TIG XCIV– WHere the Stars Are Strange (Game thread)

[A Little Green]

First off - Lommy confuses me a lot at the moment.

This looked fishy to me, the need to emphasize her own innocence in a context where it wasn't called for. Some players do that all the time, but I don't think Lommy is one of those so it struck me as odd. On the other hand, the following

Innocents tend to keep track on what they have thought about others, wolves what they have said about others. I have to check the context of this because it basically rockets G55 towards the top of my suspicion list if the context doesn't clarify anything!

looked quite okay to me, a sharp sort of point I'm not sure a wolf would come up with.

A Hunter hint? Why on earth would a Hunter leave hints?

And so basically the only logical explanation would be that Shastawolf would come up with this brilliant scheme to turn the whole village away from voting some fellow Wolf by proposing a completely new lynch. It would have been brilliant scheme, hats off to Roy Harper, but somehow I'd find it really really really bold and such things don't usually happen.

Err- what? Not entirely sure I get this point, or rather, I get the point all right but didn't get the framework. Anyhow, yes, if someone started it, I'd say it was Shasta, regardless of that Nogrod suggested it first. I know Shasta is brilliant as a wolf and I wouldn't put something like this past him, but nothing really points that way in my opinion. Unless he and Lommy are in cahoots, but I've not seen anything that would really support that, either. I'm more curious about Eonwe.

Boro - As others (himself included) have pointed out, he has seemed more himself toDay so I'm, if not letting him completely off the hook, then at least not concentrating on him.

Sally - Truly no idea. She's securely under Rudolph, I hope she'll come out of there soon.

Gal - Hmm. Her jump on the Lommywagon was fishy. Contrary to most others, who see her (over)reaction on Rikae as either suspicious or innocentish, I don't really think it gives us anything about her role. Basically, wolf and innocent alike can and do react emotionally, and I just don't think we can analyze that. (Unless the emotion is faked, which I seriously doubt Gal's was.) Yes, you could claim a wolf might be more prone to overreact, but since feelings are really not something that operate by logic, I don't think we can apply logic to analyzing them.

Shasta - Has been really really sharp, which I like. Leaning innocent this far; the most prominent thing he's done is, to use Legate's word, orchestrating the Bomwagon, but since I can see an innocent Shasta doing that just as well as an evil one, I can't draw conclusions from that either way.

Steve - Not sure about his motives for jumping on the Bomwagon, it came kind of out of the blue. Other than that, a vague bad feeling is all I've got. Would love to reread him if I had the time, which I sadly don't.

Nate - Nice and sharp. Nothing alarming this far.

Pitchwife - At the same time under my radar and somehow - off focus? That's an odd word, but he seems kind of confused and sharp at the same time. Which, I'm sure, is a much clearer phrasing.

Lottie - Strikes me as more innocent than not, kind of more gutsy and bold than as a wolf, I think.

Inziladun - Mr. Confusing. He was odd yesterDay (I think those points have been raised enough times already), but at the same time I think the whole "Zil-Legate-business" was blown quite out of proportion and might have affected the way he acted.

Lommy! - Like I said, she's confusing too. Innocent air, I'd say (though I always say that), but the part I quoted in my previous post, the one where she emphasizes her own innocence, seriously makes me raise my eyebrows.

Nogrod - Someone (was it Shasta?) had an interesting point about him defending Gal. Also and more importantly, I agree with Boro that he's been more reluctant to take the lead than usual - reminds me a bit of a certain RL game where he almost won as a wolf by basically letting us lynch each other while he smirked a bit and poked us to the direction he wished. At the same time, though, he's giving me good vibes (which in itself probably means he's evil since I always suspect him when he's not ).

Legate - He's always wishy-washy, but he seems a bit more nervous this game than usually. Maybe it's the pressure? Another I'd love to reread.
