The Midsummer Maulings (WW5)

[the guy who be short]

Well, if people have pressing demands, they should vote now. Holbytlass, I'd prefer to vote durelin, and Firefoot (I think) would prefer Kitanna. I'm not hugely bothered, though. Kitanna probably has more suspicion behind her, so

++Kitanna.

[Mithalwen]

Five hours to go.

Stats:

Werewolves 4
Villagers : 7 (including, seer, guardian and hunter).

Vote wisely!!!!! (Or this could be a very short game).

[Gil-Galad]

...The new Gil-Galad is playing for Sophia, so basically i'm almost a new character with no connection to the old one, so your reasons are incorect because its a different person, besides i don't want to voice too much as i did before, cause i got killed, so why would i do it again and get killed again? pretty stupid if yo uask me and i'm not stupid...

I'll have to agree with TGWBS on this one, Kitanna is gaining much suspicion and is beginning to lose my beleif that she is innocent, i beleive Durelin is innocent...so no hard feelings Kitanna

++Kitanna

I realise I haven't been around much today and for that I apologise but RL illness kept me from appearing this morning when I might have had a chance. This is also why this post is short with little explanation. I will give reasons for everyhting I've been accused of tomorrow (if I'm still alive!). I see that Durelin has voted for me. A move which I find odd as reading back over today she hasn't been suspicious of me once. She hadn't mentioned me once in fact.

However, regardless of that and my earlier suspicion of her, I find myself leaning more towards Kitanna's guilt. Also, with a tie anyone of us could end up lynched so I will go with ++Kitanna partly because I feel she is guilty and partly because I would prefer an outright and chosen person to die rather than someone picked at random who is more likely to be innocent.

[Holbytlass]

++kittana

[Gil-Galad]

so far:

Gil-Galad:1

Kitanna:4

[Firefoot]

I'm going to go ahead and vote for ++Kitanna.

I really do hope she is a werewolf... if not, the score tomorrow will be 5-4 , and if the werewolves should pick the hunter and the hunter chooses wrong, we're all done for... So, seer, if you happen to know about Kitanna, now would be a good time to let us know (otherwise don't say anything).

I really hope this isn't a mistake...

[the guy who be short]

I would ask the Seer to subtly indicate who they know to be guilty and who they know to be innocent for later examination. Unfortunately, this would make them stand out to the wolves. The Seer must do what they think is wise.

Do my eyes deceive me entirely? Are we actually plotting out a bandwagon approach? Do you people realize that with bandwagoning as the accepted option, that nobody's vote can seriously be taken as hard evidence? If we all vote the same, wolves can hide. Or was that your plan, Holby?

I did not see that at all. Let me explain: in your prior post, you had revealed the characterizations of several players. I certainly did not pick up on all of them, and I was impressed. Perhaps t'was the same with Morm, eh? Saying "knowledge of people character" was something that I assumed meant characterization, not role. As for the direct challenge, it was day one, and none of us actually knew what we were talking about (save the wolves, as that's a given). Your response, however, seemed to me somewhat more offensive (as in opposite of defense) than was directly called for.

Holby voted for Gil-galad1 on what was publicly explained as NOT being a knee-jerk reaction, but if you look at her post, she only voted for him after

the evidence (that we do have) against Gil-Galad that TGWBS and Feanor has pointed out gives credit to the gut feelings I've been having

This could easily be a knee-jerk reaction coupled with a bandwagoning. Or, of course, there is the option that I'm dead wrong and she's an innocent and I'm seeing "evidence" where it doesn't exist. It could happen.

One other thing that got me was her response to Oddwen. Oddy said that "nothing is definate" about Holbytlass. This was just a boring comment saying that she wasn't particularly suspicious. Holby jumped at it as a chance to declare her innocence once again: "I'm definately not lupine", or something along those lines. It just struck me as odd... It's not like Oddy was accusing her. And then Oddwen died. In a very disturbing way. I'll never look at high powered explosives the same way again. *shudder*

Any how... All of my "evidence" is shoddy. I know that. I'm just trying to qualify the creepy feeling I got when I saw that Holby is so willing to go along with the crowd. On the plus side, now you've all seen my evidence and can point out where I went wrong with it. Or you can get even more suspicous because of it.

Think of it though... Holby is one of the fairly quiet ones that she suspects herself! Also, she doesn't ever make the first move. She waits to see who people suspect, and latches onto the cause. She was one of the "early" voters for Gil, helping cement his first death, and after she got all defensive against Oddwen for an innocent comment, Oddy died. Take from it what you will, but today's vote for me must go to ++Holby.

[Firefoot]

I'm seriously considering changing my vote to Holbytlass. Fea's post makes about as much sense as anything right now.

and after she got all defensive against Oddwen for an innocent comment, Oddy died.

I had missed this before. All Oddwen said about Holby was "Nothing definite." Then Holby comes back with "Oddwen, I am definite nothing of the lupine persuasion." Holby is either a nervous villager or a defensive werewolf.

Now the million dollar question: if I change my vote, will I be accused of wolvish association with Fea?

Quite possibly. Or, barring that, I'll probably be accused of being a wolf just because I switched.

But I'll go with it. --Kitanna, ++Holbytlass.
