[Durelin]

Well, okay...Nerwen did vote for you yesterDay...

Sally and Nerwen don't count.

[mormegil]

In looking over the voting it is important to note that Durelin was the last to vote for Alona, my gut tells me these wolves aren't overly brazen and wouldn't go for that approach. I continue to think Durelin innocent of being a wolf.

Nerwen, Nienna, Mira and Sally (less on Sally) really poured on the votes for me at the end...disclaimer, I can't remember when Mira voted I think it was before Nienna and Nerwen. Anyway those are two suspects who seem to have wanted to save their compatriot. However, as I've brought up and others too Nerwen fits the bill for the cobbler.

I cannot remember Nienna voicing any major suspicion of me yesterday. Perhaps I'll go back and check but not now as it is bed time. If Nienna is innocent and how no strong suspicions of me why would she vote for me to possibly save Alona? The only reason is she felt Alona was very innocent, which is hard to believe. Otherwise a guilty Nienna could very easily have wanted to save her pack mate and saw that I was the most likely target other than Alona and went for me.

Again, I hope to review and see if she had any major suspicion of me but if any of you Europeans have time to do it while I sleep it would be great.

What the-? Didn't you retract and then vote Morm again?

The only one? Morm nearly got the chop yesterDay– I reckon he's got something to feel victimised about. On the other hand, that edginess was there all yesterDay too– it's mainly why I voted him.

It now seems unlikely he's a wolf, though.

[Thinlómien]

I still don't get why morm is so confident he was attacked last Night. You can't know stuff like that, and if I had to start naming probable wolf kills, morm wouldn't even be in my top five. And even if he was protected last NIght, it doesn't make him innocent - he could still be the bear. So I don't see why anybody should believe any part of morm's claim.

I'm sorry to see Shasta go. Not only because he didn't get to play much, but obviously also because he was the ranger. With both the seer and the ranger gone, our future looks quite gloomy. We really had better keep lynching baddies.

Speaking of which, I'm glad you ended up lynching Alona. (If Form is the bear, that would've been better but good anyway. ) I think I'll go through Alona's posts and possibly even what people have said about her - if I have time - it could be useful.

Now I'm to comment what happened yesterDay after I went to sleep and then I will have at least some sort of look at Alona.


xed with Nerwen

Well yes, he tends to explain a lot and I was silly not to think of that, but I still think he's sort of trying to excuse himself too much in this game to look completely honest.

I never said that - I said Form's manner of speaking about the bear is suspicious, not the fact that he speaks about the bear (a lot).

And now I know why Shasta seemed so suspiciously edgy... it crossed my mind at some point he might be gifted but I decided he looks far more like a wolf... Well, I'm glad I/we didn't manage to get him lynched.

I'm not to sure what to make of this comment, because normally people just ignore such vague yet clearly enough phrased suspicions and let them be. Nienna, however, wanted an explanation to be able to defend herself and half of me says that's a sign of guilt, and the other half that it's a sign of innocence... go figure.

I had forgotten that, but now I remember - that's true. I recall one game where a wolf-Sally made a fake seer-reveal without directly saying she's the seer. So if she indeed has claimed innocence loudly (haven't noticed that, though) I'd be more inclined to believe her innocent than guilty.

Haven't you ever played with Nogrod? (*is being rhetorical... I know the answer)

There's nothing bad in being analytical per se, but as an experienced werewolf player you should probably know that many wolves have been caught because they have explained the Night kills so smartly and effortlessly (straight from their Nightly PMs) or have managed to give the impression they think (a lot) from the wolves' prespective. I'm not saying going inside a baddie's mind and speculating stuff is bad - on the contrary - but sometimes it looks so authentical it gives off bad vibes, often for a reason. And that's why I suspect you.

You're right, and that's why I wouldn't advise going just bear-hunting. But if I see someone who looks like a bear I rather vote him than someone who looks like a wolf.

++no vote

This is really worth looking at now that we know Alona was a wolf. It seems very very suspicious. But it's rather puzzling too - why didn't she vote Form whom she said she suspected earlier (she was wondering whether to vote him or Alona)? Is it possible we're dealing with a Nessa-Form-Alona trio?

Why not? (Not that they seem like mates, but that argument looks rather questionable.)

I think Rikae's case againt me makes her look more innocent, because when I was reading it I was thinking "hey, what? that woman makes everything I do look darn suspicious, aha, she plans to attack me based on this" and then was really surprised to see her conclusion as "60% innocent". If she was a wolf, she'd probably just exaggerate the case a bit (more) and say I must be guilty. She could still be the bear, anyway...

Maybe because the cobbler helps the wolves, who are the bear's enemies, and the bear doesn't profit anything from having a cobbler around (unlike from having wolves around).

I don't think it was very wolvish after all.

Why wouldn't it? As a wolf, you'd be very crafty to make a random group of three innocent people and say "there must be one wolf here" because then you can basically get them all lynched (if you're good and lucky" by insiting "the first one wasn't so it must be some of the others" and "oh, the second one wasn't either, let's lynch the third one, ok?" and then apologise humbly when you turn out to be wrong.

Jump on it? I have been suspecting Form of bear-ery since early Day2 and I was considering voting him all along! And "so quickly"? Maybe, but it was something around 1am and I needed to vote before going to sleep.

Not bold at all? What was saving another player at the last minute with no knowledge on their role? I didn't suspect Inziladun much more than Alona, but decided to act on it anyway. I think that's pretty bold, given that it didn't matter to me personally which one of them died and could just as well been accidentally saving a baddie (like it turned out to be).

If you want to, you can excuse my Day2 behaviour by that, but not stuff from yesterDay or toDay.

I'm not doing the Alona analysis yet - no one seems to be around and it's lovely weather outside. I'll go to swim in the sea and maybe sit on the beach, I'll be back either in an hour or two, or then in the evening after work, but in any case I'm going to have a look at Alona at some point today.

[Thinlómien]

I'm back (didn't swim, both the weather and the water were rather cold but I had fun) and I'm off to do the Alona-analysis. I have an hour to do it now so I doubt I will manage it before I go to work. I will finish it later then. I'm keeping an eye on thsi thread, so if anyone is around and feels like a chat, I'm here.
