Coppermirror, Boro, Sally, and Lotti: In game shenanigans. Nothing more. Nothing less.
post #8: Nerwen, much of the same in game banter, though I liked her "theory" on moviephiles lining up for their favorite films in order to be the first. But nothing substantial in her post.
Posts #9-12: More of the same.
Post #13: Lommy creates a list of what will happen for the Day, including Kath missing the day, Nog being quiet, and Lottie or myself being lynched.
Post #14: Boro brings up the first post about the Maniac. Maniac equates to wildcard.
Post #16: Lommy puts in her two cents on how she views the Maniac.
Post #17 & 18: Legate adds his two cents. Then Nerwen with hers.
Post #19: Zil clarifies. Apparently I missed this post entirely on my first read through.
Post #24: Kath appears, speculates on Maniac

I would agree with Legate that the Maniac isn't counted in the baddie count given their variable role.
|
I would say, like me, she probably hadn't seen Zil's response on the Hunter nature of the Maniac.
Post #25: Nog says what he likes of Boro's statement, reiterating the fact we do not want to lynch the Maniac. Also makes a comment about Nerwen's gun-happiness.

which could be just a way of trying to get the ball rolling and therefore laudable.
|
though this statement could be seen as the very same thing, seeing as Nerwen's gun-happiness looked to be nothing more than in game banter, maybe being used to draw out overly defensive folk.
Post #26 & 27: Greenie lists what she likes of everyone so far. The most interesting thing she says is

Sally also mostly banters this far, and calls Inzil's rules clarification "informative, yet strangely unsettling". Something there?
|
I'm not sure why Greenie would read that as something there. The Maniac to me is an unsettling role, given that who goes down in the event of their death is random and especially worrying in they are lynched. That's what I would guess Sally meant by unsettling. But Greenie's response is odd to me.
Though I do like what Greenie brings up here

Yes, this is a valid point and, I think, an important one, but the thing is - how does the Maniac behave? How do you impersonate a Maniac? I mean, if the Maniac plays for the village they'd want to get Night-killed, right? Which would mean they might try to impersonate the Seer, which would mean the wolves would try to impersonate the Maniac who tries to impersonate the Seer who tries to impersonate... I mean, maybe you others can follow this, but I can't, at least not this tired. Anyway what I'm saying is that catching someone "impersonating the Maniac" is easier said than done.

Post #28: Lommy suggests the Maniac reveal so we have a known innocent.
Post #29: Nog comments on the afore mentioned Greenie post.
Post #32: Greenie says
Quote:

It comes down to whether we value a known innocent over possibly having the Maniac take down a wolf. I can't say.
|
Which I have to say is probably the most important thing to take away from Lommy's plan.
Post #33: Nog agrees with Greenie.
Post #34: Lommy retracts her plan
Post #35: Legate leans toward agreeing with Lommy's plan or at least sees more value than risk. Lays down some reasons why it's a good idea. It didn't jump out at me when I first read it, but I'm surprised at how agreeable Legate was with this plan. Seems off.
Post #36: Sally finds Lommy's plan too risky.
Post #40 & 44: Me proving once and for all I simply can't read. Legate correcting me.
Post #41: Greenie weighs in on a Maniac reveal.
Post #42: As does Legate, including scenarios of what could happen. And for the second time he mentions the wolves trading one of theirs to get to a known Maniac. Which to be seems like a careless, dangerous move for the wolves and I'm not sure why Legate thinks this is a likely scenario.
Post #48: Greenie votes for sally based on a feeling.

Something rubs me the wrong way here, maybe it's this being the only comment she makes on the whole Maniac issue in a post otherwise comprised of banter. Safely noncommittal, leaving ends open, casually concerned but not really.
|
Day 1 reasoning, but I find it interesting she goes for Sally. Other players fell into this same boat. The Maniac discussion was a huge part of the day and for the most part no one really laid out any suspicions (beyond the occasional vague feeling or banter related accusation). So why Sally?
Post #56: Nog:
Quote:
Now Lottie starts the Day with a kind of pre-emption underlining how she never gets through D1. Kitanna does more or less the same in her first post ("Woe is me!") - and Legate opens his Day by making an in character disclaimer that everyone knows how he hates the films.
All of those reports are true (I'm not sure how often Kit actually gets killed on D1 but I do have a feeling it has happened a couple of times) and they could be taken as just kind of sarcastic opening when there is little else to say
|
I'm not sure how else you would take those first two dozenish posts. Nothing had happened and the banter train hadn't quite run out of steam yet. It wasn't until Boro spoke that anything really happened, so mountains out of mole hills?
Post #57: Legate:
Quote:

Whereas I shared Greenie's concern about Sally - I had exactly the same gut feeling about that post, but the problem was that it was exactly only a gut feeling - that is not enough for me.
|
Did I miss something in Sally's post that was just super suspicious? Normally I do find Sally very suspicious early on, but honestly, I am seeing nothing that elicits a gut-feeling about her guilt. And yet two others have this same feeling. I feel worse about Legate's "gut feeling". He says "that is not enough" but seems like he's putting Sally in people's minds.
Post #58: Then Lommy joins in. Seriously, what am I missing?
Post #62: Legate gives us his list and thoughts
Quote:
|
I could at most vote Greenie or Boro based on slightly off gut-feeling.
|
I think I missed a post somewhere about Legate's suspicions (aside from the one where he says he had shared Greenie's opinion on Sally). Because I feel like I missed something when I read his thoughts on the village. I don't have time to go back and reread everything though, but I'm not liking what he's up to.
Post #64: Legate is off. Greenie and Lommy are mostly innocent.Typical day one "not sure who's who".
Post #65 & 66: Lays out who he trusts and who he finds suspicious and who is quiet. Then follows up with
Quote:

Oh... that didn't mean these three are going to be my choices...
|
Why was this necessary? Why not vote for one of the three you found moderately suspicious? It's Day 1, it's not like you're going to have a good reason to vote for anyone.
Post #67: Legate votes Boro.
Post #68: Lommy votes Sally.
Post #69: Nog votes for me. Which annoys me because of
Quote:

Starting with self-defence / martyr-role
|
because I responded to a banter post with banter and yet I never brought it up again. I can understand his other points against me, though I feel they could easily be transferred to a number of other players right now, but the self-defense part is bothering me a lot.
DL is fast approaching.
So I'm not overly fond of Nog, but I won't vote for him because I am more concerned with the three who shared concerns over Sally. Legate, Greenie, and Lommy.
I think of the three Greenie is the least evil. Lommy votes so as not to throw out more lynch candidates and puts Sally in the lead, fishy. And Legate, like I said earlier I think I must have missed something, but he made mention of having a gut feeling of Sally and then dropped it immediately. Like he pushed Sally's name out there some more for people to grab, then turned around and voted Boro.
