Legolas in spandex has just left Hobbiton.
If it wasn't obvious, my vote was in my last post. I think the name was Diamond .

Legolas,
Why are you voting for Diamond? Can you have posts thatare more than a sentence? We need reasoned argumentments, not random statements. Try to be useful to the village.

Roa, please edit out your comment to avoid confusion.

Legolas, I apologise. Most of the people here have either played on another Werewolf game or watched another one developing. I, being both busy and lazy, decided not to post the complete set of rules but perhaps I should have. In order to vote, you should do it, as Roa said, in a separate line, bold the name and precede it by two pluses, such as this

++SaucepanMan

Roa, I'm still thinking whether or not letting you use some other player's name is "fairplay" as it might be hinting at something. I'll let it go this time, but PLEASE, EVERYONE..... I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP, BUT LET ME DO THE MODDING.

Any questions or any heads-up can be dealt with via PM, but to ensure a fair and fun game I'll mod and you guys play.

Sorry, Farael. The only reason I used Diamond's name is because that's who LiS said she wanted to vote for. I'll stop doing your job now.

Probable innocent:
Caranlondien
Nogrod
Diamond
Dancing Spawn

I want to include the following as innocents, but don't have have enough to convince me to move them up yet:

Grendelien
JennyHallu
Kitanna


Possibly suspicious, but unsure:

Zali
Roa_Aoife

Really, really don't know:
Naria
Sleepy
Legolas in spandex
Findëasëa

And I know I'm...ordinary.

I'm either going to have to vote in the next 1.5 hours or very close (possibly pushing) the deadline. And ugh, I'm not sure what to do. I'm used to figuring out wolves based on their kill, but the save (as grateful as I am for it since it bought us at least one extra day to debate) has thrown me off.

.

Roa, sure it is perfectly reasonable. At the time, however I had no reason to think that she was going to "save" her analyses till later on. There was no mention in her player-by-player post that she had intentions in doing so. Alas, I am not a mind reader and did not know that she had these intentions. However, when Diamond did do her thoughts it became alot more helpful. As I am not an analytical person myself; I do rely on people's thoughts on each matter. That is where I am able to weed out the suspicious from non-suspicious people.


That being said these are the people as of now that I find suspicious.

Caran-I don't really know how to explain it, she seems to be not playing the same way that she normally does(her "weeding" out techniques and fairly knowledgeable) Maybe her brother isn't helping her out as much with this game , but I can't be sure if that is the case or she's an Orc trying to figure things out.

Spawn-Mostly from the analyses done on her and Nogrod's points about her. However, this probably isn't the best thing to do either. But I have to trust someone and it happens to be him(for now).

Sleepy-Yes, he was being goofy the first Day. I just don't like the way that he has chosen to play in this game so far. I know that he can be a better contributor than he has been. It just make me uneasy, knowing that someone can and has played better and he isn't(so far).

So, this is it for toDay. I will have to vote for one of these three and fairly soon(in the next hour or so). I have family that has come in from another province and I will be away from my computer until tomorrow sometime.

Yes, I agree, and also, Legolas, you posted that your vote was for Diamond, and was located within your last post. Your last post was this:

Quote:
I guess she is a bit peculiar. I posted. Dunno if I'm too late.
Assuming you didn't delete the post in question, there's something that needs to be explained.

When you're voting, you need to put the person's name behind two plus signs, and leave that in its own line. Like this:

++your vote's name here

Except that you need to put it in bold face, which I didn't do here, in order not to generate confusion about was my vote example actually real.

You also need to give some explanation, preferably with examples or some other kind of evidence in order to back up your vote (otherwise, people just think you're suspicious).

For instance, here's some suspicion for you right now. Your behavior sends up some red flags, Legolas. One-liner posts are not particularly helpful. They don't do much to further the rest of the group's understanding of you. Voting without proof or explanation of any kind is to be suspected, so be careful. So I'm going to help you out here: Why do you suspect Diamond? Can you give us any examples of her behavior that sent up red flags for you?

Please don't take this post as a personal attack. I know you're new at this, and that you were confused yesterDay, so I'm trying to help you out. I'm willing to cut you some slack, depending on how you play for today, but it may not last.
