WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

Instead, we should suspect/lynch based on who and what reasons players suspect one another. Going in that direction is more likely going to catch us a were-duck rather than just examining posting style, lack of serious participation, etc. In fact, I think it may be smart to carefully look at those who do choose to vote for someone based only on behaviour.

Perfectly, completely agreed. Makes me think good of ye.

I am sorry, sir. Is that sufficient?

Not that people shouldn't socialise at all when a game is underway but when people interact privately while a game is on there is a feeling of... Well, hard to say.

But it does not concern the game at all. Besides, I never talk about WW outside the game (except when I am safely dead). (/end of out-game note)

(Good sentence to point out, I steal the quote from Nog) But is that really removed from their 'behavior', whatever our definition?

Nogrod, your last post confuses me greatly. Are you specifically addressing...Brinn and Lommy +...?

And LotR roles? I understand this is the Downs and all, but I'm not getting you.

But I don't care if I get an explanation and promise I won't go voting you for being confusing or anything. I don't want to keep you here when it's so late.

(Edit: Crossed with Legate and Lommy. Ah, they don't get him either...)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

What are the votes this far anyway?

[Durelin]

Lommy and Legate, you are so cute right now, btw.

[Durelin]

The Votes:

234 Rikae >> Nogrod (1)
237 Macalaure >> Gwathagor (1)
253 Mithalwen >> Lariren (1)
254 Kath >> Brinniel (1)

Awww thanks.

*is freaked out by Noggie and his role* (Hmmm... maybe he's Lobelia and has to complain about everything like I suggested... )

I feel like I could vote Lari. It's the vote I'd probably feel the most comfortable with. (Although, that does not guarantee it's a good vote.)


edit: xed with Durie

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You sicken me all.

A plague on all your posts.

++Village

++Sally and Mnemo

++the phantom

I'll be here tomorrow, though now I wish I weren't.

Post-traumatic possums: My mum is, of course, exempted from the sickening and the plague, and, oh yeah, the vote:

--Mithalwen (*hugs*)

[Durelin]

Wow. Hi Nilp.

(Edit: Crossed with a perhaps not quite as grumpy as Nilp but still grumpy Mira. Oh, and Brinn, too.)

[Gwathagor]

I am now prepared to be a little more involved.

Hi Dury . . . Dure . . . Dûrin?

Yes.

[Mirandir]

Fea - Has been busy with school. Boo. Need to hear more from her.

Brinn - Needs to get more sleep. Also needs to post more. But what she has said doesn't look too suspicious.

wilwa - No idea.

Shasta - Makes references that confuse me. Will keep an eye on him.

Durie - Stole my vote count idea. Should lynch him just for that. Just kidding. Stats are good.

Nog - If we were playing the "whoever analyzes most is clearly evil" game, Nog would win. Otherwise his posts look solid and not too suspicious.

Izzy - Need to hear more from.

Nerwen - Need to hear more from to get a read.

Rikae - Bubbles. Heh heh...Beyond that, no idea.

Mith - Need to hear more from.

Kath - Apparently worried about a Day 1 lynch for Gwath. Suspicious.

Lari - Apparently now looks like a good lynch choice for no good reason as far as I can tell. Will keep an eye on her.

Mac - No read on him so far. Need to hear more.

Nienna - Newbie. Gets Day 1 protection from me at least.

Gwath - Apparently can't be lynched toDay at risk of everyone being modfired.

Lommie - Seems very very confused and frustrated...but is that because she actually is or because she's been told to act that way. Also voted Lari for banter. Suspicious.

Legate - Needs to post more.

Nilp - Suicidal. Suspicious.

Sorry that took so incredibly long for such a short post. I feel like if I make a more detailed post I'm going to miss deadline and as we learned last game, that is a very bad life choice. If anyone wants elaboration, I'll do my best to give it.

[Mirandir]

So according to my analysis, Lommie, Kath, and Nilp are suspicious. I'm not a fan of lynching the suicidal; it tends to give them what they want. I don't have enough reason to lynch Kath just quite yet, but I'm going to keep an eye on her. So based on that logic:

++Lommie

[wilwarin538]

Uh, I'm at a loss, I really wish Day 1 hadn't been toDay, probably one of the worst days for me. I honestly tried to read everything but it's quite late for me here and I've just worked all day and have a giant test tomorrow that I'm quite worried for. So I can promise that, if I'm still living, that next Day I will be able to participate far more and my vote will be much more thought out.

I'm gonna go back and use another 10 minutes to atleast re-read this last page, then I'll come back and vote.

x'posted, with a few

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Now my name can be scratched off the list of linkers.


X'd with Brin.

[Isabellkya]

++Lari

I don't see what is supposedly wrong with Durelin, and I don't like how Legate voted for her. Not wanting her to get lynched, but putting her in the lead.
I don't think voting for Legate would do much good; because it would just be a bandwagon-esque vote.
Meh. Call it what it is I suppose.


X'd with Mira x3.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

All y'all are bandwagoning. I don't like this at all.

Don't mind Nilp. He's always suicidal. That why we don't let sharp objects near him.
