Okay, Nog's latter posts actually sound very moderate and he has a point (even though he's reiterating what e.g. I think Zil or who it was already said about the situation of that hypothetical Day 4). That makes me discard the idea of voting him now. If I were to choose from the other people who already have votes, then G55 might be an option, probably the best one. But I don't know. Generally I must say I am rather clueless. Pitch was also a tad suspicious, but the cobbler-talk was equally strongly performed by Agan, so that makes them basically even, maybe the only "bonus" on Pitch's side was also the Kath-comment. But really probably G55 would be the best pick. I don't have any strong subject among the rest enough to push it (I'll be watching Lommy for the Menel-wagoning early on and the general "harshness", but maybe it was just the state of mind), as if it mattered at this point anyway...

Pitch's vote made me uneasy when I saw it yesterday, and it still looks suspicious this morning. Thus, I believe I'm going to go with my (still a bit squeamish) gut. ++Pitch I doubt I'll be back again before DL, but hopefully the lynch goes good. Until later, my dears! :) |
Voting then...

Okay... not sure what the vote count is now, but I think G55 is still more creepy than Pitch.

“It was Nogrod!” Pitch cried. He pointed a finger to the retired barkeep.
“No, Inzil is in league with the wolves. He'll kill us all.” Menel jumped in. All day the villagers had argued. Things had been bad when the food started to run out, but now it was getting worse. The Hobbits had come up with the terrible idea of killing the guilty party. A life for a life. Kitanna was dead and someone had to pay. “Galadriel did it!” Inzil said, trying to keep his calm after unjust accusations from Menel. “It had to have been Pitch. He's always been a shifty one.” G55 moved to quick to shift the blame from herself. “And he cheated me on a bushel of apples last spring.” “You're all fools!” Pitch backed himself into a corner. “I didn't kill anybody. You all know it was Nogrod! He's been skulking around here ever since he retired.” The others exchanged looks. A life for a life. Four Hobbits rushed Pitch, dragging him into the center of the room. They formed a circle around him, jeering, demanding he confess to his crime. Pitch continued to protest. He was innocent, they needed to look into their own hearts for the guilty. No one was sure after that who threw the mug, but when it hit Pitch's head the villagers descended on him. Most of the blows landed on Pitch, but a few closest to him were struck in the close confines of the circle. They kicked and punched, someone even taking up another mug to smash into his head. After a few minutes they backed off. Pitch's blood pooled around him. His body lifeless. Lommy and Kath searched his person. They found nothing. There was no baying from wolves outside, no thunder cracking to denote evil had died, no nothing. Pitch had died innocent.

Everyone else, sleep. |
Inzil stayed late to clean up the mess left by the unfortunate Pitch's death. There was no need for the villagers to be reminded of their tragic mistake. However, the blood stain wasn't coming up out of the wood despite all his vigorous scrubbing. A rug of sorts would need to be put down before tomorrow.
The door to the tavern opened. The night air stuck in Inzil's throat. The sheer bitterness of it seized his lungs. This weather was too cold for decent Hobbitfolk to live in. “We're closed and you know it,” he said to the intruder. His eyes never left the blood stain, his hands continuing their work. “Won't you even serve us a mug of hot cider on a cold night like this?” Three pairs of snow covered Hobbit feet circled Inzil. He got to his feet and shook his rag in their faces. “Go home to your families! How can you want hot cider or anything else after what we done to poor Pitch today. Get out of here.” One of the intruders grabbed hold of Inzil's feet, wrestling him to the ground. When he was down another grabbed hold of his feet. The third grabbed a stray scarf and slipped it around Inzil's neck. The barkeep spurted and choked, trying to kick off his attackers. As the life drained away his fight slowed. As the last breath escaped, there was a brief moment when a third eye shown on his forehead. The three dragged him out into the snow to leave him for their wolfy compatriots. They went home content in the knowledge they had killed the seer.

Uh-oh. That was bad news...
Thinking positively, there should be a hint of some sort, probably clear enough in Zil's posting on D1 as otherwise the wolves are too darn lucky. I'm going to look for something in there and suggest a few more pairs of eyes do the same so that we miss nothing. |
Well, there goes the optimism...
I can't see an obvious reason for the wolves to pick Zil except that he was non-controversial and not suspected in any major way by anyone - and his early vote for G55 doesn't stand out in any way. He did defend ("defend" may be a too strong word here though) Menel, Agan and Kath to some degree by kind of questioning the validity of some suspicions thrown at the three. He seemed to switch his mind somewhat on Pitch and me (first thinking Pitch's suspicion on Menel and Kath and his vote on me looked bad and then later saying his vote on me looked something he'd consider following - but that G55 looked worse). The strongest there was seems to be his concern on behalf of Menel - like these (two different times): Quote:

#4. IC banter. #16. Agrees with Kath that the Cobbler is particularly dangerous. Disagrees with Pitch that Menel's "obvious" advice on wolf-catching is particularly suspicious (using the phrase "I don't see that" –a possible hint?). Approves of Pitch being vocal, however. Points out that the cobbler needs to avoid Night-kills– this was a response to the exchange between Kath (#11), Agan (#12)and Pitch (#13). In context, it doesn't seem a particularly "Captain Obvious" statement at all– which is interesting since later it became something of an issue. #32. IC banter. Responds to G55's and my own comments about Menel (#25, #26): Quote:
#39. Accepts my pointing out (#33) that G55 and my posts commenting on Menel's "obviousness" actually crossed. Accepts Menel's clarification at #38. #55. (responding to Legate): Quote:
Disagrees with Pitch that Kath's question at #19 is suspicious. Is somewhat wary of Pitch. Responding to Shasta at #53, says he too is "rather bothered" by G55, and may vote her. Also in response to Shasta, who asks why those who "pounced" on Menel for "stating the obvious" didn't do the same to Zil (see #16.), says, "I don't know either. Are you trying to incite them to do so?" #56. Vote-post. Quote:
The voting-pattern yesterDay also strongly suggests G55 might be a wolf, rescued from the gallows by her comrades. (However, we should bear in mind that, by definition, this would be a perfect framing-opportunity.) EDIT:X'd with Nogrod.; edit 2: typo. |
One thing possibly supporting the idea Zil might have dreamt of Menel: his quite strong statement "more than one person homing in on it at once puts one in mind of a pack of salivating beasts eyeing some raw meat" comes already at time when Pitch has suspected Menel, Nerwen has commented quite neutrally on it, and G55 has carried off with it. So there were actually only two suspicions on Menel at that time and he went that strong against them?
Another thing possibly supporting the idea Zil might have dreamt of G55 as a wolf: with the paranoic eyes of the wolves at Night searching for seer-hints, they might have read Zil saying "more than one person homing on it..." in the following way: "first suspector okay, the second one - aka G55 - is a salivating beast". That would be strongly said, like a seer might do it. And Zil went to vote G55. EDIT: X'd with Nerwen |
I'll post D1 voting and then I'll be off for some time. Be back later.
Pitch -> Nog Zil -> G55 G55 -> Pitch Menel -> Zil Shasta -> G55 2 Agan -> Pitch 2 Lommy -> Agan Sally -> Pitch 3 Nog -> Pitch 4 Legate -> G55 3 From the Pitch-lynchers Sally's and my votes stand up, clearly, whereas G55's and Agan's votes are more safe. So if someone tried to save a wolf-G55, it most probably would be Sally or me (which I am not). Also if G55 is a wolf then Legate looks quite good as that would have been extremely risky at the last minutes as he couldn't have been sure someone wouldn't come in and still vote for G55 (it was 8 minutes before the DL). But there's one major "if" there: if G55 is a wolf. Now that we don't know, but if we'd have to vote now I'd be inclined to test that "if". |
So, I wonder who and what we're dealing with here. Innocent Nogrod? Nogwolf tossing his comrade under the bus? Nogwolf cackling to himself at the initial success of his frame-up on an innocent? Discuss.

That's a savage blow. A really savage blow.
I think that Zil has been killed either because he did not leave a clear enough trail, or because he left a nice false trail in my direction; I doubt that the wolves saw him as the Seer (unless Shasta is one of them, in which case anything is possible). With my - and the wolves' - knowledge (ie that I am innocent), yesterDay was a field day for the wolves. They had two innocent bandwagons to choose from. Pitch -> Nog Zil -> G55 G55 -> Pitch Menel -> Zil Shasta -> G55 (2) Agan -> Pitch (2) Lommy -> Agan Sally -> Pitch (3) Nog -> Pitch (xed with sally) (4) Legate -> G55 (xed with Nog) (3) (innocents in italics) When looking at the tally objectively, I'd suspect myself as well, except that fortunately I'm not schizophrenic. It's really hard to analyse, because both bandwagons were against innocents. Instead of doing this by the tally, I'll go back and try to see when the suspicion on Pitch (possibly myself too, I'll see if there's some worthwhile suspicion) began to rise in relation to the tally. And I'll also comment on some things that were said yesterDay. Edit: xed with Nerwen |

The way you flip-flop about him, too – you defend him in one post, but then list a number of reasons (f.ex. #74) for why you could suspect him, and back and forth. Quote:
PITCH SUSPICION - well, it kind of just flew up right after Pitch's vote. And then people started voting for him one after the other. What alerts me is that Nog was the second last (crossed with third last and last) person to vote, though he flew at Pitch the moment he (ie Pitch) wrote his pre-vote suspicion on him. There's not much to be gained by analysing it this way, I see. What I would like to say, though, is that I would put my money on Menelbeing Inzil's dream. In post #55 Quote:
Meanwhile, Nog doesn't look all that good. If anything, he's topping my list of suspects toDay. Edit: xed with sally |

And yet, as much as it stood out, the comment itself strikes me as a very common G55 thing to say, having seen her and many other innocents (myself included) lynched early in the game due to the same problem: wording. And yet, in such a game, where we cannot read each others emotions, faces and body language, it is the only the factual thing we have to go on. But it still stands out to me as a very innocent G55 thing to do. Her voting placement (which I apologize for my lack of yesterDay) along with that of Noggins looks rather bad on both of them. Perhaps taking a closer look at the voting and timing would be beneficial to us, as I seem to recall a slew of votes all roughly at the same time. Or maybe that's just my time meld acting up again...... Anyways, I must be off. I will be on periodically to comment as I can, but today(RL) commences my five days without rest period of the show.....again..... |

I will go do the ubiquitous Inzil analysis. The more eyes on his posts the better with all this talk of misrepresenting words going on! |
Post 1:
I can't see anything in this that would suggest Seer. Given the current furore over G55's use of 'savage' - if we're picking at everything - Inzil says it here. Post 2: Apart from that sentence: 'meh, I don't see that' in response to Pitch again clues are well hidden if they're there. Does appear to be defending Menel, or at least trying to lessen or dampen suspicious of him. Also deflecting suspicion from Pitch arising as a result of his (Inzil's) disagreement with him over Menel. Post 3: Menel has merited a comment for his words, but more than one person homing in on it at once puts one in mind of a pack of salivating beasts eyeing some raw meat. Menel could be seen as suspicious but the people bandwaggoning him are much more suspicious. Is my reading of that. Suggesting perhaps not having dreamed Menel. He has merited a comment - if you are the Seer and you've dreamed of an innocent and you're trying to leave clues, this isn't enough to later use as evidence. G55, Pitch and to a degree Agan were the people who had so far had something to say against Menel. Less so Agan, as she wrote that he could be 'either' and that she was waiting to make her mind up about him. Post 4: The above being said, Inzil is ignoring the stating the obvious from Menel. Or actually agreeing with it. That is quite a definitive support for Menel there. (Aside: long Pitch list post here. Backtracks on Menel suspicion. Only says about G55 that she has made a content free first post. Then notes this was written before she added suspicion on Menel. Doesn't then follow this up with anything within this post about G55, but does suspect Nog as a result of his catch up with the thread. This strikes me as off. If G55 is a wolf I think Pitch could be a wolf buddy.) Post 5: Thinks Pitch voted suddenly for Nog and occasionally wonders about Pitch. States that he is bothered by G55 and will likely vote for her. Looks like there's some suspicion of Shasta for acting as though he is trying to get others to bandwagon Inzil. Post 6: I guess I can see Pitch's point on Nog, and it's tempting to follow Pitch's lead there. This sentence makes me less suspicious of Pitch as it might suggest Inzil had dreamed of Pitch and therefore his lead wouldn't be a negative one. However, as an innocent doesn't actually 'know' anything I think this would be a misleading clue for the Seer to lead if he had dreamed of Pitch. The next sentence: However, I think that in the totality of circumstance, G55 looks worse. This is stronger. May be more likely to be the dream. My G55/Pitch theory is put in jeopardy by that vote of G55's for Pitch. It's very bold wolf on wolf if it is that! (Aside: Ps. a message for Lommy who I know will appreciate it: you haven't seen before how looks the trumpet! <-- This was our favourite line!!) If the dream choices are Menel and G55 I'm not sure I've really answered the question of which is more likely. Feels like G55, and the suspicion there was consistent. |

I'm not feeling very well at the moment (or, rather, am feeling very unwell), so I don't think I can participate toDay as much as I would have liked to. I'll be around, but not as much as I would have liked. EDIT: to add to my first point, if Inzil wanted to hint at my being evil, he would not have dismissed the first point so lightly. Instead, he puts emphasis on me questioning Menel - and votes me because of that, not because of the she-cobbler case or whatever else. |
Quote:
I think I'll reread his posts myself to see what I can make of it. Also, there is still the question whether it was "random", or whether it was because the WWs actually spotted some Seerishness. In any case, it is clear that the WWs do want to kill the Seer, but then again, on first Night... I mean, that would have to be really good spotting on their part. Quote:
Basically, from what was said this far, I am somewhat worried about toDay depending a lot on G55 being a Wolf. G55 is acting very "hedgehogishly" (defensively), and I think she could act like that if she is a Wolf under such suspicion - but there is truth to that it would be a great frame-up too, seeing she was the second runner. Quote:
However, there is some stuff G55 says which makes it sound genuine, and which also a desperate innocent could say, like this reaction to Shasta: Quote:

Quote:
Altogether, major observations: I am not sure what to make of Nog today, his activity in looking for clues about Inzil's death is sort of mingled with some rather confusing conclusions and most of all, certain "suggestive behavior", it seems to me. Nerwen comes and has some sharp points which look genuine. I am not sure about G55. Of course, if Nog is a Wolf, then yesterDay might have been a really tight escepe from the noose based on a fellow-save (and the same goes if Sally was the Wolf, or even if both of them were, since they crossposted), but then again, one could ask, if G55 is under suspicion (but then again, Day 1 suspicions might not mean much), would it be worth it for the WWs to save her one Night and still having her threatened (possibly even more) the next Day? I will check on Zil's posts and be around... EDIT: x-ed with G55. |

Next up: replying to stuff from late yesterDay. There really haven't been too many posts in this game... |
Two of my favourite players gone (and partly because of me - sorry Pitch!). Where's the fun now? I quit.
Also, sorry G55, I lied. I'm not the seer. I've had a fantastic day complete with psychopatic coworkers, meeting people who've done bad things and whom bad things have happened to, and sexual harassment. I'm drained and might go to sleep rather early. By the way Nog, I saw you smoking in front of Kaisla just an hour ago. Whenever you look out the bus/car window when passing a pub, expect Nog to be there. ;) Also, for the sake of fairness I should tell you that while tortoise hunting yesterday, Lommy walked in on me sending a werewolf related PM (the contents of which she didn't see before I shooed her off). I may tell you who it was for when the game is over - before that, you're free to guess if you'd like. ;) Anyway. I see Zilly's point in defending Menel and I don't think it necessarily means he dreamt of him. It's just, Menel looked like such an easy target, so even if only a couple of people had suspected him so far, it had the potential to develop into something more serious. Quote:
I think G55's posts about Inzil's death look like damage control at the moment. It seems Shasta hasn't only been misquoting me but also G55. There's also the possibility, even if slight, that the cobbler thwarted Inzil's dream on night 1. Unless I'm totally utterly mistaken, she was allowed to try her luck at the very beginning. Ps. I love blood. |
Oh MASSIVE headdesk about Pitch - sorry! I caught up on yesterDay but clearly had a stupid moment as I was thinking about Inzil.
Well, then, as Pitch is innocent ... G55 is more likely to be a wolf based on what I said earlier. Hopefully that now makes a bit more sense. I will try to develop more of a brain for future use! |
As I'm clearly not with it ... I will vote now.
++Galadriel55 Based on my analysis of Inzil, the only real clues he seemed to leave were about Menel and G55. The ones about G55 seemed clearer and the ones about Menel pointed to his innocence anyway. |
Quote:
If Galadriel is a wolf, then Sally's vote is also worth raising eyebrows at, not only Nog's. Quote:
|
I'm not going to be around much today as I have a lot of real life things to do.
As such, I agree on G55; she does grasp at straws for suspicions and the voting pattern for yesterday is suspicious and implicates Sally as well. ++Galadriel55 |
Okay, so I have re-read Zil's posts and it indeed seems as if, if he dreamt of anybody at all, it was most likely Menel. Of the living people he interacted with/mentioned in some way that it gives merit, apart from him, he mentions G55 negatively, but only once (in relation to his vote), and Kath with sort of nothing-this-way-or-another-seeming statement.
Quote:
Quote:
EDIT: x-ed with two votes! and Lommy |
After rereading Zil's posts I would say it's more likely he dreamt Menel than Gal, and also possible that he dreamt someone else entirely, but didn't speak a word. (For example the person hadn't said anything he could comment on before he had to vote and leave.) One thing that speaks in Menel-dream's favour is that he was the first person Zil mentioned.

And this is also the post-with-the-smiley-that-looks-weird-to-me. #49- Whoa! That's overreacting, if you ask me. I don't think Pitch used the 40 posts to "partially justify his vote", as Nog says. Pitch explained clearly why he's voting Nog: because of not committing to a suspicion. Then, his long speech where he talks about "trying out something" doesn't make much sense either. This sounds more like a guilty Nog, because that's usually when he doesn't sound logical to me. #71 - thoughts on voting. Says will not vote Menel. Thinks either I or Pitch could be wolves, but probably not both. #74 - the reply to Menel. See my post from before for comments: Quote:
#77 - elaborates on his suspicion on Pitch #80 - Quote:
#83 - votes Pitch. #85 - tells Legate he didn't vote me because I usually get lynched early because I'm always "like that". Which I guess is true. But then what was the point of saying several times that I am suspicious, he could vote for me, etc., to then say something similar to what he said about Menel - I get lynched early too often for these reasons? DAY 2 #81, 90 - looks at Zil. Thinks he could have dream Menel. #92 - gives support for Menel's dream to be either Menel or me. The support is kinda... stretchy, though. Especially on me being a wolf, I daresay. #93 - speculates on the possibilities of "if G55 is a wolf". His thoughts here are based on logical argument. Considers "testing that 'if'". Conclusion: Nog doesn't sit right with me. Definitely someone I would consider voting. I would expect Nog to be more logical in the places I've mentioned, more decisive in his suspicions (well, do you or don't you?), and more calm when he is suspected. He seemed very eager to avoid votes (sorry for the bad phrasing), with that smile to Pitch right before the vote when what he says sounds like something of a completely opposite mood, and then he tried to ridicule Pitch's reasoning, which gives the impression of "I don't want you to think he's right -- Badly!". He sounds kinda desperate in there, and illogical. I don't like that. So yeah, I'd be very wary of Noggins. Edit: xed since 110 - oi, that's a lot of posts |

I was saying that wolves like to kill people that lead the village down a false trail to an innocent - any innocent (not specifically me because I'm me, just any innocent that suits them best). Other factors play a role as well, but let's not overcomplicate it. In this case, this "any innocent" happens to be me. So yes, they framed me, but not to frame me specifically, just to frame an innocent. Is this clearer? |
If you're debating about Inzil's dream or fellow wolves saving me yesterDay, think of this:
-knowing that I am likely to go down in the first couple Days - which he does, would Inzil have picked me as his N1 dream? He's not stupid; he knows I am a waste of dream unless I actually survive Day 1 and am suspicious enough to merit one. -knowing that I wouldn't last anyways, and they could be placed under suspicion for that, would the mates risk saving me? It would be better for them to bus me, unless they are darned nice mates. |
