Werewolf XXXI: The Unknown Enemies

[The Sixth Wizard]

Well hello fellow Were-wolvers! I am back once again a mere hour past the switch...

Hark! A voice of reason!

...Glirdan: I don't like "retaliatory" voting at all and think it's a safe position to the wolves to hide as many tend to "understand" that kind of thing. But in the end - thinking of the cause of the villagers - it's pretty counter-productive as a villager should only try to get the wolves, not to retaliate....

...tgwbs: This I find somewhat suspicious or at least unnerving. He had time to play and took actively part in it but then decided to go for his first suspicion (quite weakly built case - and if one thinks of it - not an obvious choise of an innocent villager). Sad to say, but in the last game he was voting in a similar-feeling detached manner. I suspected him of that then and he turned out to be a wolf. . .

Speaking of shorty , we should probably now suspect those who were kinda agreeing with Glirdan. Reading back over the posts:

I don't think Thinlomien was using some wolf kill wolf strategy. I think that might just be a bit too open on the first day. Just my opinion.

TGWBS was suspicious against Lommy and Lommy was anti-Glirdan. Plus he was suspicious about me! (the nerve ) He then has a go at Mac, and Roa (innocents I think), and proceeds to vote for Lommy. I am pretty sure he's a werewolf, myself.

Legate probably not. But he does say TGWBS is honest, which I am sure he is not.

Gil-galad voted for Lommy but I don't think he's a werewolf.

Mithalwen seems to be one of the good guys. So's Roa.

Brinniel: I think this might be our wolf. In a vote for Roa maybe she's trying to take some of the heat off Glirdan. That's not very concealed, but it's her second game...

Nogrod, good guys. Rather a voice of reason. Gifted?

As you can see I am a great Thinlomien supporter I'm afraid.


So my opinions are that TGWBS, Legate(?) and Brin are the most likely in my mind to be werewolves at this stage in the game.

...I'm startlingly confused.

So, TGWBS sounds dangerous. Who's Lommy? Is that the Thin-something-or-another-with-non-English-characters-thrown-in guy? Wow, I'm confused...

I think I'll probably vote for TGWBS, another individual with whom I'm not familiar, but not immediately, in case something new comes up.

Which one - GG or Lommy?

Sorry, Lommy = Thinlomien and I meant Gil-Galad

After voting Roa yesterday, I ended up kicking myself...hard. Yes, she was the most suspicious for me at the time, but after I posted, I realized how dumb and suspicious I was making myself look with a throwaway vote. My second choice probably would've been to vote Glirdan, and while I still thought him innocent then, I would've rather had him lynched than possibly innocent Lommy and tgwbs, who both could be very helpful if they are on our side. Yet, I already said I wouldn't vote Glirdan and I don't like changing my word without a good enough reason.

When I first started ww, I thought I'd be so good at sniffing out the wolves...how wrong I was. Glirdan reminded me of Manwe from the last game, who turned out innocent. I honestly did not think a werewolf would act so obviously suspicious. Apparently, I'm quite terrible at this...

Anyways, the lynching of a werewolf Glirdan, has indeed helped me come up with some thoughts:

Mac stated this early on in response to Legate:

There are more stupid wolves than one might think

His comment points out that there are in fact wolves who do put out an odd behaviour and act suspicious. At a time when Glirdan was acting so obviously suspicious, I don't think a fellow wolf would point that out. This makes Mac seem more innocent to me.

Lommy was the first to vote for Glirdan, not followed long after by Sixth. While both had no choice but to vote earlier on, I do not think either would pull a wolf on wolf vote so early in the game when no one else has even voted. I feel pretty sure both are innocent. Of course, I've been pretty off so far, so who knows...

Yesterday, I felt pretty suspicious about Roa, but now I know that Glirdan was a werewolf, I think my suspicions were quite misguided. Early on, there was a misunderstanding between the two where Glirdan jumps on Roa, and Roa retaliates. Now, of course misunderstandings can happen between wolves, most certainly to misguide us innocents, but I do not think they would attempt this within the first few posts of Day One. Glirdan's attitude towards Roa and vice versa makes me think her much less suspicious than before, and unless something dramatically changes toDay, I do not think I will vote for her again for now.

Later, I will go back and look through yesterDay's posts and look for suspicious players.

Well, we're down one wolf...two more to go? Ah..that's the difficult thing about these mystery roles. Boy, will we be lucky if we catch another toDay. Already, I see the suspicions towards me coming, and so in my defense, I will honestly state that Day One was a completely misguided Day for me. Do not take my stupidity and poor judgements for werewolfery. And hopefully toDay I will be slightly (or rather, a lot) more accurate in figuring out who the werewolf might be...
