Pitchwife has bounded up my list of suspects. As Shasta said, why didn't he pile on Hakon though? Unless he thought it was too obvious?
Hakon still has the lead.

Third on the wagon, and hers definitely not a placeholder vote. There.

And that's it for now. Good night everybody. Hope to see most of you in the Morning.

Okay, this was the post. It really seemed padded. "Look what I'm doing I know will be questioned but I'm going to do it anyway so don't suspect me okay" This concerns me because by openly admitting that it will be suspicious and he does it anyway we naturally want to give him the pass.

However, with that said I reviewed a lot more of his posts looking for this one and besides this post there wasn't anything specific that caught my attention. It could be that I listened to others too much as these things go.

My suspects are Brinn, Hakon, Pitch and Rikae.

You ain't seen nothing yet. You're in luck, though - unlike some, I base my votes on actual suspicion, not annoyance.
You have breezed through remarkably unhelpfully, though, and while it's probably too late to lynch you toDay, toMorrow I will make sure you receive the scrutiny you deserve.

Nienna 08-13-2009 08:30 PM

*purrs over Shakespeare*

Well with deadline fast approaching I'm going to vote but I'll still be around until the end.

Pitchwife is being the most suspicious to me after his weird voting thing. Of everyone he seems the most baddie-like.

++Pitchwife

Nienna 08-13-2009 08:32 PM

Rikae--> Rikae
Form--> Mira
Morm--> Hakon
Alona--> Hakon
Sally--> Hakon
Brinn--> Morm
Autume--> Hakon
--Rikae---Rikae
--Form---Mira
Shasta --> Pitchwife
Mac --> Alona
Durelin --> Nessa
Pitchwife --> Alona
Zil --> Rikae
--Pitchwife -- Alona
Pitchwife --> Sally
Rikae --> Pitchwife
Nessa --> Rikae
Nienna --> Pitchwife
Form --> Nessa


So Hakon 4, Pitchwife3, Rikae and Nessa 2. Alona, Sally, and Morm 1.

Formendacil 08-13-2009 08:32 PM

The vote count, barring any cross-posting that may occur, as I make this decision is: Hakon 4, Pitchwife 2. Alona 1, Sally 1, Rikae 2, Morm 1, and Nessa 1.

My options, at this point, are twofold, if we discount No Voting--which I've already said I dislike. Option 1 is to add to an existing person's vote-count, which is to say one of the above. Or to add to that list by voting for someone new. Quite often, I choose the latter Day 1 strategy, but in the current, charged, atmosphere, I'm not sure that a random vote for Shasta, Lari, or Brinn is all that sporting--though Shasta has already displayed the knack of rubbing me wrong, probably because in suspecting Rikae, he's suspecting someone I think made sense today.

And, all things considered, I think I'd rather have a useful vote today. Starting a new bandwaggon isn't much help there, since that spreads the votes thinner. And as I have a hunch Hakon is innocent, I suppose that means I ought to be contributing to someone else who could possibly beat him.

Thing is, though, Rikae and Pitchwife are tied for second place, and Pitchwife really hasn't set my radar off any more than Rikae has. Admittedly, it's Day 1 and nobody's dead yet, but not setting my radar off is a good thing in a game where I told Boromir "but I don't really trust ANYBODY in this game" in the survey. As for the other four, Morm is on my don't kill list, because--yes--I think he can be useful. Sally's just fun, and I said I didn't want to kill her. As for the other two... well... I don't know that it's so much I want them alive as I don't see a pressing need to have them dead.

Nessa or Alona? It's bad form, perhaps, but they're almost the same person in my head... both played last game... Nessa was the wolf then, and Alona has the nicer avatar, but that's about all I can say to differentiate them.

Let's see... Rikae voted Nessa and Pitchwife voted Alona. Well, I guess I'd rather be wrong with Rikae than wrong with Pitchwife, and it's Day 1, so that's about all I've got.

++ Nessa

As to where I am, finished with dinner and listening to my cat kill the bird she didn't catch (caught by a different cat) and cringing. Poor birdy.

Bah I guess this means I have to vote now because it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to be here before the deadline. Man the computer I'm using has a bad keyboard.

And the bird is still crying in distress.

Zil hasn't been sounding so good since I last did my list. Its just a feeling I get from his posts. And since Mac's vote made him look more innocent to me I guess I'm going to vote for

++Zil

the phantom 08-13-2009 08:35 PM

Meh- I don't like it that the flow is really against Pitchwife now after he is gone and can't say anything. I'm not criticizing all suspicion of him- the timing just upsets me.

Anyway, I can't say much more now. Still tied up here. I'm hoping to come free before the end, but I'll at least get a vote in no matter what.

Form, you've never liked me in any games you've played with me, I get that, but I've never seen you blatantly lie about me before. I haven't suspected Rikae at all, and I'd like to know just where you got that particular assumption.

Boromir88 08-13-2009 08:40 PM

I ♥ all vote talliers. Anyone tallies votes gets 10,000 points from the Mod.

(Too bad points mean nothing in this game) :p

I do not Wild-eye.

Rikae 08-13-2009 08:42 PM

Hm, I hate to point it out, since I think Nessa is suspicious anyway and Form seems to base his vote on it to some extent, but I didn't vote for her - I voted for Pitchwife.

Shasta, considering Formy mixed that up, he probably just mixed your suspicions up too...

Does anyone have strong feelings about Hakon, alona, Nessa or autume (the newer players, I think)?

Also, if you fear me, please step forward - I'd enjoy the ego boost. :D

EDIT: Bolding names and also want to clarify - strong feelings about the newbies in general, rather than in this game.

In a person sense I trust Phantom, so that tends to bleed into the game a bit, but of course it does with all of you. I'm aware of how tricksy he is so I give him the benefit of the doubt but am always ready to kick myself for being wrong.

Newbies are newbies and I have no feelings on them as a group. Erm, I'm running short on time so I'm not gonna go through each of them now, sorry.

And Rikae, you scare the Skaro out of me.

Incidentally I was under the impression (not that he said it, just a feeling) that he'd been around here for ages, so....blah, heck if I know, but I thought it was interesting.

12 pages of Day 1. If you people are trying to create an environment in which wolves are easily able to hide, you're doing a great job at it. Seriously, what's too much is too much. :rolleyes:

Payback? Not at all. Everybody gets voted for all the time and I never had a harsh feeling for being voted (well, lynched maybe, and even then only briefly). I do find your post suspicious, even though it was an early-ish one (i.e. from page 7(?) :rolleyes: ), and felt that some pressure was due, especially since you were going to be back before the deadline. I'm not sure how to interpret your reaction now.


I was considering Pitchwife before, who now is Hakon's top contender, but somehow his actions, while strange enough, are exactly wolvish. Neither do I think Rikae and Nessa are evil.

*not happy*

What?

Hmm... must have been a misread or a mismemory... Perhaps an association of disliked idea with disliked player? All the same, if so, it's quite unconscionable of me. I'm quite sure someone said something that must have triggered me on this... let me go back and check.

Hakon 08-13-2009 08:46 PM

I am sorry to say I am desperate to save my skin. I might change this last minute. He also does look very suspicious.

Mac, I agree with you on the pages. This thread already has more pages then the last game thread and this one has only been one day.

satansaloser2005 08-13-2009 08:46 PM

Pitchie bothers the heck out of me now, dang it. The problem is that I don't feel right lynching him (well, telling you guys to, since my vote's locked) when he's left and now won't be able to explain why he did something so strange.

People. Tell me what you're thinking. Right now.

I think Pitchwife panicked, to be quite honest. I'm more inclined to believe cobblery or bear-ery (?) from Hakon than Pitchwife.

That's what I'm hoping. But the fact that he voted me instead of Hakon (or someone else with votes for that matter) makes me think that he's more concerned about the way votes make him look than the actual vote count.


Back in a tick.

mormegil 08-13-2009 08:51 PM

If you are worried about the volume of posts be thankful Lommy isn't here :p. She would have added at least 2 pages on her own.

EDIT: I had a vote count here but realized it was inaccurate, so I tried to fix it, only to have the internet freeze on me. So here lies an incorrect vote count that I tried to delete/fix almost an hour ago. Kthnxbye.

I blame whomever's vote list I scrolled down while posting to consult. Or mis-read, as the case may have been.

Ah, well, it's amusing given that I based my vote, somewhat, on your authority, but I think I still like the vote--and just as well, I guess, since I can't retract.

Still looking into the Shasta confusion.
