WWJ V: The Broken Souls

[Anguirel]

I see what you've been doing, and I've tried desperately to dilute it.

Jenny has a rather cogent point that you use methods rather inquisitorial in intensity; and I must say that your frequent disclaimers exacerbate them.

Perhaps I'm a peculiar case, but every time I hear a phrase like "no offense" in this game, my hackles rise. Lord above, we're accusing each other of murder, impersonation and Arda knows what; insisting that we don't mean no trouble, guv'nor, is quite, quite redundant.

As for your bizarre approach to the quietness of some; you suggest ignoring them and pretending they aren't there, all to gain a point about sportsmanship. I was merely attempting to make an illogical case into a logical one; don't pretend they're not there, ensure they're not there by hanging the blighters. If you think about it, the two cases aren't so diverse; it's just that mine is active and yours passive. I don't like or trust passivity.

Anguirel, thanks for your response.

Sure we are. But at this stage we just shoot in the dark and see what comes down and what stays up. But I would use the word "accuse" on something more solid. Not to talk of "demanding to accept".

Well. Taking two quiet ones out by voting plays to the hands of the wolves, at least at the later stages of the game, and it is totally random - which surely suits the wolves. I wouldn't mind losing a game to a bad-sport.

Kitchen and RL human company awaits. I'll be back before the vote, hopefully with something about Valier. She hasn't appeared this day though. What might be the reason? Maybe timezones? Would have to check that too...

Largely to Nogrod but also to Thinlomien...I worry that the smaller fishes are intimidated by the vast leviathans of your posting they have to wade through.

For the good of us all, I would suggest a little more concision-and please no schizophrenia!-in order to ensure a more varied contribution tomorrow. I fear today we may have quite a few non-voters.

I myself will be voting two hours early for reasons related to that fearsome werewolf that goes by the name of Life.

No vote: Witch Queen, Gil-Galad

Don't find suspicious at this moment: Anguriel,Nogrod (despite the heated posts) and Roa_Aoife.

Valesse I'm leaning towards less suspicious 'cause at the time of her vote there were plenty of others to vote for if she were a wolf. Gil-Galad and WitchQueen I put in this group for now because I don't see wolves being this downright unvocal and bringing undo suspicion on themselves.

Naria I find a bit more suspicious because I was already more so and her "safe" bandwagon vote doesn't speak well for her right now. Thinlomien is here because of her voting position and there is the possibility that THEKa voted for a fellow wolf early on to establish seperating themselves, but then things took off on THEKa.

Eonwe and Valier mild suspicion, both their votes seem like safe "innocent villager doing their best" but could be clever timing. Enca is mildly suspected just cause of the voting placement.

I have not had a chance to go back and check to see if people had voted for who they thought were suspicious all along.

At this point: my main suspects are Naria and Thinlomien

Thank you for everyone who has wished me a Happy Birthday!
Now for all of this Nogrod essay-writing and rhetoric-pointing garble. (And yes, I do find it very silly that I will be using quotes to start my points. Especially starting with: )

Now you pointed out yourself that I posted, what? An hour and a half before call time? To be honest, I'm a very slow reader and even if I had wanted to I could not have read the ENTIRE mass of posts on Day one. I did, however, get to the first half (or there abouts) and found that your call to action on post #10 (which is your first, as you well know.) was rather like jumping the gun. So if by having a currently busy life (Which I did mention in the WWJr thread) I am suspicious.

How do you mean false grounds and hiding my own intent? I do believe you might like to take a job with a newspaper, as I have yet to enlighten anyone my intent in this woe-begotten village. That 'quickness' was in referance to how soon it was mentioned, and if I may say so an hour and a half before time is up is not soon to anything. I was pressed for time, whereas - by your page and a half to two page responses on four to six sentence posts - I'd say you are unfamiliar with.

Obviously right now I am not as pressed for time.

I'm not trying to vindicate everyone in this bandwagon, because I also feel that its fishy. I had no intention of it being one at all, knowing that I was close to the (pun-roll, please) deadline, I assumed that I would probably be the last of two to vote. The fact that I mentioned that I was "just expressing my hunch" meant that I knew that my choice would not the the one lynched. And you weren't, now, were you?

So why is she clad in the mist of rhetoric (including downright lies!), and why the false accusations?

Lies? I see no lies. They are mere willow-wisps of your imagination. I'm sure that you are drastic. Right now I look a little drastic myself with this monsterous piece of literature et al. Just because it is my perception doesn't make it a lie.

Besides, this game is of perception and the corruption of it through alibi. Sure I could be making this whole bit up and just because, say, I don't like the letter N means that I'm going to bump you off instead of any hunch that I might have mentioned. (Though I am actually quite fond of the letter N.)

this is not like a birthday gift, but I'd like to mention, that I really am beginning to think, that you are the least suspicious one of the three of you...

Thank you.
But you're still my top suspect. : (
