Tol-in-Gaurhoth L: Battle of the Fandoms

[Boromir88]

Brinn - I still think her comments were strange, but apparently I'm the only one. So, yeah...~Mac

I'll give you the wording of "lynch candidate," sounds like she's Rikae's executioner or something. But Brin has this "I really don't care what I say, and I don't care how people interpret what I say, so I'm just going to say what I want..." That is more consistent with an innocent, as someone with something to hide typically is a little more cautious.

A case? I just pointed out a few lines that I thought looked fishy, especially since they were the only lines of everybody that seemed fishy to me at the time. Knowing you wouldn't be around at the deadline is certainly no reason not to.

True, if you're innocent and got something to say, then say it, whether the person will be around for the deadline or not. However, whether you want to admit it or not, it was a case against Brin. A flimsy one, with some comments about a few lines (what does anyone expect from Day 1?), but it was a case nevertheless; just like the "cases" I will establish...right now.

Nogrod, get's .5 of a point for assuming I'd do something as an innocent, and that assumption is, well, wrong. And 1 point for his reaction to Mith saying his posting was a "worrying sign."

but making it conveniently just after Boro had called my name, looks interesting as well. Not impossibly ordo-Mith-like but not too reassuring either.

I looked Mith and my posts are 4 minutes apart. Now Mith's post is short, but I wouldn't throw out the possibility of a cross posting. (I don't always go back and edit to say who I crossed with). So, Mith, perhaps you would be kind to share...and be honest?

Nogrod: 1.5 points

Gwath, calm, reasonable, his thoughts are sound analysis. Certainly possible for a wolf, but that provides no reason to find him suspicious on Day 1. 0 Points.

Rikae, .5 point for joining the suspicions against me. .5 a point for telling Mac she noticed the same thing about Brin's remarks. -.5 for the sincerity here:

He's too clever to obviously slip up, though, so hunches may be what it takes to catch a Boro-wolf.

Now who's the flatterer? But seriously, you admit it's a hunch, I again commend you for that.

Rikae: .5 points

Nerwen, 1 point for hiding behind the character while saying who's suspicious.

Shasta, 1 point for hiding behind the vow of revenge. .5 point for what I see as a throw away vote. 1.5 points.

Lalwende, 1 point for posting and being present, yet not giving us any sort of depth as far as her thoughts. Seems like she's got an evil secret to hide. 1 point for being careful and staying out of any sort of confrontation. .5 for referring to me as fishy, then claiming:

Boromir88 - No

Lalwende: 2.5 points

Based on this study, which holds absolutely no biases -

Lalwende
Nogrod
Shasta

and based on no study, but a gut reaction -

Yes. That was a cross post - I didn't flag it because I didn't think it was relevant. I appreciate that Nogrod is likely to be paranoid about me but that post was more about my opposition to GMO in my youth than the game. I know next to nothing about SciFi / Fantasy other than Tolkien but I do have a layman's interest in genetics.

[Boromir88]

Because I have enough faith in his ability to figure out why, and because there's always a really great chance that I'm right.~Fea

Because you're not satisfied until I'm dead, and even when the narrator reveals I'm innocent, you still think it was a conspiracy and I was evil all along?

[Mithalwen]

For what it's worth I think Boro may be having too much fun to be a wolf - I think he might be a bit more restrained. Be a shame to lose someone who is talking though.

He could be the cobbler though or simply being an agent provacateur. Fea is playing the Phantom. Need to have another through and see if there are no IC posts from Lal et alia

I don't think he's the wolf because he's all over the place and not really following any scent trails. So is Rikae. So is Nogrod.

I can't make you out this time, though that does lead me to think you might have a special role

[Boromir88]

This is normally the point where I would start suspecting you for buttering up to me, but I know if you truly were a wolf you would be 100% taking advantage of this oppurtunity to lynch me right now.

Edit: crossed with Lal...now would she defend me if she was a wolf, or seize the oppurtunity to lynch me now? hmm...

[Durelin]

Going by 'Downs time, so you have a bit more time.

About 15-16 minutes more I think...

[Boromir88]

Mith: it is already clear that I read your post back there the wrong way as you suspecting me. So why are you coming back to it the second time?~Nogrod

Because I asked her.

[Macalaure]

I'll re-revise my opinion on Boro: I think he's innocent.

McCaber seems more or less fine.

Nogrod... a slight furry feeling about him now, but can't point to it. Then again, I always have a slight furry feeling about him, so maybe it's nothing. Certainly not enough to justify a vote. Interesting points on Gwath.

Sally seems more innocentish than before.

Ah, good.

[Isabellkya]

I hadn't really noticed the difference between Downs time and my clock time before. xD

It could definately be a cover, since people have mentioned they should listen to Shasta more; could be a good opening for a Wolfie bandwagon to follow. But, I would like to say he wouldn't be that risky on Day one - but I was just evil with him on another forum and had to slap his hand from making rash decisions. xD
I am off now..so, I suppose this is a throw away vote at best..

++CoD



X'd since Lalwende's 94

Oh blimey now I am creeped - I was thinking this afternoon you might be guilty because you hadn't accused me of sucking up to you ..though of course I hadn't said I thought you were innocent at that point....

[Kath]

Oops, I forgot we were going by 'Downs time. Could have spent more time on that. Might go back and have a look at the whole Boro thing.

Nope, nothing shady there, you really are just all over the shop.

[Brinniel]

Am I overapologising? Hmm...well, I guess I kinda am. But I'm only putting a half-hearted effort into toDay (I can't help it, I'm sleepy) and I feel bad when I don't give 100%. Btw, that "sorry mate" comment when I voted Mac was supposed to be in-character. I was in a rush so I don't think I made it clear.

My apologies. I mean, sorr...oh crap...I'm doing it again.

I don't know why everyone finds Boromir so suspicious. He's making the most sense out of everyone...doesn't mean he's necessarily innocent, but I think lynching him on Day 1 would be a mistake.

I think Nogrod might be reading too much into Gwath's statements...

EDIT: X-ed with a million-gazillion posts...

[Brinniel]

Just checking in to say I'm back...I know I made a big deal about how I wouldn't be here for deadline and I honestly thought I wouldn't. But my teacher let us out of class a whole whopping hour and a half early (it's a 4 hour class).

I figured being the first day I'd get out of class a little early, but was definitely not expecting that early. Maybe I should've taken the risk and not voted at all...but knowing how my luck goes, if I had done that I wouldn't have been back before deadline.

Okay, I still need to go back and catch up on what I missed. Then I'll see if I can contribute anything before deadline.

[Nogrod]

Mith: it is already clear that I read your post back there the wrong way as you suspecting me. So why are you coming back to it the second time?

And anyway. That was early in the Day with about twenty posts made in total (almost everyone of them being only joking & banter). I think both you Mith (explaining your post many times) and Boro (making that "empirical device" where you consider I'm one who suspects you) are making a mountain out of a molehill here. (Yes Mith, I didn't consider your posts as cross-posts and that was my carelessness not to look at the timestamps and think about the possibility. Yes.)

But your posts were the only ones there was anything even remotely looking like saying something that gets the game forwards at that point of the game. Now after people have contributed more there clearly are better points to be made - and it was obvious back then in the beginning of the Day. But your insistence on coming back to those early hour "suspicions" doesn't make me too happy about you two.

But I'm even more unhappy with those who just fly straight through the banter-radar or under any radar just not appearing or not contributing.

And I have a battle with myself about Gwath. He looks wolvish to me and I think I have plausible reasons and so I should trust my own judgement. But I've been wrong with him so many times... Unless there is a "submarine" we can agree on or any better cases to come forwards, or if I have to try and save someone I think is clearly less guilty than someone else, I'm considering of voting Gwath.

EDIT: X'd from Sally
EDIT2: ... oops... from Boro...

Becasue I was answering a direct question, from Boromir with whom I am not in league. I was right about that paranoia.....

Were you? How do you know?

Okay. Don't answer. We have more important things to do...

[Mithalwen]

I do I am not sure about you - I quoted Boromir's question. You seem to be filibustering Mr....Cobbler?

[Nogrod]

Fili... what? Sorry. I need a dictionary... and a cigarette anyway.

Gwath anyone?

Boro, CoD & Brinn on two now. Of those I'd say Brinn might be the best choice but CoD has been annoying. Boro I wouldn't lynch on Day1 for being himself.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Mith - It was a cover. I do actually think he's suspicious, but haven't had time to elaborate on why. I've applied for a Time-Turner to help get me through all my classes, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Although I must admit, being able to vote Boro is rather sweetly ironic. Boro, if you and I both live through the night, hopefully since it's the weekend I'll be able to explain why I voted you in more detail.
