WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[Mithalwen]

*sigh* well I can't say my investigations have been particularly helpful. A lot of people seem odd but then that is to be expected in the circumstances.

Lommie and Boro make odd early posts.

Nerwen is probably the most amusing and for that I would keep her around a while though I know too well she has been evil and hysterically funny before...

Inziladun- I can understand the work limitations just concerned that so much effort has been put into finding him a nick name. Not his fault but surely we have greater priorities - I am beginning to worry that "finding a nickname" for Inszladun wil become synonymous with "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic".

Kath seems ok - I got the deadline confused too so I am in sympathy. For now. Besides if she is innocent she is bound to die early...

Agan seems ok so far too.

Boro is worrying me. I don't like the first post. I don't like him saying I can judge him. So often I have got him right but maybe you have been gone too long or I know how good you can be when you are bad. Can't say I trust you yet.... especially with that vote for phantom...retractable so may be flying a kite.. but dangerous given that Lari had already voted for him.

And the phantom.... I wonder .. .he namechecks people who haven't yet posted in his early (first?) post> Qwath and Gaur ... significant? If so perhaps more likely to be evil than good... a gifted would only know about one person, wolfs often mention their colleagues to avoid accusations of NOT mentioning them when they become known... but TP is a more sophisticated thinker than I so what do I know.

Zilch but I don't have to vote til tomorrow thank goodness.

[Gwathagor]

Qwath..haha. Makes me think of quaff, which makes me think of beer.

[Gwathagor]

Surprise, surprise - Phantom wants to be the center of attention again. Or maybe it's that he IS the center of attention, whether we like it or not, and he's simply accepted that fact?

Crossed with Mith.

[Kath]

In my first game as mod, Morm was Mr Popular (The Seer, Ranger and Mythomaniac all picked him). The wolves didn't because he was one of them.

And it led to an evil win. Therefore don't follow phantom's plan unless you want that. That said we only all picked morm because we figured he was evil straight away ... well, except the Ranger clearly.

... is my way of saying I'm back! I'm actually going to have to vote toNight but not for about an hour or so. I'll be hanging around for a bit, having a read through and a think.

Before you meet the handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of frogs

Before you meet the handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of toads~Mith

If you are petitioning to be my recipient, it's working and a I love it. I am sorry if it disappoints you, however, to learn that I am not french and I just shaved yesterday in case this dreamy fairytale were to come true.

Oh boy, Boro. We're back to this. Seems so familiar.

haha.

[Mithalwen]

I would like to say that I do like beer... and it is nearly time for Ringwood's Boondoggle .... not that Old Thumper and Forty niner are not fine beers .... but

[Gwathagor]

Huh, so is Boro really trying to test us, or did he just pick up on that suggestion from Phantom and decide to run with it? If the former is the case, then I presume the test is to see who else votes for Phantom and how - whether it turns into a bandwagon. That seems risky to me. Surely, Boro, you could "test" the village without risking the life of one of our better players?

Crossed with everyone since Me.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm shocked that this game has started already (and to be honest, a little irritated that I still manage to be an Ordinary Villager when there's only four in the entire game.)

Let me reread the first page and the rest of this page and I'll get back.

*fletches arrows madly to make up for lost time*

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Alright, I've read.

And Wilwa is right; I'm not a morning person.

I have one thing to quote and reply to:

Bah. You're always "rather quiet".

And one suggestion for the village; lynch Phantom or Boro today. If both of them are around for too long, this game will go from "confusing" to "mind-numbingly complicated".

[the phantom]

Shasta, Eomer, and Gwath are safe from me for two days. Maybe more. We'll see.

Boro, Gaurcrist, Inzil, Green, and Mith are safe for one day.

Nienna will never be safe- that pandering book wench! She's evil. Even if she isn't evil, she is, in fact, evil.

Fea..... I have nothing to say, except- without stories, how boring would life be?

I suggest we lynch no one.

Safe from you? What would you to to us if we weren't?

And where, dear phantom, is the fun in that?

Ima go ahead and vote now since it probably should be bedtime (meaning I'll vote now and retract later if necessary when there's actually reason to do so). So for now,

++sally

Since I know she won't hurt me for voting her.

Err Shasta, if you are an innocent, is that really the most helpful thing you could post? Not going to be any Captain Oates acts from you then are there?

And Boro, I don't want to kiss you, or indeed anyone at the moment ..unless perhaps they happen to be made of chocolate.... Any takers for including Goldilocks and the three (grizzly) bears...

[Boromir88]

I suggest we lynch no one.~tp

Hmm...pretty good suggestion considering the amount of specials and assets we have (including Shasta ). The chance of a disastrous lynch is greater.

And Boro, I don't want to kiss you, or indeed anyone at the moment ..unless perhaps they happen to be made of chocolate~Mith

I can be made of chocolate if that pleases you, but I ask do not take being nominated for the Arda Cup out on me, I had nothing to do with that. I swear, it was all tp's idea and pushed through by Skip.

Weeeeellll, Mith darling, I've decided that this game is going to be somewhat wild, and after all, one must keep up with the times, mustn't one?

Because such a thing as good beer does not exist? My taste is just too sophisticated for beer.

I agree with Mith about Lommy & Boro's first posts being odd but I wouldn't read too much into them because it's not easy to be the first poster.
However I don't think Boro's phantom vote makes him suspicious, I recall he likes to have fun with retractable votes at times.

Basically that's not a good thing to say for an ordo since it narrows down the field of possible Red Caps and therefore makes it easier for the Big Bad Wolf to guess her identity.

I'm planning to go to sleep soon.

Well yes I considered that option but it's still not a vote I'd have made...

I could bet almost anything for that he's going to retract that vote...

What's thing between phantom and Nienna?

Haha, so true. But I just think we should ignore them to an extent, especially tp.

I have a feeling everybody's sending hints all the time and I'm not getting them.

I will now go to sleep, unless I've cross-posted with something interesting...

PS. Feel free to lynch me for I also think beer is bad.


edit: xed with Boro's #72 and everything after that

[Kath]

Shall we have a list? I think we shall! I suspect most of the entries will simply say 'banter' but there's not a lot I can do about that at this stage.

Nerwen - do Agan and Lommy fight a lot in game? I hadn't noticed that before, or at least not remembered it.

Eomer - banter.

Lommy - clearly Noggie is playing over her shoulder with the loud/quiet debate comment. Thinks Lari should have refrained from voting, but would likely have been the first to jump on her and ask why she hadn't voted if Lari had gone for that option. From her list has some suspicion of Lari based on what she said before, otherwise she's no idea. Ah we have a retraction! Well that explains Boro.

Agan - I want to know how many other people are now tempted to go look up all Nerwen's past games and see if that thing about the word 'terrible' is true! Warns of potential revenge vote. Very good point about the fair maiden if her maths is right. Loud/quiet debate. Doesn't like Boro or phantom but will leave them alone - reason?

sally - pops up.

McCaber - surprisingly well thought out suspicions for a first post! Adds to the loud/quiet debate.

Mira - appears.

Shasta - arrives. Says McCaber is always quiet and we should kill phantom and/or Boro now to save ourselves a headache.

Gwath - says Boro should be able to test the village without resorting to killing.

Boro - whole lot of nothing. This list on the other hand not so well thought out. *sigh* And off to coded communication again. I knew there was a reason I hated Boro and phantom playing together. Votes phantom, I'm sure for some horrendously complicated reason. This early in the game I don't much care to try and pick it apart.

Inzil - intro post. Haha! I love his (boy yes?) description of phantom: a bit unbalanced and unpredictable? Just you wait til Fea begins her madness Inzil.

Nienna - banter.

Greenie - arrives ... leaves. Doesn't like the unreasoned votes against phantom.

Lari - makes her excuses and leaves, voting phantom first. I can see her point. It's like the people who vote Nog early on Day 1 only to see him saved in the last few seconds.

Mith - arrives. Wonders about the votes for phantom. Seems to have come to no real conclusions but clearly thinking things through well. Not keen on Boro or Lommy.

phantom - random except for the mention of Lari. Interesting thoughts, but there are also 4 ordos on the 'normal' Gifted team. Helpfully suggests we lynch no one. If there were no wolves fine, but as there are it isn't a great plan.

And I got nothing from Izzy, Gaurcrist or Fea. Though I foresee problems with me realising Fea has arrived because I thought she had already before I realised it was actually Greenie.

From all that the only person who jumped out at me was Lommy for her reaction to Lari's vote. I'm going to vote in a few minutes so it'll probably be for her.

[Kath]

Hmm cross posted with quite a few people there.

Erm check every game we've played together since the Duelling Wizards.
I blame Rikae though, she told us wolves to lynch Lommy so I made a massive case against her, and it sort of stuck.

It wasn't a very serious don't-like yet. Anyway I usually leave those twain alone on day 1 and wait till I can develop a clearer picture of them because everyone is concentrating on them all the time anyway.

I like also Kath for now.

Anyway my brain is slowing down so I'll go to sleep. Good night.

edit: xed with Boro & Gwath.
