Game Thread - WW XCIIX - The Meaning Of Death

[the phantom]

Okay, so here's what it comes down to-

Frankly Lottie and Morsul both have more strikes against them, but the thing is it's because they've thrown themselves out there a bit more. I can say a greater number of both positive and negative things about them.

Manwe and Steve seem more non-committal, and I wonder if that's a sign of evil or if it's a hint of disinterest from someone with no role. Their votes seem pretty safe and they both missed one, so strictly on principle (in terms of enforcing the Barrow-Downs gaming standard) they would be the obvious targets, as I'm more content to let a Baddie win if they're noisy and running bold bluffs.

Anyway, the fact that they also seem slightly detached today with their necks on the line... I mean wouldn't an Ordo in danger of being lynched and losing be a bit more... Morsul-ish?

Anyway, less than 30 minutes to vote, and we don't want to wait until the very final minute. So guys- last chance. Make accusations. Toss out theories. Make pleas. Whatever you're going to do, this is it.

Eonwe- are you saying that the only reason Sally would've died is if Lottie is a KM due to the likelihood of Elendil continuing down the chain? (Just trying to see clearly what you're getting at. But of course if Lottie is a KM she could've made up the whole Elendil thing...)

No, they could have just found her innocent, been worried about the hint she was planning on revealing or seen that possible hint that Morsul posted, but it's nonetheless a non-negligible possibility.

edit: fixed wording

[the phantom]

If we tie the vote we can actually survive both today and tomorrow, thus giving Elendil 2 opportunities to dream. He could send a dream of Lottie to Morsul then send Morsul to Steve or something like that. Would that be beneficial?

Meh.... Probably not. And I don't really have the time to explore all the angles on it. Ugh. Wish I wouldn't have had to be gone so long today...

Well, then we have the likelihood of losing an innocent toNight.

[the phantom]

Manwe's only made TWO posts today. On the day of days!

Is he a KM that has given up?

Surely as an innocent he would be more helpful, feeling an obligation to his other innocents, right?

Or is it vice-versa? Would a KM not have had more of an incentive to help his fellow? *sigh*

Eonwe may figure that if he's getting lynched anyway, there's no point in defending himself. But if he is evil, I wonder if his casual attitude about it could indicate that he thinks the final baddie will not get lynched before the game ends.

Oddly enough, Nerwen put up even less of a fight.

This late in the Day, trying to create a tie seems too risky. One person could easily mess it up.

I don't think she had time to. She did say earlier in the Day she had to vote early.

I just don't like the idea of the KMs getting a kill later while they stay safe toDay.

Yeah, it's a little odd to say the least. Morsul seems to be the only one that seems desperate. Now- desperation is seen as guilt by some, but when compared to such... mechanical behavior...

I feel like my hand is sort of being forced here.

[the phantom]

Of course the other reason perhaps Nerwen didn't do a whole lot that day was because she knew Lottie had her pegged and it was all planned, which frankly I'd let them win with that, as it'd be quite an interesting story.

[Loslote]

I almost forgot about DL - if my boy's computer hadn't run out of battery power, forcing me to get off Minecraft, I would have missed it entirely.

As it is, though, I made it by the skin of my teeth.

EDIT: xed with Manwe and tp

[Inziladun]

So what are we doing? All in?

[the phantom]

Okay- obviously this thing can't be left in the hands of the unknowns. Morsul already did his part. Now Lottie, Eonwe, and Manwe need to commit, and QUICK.

[Inziladun]

Lottie gave us Nerwen, so to me that alone gives her more of an innocent feel than the others.

Morsul, if he is a KM, has been very reckless. Could it have been with calculation, hoping everyone would say "That's just Morsul"? Yes. Could he be his usual "suspicious innocent" self? Yes.

Mänwe really is a blank to me, and that's worrisome. I haven't really played with him enough to know his "normal" style, so I'm having to focus on the mere fact that he's really been the grey man here, easy to forget. That's a great ploy for a baddie.

And Steve. The suspicions against him could indeed be explained in a way to make him look innocent.
Then again, it seems to me that he just hasn't been as sharp and probing as I'm used to. I think I'm still ready to make him the choice for toDay, but I'd like to see what others think.

There's something to be said in that, but i'm surprised he's been given such an easy ride lately, his style it may be but he's been very erratic this game. Just as hard to pin down as it is someone who hasn't behaved the same way.

++Eonwe

[Loslote]

You have got to be kidding me. I did *not* expect this wide a spread!

EDIT: xed with two for Steve. Alright then. Nevermind.
