TIG XCIII - Betrayal at Henneth Annûn (Game thread)

[Boromir88]

I wanted to say a few things...

First off. Since Bom's death has given me an epiphany.

My focus on Agan yesterday was mostly out of laziness and excessive pride in refusing to back out of a challenging dance.

And I was going to start with I am going to trust Rune and sally above anyone else today...but well I guess since those BNs are nasty with killing sally, it's down to Rune.

[Inziladun]

Obviously I was off base about Sally, but a dead BN is an excellent consolation prize.

When it was crunch time, I just didn't want Agan lynched and went with Bom, which luckily worked out.

So I guess the question would be, "why Sally?", though it seems obvious due to Bom being evil. I was wondering why they went for her and not me or Rune, but I guess the fact that she basically started the ball rolling on Bom did it.

A good place to start today would be to look back over Bom's posts. But not while I'm having to use this tablet computer.

Why Rune, Boro?

Technology is a wonderful thing, but it's nice to have a real keyboard.

Day 1

I solemnly swear I am up to no Law, Good, or even Neutral. Chaotic Evil all the way!

Also, G55, Sally and I are wolves (first three posters, y'see). Lynch us now.

First post. Funny how he jokingly gave away his alignment. Obviously he's not truthful about the last part.

That'll teach her not to act on the mountain of evidence on Day 1!

Banter about Lottie.

Next poster, don't forget the . Let's see how long we can keep the chain going.

I left that smilie in. Nothing but banter.

We dursn't like Shasta, no, precious, we dursn't like him at all. Nice G55 just seems to want answers and avoid misunderstandings (nasty, nassssty misunderstandings) to me - so would we, were we less busy reveling in the chaos.

Casts some minor suspicion on Shasta, no reason given, and G55. And "revels in the chaos". In retrospect he gave some clues, couching them in jokes.

I dunno. He might be genuine, but attacking me specifically for lack of content just seems odd to me.

And a vote for Rune, which Sally quickly attacked as a "revenge" vote.

Day 2

I wasn't really bothered by PomPom's swift skill - I assumed she'd done what I did, which was to read several games before actually joining one (or the 'Downs themselves). I did consider the alternative but since it was D1 at the time, she got a newbie pass.

Regarding this:



from Shasta, I do believe the problem is: what information? Nog made a total of four posts, all substance-less with the exception of a statement that he thinks both Boro and Agan innocent. No suspicions, and nobody suspected him.

So, we've basically got the same things to discuss as yesterday, except we're now two innocents closer to defeat.

I'll check in periodically to see if the aforementioned wolves decide to poke their heads up, and possibly to mingle with you commons. No promises, though.

Defends Pom's acumen as a newbie. Responds to Shasta, saying Nog didn't leave much to analyze as to why he was killed.

++Aganzir

For whatever reason, she seems the more suspicious of the Boro/Agan pair.

Pops in with a late vote for Agan, but failed to highlight it.

And that's it.

There are many interactions with people, but hardly anything of substance. He said early on he didn't like Shasta, but never mentioned it again. He did defend Pom as well.

His votes were for Rune apparently, as Sally noted, a response to Rune's vote for him. Each was the first vote for the other.

The other vote was for Agan. I think that speaks for her innocence. His vote would have been the third for her, with everyone else in the running for a lynch only with one. There were still many left to vote, and she was obviously the lynch du jour. Maybe he counted on others following up behind him.

I guess it's possible he "forgot" to highlight purposefully, but still you'd think if he and Agan were mates he would have given a vote that counted to someone else

He's been the first and main "lynch Bom" voice since the start. I know sally pointed out she didn't like Bom's revenge vote for Rune.

I admit that can look pre-planned if Rune and Bom were BN's but I don't see why Rune would keep bringing up wanting to lynch Bom for the fact he wasn't being more helpful. And Bom's immediate revenge-vote reaction just doesn't look pre-planned to me. I should have actually listened to sally instead of casting it off as "Bom is being like Bom and let me continue prodding Agan because I'm too lazy to think about anything else."

[Loslote]

During the Boro-Agan battle itself, I didn't really think either one were wolves (though I was more inclined to trust Agan than Boro. But when I read this:

It did not sit well with me. I mean, yes, I accept that whatever it was he was doing yesterDay didn't work and needed to be stopped, but someone the tone just feels...contrived to me, somehow.

It feels like he could have said "I goofed, sorry, moving on to hunt wolves now", but he's not moving on - he's bringing up the point again and dwelling on it, and while he's stopped doing one form of ineffective time-killing, he's moved right on to another. I'm not convinced that Boro's a wolf - far from it, he's only just in that list that goes right before the "Guilty" list and the "Neutral" one that I can't remember the name of - but I'd like to see a lot more productive wolf-hunting before I stop keeping a very close eye on him.

I'm having a somewhat busy day today, and besides that I am baffled. I feel that with Bom being BN I lost the base from all my suspects so far, more or less. Rune gave Bom the final vote and has been wanting him lynched for quite a while, sally's dead, Bom gave Agan a vote he could've seen as final, Inzil voted for Bom as well, though I guess he couldn't have foreseen the rush of votes Bom would get on the final minute. I'll have to look around, but I'm afraid I don't have the time yet. Will try my best later.

Apart for the stuff you say about me, this sums up my thoughts about the votes.

As deadline approached, I found my self questioning the innocence of Aganzir and Inziladun. However the know that we now the role of BomT, they don't look so bad.

Of course it could be that BomT voted Aganzir, because she seemed near doomed and it would make him look good. And as Pommy says, it could be a miscalculation on the part of Inzil. That is unlikely however, since it was clear that Sally wanted to get rid of BomT and I too had been critical of him.

Moving on...

I never quite understood Aganzir's vote for Boromir. She plays along with his antics, states that he acts like this all the time and so on. . . I probably need to read through her posts, but right now it seems to me her reaction has been rather odd.
