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.

Edit: Fixed quotes

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.

If you really wish (though it sounds like 'luumu' which is Finnish and means 'plum') and if you don't mind me calling you Faraeel (a nice typo I made in my latest post).

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.

Formy, your style makes me uneasy. You're changing from a bandwagon that people started to be concerned about to a person who's earning a lot of suspicion right now. Wolfy, perhaps...

edit: Not wolfy of course - stupid me. Cat-like.

Aha!

An even more worthy target!!!

++ Thinlómien

You evil person! You RUINED me in the last game- you and your comrades of evil, going around ruining the hopes and dreams of Werewolves! I hate you, I hate you all!!!

And yes, I am a Werewolf- however did you guess? But a Werecat? Never... Just let one of those little pussies come hither, and I'll snap them in two.

(Three vote changes down, maximum of two to go...)

...and now when I pointed your cattishness out, you're again changing your vote just for the sake of retractables. I see you enjoy the game. Though, maybe a cat wouldn't be so bold or so stupid, but then again you might be counting on that we believe so.

Well I've consulted my mousers and they are of little help:

1) They want more tuna.
2) They want more catnip.
3) Even if they knew the identity of a 250 pound Werecat they would just hide under my bed while I was being massacred.

Eonwe, I still have my eye on you because announcing a totally random vote is a nice way to disregard killing an innocent on the next day.

Garin and many more people: try to be a bit more substantial. I hope that the one-post posters re-appear before sunset.

Anyway, I have to go and won't be returning toDay. Good night!
