Hang on, where's this "Eonwe is different toDay = wolf" thing come from? *Is* he different?

I am. A bit creeped by Loslote agreeing with me but my likeliest vote is Inzil for the reasons I gave earlier. However I am not sure I like Eonwe being so bossy over the dead vote. Can anyone reassure me there is no way wolves could bend a preagreed system to their advantage should death stymy their usual communication?

I think that's what we're all worried about.

Well I think the only way is if there are more wolves in the Dead thread than innocents. The only time I recall the "using the empower vote for dead to send info" really blowing up is when the Living had a set plan and then randomly somehow before the DL changed those plans which left the Dead confused on what to do.

I am intrigued though by Nog's different use of the empower vote as a way for the Dead to put in their collective "advisor" role for the living.

Yes I remember that too. Weirdly I can't remember in which thread I was at the time, dead or alive, but I do remember chaos.

I was definitely in the living thread that time.

Do I have to give a reason for my vote?

It is considered good form to do so.

So, I've been reading through Eonwe's posts, and I'm not seeing this alleged big shift in playing style between Day One and Day Two.

I'm not saying he couldn't be a baddie hiding behind his "Dead Thread" scheme, but if that's what he's doing he was doing it already.

Edit: x'd with Pervinca.

Will vote Loslote today, for reasons given previously. Her and Boro have been the only ones causing me raised eyebrows so far. Of course, it's always easier to find something suspicious in someone who's posting plenty.

So all of the chatter about Dun bothers me more than Dun's own words. My intention at this point is to take a stab at someone in that conversation, though at this point, that's sort of everyone.

In less vague news, my gut reaction is to not trust Lottie.

As one more point, why are we talking about the EW potentially killing his or her own wolf? I fail to see how the wizard could benefit from this in any way. There is a wolf, and the wolf killed Morsul.

To be honest, I'm not actually as dead-set on it as might appear from my posting. It's just that I seem to be the only one who is actually suggesting some kind of system. I'd hoped that by trying to fully detail it yesterDay, people might actually discuss it and work out what they think about it etc., but other than some vague agreement with the idea and Nogrod's very strong insistence that it's a bad idea, not many seem to have directly engaged with it. Oh well...

In any case, I just like the idea of having some kind of accepted system to fall back on. Obviously things might change over the course of the game, but I imagine Days will be (or at least on the surface appear to be until we actually know roles) relatively uneventful, and it will be good to have something to fall back on at least. And especially in these early Days when we know so little, it would be good to get some kind of steady stream of information (even if limited).


edit: x-ed since Pervinca. Also, that was meant to be 'some Days' (obviously some will be exciting!)

People who I'm relatively happy with
Eomer - Hasn't really posted that much, but seems reasonable and talks sense when he does talk.
Lalaith - Same as Eomer
Nogrod - I mean, I still disagree with him (though he does raise some good points), but I don't think he's said anything that makes me particularly suspicious.
Nerwen - For now, nothing seems too bad. I'm not completely sure how I feel about Zil, but I don't find her suspicion suspicious.

Not quite in the clear
Legate
Lommy

Red Flags
Lottie - I really just can't shake the feeling that she's up to something. Also, I obviously can't tell whether I seem different toDay from yesterDay, but I did feel like she kind of threw that out there with not much evidence (which apparently convinced Lommy).
Zil - I do think he overreacted a bit to Nerwen's accusation.
Boro - All the weirdness.

Not sure how I feel
Mithalwen - I'd like to hear more of her thoughts on people.

Need to post more
Sally
Pervinca
Brinn
Shasta



I don't think I have time to go into more detail, but I'd like to look more at Legate and Lommy tomorrow if I'm still alive (well I suppose actually also if I'm dead, but that'll be on the other thread).

Was it Lottie who stated this discussion of you changing and thence being suspicious? I think no one has time to go and find it out now, but you Eönwe might remember it as it concerns you.

I mean that's one suspicion I couldn't find anything but fabricated or at least far-fetched and would like to know who came up with it and how.

Yeah, it was in response to my EW-Lottie+Boro-wolf post.

Inzil -> Nerwen
Lommy -> Eönwe
Eomer -> Lottie
Lalaith -> Eomer
Legate -> Boro
Mith -> Inzil
Nogrod -> Eönwe 2
Brinn -> Nerwen 2
Pervinca -> Inzil 2
Nerwen -> Inzil 3
Lottie -> Inzil 4

Whatever it weill be, let's not make it a draw again.

Declare your voting beforehand, please. Otherwise we'll be very suspicious of you toMorrow if you come from behind the tree and vote to tie it at the last minute.


EDIT: X'd with Lottie's vote & updated the list.

If people are okay with this result, then fine.

If not, speak up.

Yeah, that was me, and I admitted that it was far-fetched, but it was what I saw and I wanted to go on the record as having seen it, if only because if I died before I could say it and he turned out to be evil I would definitely regret not having said something.

I would rather vote him over Eönwë anyway, and it looks like the votes are swinging that direction.
