining dogpiles and I actually prefer going against the flow.

I see.

... Unless your point here was that the no lynch votes were giving you nothing to work with, Doc?

It's exactly that.
I've been a bit salty that previous Werewolves haven't had No Lynch options, because all the ones I've played in person have always had that as an option. But now in this game, there's none of small tics that can sort of clue you in on someone even with a No Lynch, because it's all online, all text. And now that I see that, I fully understand why No Lynch is generally banned.
Because I have no evidence to work with, I'm pretty much just willing to dogpile at this point, right or wrong, so we can get some kind of idea of whose motivations are what, instead of just sitting on our hands voting No Lynch, praying the Ranger(s) get it right, and getting picked off.

This is twice now that people voted for me with the reasoning of *shrug others said to* which is making me raise my eyebrows.

I shall Accuse: Crushita for the following reasons: He turned up later in the game and is thus unlikely to be a Ranger (as per Gerrick's reasoning), the fact that he voted for me three minutes after Gerrick did, and when he (and Kane Lives, come to think) changed to voting not to lynch he did it last and without fluff around it.
Aaaand because dying is painful. Just a bit.

When did I change my vote?

My bad, thought you'd voted for someone else before you voted not to lynch.

I don't quite understand why I of all people am being targeted. While I can see some of the points here, most of them just seem to be bad timing on my part, I voted for Elb when I did because I had just finished reading through  the thread and thought Gerrick made a good enough argument that I didn't need to elaborate on it, and I changed to no lynch last because I hadn't read what had happened in the thread until then and since the tide had clearly turned to no lynch it was an obvious choice. Overall all this has taught me is that I need to be more attentive to this game. Or just get more time.

Anyway, since he both has one vote and I still find him rather suspicious I'll vote for Elbbsas

You have under 24 hours to vote!

I agree with Doc's reasoning about voting no lynch, but at the same time the reasoning to vote for Crush is a little flimsy to me. Any vote I make won't matter though, as Crush will be lynched anyway. So I Vote: Crushita

As one of the new people around here, I have to say there are a lot of suspicious characters here.

Oh Laurentus posted before I finished this, so I guess I'll just go with that vote instead of saying 'I'm going to go with what Laurentus goes with when he picks'.

Bold mine. In all the Werewolf games I've been in I don't think I've ever seen one player say they intended to vote along with another player before that player had even voted. To me this is suspicious as hell, and I wonder if that is why Laurentus, the person Doc intended to vote blindly with, is suddenly distancing himself from him. Besides that, I just don't understand the rationale for voting for Crush this round...if we're going with the strategy of voting off everyone Gerrick suspected, wouldn't it make more sense to start with the person he actually voted for, Elbbsas?

I honestly wonder if Crush and Elbbsas are both brothers that are being played against each other. We lynch one who turns out to be innocent, so our suspicion of the other grows and we vote to lynch them, and if they both turn out to be innocent we've done the Others' dirty work for them.

So I'm left in a bind. If I were voting for the most suspicious person, I'd vote for Doc, but if I were voting to try to protect Crush then I would vote for Elbbsas, reasoning that it would at least make more sense to vote for the person Gerrick actually voted for.

Mostly, embarrassment that I screwed up on the PP-being-an-Other thing. When Charles died, my instinct said 'Laurentus', and I was ready to go all-in on him. Then whoever the Ranger is killed PP and instantly I said 'oh dear lord I would have made a terrible mistake'.
As a result, I'm about 99% sure that Laurentus is not, in fact, an Other, and so I'm pretty happy to vote whichever way he is.

This is a very, very likely scenario, it all makes sense. It all lines up. It might not save me, but if reason prevails then I'd much rather lynch someone who has a higher chance of being an other, so I vote Doc

I'm suspicious as hell of Doc, but at the same time, I doubt he'd come right out and declare he'd simply bandwagon with someone else if he were an Other. That's like the easiest way to spot a wolf. It's so baffling that I doubt any wolf would do it. So for now, I'm going with my gut with Crush, and if he ends up being innocent, I'm going with Elbbsas, and after that, Doc. I might come to regret it, but we'll see.

Still, I have to vote who I'm most suspicious of. Accuse: Doc.

"This quiet one seems quite odd," remarked Yoren.

"Aye, he was one of the spies of the Spider," said Jon Arryn. "I do not know what he will now do, in the absence of his master."

"Oh, you won't have to worry about him anymore," said Cersei, cheerily.

"What?" asked Thoros, confused. "Why?"

"We just found him drowned in the well about an hour ago," came the response. "How clumsy!"

Yoren and Arryn looked at each other, and after a brief while, decided it was not worth it to speak up.
The little bird, a sentry, a.k.a. Crushita, has been voted off and drowned by his fellow crows.

It is now night! The day phase will begin in about 24 hours, on Thursday, February 15, at around 7:00 PM PST.

Additionally, @13ricity has arrived at Castle Black! Lose a little bird, gain a little bird.
