What could this mean. . .

i am having trouble figuring out this mistery !

But i will shortly inform you all of whom i suspect!

Eonwe · 10-02-2005, 01:52 PM

well, anyone have any thoughts about this whole affair?

i only have about and hour and a half left, but i will be checking periodically though...

WaynetheGoblin · 10-02-2005, 02:11 PM

It is a few hours before the death and nobody has voted. My top suspect is gurthang right now. He hasent posted at all. Also thin hasent posted there are both my top suspects. I probely will vote or one of them later like five o clock.

malkatoj · 10-02-2005, 02:32 PM

As promised, i have returned with more suspicions. I had to ask myself the question, who would want to kill a poet? Clearly not Gurthang or Hiriel , as both musicians and librarians enjoy such art forms.

The conclusion I came to is that the only person who would want to kill a poet would likely be a student of the poet who has recieved a poor evaluation. Students are typically young. Looking at our villagers, the youngest would most definitely be the babysitter, usually a student in middle or high school. For this reason, I cast new suspicion on WaynetheGoblin.

Again, I am going to hold off on voting until I hear his alibi. I'd like to see more substance in posts, however, as I tend to find 'empty' posts suspicious, and substance gives us a better idea of who it might be.

Until next time,

Malkatoj

My thoughts on certain people are:

TORE: Is trying to give the impresion that he has no clue what so ever why the wolves chose a man who was just trying to make a honest living. (wolves don't care what you do) I think this might be an atempt to make him look inocent.

Gurthang: Has not been around latly!People who do this with out a good reason, i do not trust!

Thinlomien: same

Jack: same

WaynetheGoblin: "What ever i was babysiting" This sugests that he has been babysitting some sort of Creature at night.

Eonwe: Well Eonwe's look on this killing is that it is some sort of game !

Ay, well... for those of you with little experience with me, it's not frankness that allows me to speak so openly, but rather a warped sense of humor and bad grasp of logic. In plain terms... I've been labelled by the community as bonkers as conkers. In my own terms... I just don't particularly mind if you label me as wolf or not. It would possibly be in your best interest to lynch me early, but at the same time, you would be losing valuable (read: innocent and therefore uncorrupted) insight, so I don't much recommend it. Get used to seemingly random accusations. I tend to spout them on a regular basis. I've coined the term observation by agitation. I watch reactions. Now, to business.

It is our first day after the tragedy of Glirdan, may he rest in peace, and we have naught to go on until at least tonight, galling as it may be to admit. Unless, of course, we happen to have a descendant of Malbeth in the audience that has perceptively dreamt of one of our... shall we say... wooooolves?

Which, if we do, it is quite a bad idea to lynch said person. We want our Seer to stay alive long enough to be of use, no? How to avoid this? There isn't a way. I mean, any way s/he would tell us, the wolves are presumably bright enough to catch on to. So let's forget about saving the seer, since it's too tough to really worry about.

The hunter... no biggie, as also the ranger. The ranger is entirely expendable, as is only truly an asset once the Seer is known. The cobbler... we'll find out more about him/her when the time comes. Day one is a bad time for that sort of thinking.

The wolves... Shall we draw at random? Shall we judge based on post count? Most vocal is obviously a wolf hiding in the spotlight? Bad plan, because that would probably call for lynching me, and I assure you, we don't want that. My recommendation is to kill TOREstel.

Eonwe · 10-02-2005, 02:51 PM

um lets see...

fea you are correct, i think, in that Day 1 will always be slow. everyone is interested in comenting on the death, paying respects to a fallen mod, etc. and there is no real evidence (like there ever is real evidence). so yes, i too think random voting will have to do.

wayne, jack hasn't posted either. does that mean you suspect him (this is creaping me out)?

i have no idea who will get mine.

ps i think i said earlier i would be gone and not back by 10:30. that was false. im hopeing to be back by 9:30 ten max. so we'll see.

you mean I should play something loud?
Malkatoj is sticking his neck out a little, but the person who's really making noise is Feanor Of The Peredhil. I'm not saying either of them is guilty, but what's a jotaklam, some sort of seafood? I'll be watching both of them (I'll be watching everyone, but them mor e then others), especially Fea

malkatoj · 10-02-2005, 03:00 PM

Feanor , you suggest that we kill TORE but you don't explain your reasons. Might I inquire as to why you make such a suggestion?

Your reaction is calm and inquisitive, a sign I'm fond of.

Attaboy. Your reaction is suspicious and paranoid. Another sign I'm fond of, but for different reasons.

Logic is wonderful. We all need a bit here and there... common sense, if you will. Collected thoughts tend to organize our information, while the more compulsive of us (cough me and others cough) lead the charge. You've both given neat reactions, and I'll keep an eye on you both because of it. But ne'er fear, if you've nothing to hide. Martyrdom is an admirable thing.

malkatoj · 10-02-2005, 03:23 PM

Okay, Fea . Missed that part.

WaynetheGoblin · 10-02-2005, 03:29 PM

I said i would and now I will vote for ++Gurthang.

Are you voting for him simply because he has not posted anything? If so, why Gurthang? Why not Thinlómien? You mentioned Thin, but why Gurthang? He still has time to make an appearance.

Thinlómien · 10-08-2005, 09:12 AM

I found something really interesting:

Wayne was the cobbler, so he knew who were wolves. Why would he have voted for a wolf (in a such an early phase)? This proves Gurthang was innocent. If we have found this earlier, poor Gurthang might have been saved from our folliness. Stupid me.

edit: I got this message from Glirdan:

Quote:

What you just said about Wayne is completely wrong. The Cobbler didn't know who the Wolves are. They never have, unless he was PMing everyone secretly, but he wouldn't do a thing like that. Good theory though.

So I was wrong. Why I didn't delete this post is because it awakes suspicions if someone deletes posts. So try no to get annoyed with this stupid post

Bergil · 10-02-2005, 03:37 PM

(and you're too late you can't love a bad day. I played my part, I played your game...)
Fea accuses me, I'm worried, scared, it must be me. BUT, further up the same post, she accuses Malkatoj for being calm and unworried. she seems to be trying to throw suspicion off herself onto anyone untill the tally of 3 wolves is full in our minds. I now truly beleive she is not on our side and, if no better evidence comes along, I may vote for her

Folwren · 10-02-2005, 03:44 PM

Don't panic, Bergil. Lot's of people will be accused, and possibly even voted for today, but only one can be lynched. You'll (probably) have time to prove yourself to people somehow - or in attempting to prove yourself, dig a hole and jump in it. (i.e. prove yourself guilty of wolvery rather than prove your innocence.)

Folwren · 10-02-2005, 03:53 PM

Cross posted with Kitanna. Therefore, I'm double posting. Sorry.

My dear chap, he had to vote for someone. Gurthang and Thin happened to be his two suspects. Would you have jumped on him if he had voted Thin? Why protect Gurthang so fervently? And as for 'he still has time to make an appearance', it's my impression that Wayne doesn't have time to get on and vote again, otherwise he wouldn't be voting this soon, and he might wait for Gurthang to make his appearance.

I wonder if it would be worth while to get Gurthang lynched today, if ony to see if this sudden and suspcicious defence of him from Kitanna means anything....Because, I've a feeling, if he's a wolf, Kitanna is, too.

On second thought, I think that'd probably be a bad idea because he hasn't said anything. His reasons are probably just as innocent as mine. It's likely not because he's trying to avoid us and suspcion.

But, Kitanna, really. That attack on Wayne was highly unnecessary.

Folwren · 10-02-2005, 03:23 PM

*Jack walks in - tired, stiff, and very sore*

Oi, heavens folks, I'm sorry. Totally forgot we had to lynch someone today. Took Blakeney out immediately after seeing Glirdan. Sight shakes me up so awfully, had to clear my head. Then Blakeney decides to act up...blasted horse - would buck, wouldn't he?

How soon do votes have to be cast? I'm a bit muddled, and my bodies as stiff as a poker from the fall, and a sore as...I don't know.

*glanced over the few orders*
Weapons, mainly, huh? I can try. Sorry about that last sword, malkatoj. You sure it was made for six fingers? You know, you might have some man use it someday and then he'll need a bigger handle than you do, because his hand is bigger...

No suspects. Feanor of the Peredhil would be the only one I would be inclined to suspect, but for some reason, I don't suspect her. Even if she did point a finger at me.

For some reason, though, I also got a strange feeling from Sleepy Ranger's first post that inclined me towards thinking he was guilty. There is no evidence that I state, however, so don't ask why.

Till later.
