WWJ Attack of the Werecats:The ppuuuurrfect village - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alcarillo · 03-27-2006, 10:28 PM

I come up to town and what do I find, but two of our friends dead! The deaths of poor Naria and Valier are truly saddening occurences, even worse when the acts have been commited by three werecats, in our midst even as we speak. So Day 1 begins.

I hate Day 1. Barely anything to go on. We're stumbling through the Lockholes with only a match to light our way. Plus I'll have to vote very soon (thanks to these new-fangled time-zones the King down in Gondor has set up everywhere). So, so far, so early in the game, I have no clear idea who I'm suspicious of. Maybe of those blabbermouths who would scare all the fish out of the ocean with their tall talk of strategies and what-not. I prefer simple gut voting on Day 1. Who here seems to be attackin' and defendin' so early in the game? Whoever it is, that's your gut feelin'.

Farael seems a bit eager to vote and spread suspicion. His vote for Eonwe looks like it's on shaky ground to me. My gut feeling is that I might vote for 'im. Plus I don't like the way he's askin' what's wrong with everybody. Everybody here is a perfectly ord'nary hobbit (except for those three who are werecats, of course). Now I'm goin' back to the stream to do some fishing and to mull over what all of youse have said. I'll be back in an hour or so.

And by the way, why hasn't anyone picked up on the comments I made about Kath????? I think my comments towards Diamond (however playful they were) pale in comparison with the others.

Because your statements about Kath are nonsense. There's nothing to say about them beyond that. That sort of thing is best ignored lest it detract from what's really going on. Are you intentionally trying to distract us?

Roa_Aoife · 03-27-2006, 10:55 PM

Double post, sorry.

Your comments towards Diamond18 are about the same, really. The only actual case you've given is that of Eonwe, and that hardly constitues a case. However, I am wondering myself what the deal is with looking at you and Diamond for "rivalry." It looks like standard Day 1 banter. What's the big deal with that? Mormegil, Glirdan, explain please.

Edit: Back in... 9-10 hours. Ish.

Alcarillo · 03-27-2006, 11:32 PM

Well, here I am, an hour later just as I promised. My mind has not changed, and I still think I'll vote for Farael. Oh, what the heck.

++Farael

Farael, if you turn out not to be a werecat, I'm sorry, but you're the most suspicious one out there right now.

Please note I've left the vote out of the quote... while it's misguided, I can see where Alcarillo is coming from.

What worries me is the apology. It's been said time and again that apologising innocents tend to be werewolves. It worries me, because more often than not it turns out not to be the case. Alcarillo's is the first vote by a relatively sane (assuming foolishness is a mental illness) person.... and I can see the pressure to issue an apology as, let's face it, he has nothing to go on with.

I don't expect to be lynched today, but should I be I want to issue a pardon towards Alcarillo. He (she?) has reasons to apologise for.

Of course, a pardon is not a "get out of jail free" card... just for the time being I'm saying that Alca's apology is reasonable.

Having gotten that out of the way, I'll continue to look at you all suspiciously.

By the way, how come no-one has made anything about my exchange with Glirdan?

I just had time to scan the situation here at school. I'll be able to post more substantially only in the evening (GMT).

But it's weird to see someone other than me being suspected at the beginning of the day 1...

Otherwise this seems as insane as ever. People jumping on each other look suspicious, as well as those who keep reminding others about their suspiciousness... Not to talk of those, who try to show some "voice of reason" in the midst. And loudmouths are especially suspicious, but so are the ones that try to fly under the radar... Nice game this.

Formendacil · 03-28-2006, 02:12 AM

I think, this game, that I shall try playing without actually reading anyone's posts...

I shall actively strive to die before Day 6.

I shall pull a Nilp...

++ Formendacil.

Ermm... that's not such a wise tactic I guess.

-- Formendacil

++ Eonwe

Not for any particular reason... I just have found him totally perplexing in past games, and I'd just as soon be rid of perplexing things: perplexing and I don't get along well.

One change of vote down, and four to go...

Oh, I'm having fun here. Never, in all my eight games, played a retractable votes game before!

Thinlómien · 03-28-2006, 04:25 AM

Form, please don't start that. Self-votersor wannabe-self-voters never achieve anything but causing confusion. I see you saw that yourself, but that was a stupid joke.

I remember saying just the same in Day one in one village long time ago to him. Anyway, I agree with Roa that though Eonwe acts susoiciously it doesn't mean it's sure he's a wolf; that just eonwesque behaviour. Of course he might be using that as a cover...

But I don't believe so. It's just a possibility we should acknowledge.

Day 1 is useless on Day 1. On further days, it might come in very useful. And it usually does.
