Or I could be alluding to something else there. And you're partially Sagittarius too. So are you partially evil?

I also I wanted to lynch Frodo the first Day so we didn't end up in a situation like this toDay. We have two know wolves, one dead one on her way to being lynched, and then two more. If we knew who Frodo was then either the Ranger could have protected or could have been lynched and then we could have only one wolf to find soon.

On day 1 Lari considered voting me ("she will never trust me again")
You admitted that yourself

Quote:
So what reasons were you talking about, Lari?
And they were the ones listed. I got slammed last game for repeating what had been said so I was trying not to do the same thing. And I didn't mean to forget Brinn. To be quiet honest I think I just forgot when copying down names or accedentally deleted her name. I'm surprised no one picked up on that till yesterDay.


As for the Day 2 vote, I honestly flipped a coin because I had nothing more to go on. I had no idea that anyone else would follow me. I really honestly just made up a reason to try to justify my (again) throw away vote. It was the most creative thing I could come up with. I'm also rather sick of trying to defend the vote.



Quote:
Also, Lari suggested me & Lommy's quarrel could be a way to cover our wolfishness. It wasn't, it's just us playing together (luckily our brawls never affect our RL relationship - we are friends again once we log out).
I realize, I also thought that it could be a good way for two wraiths/wolves to make sure that they were not associated with each other. To me, it seemed odd. Even with the explination.

Quote:
In #563 she listed who she could vote for - Fea, Rune, and Mac.
And take a good look at my reasons for Fea. And by the end of the Day Fea didn't seem guilty. Again, by her own admission and action before, she tends to give it all up when she is guilty. Like last game. She still maintained that she was innocent the whole time though. So I was trying to come up with someone else to vote for because I really didn't think she was guilty by then and, yes, at the beginning of the Day she did seem very guilty.


As for the lack of posts: I've had a lot of other work to do and have been tired. I really haven't had the energy/time to do more than skim. Yesterday I was pretty much either in class or at stupid convocation.

We know Mac is innocent because Lommy dreamed him innocent. That's what I meant.

Also, everyone seems to be saying I'm flip flopping. Maybe because its really hard playing an innocent.

EDIT: X-posted with Legate and Sally. And Miri is going to kill me for my hysterical laughing now.

But I didn't say it probably reveals a lot about me. And yes you could but why say it aloud in the first place if it also has an in-game meaning an innocent wouldn't want to be associated to?

But why would xe have had to be lynched? Why couldn't we have let xem live once xe had revealed - it would have given us a known innocent, and if xe was turned, we could have lynched xem immediately.
Threatening the RB with lynching if xe revealed was not very helpful for the village. It gave xem two options: either to reveal & die or stay quiet & be turned at some point. That's what a wolf would want xem to do.

Quote:

Yeah I was just listing your reasons.

Quote:
And they were the ones listed.
But many things had been said about her yet there was nothing very clear. Were you suspicious of her voting me, like Shasta was?
Also, you kind of deny being responsible for your suspicions by saying it was just what others had said earlier.

Quote:
We know Mac is innocent because Lommy dreamed him innocent. That's what I meant.
But you seemed not to be sure which one of the seers was telling the truth, yet you trusted Lommy's claim of Mac's innocence.
Hmm actually you called also Rune a known dead innocent. So if you're a wolf/RB and they aren't (well at least Mac isn't), you knew they were innocent, and slipped that you knew it.
That's the Mac slip.

10001 ways to kill Sally, part the sixth

Sally: Whew, that was a close one! At least I got the seer!

Shirriff : Where do you think you're going, Silly?

Sally : I'm going to go put this Morgul Blade in my safe-deposit box.

Shirriff : Oh really? I know a really safe locker you could put it in...
Davey Jones' Locker!!! Hand over your sword.

Sally : Uh-oh.

The scene shifts with both of them on the walkway in the middle of the
village. A large rock is tied down with a rope to Sally's feet, as it appears
that the shirriff wants to drown her in the sea.

Shirriff : This is the end of the road, my little robed pal. Your
troublemaking days in Bree™ are over. My plans for the
Mayor are far too important... ...and much too near
completion... ...to rish letting a would-be Nazgul like you get in
the way. So long, Miss stansusedshipyard, or satonaleopard, or whatever your name is.

The Shirriff kicks the idol down, and Sally is pulled down into the sea.
Shirriff : Hmmm... This might actually turn out to be a pretty good day.
(leaves)

Down the sea, Sally survives thanks to his ability to hold his breath for
10 minutes. However, she is tied with short rope as not to be able to pick up
the pair of scissors, rusty knife, sword, or other dangerous objects nearby her that may be of use to cut off the tie and save herself.

Sally : I can't reach that from here.

After a while, two villagers come and talk to each other on the walkway above
Sally.

Rune : Hey, Nerwen, I just committed a felony!

Nerwen : Did it involve that big knife you've got there?

Rune : Yeah! What should I do with it?

Nerwen : Get rid of it!

Rune : I'll throw it in the water!

Nerwen : No, don't do that!

Rune : Why not? I need to ditch it!

Nerwen : It might wash up somewhere!

Rune : What do I care? MY prints won't be on it! I'm throwing it in!
(a brief pause) ...naaaah. I might need it. See you.

Nerwen : See you.

The two villagers leave. After some quite long while...

Sally : Gee, I don't know how much longer I can hold my breath...

After ten minutes have elapsed, Sally goes blue, then green, and floats (the large, but not too large, rock which she could have picked up at any time, keeping her from reaching the surface). Possible actions include, but are not limited to, "Float," "Bob," "Duck," and "Buy Hint Book."

This is the lesson you've been taught — Guybrush Threepwood you are not. When by water you are surrounded -- Get to shore before you're drownded

I think it's quite late. I will leave you.

All I could say now, I have said in my previous posts.

I probably don't have anything more to add...

Hopefully further, it will be better...

Good night, Bree. Good night, Sally. Tra-la-la-lally, let's kill the Sally...

At the time he was also listing the characteristics and what each sign meant.

It was not that it was more her first post I didn't like and Nog's comment about her statement your vote that had me suspicious. Both of those things, and since both were mentioned I thought that was the best way to put it. And what Miri said.

And Sally left out Lommy in her list on Day 1. I wasn't the only one.

Quote:

That's the Mac slip.
Ok the Rune thing was my bad. I thought I saw that both of them listed known innocents(dead) and went with it. I wasn't reading carefully. I admit it. And I guess I trusted Lommy more. I really don't know why, considering what I thought before but I think it was along the lines of "well, her revel was first and it sort of makes a lot of sense".

I forgot to respond to my vote of Sally even after people thought about Brinn: I just needed to vote and sleep. That's all.

A Song for Rune

Hey Rune, don't make it bad.
Cast a self vote and make it better.
Remember to let them rip out your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Rune, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and lynch her.
The minute you let them rip off your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you break the pact, hey Rune, retract,
Don't carry the world upon your paws, dear.
For well you know that it's a dork who plays with forks
By making his world a bit more severe.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Rune....

Hey Rune, don't let me down.
You've found the ranger, now go get her.
Remember to rip her up like Lom,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Rune, begin,
You're waiting for someone to slay them with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Rune, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Rune....

Hey Rune, don't make it bad.
Take a lost cause and make it better.
Remember to keep away from the lynch,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Rune....

Well, I've finished my chart. Not sure how useful it is, but I've attached it if anyone cares to have a look. Basically, I went through all the posts looking for things Sally and Brinn said about everyone and vice versa suggesting that person was not a wolf (or, in Mac's case, that he was or was not a cobbler). I put the post numbers in the chart (many of these have been mentioned by others, but I wanted a handy reference - I was looking for strong suspicions of an endangered wolf (or possible wolf) mostly, and also such things as forgetting someone. I didn't look for "wolfish" things because those are too often misleading, in my experience.

I also listed everyone's votes for the first three days and their stance on various controversial issues that have arisen over the course of the game.

My conclusions (as far as the old wraith goes):
RED:
Mira - has nothing standing against her being a wraith, plus a suspicious-looking vote on Day 2 speaking against her. She and the known wolves pretty much ignored each other. Could well be a flying-under-the-radar wraith.
Mac - Both known wolves defend him after Night 2 (when he would have sent his own name, if Ferny), although Sally wanted him lynched on Day 1.
ORANGE:
Legate - Has suprisingly little standing against him being a wraith, especially if Mac is innocent or if he decided to sacrifice him. Could also be Frodo. On second glance, Day 1 posts look like he was trying to give advice to Ferny.
Er.... PEACH
Aganzir - Also has little against her wraithishness or Frodoliness. Initial wishywashy reaction to Lommy vs. Brinn looks bad. Jump on possible Mac-cobbler looks better if he is one, since she votes him on Day 2, when she would have probably known if he was Ferny.
YELLOW
Rune - Lots of fighting with Brinn, almost looks wolf-on-wolf, but pretty serious if it is (with Brinn almost getting lynched).
Menel - Votes for Mac every time, which looks good if Mac is bad, doesn't tell us much if Mac is good. Weirdly trusts Brinn at first. Nothing really against his wraithishness (unless Mac is Ferny).
CHARTREUSE
Lari - is only somewhat suspicious, and less so if Mac is Ferny.
GREEN
Greenie - Brinn appears to have tried to scapegoat her, which speaks in her favor.
Berry - If Mac is guilty, Berry is probably innocent. His reaction to my fake seer-reveal looks pretty innocent, too.
Nerwen - There are reasons she wouldn't be a wolf with each known wolf, innocentish vote on Day 1.
Rikae - Not on the chart, because why would you trust me to analyze myself?
