You know he mentioned something about running away, and so far in the past, it's alway been the suspicious people running away...

I don't know about this one... At the TiGJ thread Valier was singing, that if we lack ideas, we should check the narration - and she told us beforehand to try to make some new things time to time...

So please read this note left by the Three, and check the initial letters:

Quote:
We three are better than thee!
We want your town.
It shall be ours.
Get out, get out while you can!
Or we three shall kill thee one by one.
This is the Puuurrrfect village!
We shall have it even if you don't please!

Signed: The Three
So it makes: WW I GO T W S

Thinlomien / Teleparca?
Wilwarin?
Sleepy?

I just couldn't believe, it would be this simple, but I guess this is worth noticing. Not the least because of concerns about Lommy (by Morm) and some mine about Sleepy (underlining his random-voting early on - although this not the first time he does that).

I don't trust Sleepy on principle, but that's another story. Morm, Glirdan, I'm still waitng on an explanation. "At each other's throats" is rather string language for what was clearly nonsense. Not that I trust Farael, but I think that particular case is full of holes.

And Nogrod, I think it's difficult to call my posts "attacking" considering your chosen style. I'm surprised you haven't started in on some poor victim yet. That's a new trend for you.

I vote random on Day 1 of any game I'm in. And I don't think Valier ever said she'd be revealing our foes, it could very well be one of the gifteds.

Lets try expanding the initials-

Wondering Whose Innocent? Garin Or Taker Wilwarin538

Or it could very well be-

Wondering Whose Innocent? Garin Or Thinlomien/elperaca Wilwarin538

That could very well be a way of pointing out that either Garin or the others are innocent. Now the reason I left out Signed: The Three is because its probably just the verse not the signature.

However, lets have a look at the signature anyway-
Singed: The Three
S T T
See Thinlomien Telperaca

Now then lets do as we're told-

Telperaca-Baker

A baker? Thats a good profession, nothing wrong with it but history has shown that bread and such can be used to pass on information. (ie; hidden inside)

So far Telperaca has only posted once; It seems to be a random vote, nothing suspicious. Voted Eonwe.

Post #41

Now lets have a look at Thinlomien

Thinlomien-Postwoman

A postwoman? Now thats a nod in the direction of messages alright. Lets examine her posts now.

Nothing suspicious about post #33.

And then, she votes Nogrod in post #34, stating that she will re-trace if needed.

Now I don't find anything suspicious about either of them but theres [mayhap] a link from the narrative and the messaging? Maybe they're the Taker-Protector?

Chew on it for a while.

Pipe Oh My!

I just noticed this,
Lets have a look at Roa_Aoife's location-
Location: Someday, I'll rule all of it.

And now compare that with the wolves'/cats' motives-

As they stood and looked down on the village that was to be theirs

Co-incidence? Think about it...

As the jobs were chosen before the roles were handed out, I think that argument is full of holes. Overly analyzing Valier's posts could do little more than distract us.

When you were the mod, your hints were so cryptic that for the most part we ignored them. Only the really obvious clue about THEKa was of any use. We (the innocents) managed to win with out them. (Still enjoyable to read though. When is the short story coming out?)

EDIT: Cross posted. I've had that location since January.... If we're looking at that as evidence, you could go with Farael's avatar- it has ears and a tail.

And Valier could have very well handed out roles based on occupation. In the end your guess is as good as mine, theres no real arguement to this its more of a pick a side and stick with it matter. Over-analyzing anything could distract us, I doubt I plan to go through her current text again, as far as theorizing that goes, I'm done.

Valier isn't me... and the short story will be up along with my website, latest by mid-June. Yes, you've had it since before the game began and that matches what the wolves want, it could be a nod in the right direction and as for Farael, yes he does have an avvie with a tail and those ears but as far as I can tell the narrative has nothing pointing at that... If his avvie had a torn ear, then yes it would've been applicable.

I kind of agree with this one. Sleepy's interpretations might have been a bit overread, but still I think those initials were no coincidence.

What do they mean, is another matter, and I'm not so sure it's wise to delve into them too much. (Maybe the famous "take of four", so the spread-vote scheme - where one is a wolf... or a cat? Or anything...)

But we might benefit from seeing, how people react to them. Sleepy's reaction kind of raises eyebrows: why be so fast to make fun of those hints that Valier had said we should look? could it be, that it was pointing on some right directions...?

Roa: I guess I have never "started on a poor victim". In our first game, as a seer, I knew you were the wolf. In the next one I defended myself against totally ungrounded votes by showing, that I can attack too, if that's what those voters wanted...

Pipe A bit of confusion...

Pardon this short post but Nogrod, what do you mean 'make fun of'? I was offering a serious suggestion not ridculing anything.
