![]() But looking at this game (with the Dead Thread aka. no one is actually booted out of the game - and that changes everything) I still wonder how differently people think. I mean I'm happy to go to the Dead Thread as I have nothing to worry (if I'm lynched no gifted is lynched - and lynching a wolf is anyway a remarkable deed - so an innocent goes every now and then) and I think an innocent tp would think the same as well. But he clearly doesn't - and that's why I suspect him. So Lommy: I do suspect him and made the point in my post up there (#172) - like Agan he was overly defensive in his quick reactions. Quote:
The dead will basically know 1/3 of the roles - well alignments - there's a lot of rom for distraction, tom-foolery, laziness, well made plots etc. to twist the vote of the dead not being what the Living would like it to be - or think they could interpret it to be.

Not that I trust the phantom, necessarily, but it's a plan that can get us some of the dead's information, and therefore, a good idea. I'm not sure what you mean. The living would finish voting early, so the dead would already know who voted for whom before choosing who to empower. Quote:

Ha!
"True" that I'm hitting it out of the park. Not the "Rikae is evil" part.

Huh. So that happened.
Phantom I understand -who doesn't want to kill Phantom- but why Rune?

Rune seemed very opposed to a Day 1 vote, and I got the feeling he was worried he'd end up on the chopping block.
I could see someone thinking that was seerish. |

I mean a Day 1 lynch. As opposed to a tie.

I'll look Rune's posts over. (Not phantom's. I mean, come on!)
In other news, I think the narration indicates both Lovers are still alive.

First thoughts.
tp was mostly occupied with his scheming, not wolf-hunting. He did suspect four people in #130: Nogrod, Loslote, Firefoot, and me. His innocent list contains exactly four people as well, interestingly. If he was the seer, he would have left some hidden hint as to which two of those four people were actually guilty. I don't see one, however. Maybe it's somewhere I didn't look. But why was he killed? Just because he looked innocent (many argued with him, but I don't recall anyone suspecting him) and made himself the village leader? Possible. Or maybe there is in fact a wolf (or even two? wishful thinking) among his four suspects. Did Nogrod's mates take revenge? Did wolf-Lottie or wolf-Firefoot get nervous? Possible, but it doesn't seem likely. Rune didn't do much, but he was, well, tense, without much reason. Could be the wolves took that as a sign of giftedness. His vote was for Formendacil, but it doesn't look like the vote was because he dreamt of him, but just because he was there. He also suspected Greenie, but again, not in a way that looks seer-ish to me. If he was gifted, then he wasn't the seer, and obviously not the hunter either. Losing ranger or lovers this early would hurt us. They're not bringing anything of value back to us at this point. The voting yesterDay was interesting. A bunch of odd votes for Formendacil, then the bandwaggon for Aganzir, which was overtaken by the Nogrod express train. Form giving himself the third vote makes it very unlikely that he's gifted (I think I may say this much openly), but I also think it makes it unlikely for him to be a wolf. Very risky move there, and without any pressure. Aganzir remains suspicious to me, which, before Nogrod started receiving votes, makes me wonder why none of her mates voted for Form. Maybe they already voted earlier, maybe they were waiting, or maybe she's not a wolf after all. In any case, I think the early Nogrod voters are actually quite innocent-looking at the moment (yes, I know, wolves hunt wolves in this game). There were simply easier targets available to them at that point. I'm grasping straws a little.

I only have about five minutes to post right now, so sorry I can't be more helpful with quotes and references.
I was looking at the way the Nogrod bandwagon developed and it's really quite odd. Both phantom and B88 mention suspicions of him back on page 4, which is where Nogrod started gaining suspicion, but still most people were somewhere in between "maybe suspicious but not gonna vote for him" and "seems ok" with their read on him. The people who voted for him are mostly really conspicuously absent from that discussion (they weren't posting at all though so it could be a timezone/timing thing). That makes Lottie, Eomer, Shasta, and Satan all potentially suspicious to me - at least worthy of a closer look. Also, finally realized now that Lottie is loslote. And given that, she also mentions a suspicion of Nogrod on page 5 before the voting really gets going.

Writing stuff down as I go through the early day posting.
There's something odd going on in #247,248,250: First, Sally suggests Rune might have been a wolf killed by the other wolves. I'm not following her reasoning really. Also, I don't think that's their priority yet. Then Morm is all over it for this reason, which is ok, but also because she's "trying to make a case against a dead man". How else are we going to figure something out at this point before we get any evidence back from the dead? Then Lottie is all over morm for being "weirdly defensive", making him highly suspicious. I get criticizing him, but that's too quick over too little. ...aaand then Greenie mentions the exact same thing, just more eloquently. Well, actually not the exact same thing, since I'm raising half an eyebrow at morm, too. Firefoot, I really don't think you can base any suspicions on whether people wanted a tied vote or not. I mean, you yourself give reason why both goodies and baddies could be for or against it. Quote:

Can we edit the werewolf sticky? ![]() Actually, though, the beginning of Legate's post 270 doesn't sit right with me. It's almost all about why the phantom was the one and only logical choice for the wolves (highly debateable), and then he concludes that phantom must have been a wolf because both packs didn't go for him (jumping to conclusion). I mean, come on. Quote:

About phantom hinting at hunter-ism with his "kill me" post. Hunters have awfully bad chances early in the game, and the phantom should know this, and therefore would not make a post like that until he has a thorough grasp on who to take down with him, which I don't think he had yet. Of course, this doesn't mean the wolves didn't interpret it this way. Previewing my post... what an ugly mess of quotes and comments. I offer apologies. |

Commenting as I read
Macalaure seems horribly... mischevious? Carefree? I think that might be indicative of him being an ordo who's just decided to enjoy the ride.

It's really quite impossible to make much sensible stuff out of yesterDay's votes without knowing Nogrod's role (grumble grumble).
Agan is unlikely to be in cahoots with Mith, Mccaber or Mac (hard to imagine the wolves would aim to sacrifice each other because it doesn't even make them look good with the undisclosed roles). Likewise it's unlikely Nogrod's packmates were the phantom, Lottie, Shasta, Eomer or Sally. Form does look innocent. ...and that's it. Now, as I still think it's pretty likely Agan is a wolf (yes, my reason might seem like a small thing, but 1) it's this kind of small things that are actual clues and 2) it's not like I have a better idea), I'm going to sacrifice a moment for thinking who might (have) be(en) her packmate. Basically it boils down to the nogawagon bunch: the phantom, Lottie, Shasta, Eomer and Sally. Interestingly enough, I already suspected Sally yesterDay. This hardly makes her look better to me. Lottie? Shasta? Eomer? Hmmm, maybe. Entertaining myself with the idea that the phantom was Agan's packmate and tried to save her. (Yes, he would totally do that, especially in a game like this.) Then the other wolfgang ( ) killed him, would've served him right. But really, the above is just all flimsy speculation... A quick list, including the dead: (reasoning attached if it hasn't been mentioned before or is other than gut feeling/ general impression) Innocent Lalaith Mac Legate Rikae - I disagree with them a lot but I think they're likely innocent Form - I disagree with him a lot but I think he's very likely innocent morm Rune Nilp Questionable Greenie - she just seems too sensible to me? Firefoot - I agree she's throwing wishy washy suspicion around Shasta Eomer Lottie the phantom Nogrod Kath Gwath McCaber Nerwen Mith Wolfy Agan Sally Boro - he's starting to rub me the wrong way really bad toDay; he just seems terribly fake (sorry muffin) That was very substantial. I don't know if I should really just go with my gut/ the few points I've noticed and accept this is a different kind of game, or whether I should feel properly shamed about my lack of analytical thinking and do something about it. I mean, I DO think I'm onto something with Agan so it's not like my brain's not working, but I'm still not very happy about the fact that my suspicion list looks very similar to how it looked like late yesterDay - toDay has hardly changed anything so far. Sorry if this post seems like it was written by a scatterbrain, that's how I feel. (I've had a long day and too little sleep three nights in a row. Definitely going to bed earlier today. Meaning, soon.) edit. xed with everyone

So...yesterday I was feeling that Greenie made sense and this hasn't changed today. Nerwen and Loslote also seem mostly clear and helpful - (although having said that, Loslote's post 260 completely lost me, and did Nerwen explain her missing the vote yesterday?).
Rikae and Lommy fluctuate between clarity and obscurity. Firefoot seems to me to be chasing red herrings but that doesn't necessarily mean she's guilty - in a mad game like this, one woman's red herring is another's vital clue. Legate confused me yesterday and still continues to do so today. Half the time he seems to be setting up an argument only to knock it down. Boro and Mac make me uneasy. The rest, I don't know. Having said all that, I am still pursuing the thesis I began to set up this morning. Yes, the Nog bandwaggon probably contains at least one wolf but it is very difficult to decide who they/he/she was. Aganzir looks the most ropey to me, not just because of her behaviour and not just because the Nog bandwaggon saved her, but because the Nog bandwaggon only began once he'd named her as someone he would vote for. So, because unlike some of my fellow Europeans I do not have the steely stamina to stay at my keyboard til dawn, I'm going to vote now. ++Aganzir edit: x-post with Lommy

Well, I have a minute and neither of them posted much, so:
Loslote: Day 1 12 - Banter 22 - Arguing against tying the vote. Interesting reasoning: if we can lynch a wolf from each pack, the wolves will turn on each other instead of trying to kill gifteds, so we should take a chance to lynch a wolf, or so I gather. Seems an odd line of reasoning - we want to lynch a wolf in general, after all, and the wolves are against each other already (or at least, want to whittle the other pack down), and even if they are down one, they are most likely to prioritize the seer while s/he is at large in any event. So, odd. Maybe wolfish, just for thinking in terms of whittling down (the other) wolf pack. 23 - Clarifies about responding to phantom. 28 - False reveal is unlikely, but possible. Concerned about the dead deceiving us. 48 - Village has a 25% chance of lynching a wolf, wolves at night have a 15% chance. Actually wrong (though I didn't realize it at the time) because of the two kills: it's actually 27.75 that the wolves kill a wolf. Also, the wolves had a higher chance of killing a gifted than the 25% she gives: 43.75% (wow). Could just be mistaken math. I thought it was right at first, too. However, it does mislead. 54 -Against a tie because of last post, also against letting dead decide lynch (so that people leave trails with their votes). 196 -Doesn't think Agan is suspicious, suspects Nog. Pre-Nogawagon. 205 -Don't rule Nog, Agan, Lommy out for being in the spotlight. because it's their playing style. 220 - Votes Nog. Overall, looks safe, fairly consistent in pursuing Nog (little too consistent? I'm not sure), said some misleading things. Bad vibes. Day 2 250 - Sally's theory about Rune being killed for looking wolfish not too far fetched. Well, it is far fetched (says me). Far-fetched theories are a specialty of Sally's, though, so I find Lottie's defense of it (and subsequent suspicion of Morm) much more worrying. 260 - Theorizing that a third packmate (not Morm) was implicated by Rune's death, and Morm's trying to protect that person. Ok, this is getting really convoluted and is based on something unlikely (Rune being a wolf) in the first place. Looks like trying to patch together a theory after the fact. Innocents can do that too sometimes, of course, to back up a hunch or an unformed impression. No conclusion. 293 - Continues defending her theory. Now, I agree with her that wolves don't just go for gifteds, but it remains their top priority, and Rune looking gifted seems to have more basis in, well, his actual posts. Her "the other pack went for phantom" argument seems especially odd. She's accusing morm of being a wolf who knows the truth of the night kill, but that's actually the feeling I get from her. That is, maybe her pack actually did think Rune was a wolf, so that theory seems most reasonable to her, and therefore morm seems like an easy (and possibly enemy-wolfish) target for speaking against it? 296 - Votes morm "for reasons stated above". Conclusion: There's much to raise an eyebrow here. I could vote for Lottie. Edit: X'd with Shasta onwards. |

So my brain isn't working and I can't get anything done and keep absentmindedly refreshing the thread to see if anyone has said anything I could reply to with a one-liner.
Half an hour later. This really isn't working. So all you're getting is very general impressions and my sincere apologies and no actual evidence. GUILTY
INNOCENT
EITHER

I apologised for having upset her. I never said she looked innocent.

Okay, some lists:
Innocent? Nerwen - seems very reasonable Form - the vote for himself seems very ordo-ish Rikae - I suppose I'll get harped on for wishy-washiness again here, but after looking at her posts I don't know what was setting off warning bells except maybe her tone sometimes. morm - I'm following his thinking most of the time and mostly agreeing B88 - Acting very consistently shasta - Just can't find anything suspicious I keep going back and forth/can't get a read at all Mith - no read Eomer - not enough posts (weird because I remember Eomer as a prolific poster - but then again, I used to be to - life changes, I guess); the Nogrod vote is a little suspicious to me Lal - haven't spent much time looking at her posts, maybe seems okay Nilp - no clue Kath - Every other thing she does I change my mind. The vote for Form is strange Lommy - I don't understand her spat with Agan Greenie - no read Legate - seems okay? Sally - Her posts also seem mostly okay, mostly here for Nogrod vote Gwath - no posts Agan - See the comment on Lommy Suspicious Lottie - See my comment at the start of the day - maybe chasing this tie thing really isn't useful, but she just feels suspicious to me Macalaure - My suspicion of him has grown since the start of the day McCaber - hasn't done anything to change my feelings today. At this point I'm probably going to vote for Mac, but am open to persuasion. |
