The Midsummer Maulings (WW5)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I really liked Firefoot. Part of it was because she agrees with me a lot, but I'm not so shallow that that's my entire reason for wanting her alive again. No, the reason I liked Footie was because I agreed with her reasoning on a lot of stuff.

Except now it seems that her reasoning got her killed. What we should do is wait for TGWBS to arrive, post his findings about her, and tell us that we should kill... someone. Only the problem with this is that her last suspect, apart from Mormegil, was TGWBS himself (and Kath... can't leave Kath out).

Does it strike anyone as odd that Firefoot accused those two and then DIED?

Two points. Uno: Why am I the official investigator-boy? Do it yourself...
Nah, I'll do it later, when time allows.

Two: I liked Firefoot too, agreeing on a lot of her reasoning. However, her death will prove less insightful than that of the Seer or the Guardian; as a normal villager, she knew nothing.

Now, there are four innocents. Holbytlass, I think, has been left alive as she is the Hunter. I have been left to cast suspicion upon me. That leaves three last night. Out of the three, Firefoot's death benefited them most. Why?

I shall return later. *mysterious swish of cloak as Shortie disappears*

Why am I the official investigator-boy? Do it yourself...

I labelled you official investigator-boy because you're so good at it, as well as punctual. However, if you want, I can post with all of my finding thus far, who they apply to, why I think we should lynch (or not lynch) each person, and all the while proclaim that I'm so innocent that your eyes would burn out of their sockets just from looking dead on at me, I glow with such purity and wind-blown-snowness. Actually, that's a bad idea. Well, the first part is fantastic... I'll post my findings now. The second part about me being so darned innocent? That's just a waste of bandwidth there. I'll let you decide for yourself. Just don't screw up or the wolves win, and that would seriously suck.

Gil (TTM): on Day 2, he defends Durelin, which is cool, but he votes for Kitanna, which goes to show that he knew what he was doing as much as any other plain old innocent (ie: he didn't). Yesterday, he accused Mormegil and Kath, which shows that he was thinking they were guilty, but he didn't show up to vote. The day ended swiftly, so we can't really blame him for that. Anyhow, his brief and sporatic posts don't lead me to believe that he is any sort of threat to the village. I think that we could take his words about Kath seriously, but that is countered by the idea that he was terribly wrong about Kitanna.

Holby: I'm nearly certain she's the Hunter, which like has been said, is why the wolves are probably leaving her alive. They wouldn't want to chance her choosing accurately when she dies, so they'll keep her around. Either that or she's a wolf and so the wolves can't kill her. I'm leaning more toward innocent, otherwise I never would have changed my Day 2 vote.

Kath: The Seer mentioned that she could be wolf or mytho, but since our late Seer never cemented any of her accusations with "I'm a Seer, take my words seriously", we can't be certain. Mytho would explain why she and Morm laid off each other on Day 2. Wolf is possible, but wolves don't usually directly attack comrades on Day 1, because Day 1 is so sketchy already. I don't know if she's innocent or guilty, but I'm leaning towards guilty. On the other hand, she defended Footie yesterday. Why would she, as a wolf, kill someone that she was allying herself with? Unless of course it was a ploy.

Nilp: Um... What is there to say about Nilp? He's in a far different time-zone, so we can't take his absences as evidence. On Day 2, he accused Mormegil (guilty), TGWBS (dunno), and NewGil (probably innocent). That really tells us nothing. I don't know if he's innocent or guilty, but if we had more people, I'd offer to lynch him just to simplify matters. I'd hate to find out after we're all dead that he's our sheep-skinned wolf.

Oromin: she's quiet and creepy. I do agree with her that her initial defense to my teasing was inexperienced theatrics. After all, we all know that only the experienced ones should be taken seriously. She could very well be a wolf, but I'm not so sure. It seems more that as an inexperienced player, she's keeping quiet to observe and learn without dying a brutal death.

TGWBS: I can't help but think that he's very dangerous. Firefoot's words made a lot of sense yesterday to me, and then she died. I like him a lot, because he likes me and defends me, but that's no grounds at all for not killing him if I think he's guilty. See, I've had all these nightmares where a wolf might ally him/herself with an innocent. Since he's allied himself with me, it makes me nervous. Either he's an innocent that honestly believes me, or he's a wolf and wants my endorsement as a good guy.

Ta da! There you go, TGWBS, I gave you the world as I see it.

He and Morm have done some light accusing of each other, about the right amount for two werewolves who don't want to be associated with each other. However, TGWBS has also done some defending of Morm. This is one of two things: a) a wolvish slip or b) innocent confusion and genuine desire to only lynch innocents. I do wonder if his accusations of Morm are a huge bluff - point out one (now fairly obvious) wolf and thereby clear himself.

True, Firefoot did point me out here. I explained this later, though, when she accepted my defence.
I also know that I have not yet cleared my name. I made a lot of mistakes, and I need to make up for them before anybody trusts me again.

I am probably most inclined to think that Kath is a wolf; however, if Kath was a wolf, I doubt Morm is, unless a) they're playing at a bluffing game, or b) Kath was the mytho and turned wolf. And, oddly enough, Morm and Kath are quite suspicious of each other on Day 1, but then... basically nothing.

The mytho suggestion has been placed forward before, and I for one am inclined to support it. This suggests Kath's guilt, or perhaps her innocent with a bluff?

TGWBS, your defence is fairly satisfactory. I'll be checking it out closer, but for now I'm satisfied. I don't know if I really think you're a wolf or not, but, like Fea, I'd kick myself to find it was so.

I'm thinking to go after Kath tomorrow.

The vote of confidence in me. A reinforcement of her resolve to go after Kath.

That's all. I think I'm tempted to go after Kath, though I will need to look at many other things first.

I am, hopefully at least, extremely dangerous. Firefoot ended the day defending me. I do like you, but I refuse to defend you. You're the intelligent, bonkers one. You need watching. That said, I think it's reasonably likely that you're innocent.

And I don't mind being investigator boy really. Just keep scary looking but suspiciously bipedal monsters away from me.

Edit: A quick break-up of the village as I see it.

Innocent: Me.
Hunter: Holbytlass.
Likely Innocent: Feanor of the Peredhil.
Like Mytho-wolf: Kath.

That leaves two wolves in the ranks of:
Oro
Nilp
G-GTTM.

Ideally I would like to see Kath lynched today. I have more suspicion of some on "the list" than others, but will not speak for today, on the presumption that the wolves would never kill me.

[Holbytlass]

I'm not sure about anything except Feanor's innocence.
One thing that struck me as odd is Gil's reincarnation. Was it really about not letting go of numbers if a certain someone who never appeared just died or about the secret role diappearing?
For lack of experience Gil1 was lynched for not being here enough, given a chance to do again in same village, Gil(TTM) is here even less. Any thoughts?

[the guy who be short]

Gil1 was lynched for appearing to be in league with some other members of the village, if I recall correctly.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I was under the impression that we lynched him because he was a blood-thristy little berk. It's a little depressing that we all killed him for different reasons.

One thing that struck me as odd is Gil's reincarnation. Was it really about not letting go of numbers if a certain someone who never appeared just died or about the secret role diappearing?

Yes... that struck me as well. Would it really make that much of a difference, once into the game, if a normal innocent had to unexpectedly "die"?

[the guy who be short]

Anybody here not of the opinion that Kath should die next?
