Weres of Eire: Game Thread

[The Saucepan Man]

I have completed my reading. Take heed, for the cards never lie (though they can be darned difficult to read at times).

Lommy - The Magician - Hmm, could indicate power and confidence, but could also indicate trickery and deception. One to watch.

Nogrod - Justice - Truth, integrity and fairness, But the negative connotations are bad advice and bias, bringing injustice. Probably innocent, but may be misguided at times.

Menel - The Hermit - Tends to suggest that he will be absent, at least for the first Day or so.

Isabellkya - The Hanged Man - Flexible and free-thinking, but possibly easily influenced. Most likely innocent.

Rikae - The Lovers - Indicates the beginning of a relationship, but there is some separation in the context of our current situation. No idea what that means.

Brinniel - The Heirophant - Wise counsel and spiritual consolation, but wisdom might also be exercised deviously to cause confusion. Possibly the cobbler.

Kath - The Emperor - Indicates power, which might be exercised either beneficially for the good of the camp or tyrannically, to its detriment. Again, one to watch.

Durelin - The Fool - Joy and spontaneity combined with naivety and irresponsibility. Most likely innocent, but will be on completely the wrong track for most of the game.

Eomer/Cailin - The World - Success and completion, tempered by impatience and delays. We would do well to trust our doughty warrior.

Esspiem - Temperance - Harmony and moderation, but could spill over into anger and lack of self-control. Indicates that I am quite clearly an innocent Irelander, but will get annoyed if unjustly accused.

Based on this, I believe that the evil spirits among us may be found in:

Lommy
Kath
and
Brinniel

[Kath]

Hey not so many posts to slog through as usual, now that's nice. I'm just popping in quickly at the moment as I'm about 5 minutes away from setting off for Guildford and I don't know how long it's going to take me to get access to the net up there. Hoepfully it won't take long and I will see you all soon.

This is not going well at all: my main suspects (if they can really be called that as no one in this village seems very suspicious) are Eomer(and his other half) and Sauce. Sounds all too familiar...

Cailomer seems to accuse Brinn a bit too swiftly. That's the concrete thing in them that makes me suspicious. As to other suspicious things... it's something in their air... oh, drat it, it must be that avvie... ...

Sauce then. He's a bit too agreeable for himself () and his suspicions of Kath even though she hadn't posted a single post when he phrased his doubts seemed quite weird. Granted, it looks like banter and probably is that, but it certainly doesn't make me trust SPM...

Sorry for being a bit vague, but it was more the overall phrasing than any certain word that made me think that way. But I guess I might be able to find some passages that suggest that...
Well the "several" SPM mentioned refers (in my opinion) more than two people, but of course we can't discount the gifteds of being included in that several.

This just sounds like the boy was speaking of more than two people. Maybe it's just me, but I see "some" rather referring to three or four (I'm not suggesting we have four wolves, though ) people than to two.
Well of course I might be wrong here and I don't know which other word than "some" one could use when speaking about two people in a context like this, but... *sigh* I guess you can interpret these things in any/ either way so it actually seems quite useless to speculate about it. Maybe the nightly narration will reveal something. But as I said, it's wiser to over-estimate than under-estimate their numbers, so let's think (or I will think that way, anyway) that there's three of them as long as we don't have any evidence that contradicts that presumption.

[Nogrod]

With a quick glance I must say that the only thing that even somehow raises eyebrows right now is the fact that both Cailomer and Spm seem to have veiled themselves behind roles of sorts. I don't know what to say of it though - and because they make quite amusing posts I would be very unhappy to see either of them lynched on Day1 just because of that.

I think also that we need to be aware not to direct all our attention and / or suspicion over exactly those people who look like ones we could easily turn to - even if it is the easiest way for any individual in the confusion and guessing on Day1. It has many times resulted in hasty bandwaggon-lynching of an innocent with the negative effect that the baddies can safely ride with the tide and get lost in the crowd.

I will be back and be more active in an hour or two.

Only Menel and Rikae yet to post (and well Kath's wasn't actually a post I'd say). I hope all the people get more involved as the "evening" draws near.

[The Saucepan Man]

Aha! Thank you, Mistress Lommy, for your most revealing contribution. You are clearly up to no good. So without further ado ...

++THINLOMIEN

The cards never fail me. Gotcha, my dear!

[Nogrod]

One should always read the admin thread before starting to play...

Both Cailmer and Spm had decided on having roles already before the game-roles were dealed so them being in a role-mode is no reason for me to raise my eyebrows anymore.

My bad.


Other things of interest: Menel will be back only on Monday, Rikae has been around four days ago the last time which raises the question whether she knows the game is on in the first place.

I wouldn't suggest lynching either of them because of that. At least yet.


Also, the ruling about two or more people reaching the same number of votes has been changed. So no longer will it be a randomized choice but a double-lynch (triple-, quadruple- etc.) is possible.

We should think about using that possibility at some point, for instance getting rid of possible silent timebombs. But I'd say not toDay.

[Brinniel]

The thing about in-character roles is that I always find it so easy for a baddie to hide within such a role. But obviously, we cannot make suspicions based on that alone.

Cailomer's post doesn't really have any content aside from in-character behaviour...so I can't formulate anything just yet. Personally, I would like to hear from the other half and see if I can catch any hints towards innocence or guilt from the she-side, but I don't know how long we'd have to wait for that...

I find it odd that SPM places Kath in the suspicious category before she even has the chance to speak. And his vote for Lommy...I cannot see a good reason behind it. Perhaps he could give us more explanation...

I thought it's been changed the other way around and that it's now randomizer and no multiple lynchings due to our small number..

First Days are always difficult...and I must vote in less than an hour. Please people, speak up now! Making these decisions are so much harder when everyone is so quiet.
