WW LXXIX: Fall From Olympus

She's a wolf. Why would she care about Nienna's death, unless the latter is a packmate? It couldn't mean Nienna is her lover, either, since Tum has already told us Rikae is Ares.



I find it notable that at the end she writes a glowing summary of how good Rikae is, but leaves that very small bit of doubt based around Rikae's joking declarations of lupinity. Did anyone who's innocent really take Rikae seriously there? She says things like that all the time! It seems a strange thing for someone to choose as a reason to be wary of Rikae. More like a packmate saying "Hmm. I don't need to be totally in favour of Rikae, so I'd better put an inconsequential reason as to why I don't completely trust her". And the bit about Rikae possibly being a lover? Could that have been intended to dissuade the Seer from dreaming her? "Doesn't have one of the more important roles"?

Now you're grasping at straws. I picked out the stuff I thought could mean that Rikae is a wolf though I didn't think it likely (I know now that I was wrong ) ... if you'll note in the analysis I did of you as well I picked out the weird things you said that could point to your wolf-dom as well.

I probably won't be around much today. Church right now, then leaving for Lincoln. I'll try to read up and post briefly at noon, and again sometime in the evening.

I may be wrong, but I don't think I'm "grasping at straws". It just seems like an odd thing to single out as your reason for having some misgivings about Rikae, when you'd been so otherwise positive about her.

Anyway, I was going to look at Wilwa on Day Three.

Oh, and–

++Rikae.

[Nerwen]

Wilwa, Day Three

#581. No way to know yet if Hestia is False or not. Explains Day Two vote. Very puzzled as to why Nienna was proposed as the alternative lynchee to Eonwe:

Eonwe made at least a bit of sense, even if he maybe didn't look *that* suspicious, he had been discussed to be a possible Cursed and if anything it would have stopped us from just considering him again toDay and wasting time. It was ideal, but it made more sense than Nienna.

Finds Lottie's analysis of tum (#564) unreadable. Agrees with my points about "Nogrod's fork".

Comments: Nienna again... However, a wolf can be honestly curious, too, and it seems Nienna was indeed picked at random.


#617. Doesn't like Sally's plan. Is against reveals in general:

Tum is weird, but so is Lottie. Doesn't like Nog, but doesn't want to lynch him if he won't be around.

Comments: That bit about reveals unbalancing the game may have been what alerted Lottie.


#628. Suspicion list. Okay with Lalaith, me, Rikae, Mac, Sally and Greenie. Neutral about Kath, Nienna, Inzil, Mira, phantom and Folwren. Suspicious of tum, Lottie, Shasta and Nog.


#631. Agrees with Greenie (#630) that tum looks bad, but might be a misguided innocent. Agrees with Zil (#627) that the boldness of Sally's plan makes her look good.


#691. Comments on Nog, tum, and Lottie. Nog's last post makes her feel better about him, Lottie is all right, tum looks worst. Votes tum.

General Comments: Still precious little to say about living players. Somewhat supportive of Nienna and Sally– however, her strong opposition to Sally's plan would tend to indicate they're not on the same side. (Wouldn't want to rely on any of this, though.)

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Here and reading. I'm going to have to vote early and won't be on the rest of the day, so -

++Rikae

Also, what the heck was Zeus thinking!?

[Glirdan]

Everyone scattered throughout Olympus as soon as Zeus entered, terrified that he or she may be the victim of his wrath. Zeus was trembling in fury. His anger could be felt by the mortals below as the ground quaked and shook. Yet there was one brave person on Olympus, the one person who was never terrified of his father's wrath.

Hercules, with Apollo behind him, approached his father in an attempt to persuade him to listen and calm down. Yet nothing would soothe the King of the Gods. His anger could be compared to none ever felt before.

"Dad! Listen to me!" Hercules tried to reason with him. "Artemis was just doing what you wanted! She was trying to stop the Twilight!" Yet Zeus would not hear any of it.

"Get out!! Both of you!" Zeus's voice rumbled through the halls of Olympus for all to hear.

"Not until you have listen to us father!" Apollo piped up from behind Hercules.

Apparently, the time for listening was long gone. Zeus started shooting thunderbolts all over the room. The room began to shake. Cracks started to appear on the columns and in the ceiling. Then Zeus looked directly at Apollo, eyes pure white with shocks literally flying from them, and tossed an electric bolt at Apollo, which hit him square in the chest.

Hercules shouted in anger at his father and rushed at him, checking him into the wall. Zeus hit the wall with such tremendous force, that it reverberated up to the ceiling, where one of the cracks were located. A piece of the roof came tumbling down on to the unsuspecting Hercules, literally turning him into a pancake.

Zeus looked around the Grand Chamber, first at the hulking piece of ceiling that just crushed his illegitimate son, then to the burnt face of his daughter Artemis, to his son Apollo with the hole in his chest that he had caused, to his dead wife, with an arrow protruding from her back, and walked out of the room, a single tear falling from his eye...

Just so I don't forget:

++ Rikae

There hasn't been much going on except Nerwen going through Wilwa's posts (thank you) and I don't want today to be an entire waste.

I'm going to look at Meeper as she seems to be flying under the radar without much consequence. I may also look at Foley or Lal.

You're allowed your opinion and I'm glad you are looking at other people today instead of just wasting the day because we have a wolf. I'm just letting you know that I pointed those things out because they stuck out to me and I wanted others to see what I saw.

[Folwren]

Interesting way to make the game...interesting, Zues. Good gravy, this is insanity itself.

And Mac, a ranger, has dropped out, too? We're in dire straights, folks.

I've got to go for a bit, we're about to read the Bible.

He was capable of a ranger power at some point but we do still have two active rangers. We may also still have a true seer. We need not despair but we do need to be cautious.

Oh. Erm, sorry? I just assumed you were going to cause trouble as usual and decided I'd cut you off before you got started.

Why does no one love me this game?

Mac wasn't a ranger in the typical sense; we still have two of those.



Hestia, whatever you do, stay the heck hidden (unless you've found wolves, of course). Much as I really do hate to depend on seers' dreams I don't want you dead.



Here's a wacky idea that's zany. Maybe Zeus didn't want us to have a ranger (read, seer, because I'm an idiot and got distracted as I was typing) so we'd do the work ourselves. In that case, who would do that? Phantom?

[Folwren]

Oh, sorry...I see now. He was Sherrif, not ranger.

I assume you mean Seer, not Ranger. That's an interesting idea, and I guess one that would make some sense...kinda. Poor Tum, though, now matter how she played it she was shot.

Phantom did say, "You just lost the game." I'll see if I can go find that quote.
