Gaaaa! Wait, Volo saying it's possible that he himself is a Wolf?

Well, that and his Ka-vote on Day One... He's definitely being quite the oddball this time, and I don't exactly know why.

Are the votes retractable, by any chance?

No, they're not.

Now I have to think what this means.

Is Volo just being weird again for the hell of it? Did he accidentally confess to being a wolf? Did he intentionally confess? If he's a wolf, does that mean I was right about Volo-Mac-Durelin, or is he doing what Rikae did last game and fake-defending them?

Anyway–

++Volo.

I can't let that go.

EDIT: fixed bolding.

*sigh* The sauna was messed up and although I'm pessimistic about this game, I'm here again.

Really, you aren't being helpful, Nerwen and even more, Menel. Of course I don't claim myself to be a Wolf. Is there any possible reason for doing so? Sure it is possible, I have just as big a chance of becoming a Wolf as any. Then again, I might say that everything is possible, and only possible, but inevitable. But that would be already physics and not WW.

Menel, you're being such a submarine... I can't imagine that you're Innocent and that uninterested.

Lommy's Macalysis is funny, she feels both defencive, appologetic and actually says more things that refer to Mac's Innocense than guilt. Oh well.


EDIT: Xd with everything since #348.

Nerwen, you talk such nonsense that I will be offended if you're not a Wolf.

Oh well, there's no other option. No way can anybody but Mac be lynched toDay. Might as well be him, although this is such a mess that anybody here can be a Wolf.

Do remind me not to join games without Gifteds in the future, this is depressing.

Actually, though, I suppose I could see Volo saying what he said innocently (from the perspective of the rest of the village). Bah.

Yes, but from your perspective it is still just as possible, unless you're a Wolf. *shrug*

Making a slip in a situation like that would need something even I don't posess.

1) One could have misread the three names, not noticing his own name.

2) One might have tried to say that, of course, the combination is possible and the only way to prove it otherwise to everyone is for one of the players to die.

3) It could have been an intentional revelation, but why so vague and why did the person then deny it as soon as he was asked.

4) It could have been a slip. The person automatically connected his own name to a Wolf. This would need the person to go out of himself and look at the game from a perspective of a mod, or something. Not only! That would also mean that the two other players (Durelin and Mac) are Wolves, because otherwise it can't be a slip because the player doesn't know the roles of the other players.

I must say that we encountered a rather amusing half-a-paradox.

Yes, Volo, I see what you mean. In the absence of a Seer, every little comment can be jumped on for maximum value due to us having no solid leads.

EDIT: X-posted with Mac.

I believe Volo's was a killing vote.

Mac, seems you just died. Are you a wolf?

I fear not– that last post of Volo's looks awfully gloating.

I believe Mac has 5 votes and Volo one, with four players left to vote... so if they're all around,.... "it's possible"... Volo could be lynched.

Oh but that it is! I just managed to prove that I'm right and it couldn't have been an unintential slip.

*phew*

Huh, I'm back. This is nerve-wrecking.

Volo is very confusing. What is this Nerwen-obsession of his? I can't follow his logic on people's attitude about her at all (the more you suspect Nerwen the more innocent you look). I would like an explanation from him before I conclude on whether it's wolvish or merely odd.

Lommy's frequent repetition of her playing style bothers me, but otherwise she looks genuine. "I only behave like this when I'm innocent, therefore I can't be a wolf" is not what I'd call a valid argument. It's ok if you say it once or so, but Lommy has been repeating it more than is necessary (I'm not sure whether that argument is ever necessary).

I'm now more convinced than ever that Mac is a wolf. Therefore,

++Mac

Sorry to have been so uncontributing toDay. I promise to be more active toMorrow.


EDIT: x-ed with everything on this page

This is so hilarious.

Five people have voted and four would already like to retract.
