And now she's back again.

Of course whether I'm back or not, it remains a Day One, which means there's absolutely no factual evidence for the village to go on. There may be hypotheses, but there can be no legitimate testing right now, only planning and identification of variables, and so answers, while they may be fair assumptions, cannot be seen as legitimate theories, and certainly not as laws.

Nah.

If I was a Critic and had an inkling who the Lovers were, they'd be dead. Immediately. At this point in the game odds are if they take revenge they will slay an Innocent. Leave them alive, however, and the Critics are in a heap of trouble. Say there are seven singers left in the competition- two critics, the lovers, and three Ordos.

The Lovers reveal. Suddenly the three Ordos each have a 50% shot at voting for a Werewolf. And if the Wolves kill one of the Lovers at Night, odds are that the revenge slaying will be accurate.

So yeah- the Critics want the Lovers gone right away. They are dangerous to them late in the game.

So, after reading all of these posts and after having way to much of a silent laugh to myself today in History of England when my professor mentioned the Barrow-Downs, I have come to the conclusion that this a seriously more active game than the one that I played before.

So half of what I was going to say is stupid. Pretty much saying that the diva/o should keep quiet and they are in the worst place playerwise if they wolves try to kill them and they live. Then the wolves know who they are and so on.

I do agree with the phantom about the cobbler being dangerous. It does seem like they have a lot of power. Though I'm not sure if I trust that much of what he says because of all of the things I've heard about him, even from just this game. But if I'm going by that logic, I should trust none of you.

On the plus side TGWBS is very entertaining and should really not be lynched.

I propose that the role of "divo" be called Devo instead.

Oh, the game has started already... for some reason I thought it would start tomorrow.

I cannot see any reason why you would want to do that.

I'm tempted to write a whole paragraph about our roles-setup, and what individuals are most dangerous to us / the critics - especially since I disagree with half of what has been said about it so far - but I decided to let the critics figure it out themselves.

So, yeah... all I can add is that I have reason to believe that the phantom is not evil. I also think I can trust Ilya.

I don't trust Menel and Rikae told me to that Aganzir is maybe not trustworthy.

So you don't trust me, Mac? Understandable, considering it's Day One and the bad guys are tough to find, but is there anything in particular that you found odd?

Oh, and don't suspect me based on the fact that I'm a Nazgul. I just happened to find this ring in a Cracker Jack box. How was I supposed to know it was one of the Nine?

Yes, we are a noisy bunch. Just check out Fea's last game and see how loud we got. But that's what makes it so much fun.

Speaking of noise, I'm being way too quiet. I've actually been around for awhile but was distracted. Then I got a headache and didn't feel like posting. At the moment there's really not much I have to say...except that you all continue to amuse me.

It doesn't seem any serious suspecting has gone on yet...then again it's still fairly early for Day One. But I probably should get down to business. While I won't have to vote until shortly before deadline, I won't exactly have a lot of time to analyse my choices. So I'll be sure to take a closer look at everyone at some point tonight. But not now. It's too early. Because I'm a night owl...which means I'll be more focused in a few hours.

So before I go, let me part with a random song.

<Insert opera music>

Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Souris à nos ivresses,
Nuit plus douce que le jour,
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Ah! Souris à nos ivresses!
Nuit d'amour, ô nuit d'amour!


<End opera music>

3 pages already? I haven't even read one!

Well, this is my daily post. Enjoy, everyone.

Evil:

Maybe Bowie... I just have this horrible suspicion of him. Nothing definite, though.

Innocent:

I'm pretty sure Gollum is. A wonderful atmosphere of peace and friendliness surrounds him!

No, no, I'm not saying I'm a Werewolf. But that doesn't mean I won't choose the kills. Through the careful planting of ideas and the use of clever manipulation, I shall determine who the Critics select at Night.

*whispers to Werewolves* You want to kill Nog, you want to kill Nog....
