Then we have read them differently... I thought, you were trying to stretch them to the limit and make the whole stuff seem absurd.

Ah, just a simple mis-understanding I see. Perhaps now you'll go over them seriously and see if they could mean anything? I've always like recieving second opinions on things.

And Nogrod, I trust you. In my opinion, you're not a wolf/cat, I just hope that I'm not mis-placing my trust.

Current Vote Count

Eonwe (Farael, Formendacil, Telperaca) - 3
Farael (Alcarillo) - 1
Nogrod (Thinlomien) - 1
Kitanna (Sleepy Ranger) - 1

There seems to a be a bit of an Eonwe band-wagon here.
Note: Three votes may not be a lot but they do account for 50% of the current number of votes.

Anyone else finds a pattern between three voters very disturbing?

Eonwe, Thinlomiel and Sleepy Ranger have all said that they voted randomly. Furthermore, Sleepy has been talking a lot but being really useless

What's that cautionary remark that 50% of the voters have voted for Eonwe? its only THREE VOTERS in a village with fifteen (or more) people in it. The only chance the three current votes add up to a majority is if the remaining nine or ten people to vote decide to spread their votes over SIX other people.... how likely is that?

So I say, Eonwe, Thinlomiel and Sleepy are our werewolves.... let's get rid of Eonwe and Sleepy today (double-lynches are allowed, right?).

Oh, and for those of you who criticise me for drawing attention to my day 1 bantering.... *cough MORM cough* I just found it so ridiculously dumb that anyone could make anything out of my discussion with Diamond I just HAD TO.

You're not serious, are you? You certainly make me confused.

What is so especially wolvish about random votes? Based on my knowledge both innocents and werepeople use them, especially on Day 1.

A lot of people vote randomly on Day 1, and I haven't intentionaly been making myself useless and if I come across as such well meh, then I guess I'll just shut up and watch rather than be an annoying participant.

I don't know if you're intentionally mis-reading what I said or what but I said its 50% of the current number of votes. ie; 50% of 6, I didn't make a big deal about it, I acknowledged that its not a lot taking the whole village into account but if you look at just the 6 votes then yes it is a lot.

No double-lynching isn't allowed and I find your eagerness to be somewhat disturbing, as if you're trying to find a way to minimize numbers quickly? Hiding something dear Farael?

I may be wrong but this strikes me as a hypocrytical remark. You have a look at others based on 'banters' (that is at least what you called mine) and then you tell people off for watching you due to bantering? Farael you're beginning to seem rather jumpy/fishy to me...

And I got the impression he (Sleepy) was noting the current trend.

I'd like to suspect Telperaca for a very vague vote which is actually quite random (or so I believe), but as she's a newcomer I will be gentle to her, unless she shows real suspiciousness.

That post was in response to Farael saying I was making a big deal out of nothing, he pointed it out in figures and replied in the same. Sorry for the confusion dear Thinlo.

Don't mind me.... I'm annoying like that. Please, do participate =)

My point is that it was a completely unneccesary remark... and I tend to suspect those who make completely unnecesary remarks, as they are a good way to look helpful but add nothing

Make of it what you'd like, Mr. Sleepy.... maybe I am trying to minimize numbers.... the number of werecats!!!!

No, as far as I can recall, I've only accused people on random votes and unnecesary comments.... if I accused anyone on a banter, it was a banter of my own and I've only bantered with Diamond, Kath and Glirdan to some extent. Other than that, I've been making relatively serious posts.

Oh, Sleepy the last game I played in three different people who were later revealed innocents tried to explain me how double-lynchings benefit the innocents more than the wolves. And I managed to understand it the third time. So I don't consider Farael suspicious because of that, though on Day 1 when all is pretty random the double-lynch maybe isn't the sanest choice.

I'm back... a bit early too, for that matter.

And, you know, I'm still entranced with this whole retractable votes business. I love it, really!

(I also rather like my "not going to read any posts this game" idea, but I don't think it'll fly.)

-- Eonwe

And now...

Who to vote for???

This being a Day 1, and being rather drunk on sillyness, I think its time to start a vendetta.

Farael! You guilty traitor!!! You vile Lover!!! Seducing one of the Werewolves to the ruin of us all!!! I want you dead!

++ Farael.

P.S. I love this game.

I disagree with Nogrod and Roa. I think the hints might come in handy, though we shouldn't let them to be the main point.

Nogrod, a few points about your thing. Why should WW mean wereCat? Cat begins with a c. And how do you interpret "I go"? I don't think your interpretation makes sense; there are too much flaws. And Sleepy's versions hardly make any more sense. I don't say I could make up anything better, though.

I can't say anything about today's posts really. Now, I'm probably going to skim through them more carefully so I can change my vote if necessary.

I am concerned by Alcarillo's vote followed by a preemptive apology. This is a common wolf ..er ...cat practice.

As for hints from the mod, I'm not really convinced, especially by the amount of interpretations they are inspiring.

Sleepy
seems to be already speculating who the gifteds are, this make me uncomfortable.

Diamond said I was a possible cat. This I don't like because I know I am not .

I admire this line. Whether you're a cat or not, you haven't lied. Clever play, master Garin...

I think the following is more interesting still:

V1. Farael voting Eonwe:
Quote:
What easier way for a werecat to hide than to cast a random vote? Eonwe already knows what that could lead to ---
Anyhow, I think that Eonwe is playing fool because he knows it'll keep him safe
V2. Alcarillo voting Farael:
Quote:
Farael seems a bit eager to vote and spread suspicion. His vote for Eonwe looks like it's on shaky ground to me. My gut feeling is that I might vote for 'im. Plus I don't like the way he's askin' what's wrong with everybody.
V3. Form voting for himself and immediately Eonwe:
Quote:
++ Formendacil.
Ermm... that's not such a wise tactic I guess.
-- Formendacil
++ Eonwe
Not for any particular reason... I just have found him totally perplexing in past games, and I'd just as soon be rid of perplexing things: perplexing and I don't get along well.
V4. Lommy voting Nogrod:
Quote:
in case I won't be back. That's hunch-based, nothing else. I hope I can return and cast a more reasonable vote.
V5. Telperaca voting Eonwe:
Quote:
You know he mentioned something about running away, and so far in the past, it's alway been the suspicious people running away...
V6. Sleepy voting Kitanna:
Quote:
Todays going to be a busy day for me so I doubt I can post much. Expect a random vote later on. ---
Random Post my aide has just informed me that Garin is obviously the protector and that Kitanna is definately up to something...
Read it as you wish...
