Alca
Day 1
1st post - starting nonsense, says he hates Day 1because there's barely anything to go on. Will have to vote early because of time zones. Prefers gut voting on Day 1. Points to Farael for eagerness to vote and spread blame.
2nd - Votes Farael and apologizes

Day 2
1st - Has to vote early, Votes Wilwa, for general suspiciousness, and believes Glirdan's argument about Sleepy's response, may change vote later if reason and opportunity present themselves

Day 3
1st - Votes Telp, says we need to put our minds to ease about her

Day 4
1st - Votes Form based on quote from Diamond, and admitted retribution (I believe this statement is a nonsense statement.)

My mistake, he did vote yesterday. He to give a reasoning behind his votes, but alot of it is merely repeating everything that other's have said. I don't know if this makes him a Cat or a villager with little time to analyze on his own. (I've never played with him. Is this how he usually is?) His votes could all be construed as safe, or it could be that he's going with who he thinks is suspicious. I would find it very odd for a werecat to be so quiet at this stage, but he could be trying to slip through the cracks. I wouldn't say his vote for Wilwa exonerates him, since it was the second vote for her, and was therefore in safe position as Wilwa still could have been saved. I'm hesitant about attacking someone who isn't around enough to offer a defense, though.

[epiphany]
This game could go either way right now. Looking at a worse case scenario:

Today we lynch someone off the list, narrowing it to three.
Tonight, a known innocent is killed.
Tomorrow we lynch someone off the list, narrowing it to two (at which point one person will be certain of the cat's identity.)
Tomorrow night a known innocent is killed.
The next day an innocent is lynched, and the cat wins.

Naturally the cat would have to be extremely clever to pull this off, but having survived this long and having left us so lost as to his/her identity, I think it's safe to say this is a clever cat.

Farael's up next.

Farael
Day 1
1st post - Nonsense post (suggests Kath is a werewolf I think this is nonsense too.)
2nd - Nonsense post to Diamond
3rd - suspects Eonwe for random vote theory, says Eonwe may be trying to be so obviously suspicious that no one will suspect him, refers to previous game where he was a wolf who used that very tactic to fly under the radar. Votes Eonwe.
4th - Responds to Roa, wonders why noone is noting his comment about Kath, thinks his Diamond comments are minor in comparison, says he's not voting for Eonwe for random voting, but because we should vote between the most suspicious of the day
5th - responds to Alca, says the apology worries him, issues a pardon in event of lynching, thinks the apology sounds reasonable, points to his own exchange with Glirdan
6th - remarks about a pattern between three voters (Eonwe, Thin, and Sleepy) says Sleepy's being useless, asks Sleepy about remark on Eonwe bandwagon, says Sleepy, Thin and Eonwe are the werecats, wants to double lynch Eonwe and Sleepy. Says he drew attention to his bantering because accusations about it were ridiculous
7th - Response to Sleepy, says he suspects people who make unnecessary remarks
8th - Apology to Thin for name mix up
9th - Advises leaving Form alone for Day 1, stands by belief on Cats
10th - likes how the village is talkative, changes vote to Sleepy "because Sleepy is clearly as jumpy as I am"

Day 3
1st - Finds it interesting that the Cat didn't kill Eonwe to frame him, Votes Eonwe

Several things pop out at me here. There's this:

Quote:
says Eonwe may be trying to be so obviously suspicious that no one will suspect him, refers to previous game where he was a wolf who used that very tactic to fly under the radar
after which he proceeds to continually point suspicion at himself.

Then there's this:

Quote:

You think Sleepy is a Cat because he's acting like you? That doesn't really make sense. What are you trying to say?

And then:

Quote:

No they weren't. The random voters you suspected were Thin, Sleepy, and Eonwe. The two cats lynched were Wilwa and Sleepy. Wilwa attempted to pass off a form of rationale on her vote, so avoided randomness.

Septuplet posting! It's a record!

I must be sleeping now, so I don't have time to do Kath. I can try in roughly 9 hours, unless someone wants to do that while I'm gone.

Actually, no. The village will win- in spite of some last minute idiocy on Diamond- and Morm's- part.

The reason being is that I dreamed of Morm.

For the last Day I have been tagging along as his sidekick, offering him a sounding board to his ideas and generally being a second opinion. We had decided, overnight, to have me pretend that I dreamed of someone else, some Innocent or other, so as to give me cover should Morm die.

Well, Morm did die, and it is my duty to give you his list of dreams. Of our living village, we have:

Roa-Aoife-Folklorist -unknown
Garin-Weathered former mercenary -unknown Morm believed him innocent, I'm not entirely positive.
Kath-Ale drinker - Innocent
Alcarillo-Fisherman -unknown
Eonwe-Wayfaring stranger -I really wish I could remember if Morm had dreamed of him or not... I'm really cursing my "delete button" habit... I THINK he was dreamed of, and found innocent.
Farael-Foolofatook unknown
Formendabras Took- Ne'er-do-well [/i]Innocent[/i]

So there you have it.

It's either Garin, Roa, Farael, or Alcarillo. If we lynch one today, and the Ranger protects me tonight and I dream of another, tomorrow we will be down to two. The Ranger, assuming he/she is still alive, can protect me for another night, and we can find out for certain.

At least, I THINK that can work... I never did like this math stuff well enough to be good at it.

I might be confused, Formendabras Took, and even though I'm still not up to date on the discussions here's one little thing... Why would you declare yourself as a known innocent (even if not gifted) if you were actually a second Seer? That'd mean the death of you, and you are pretty useful to us to just give yourself away.

Now, conveniently, Morm is dead and there is no-one to deny your claim. I guess we shall know soon, as if you trully are who you say to be, you won't last two nightfalls. The only problem is that by then, the damage will be done, discussion skewed and the village all but lost.

It just seems too convenient for Formendacat to claim to be a known Innocent when in fact he's a known dreamer, which means he may be a gifted.... or a cat.

I know a motion to lynch him will only get me lynched.... thus here's my offer.

I appear as unknown in both Formendacil's supposed innocent list and in Roa's compilation of Morm's posts.

I am innocent, but you will only believe it once I'm dead.

So I say, lynch me today as I don't think I'll be able to help the village too much. Lynch someone else tomorrow but keep in mind that should Formendacil trully be the seer, he'll be dead two nights from now. If he is and the cats don't kill him, he will have found a werecat by then and so they'll loose anyway....

So I say

++Farael

And choose wisely whom to lynch tomorrow, from the "unknowns" that Formendacil says to have, choose thoe most suspicious... and if Formendacil is still alive the following night, lynch him... he's a werecat.

If you think that it'd be too bold a move to pull off, you don't know Formendacil. That guy will do anything to win. I've seen it.

Also, I was wondering.... is the new Seeker, assuming the dreamer dreams of him, able to comunicate with the old seeker? As far as I know, there is nothing pointing towards that in Valier's original post..... furthermore, should Formendacil trully be a "known innocent" and given that (obviously) the protector did not protect Diamond.... his reasoning is confused, as it is possible (if not likely) that he was protected last night Thus, he gets only one night of protection.

We know Form isn't a Cat because Valier requested a message from the Lone Cat at the close of yesterDay.

*shakes head* A seer should never advocate the innocense of someone they aren't sure of. It throws the whole village off when they die. Really, Morm.

So, we exchange Garin for Kath on the list. Good thing I hadn't started on that analysis yet. I did analyze Garin on Day 2, but I've been so off this game I don't trust it anymore. The summary is still objective, though, so if someone wants to use that for a head start on him, feel free.

Also, I find you're attempt to discredit Form unnerving. Does this plan give you cause to be nervous?
