Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXI: Dueling Wizards Werewolf

[mormegil]

I meant to comment on Nilp but sadly I must commonly post in a piece-wise manner as I get interupted at work. However Nilp seems surprising insightful and helpful. Could this mark a change? I don't know how to feel about this but everything feels innocent.

Nor I and he becoming more and more innocent feeling with each post though I'm intrigued to here his fea EW theory.

I must stress however that because somebody feels innocent today does not mean that they will be tomorrow. This is a different dynamic and we all have a habit of thinking that because somebody is innocent at one point that continues...until the EW us rooted out we won't have any static condition.

Morm, think I'm the EW all you want, but there is no way I am being cursed as a wolf. My survival rate is pitiful. Choosing me as a wolf means choosing a dead wolf. The EW cannot afford to be stupid and picking me would be stupid.

I am, in all seriousness, alternating opinions every minute here. Here, I say "Fea's a wizard!" and there I say "That's crazy!"

But here goes:

I was first alerted to Fea's behaviour by her constant 'sighs' that she will get herself killed. It's there in posts #79, #83 and #87. "Oh, this strategy will get me killed!" But all she was doing is advocating killing those shady characters whom the village never trusts. Hardly an outrageous suggestion. It struck me as trying too hard to stay alive.

She is all about finding the EW. Now, this is a good idea; but her focus on this leads villagers to avert their gaze from her when doing this search. Yes, yes, this seems pretty ad hoc, but I noticed it. She's very vocal, taking it upon herself to find the EW.

#96 Brings up her point about the Wizard volunteers being those villagers with time to spare. No way could they be students with exams (because students are sooooo busy ). It just seems like a convoluted way to get people looking elsewhere for sorcery, and not at her.

And in that same post, the strangest one of all: She states, out of nowhere, that The Phantom is not the EW.

#226 Says it again (though it's only probable this time).

#230 Jests with The Phantom about being the EW, then adds in brackets that she's just kidding, or something.

#282 Again brings up that she hasn't the time, although she'd love to be the Wizard.

She also dismisses the hint I gave in #280 (I also gave my hint that Fea was a wizard in #98).

So, all in all, Fea is very eager to stay alive, wants us all to go out there and search for the EW, and is adamant that there is a good reason for her not to be the EW. Plus that Phantom-assertion made me a bit nervous.

I don't buy that whole 'busy' argument at all. Fea knows all about the glory of Werewolf. She'd relish the chance of being the first Wizard and you know it.

So you see, Fea, I have had my eye on you for a while.


And that, ladies and gentlemen, is possibly the worst theory you will hear all day.

Okay... my straight-forward response. All quotes by Aimè.

But all she was doing is advocating killing those shady characters whom the village never trusts.

It is common knowledge that I'm a shady character whom the village never trusts. While I don't want to die, I won't refrain from putting forth ideas or plans, even if they might lead to my death. I don't want anybody taken for granted. I want the village to win. If that means killing me, I'll be a martyr, but I'm not going to keep thoughts to myself for self-preservation. That's a wolvish tactic that I've never been good at.

She's very vocal, taking it upon herself to find the EW.

Of course I am. S/he's the most dangerous entity in this village. If we can find him and kill him early, we stand a far better chance of winning. Who wouldn't take it upon him or herself to do this?

No way could they be students with exams (because students are sooooo busy ).

I haven't got exams, ergo this is not a way of vindicating myself. I'm two weeks short of the end of a convoluted half-semester. I don't have finals. I have a creative writing portfolio to create and a book to write and put together. I'm busy, certainly, but it has nothing to do with tests.

And in that same post, the strangest one of all: She states, out of nowhere, that The Phantom is not the EW.

That's just logic. He likes to live long enough to have fun. He's also extremely well known. How many people, if they were the Seer, would dream of him first? *looks at all of the raised hands* Yeah. That's what I thought. He's brash, but he's not stupid. He'd never survive long enough to make it worth it.

#282 Again brings up that she hasn't the time, although she'd love to be the Wizard.

You said it yourself. I'd have relished the job. But I don't have time and I'm as well known as the phantom. Lorebooks say that the last game my ancestor was in had her dreamt of first night and killed forthwith. I tend to like living long enough to have some fun.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is possibly the worst theory you will hear all day.

Yeah, but it was cute.
