TIG XCIII - Betrayal at Henneth Annûn (Game thread)

[Aganzir]

Okay I'm going to cross with a lot because I went to have dinner midway through writing this post.

You conveniently failed to note the post where I stated my main reasons for thinking about voting for her:

Agan hesitated because she was, especially as the deadline drew nearer, worried she had accidentally poked a gifted. If you don't see why, go read her last posts again. But there's no way to tell who's a real gifted and who's just giving vague hints in order to be saved, and as Gal didn't reveal, I thought she'd be safe to lynch. There's hesitation for you. Convenient, eh?

I don't like in the least the way Greenie seems to be twisting things. I don't know how obvious my doubts about Gal were or if it even occurred to anybody else, but it seems to me Greenie is intentionally ignoring it. Also, while suspecting me doesn't necessarily make her evil, I'm about the most convenient suspect she can choose if she needs to accuse an innocent because everyone knows we argue all the time anyway.

Would you be content if I had pursued a strong and misguided suspicion without a backward glance on day 1? Would that make me seem more innocent? I was hesitant because I was by no means convinced of her guilt. She was my best bet so far, but I voted her in order to eliminate someone I'd continue to be suspicious of in the future, rather than to lynch someone I was sure was a wolf.

You, sir, are a misguided voyeur. Anyway should I take the last sentence as a confession?

A word or two about Boromir. When he's innocent, he plays the seer in order to protect the real one. He even does that when he's the seer himself because everyone is used to it, or because no one would think the real seer would be so obvious, or something. What I thought after his first posts was, "He's either the seer who's dreamed of me and wants to get my attention in order to do some shiny plotting (and in case you wonder about his suspicion of me, it does compute. He could totally have faked suspecting his known innocent for a while if it had saved him a night or two), or he's a wolf who wants me to believe that. Or then he's an ordo, but if that's the case he's up to something I simply don't understand." You know why? Because his tone was as ungenuine as it gets. It wasn't something one just thought when you read a post, it was something you had planned to do and jumped at the first opportunity to do it. What he said was not honest, but as I said, an innocent Boro might not be always honest either. I wasn't sure of his intentions until his ever continuing suspicion and vote for me, and I can't say I'm even now sure he's a wolf, but when we're talking about him, that's a lot more likely than stubborn and misguided innocent.

Of course it is possible he's underestimating me as a wolf, or I'm overestimating myself as a wolf (even if that's not very likely ), and we're in fact two innocents too enthusiastic about our little dance to back off, but if that's so, we'll have to choose a different dance next time that doesn't make our heads spin so badly. That involves him not trying to test me, me not realising he's doing it, and both of us playing accordingly ever since.

Anyway, the part he's trying to play now is lynching me. I'm very much amused by the whole thing, and it's something I probably shouldn't say aloud because I understand our interaction must look interesting enough to you all even without it, but I can't really help it. I'm rather sure I'll be voting for Boro today, for two reasons: one, what I just said about him. Two, when a mutual suspicion gets this far, I won't have eyes for anyone else. So whoever is/are wolves beside Boro & Greenie will have a moment of peace right now.

I should add, Boro, dancing with you is in many ways much more fun than Greenie.
