WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[Nerwen]

It's betting time!

Is Shasta a wolf trying to look like a gifted trying to look like an ordo? Or a gifted trying to look like a wolf trying to look like an ordo? Or an ordo? (3-1 each way)

And what in Middle-earth is Boro up to? I could see him as a villain trying to pose as one of the lover-roles– but that's not why he got voted. (I'm in the position of feeling that I might vote him... if the previous votes hadn't been so dodgy.)

I'll go and check the Hansel and Gretel roles.

EDIT:X'd since Mithalwen.

Well hishints are really rather boldly out there so it makes me wonder, as do many others who are throwing various hints around, mainly the phantom. This game is crazy.

If you're talking about my opening post, those hints were actually accidental. At least the two that seem to go together were. Didn't even notice until Boro said something about it. I was just making random comments, and there are so many roles that random comments are bound to be more applicable than they were ever meant to be.

Anyway, I have no time to do anything (just like I figured would happen). I've been doing all my posts between sections of work, and I actually haven't read more than half of your posts closely. But starting tonight I'll have lots and lots of time, so no biggie.

For now, I vote, and then later tonight when I'm rereading I can slap my forehead for my terrible choice.

For no other reason than her vote, which was not only for me (*gasp*), but she said she voted for me because she figured I wouldn't die. I could say several things about such motives, but I have to leave immediately. Good night.

Now I may actually have to vote for Shasta. Luckily, I don't care about being hypocritical.

1. He is an ordo. Maybe not the best option

2. He is an ordo who is LRC, and this would eliminate the chance of the wolves picking up an extra one.

3. He is a wolf who wanted to emphasize his ordinariness. I doubt this, but would love for it to be true.

I can't see Shasta being a gifted, I know he takes a lot more pride in his giftedness. When he was the ranger first and I faked revealed to get him lynched, he was pretty upset and thought he didn't do a good job. But that fact is, that he stopped one of our kills, and he even left a clue to his successful protection of Kath, I was just somehow more convincing. So, I can't see Shasta, being a gifted, posing as an ordo and making people suspect him. He might have changed, but from I remember he takes a lot of pride when being gifted.

The people I am suspicious of...

Gwath
Agan

And to some extent...

Mith
Greenie
Shasta

Yes that's true. And it probably wasn't so bad if we didn't agree so much most of the time.

The only thing I noticed about it was that it seemed to be written from a point of view that Shasta isn't a wolf. She mentioned the possibility once and then concentrated on other possibilities. I don't think it looked very suspicious in general though, and her reasoning in her next post is pretty good.

Garr I was planning to read through the thread before voting but I got distracted and there's no time anymore.

I could vote for Greenie because thus far she looks the most suspicious or Shasta, well, because of damage limitation - I don't find him especially suspicious (and no I really wasn't serious when talking about revenge voting earlier today! ) but I'd prefer Green.

Because if we are, then I see much less point in lynching Shasta toDay.

I think she said it isn't told directly but the narration may hint that way. I suppose we should be able to figure out if that's happened though.

Good point about lynching Shasta.

[wilwarin538]

I will not say directly if LRC is turned, and if I hint it would be quite small and perhaps not even the same Night it happens, but Days later. And really I only will if I think of a good way to hint it, which I may not. So, yes, it's possible for hinting, but probably not probable. So just stick with you not knowing if/when it happens.

Hmm...Nienna? What has she done?

I don't like her vote. And I felt like giving Shasta another Day - but it may have been stupid given what Wilwa just said.

[Boromir88]

Please no flood voting at the end, my brain wouldn't be able to take it.

If Shasta were a wolf then it was an interesting opening gambit to make himself so conspicuous. And of course it makes lynching him a better idea!!!
