WW: LXXXVIII - Trouble in the Misty Mountains: Game Thread

[Nerwen]

Gosh, I hope neither of the newbies are evil– they've posted so little we'll never get anything on them.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Ugh. Power outage combined with time change = a Shasta who falls asleep.

You lynched Legate, and he was simply an Ordo. I find myself updating from my phone every time, now, for some reason.

Night starts.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

During the night, Kitanna (Ordo) was eaten by the wolves.

Day starts now.

Also, for those who are wondering, people alive are:

Kath
Boro
Nerwen
Greenie
Inziladun
Laeko_Rundalis
Azura

Both newbies are in danger of being modkilled.

Why? Laeko voted yesterDay.

–Anyway. I am getting most frustrated by this game. Obviously, the wolves have been very clever, with their divide-and-conquer tactics, but I think it only fair to say they've had both luck and help from the village (what with the Hunter deciding to go kamikaze, and all– still scratching my head over that one). Not only that, but the number of ordos who have allowed themselves to be manipulated into going after me... well, again, frustrating. I mean, I suppose I should be flattered everyone fears me so much, but having to be on the defensive Day after Day, and to no purpose, is just draining.

So, who has been doing the manipulating? I was thinking in the Night that, as far as this "get Nerwen" business goes, they're likely taking different sides, with one wolf encouraging suspicion against me and another taking my part, at least to the extent of "saving" me by voting other innocents. Boro+Kit or Zil+Greenie seemed likely pairings, with Wolf 3 one of the newbies. And now that Kit is dead, it's looking like the second option.

Mind you, I can't rule out something more complicated– for example Boro and Zil could be doing a particularly fine, elaborate and well-acted wolf-on-wolf routine. Or we could even be in one of those ill-fated madhouse villages where everyone slaughters each other with only minimal and subtle lupine encouragement. This does happen. All the same, Zil and Greenie are, as of yesterDay, also the players with the most points against them individually.

I must have missed that. Sorry, Laeko!

Azura, however, has posted all of one time on this thread. Shasta v. unhappy.

Agh. What I meant was that because Sally wasn't an obvious Seer, the wolves must have had some reason to pick her over other possible Seers. (It is also possible, of course, that they weren't going after the Seer at all - though that would be a weird thing to do - or that their reason for picking Sally was something else.)

That's fine - and I promise that if I actually do start suspecting you, I'll do it properly.

Also, Nerwen's conviction that the ongoing suspicion of her is result of evil manipulation is, while understandable, also a bit too harsh to my taste. How can you know, as an innocent?
