WW LXXVII: The Metamorphs of Wolf-562-e

[Inziladun]

Am I the only one who still doesn't quite see what Eomer was? A Bounty Hunter? I don't recall that role in the 'open' list. Was he one of the secret ones? Ah well. I've been awake for going on 18 hours now, so maybe that's something to do with it.

Does anyone here actually think a wolf would do that, unless an experienced and tricksy enough wolf to do it as a "no wolf would be so careless" bluff? I'm going to have to look more closely at that wagon - though I understand innocents can sometimes commit such egregious
DAY ONE FAILS too.

As Shasta said, BG was acting very much like her lupine self from the previous game. All the same indicators were there. And to me, her reactions after being called on her posting error regarding Lottie's copied list made her look worse.

I don't think it was at all unreasonable to vote BG. Actually, Wilwa's vote for Sally seems to make her look a bit worse toDay. Keeping away from the BG wagon when Wilwa knew she was already done for would have been a very smart move for a Wilwamorph.

Yeah. What he said.

Um... yes.

My first project is to restore running water to the facilities - Lottie's head is notably hard.

In any case, down to suspicions. Lottie has a history of being roughly 50% correct in her day one suspicions, and given that Wilwa is Lottie's only real suspicion so far, and given that the second post of Wilwa's that Lottie claims is 'forced' actually isn't (aaaand that this is entirely the style of play that so irritated me last time I played in a game with you, Lottie, dear, so I'm nipping it in the bud now - Stop it, with love, Shasta ), I don't buy it.

Right now I'm suspicious of Sally. Her vote looks precisely designed to not... do much of anything besides discourage other random votes for her.

I also, while reading up to this point, developed a "suspicious" read on either Pitch or Eomer... but for the life of me can not remember which one it was! I'm going to go figure that out now.

1. Last game* you were a wolf; I don't know why you're reminding me of it...

2. Warns me off my Wilwa suspicion, which if she is a wolf, doesn't look too good for him.

3. Is suspicious of Sally.

Regarding Eomer, I don't really see what's so suspicious about his suspicion of BG (whom I'm not entirely comfortable with, what with her protestations of "I'm not a wolf, I was one last time"). I honestly think it was Pitch that I was initially suspicious of, but I can't figure out why. Maybe it's my psychic powers working for the innocent side this time?

Funny sidenote - I couldn't figure out a way for that last statement to NOT sound like a subtle Telepath-clue, but it was too good a line to pass up, so I just went ahead and said it. I'm not the Telepath.

No you're not the Telepath. He also doesn't suspect Eomer, and already suspects BeiGe.

Votes BeiGe in almost a "OMGUS" move, only it wasn't himself she voted.

The point, BG, is that you voted for Lottie after clearly labeling her in your list as "innocentish". Even if you did make a mistake and put her in the wrong category, the category you said you meant to put her in doesn't even exist on Lottie's list.

Responding to BeiGe.

Nerwen, love of my life? Mind telling us what Eomer and Sally were?

Trying to figure out what the hey happened with the Night kills.

Asks a question we all know isn't going to be answered.

And regarding the BG vote - Rikae, if you'd followed the last game you'd realize that thinking BG was a wolf from the way she was acting... not so much a stretch.

Defends the BeiGe bandwaggon.

And Eomer appears to have been one of the secret roles? I don't know what his role was supposed to do, but given that we have an Assassin that hunts the Metamorphs with a special gun, and Eomer had a special gun in the narration, maybe he was the counterpart to whatever killed Sally?

Speaking of, it's looking like we may, in fact, have a werebear. Which immediately makes me suspect Rikae, obviously.

Trys to work out the roles.

~~~

All in all, I'm on the fence. If Wilwa turns out to be a wolf, I'd say we should take a good look at him...but also, he says he was suspicious of Sally and never mentions it again, almost as though he was just suspecting her because he was supposed to. But...meh...I don't know...

Off to look at Noia...

EDIT: *Last game we played together, that is...

Your Wilwa suspicion was full of holes at the time and you were twisting things to fit your theories, which was reminiscent of earlybad!Lottie from last game. I reacted accordingly. Nerr to you. And besides, I seem to have accomplished what I hoped to - you aren't doing it anymore.

It's not "OMGUS" by definition, since BG didn't vote me, so... I don't see your point here.

The question was rhetorical, and don't try to say we weren't all thinking it. I just gave it voice.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm actually going to chime in on this one (I'm agreeing with Lottie? What?):

Wilwa was also the first to point out that we wouldn't have to deal with false reveals (IIRC). She mentioned that it was "fantastic". Now, I've accused Lottie of this multiple times - reads on someone shouldn't depend on one word (and I happen to know that Vanessa's a very ebullient personality <3) but taken together the first thing I thought upon rereading was "she seemed awfully eager to point that out - wolf looking for citizen points?"

*coughs* Eomer, weren't you in charge of making sure that a situation like this did *not* occur? I further find baseless attacks on Ms. Guardian, as loopy as she is, unwarranted. Please refrain in the future from attacking others without some flimsy reasoning at the least will be met with harshly in the future. And if Ms. Guardian is indeed a metamorph, I get the feeling we'll know before too much longer.

Also, Rikae must be metamorph scum, hiding under a convenient guise of being a stowaway. *eyetwitch*

Asks that Eomer not attack BeiGe baselessly. See his point, even if I can also see where Eomer was coming from.

Nice omgus there. The only reason I disappeared was because I didn't have much time earlier; I'm generally not around until the evening. I honestly do agree with you on Sally though; experience dictates using a throwaway vote is always a bad idea. The fact Sally voted for herself so she "wouldn't accidentally contribute to any innocent deaths" smacks of... oh what's the word here? It feels as if she is wasting her vote as to not draw suspicion for it later (as in to avoid the usual cloud of suspicion and whatnot that surrounds innocent lynches) and to discourage a bandwagon on her.

Speaking of BG and self destructing.



Not only did BG then proceed to vote for Lottie, she also then proceeded to put suspicion onto Eomer, someone who's early suspicions she was laughing off as just being crazy, making her putting Eomer in the suspicious pile rather well.. suspect.

This is making me eat my words earlier, but, based on this and waiting on BG's upcoming roleflip, I'm starting to think the Security Officer is innocent afterall.

[*highlight]++Blind Guardian[/highlight]

Harmless (earthling):
Paranoia

Mostly Harmless(Probable Earthlings):
Shasta - One of the first few to notice BG's glaring slip.
IZZY - Ditto.

Don't Panic (about them, anyway.):
Eomer (waiting on BG to flip.)
Lottie (could go in the panic category soon.)

Panic!:
Sally. (See above.)
BG. (voted for her for reasons above; obviously is going to go in here.)

Everyone else: Not much of a read on them at the moment, unfortunately.



Crossed a whole bunch of times with Shasta, Izzy, Lottie, BG, and Willy? Willwuffins? Willowail? Whatevah.

Suspects Sally pretty strongly, which makes him look a bit better. And he makes good points on her, as well as on BeiGe. She turned out innocent, but still, at least one other innocent thought her guilty. So this post leaves me confused.

The explanation just doesn't add up. It feels more like she was trying to go along with whatever everyone else was doing without really contributing, which is something she's done last game. If anything, her "Grrr lottie's making people vote grr she must be a metamorph!" post and vote makes her even worse in conjecture with this, because people not voting, and therefore attracting the mod's ire, is even worse for us in this bloody ship when the modkills start piling up.

I don't really know what to think after looking at him more closely. Not really suspicious, not really innocent looking...he makes good points, too...what's a girl to think?

1. I wasn't really at the time, you know. I'm pretty sure I only made one post about it. Still, I can see where you're coming from...

2. I meant in the retaliatory sense - you voted for her because you didn't like her vote. That's really the essence of OMGUS, isn't it?

3. I know. I was mostly joking.

I didn't like the reasons (or lack thereof) for her vote. Not quite the same thing. And as I recall, that vote was for you! Some thanks.

Alright, I think I'm hitting the hay. Good night.

Alright, alright, not quite OMGUS vote. I got it.

Good Night, O Morphlike One!
