WW LXXIX: Fall From Olympus

However, on other fronts it is tempting. Kath´s analysis is oddly careless by her standards (and not just about me). Her increased participation co-incides with being two wolves down, which could be a stepping-into-the-breach operation. If she´s not a wolf I think she could (despite her protests to the contrary) be the cursed, so lynching her before the wolves turn her would be a pre-emptive strike.

Ahhhh, right you are, and fair enough.

However, the rest of this post also is fair. If you have a wolf, you lynch them, whether it looks opportunistic or not. (If that makes sense.) Basically you can't let the wolves get away just because voting for them is like wearing socks with sandals.


Also, what are your thoughts on Foley? And where the heck is Phantom?

So my laptop fell off my bed while I was getting a drink of water and unplugged. Shasta no happy.

Analysis of Lalaith, the short version - aka What I Can Remember:

Is it just me, or is there an interesting Lalaith/Kath vibe today? First Kath leaves something that could be construed as a blatant Cursed-hint, and now Lal seems all for lynching her? After not going after Kath at all previously? I'm beginning to think one's a wolf and one's the cursed (if Eonwe wasn't). Trouble is, I'm not sure which is which. I think I'd be fine with lynching either one, though.

Huh? Wouldn't a wolf be against lynching the possible Cursed?

As opposed to lynching a Wolf? If we're lynching the cursed, we're not lynching a wolf, and if we're pretty sure we know who the cursed is it's not in the wolves's best interest to go for them at Night since we'd just lynch them the following Day, so... why not use them as lynch fodder?

I have enhanced weapons skills. Anyone care to see a demonstration?

The Brit goes first.

[the phantom]

So... Who else is left to vote?

[Glirdan]

You, Mira and Nerwen, both of which seem to be MIA

[the phantom]

Nerwen, m'dear? Which way are you voting?

[Nerwen]

ARRGH! Long post about Kath got eaten!

So, briefly:

I don't like the look of her, at all, but on the other hand, I don't particularly care for the members of her lynching party either. (Yeah, that incudes you Sally– who's to say your hints weren't one big bluff?)

And, then, no-one seems to be trying to save her, which isn't a great sign– though there's only two wolves left, it's true...

[Glirdan]

That's time people.

NOTE BEFORE READING: This Narration is mainly for the enjoyment of Kath, Wilwa and myself due to an....well, shall we say rather interesting Freudian Slip on my part

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Gods gathered at the end of the Day for another trying debate on what to do next. Suddenly, they all noticed Hestia sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth...back....and forth.............back...........and forth............................................. ...................When suddenly, she jumped up screaming in a terrible fright and started running around the room in a panic, looking for an exit. She finally found the caved in archway out of the Great Chamber and fled, all the down Mount Olympus and to the sea, where she saw a little rowing boat drifting on the shore.

She ran to it, heedless of the ice cold (and strangely colored) water around her. She hopped in the boat and began rowing out to sea, in an attempt to get away from Olympus, and the insanity that the place had brought to her. She couldn't take the visions like Apollo could. She was being driven mad by them.

She continued to row, and row. It wasn't until she was far out to sea that she finally started to slow down. She laid back and just stared up at the sky......

Hestia awoke with a start, frozen to the bone. She sat up and looked around her and noticed that the sea had completely frozen over. She reached over and touched the surface and drew it back in shock. The sea wasn't just frozen, but was frozen into a milky like substance...like ice cream. She started to clamber out, suddenly quite hungry and started scooping up handfuls of the sea, when she glanced quickly at the side of the boat and noticed the tiny print on the side that was the boat's name: TITANIC. And that's when it hit. A giant ball of ice cream landed right on top of her and The Titanic.

----------------------------------------------------------
BACK ON OLYMPUS

Everyone was gathered around Hestia who was asleep in a corner and pale as death (albeit, Thanatos and Hades are no that pale) and blue lips. Pan reached over and touched her and withdrew his hand quickly, already cold. She was already dead and there was nothing they could do about it.

Arrgh! I know I've missed DL.

No, it's not any kind of ploy. Sorry, my connection just started running so slow that the page is taking minutes to load each time. Just so you know, I'd decided to vote Kath after all.

[Lalaith]

Also, what are your thoughts on Foley?

Well, I don´t know her as a player very well. But given that her fellow wolves would have been Rikae and wilwa, who would have been clued up about the game and the roles, would she really be so confused at this late stage? Would she put this on? I don´t know.
And speaking of wilwa, another point against Kath was that odd defence of her post that wilwa made. (The one Inzil spotted)
Phantom - who knows. Being inscrutable and marching to the beat of his own drum somewhere I expect.

Hmmm, okay, but now I'm curious as to why you're reiterating that. If it's already been made... You kind of look like you're in 'lynch anyone' mode now, Lal.

[Lalaith]

It's pretty standard these Days

I haven't played for a year, I am clearly out of touch....

Shasta, I'm not sure what you mean. On the one hand you say I point out problems with Kath because I want to lynch Kath, and on the other you say I point out problems with Kath because I want to lynch anyone.
Mainly, actually, I just want to vote and go to bed, it´s one oclock in the morning here.

[Lalaith]

Right, I really do need to go to bed now. Socks and sandles it is...
++KATH

Mainly because the dodgy evidence behind her vote for me felt more like a wolf framing an innocent than an innocent genuinely searching for a wolf. It gave me a sense of deja vu (something similar happened with Saucie-wolf many aeons ago)

[satansaloser2005]

Aaaand it got quiet again. Just when I was hoping I'd stirred up a bit of talk.

[Nienna]

I'm here now until bedtime.

I'm not thrilled about a Kath lynch. I don't actually think she's suspicious but if there is a wolf in one of the quiet kids I guess she may be one but I'm still more suspicious of Lal and Nerwen. They just feel off to me.

*sighs*

It's pretty standard these Days for wolf-cubs to act confused– or even to actually be confused, as quite often their packmates deliberately tell them as little as possible, so they won't give themselves away by knowing too much. I'm surprised you don't know that, actually.

I don't say her confusion means she's a wolf, either– it's been a confusing game all round– but it's not an argument against it.

EDIT:X'd with two Shastas; italics; grammar.
