WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

[Isabellkya]

My guess at the moment is that the cloaked figure "unlocked" their role in some fashion. Probably by completing a task, or some condition being met.

Meh, who knows - save for Sally and the cloaked figure.

Perhaps this person was able to unlock their role when the wolves chose to attack them. Though the fact that this mysterious figure was already waiting for them is rather odd.

I'm just wondering what sort of powers phantom's apprentice could have. And are they on our side or their own side? Perhaps we should keep an eye out for anyone who starts to impersonate the phantom toDay.

What follows is a collection of all the meaningful remarks about and stances on Thinlomien that I could find. Note: this post contains no original analysis. It is merely a catalog.

But if that is the truth, then we are sadly out of clues as to solving the problem Mac brought forwards as to whether the ducks feel confident or are under pressure.

Somewhat frivolous for someone who normally plays seriously. I don't really like her vote for Lari ... she doesn't seem to give reasons why suspicious but seems to use saying she might vote for her as justification for actually voting for her.

She seems a bit more herself toDay than yesterDay, maybe because she was getting a little bit of attention... Last time I thought because she was easy-going she must be innocent I was dead wrong. But frivolous better describes her right now.

Possibly innocent:
Lommy
Mac - for all that I said I think he's an impassioned innocent.
Rikae
Durelin

If we could dispose of you both today and tonight then we will be well on our way...

Evilish

Lommy - Part of me says she does not have her usual direction because she is a wolf trying hard to fabricate some things, part of me says she's not being careful enough to be a wolf. All I know is that ever since that game where she andphantom were wolves I suspect her a lot more. She's certainly not playing like she was then - she was extremely cool and smooth then along with frivolous. Here she seems more flustered and less on top of things. But that may be because she's come under a bit of pressure.

[...]

Creepy

Brinniel - She seems more flippant/frivolous than usual, kinda similar to Lommy.
Gwath - I don't know what it is. I think it's that he actually made a list.

What could I, as a duck, have hoped to have gained from drawing attention to myself by voting for someone I had put in my less suspicious category? If it was a plot, then it was a poorly conceived one.

So to sum things up:

Guilty/Feelings of Guilt:
Lommy
Bubbles
Mith
Rikae
Wilwa

Gwath...?
Lommy...?
Gwath...?
Lommy...?

Let's see:

Gwath did that strange thing (pointed out by wilwarin) of voting someone he didn't list in the "most suspicious" category. Then, toDay, his manner has been off...quite a lot like a Gwathwolf... but then Lommy is going after him heavily, and she doesn't feel right either.

There is something overtly careful in her posts and in her avoidance of debate – unless it is defending her case which she does a bit over the top this time.

Originally Posted by Durelin

Lommy's behavior I think just seems too uncautious to be wolf behavior. I know she can be completely cool as a wolf, and her oddness (at least as I perceived it) did not start toDay when she has really come under pressure.

Originally Posted by Nogrod

I'm also worried about Lommy. She seems to be a bit too defensive and vague. She just doesn't feel like honest. The problem being she has been able to pull off a "honest-look" as a baddie as well.

Originally Posted by Nerwen

Okay... there's really not much point voting for anyone except Gwath or Lommy...

++Lommy feels a bit worse, somehow.

I'm wondering who is being warned here.

If Sally insists the ranger was not involved, there may be another protector/person with protection abilities (edit: or they gained protection abilities)...but there's no reason to really discuss it unless, as someone suggested, it ever becomes apparent that whoever the wolves went after here is not really on our side either.

Originally Posted by Izzy

I think it an obvious statement - that at least one of the Lommy voters yesterDay was/is a wereDuckie.

With that many votes...yeah, I agree.

Hmm...what you up to, Rikae?

Thanks for the quotes, Gwath. As much as I'd like to be as helpful, it's a bit too late for that. Night night.
