WWJ XIII: 'Til Death Do We LARP

At least some people are/were here...

Good that you said that. Maybe it was intended as a funny joke instead of a defense.

But it might have been a clumsy defense as well, and my vote is based on that possibility:

++CaptainofDespair

Check my first post for longer reasoning.

I admit it, it's not a very well-reasoned vote/suspicion, but I think it's closest to one I can make/have at this phase.

Don't except me to be back toDay.

[Anguirel]

The drunkard Thinlomien's vote is, I believe, influenced by time and alcohol more than any nefarious reason - though it could be a way of staying out of the spotlight as a werewolf, I see this as unlikely.

By a slight margin, Durelin remains my strongest suspect for her curious remarks about accusations. But perhaps darker hearts still can be found among those who have yet to speak.

I am tempted to vote in order to provoke a little discussion...

[Boromir88]

Durelin, by no reason am I saying thou art fanged...just that anytime I go on a search team with you, I'm the one that ends up dead. Don't take this the wrong way, but if thou art fanged, I don't want to be dead for real this time.

Thinlo...I really am having trouble understanding your logic...

Perhaps we should keep an eye on both Farael and Durelin.~CoD

I mean I know it's Day 1 and all, and we all are grasping at straws here. But honestly CoD is one of the most innocent looking people (at least to me). Really he is the only one that has spoken some decent sense to me so far (see above quote), instead of complete bilge. I won't cast my vote for somebody that's been trying to make some sense out of the non-sensical Day 1's.

Edit: X-posted with Volo

[Volo]

Volo

Volo had already thrown a few phones into the trees, now only his trusty Nokia 3310 remained in one piece. But even the one piece was of little use, exept as a hammer, with which Volo hammered his own head. "I hate this, I hate this, I hate this..."

"Bdzup", said Volo's phone. He looked at it and found it working! His self-made anoying ring-tone was loud and clear, and anoying. Volo answered the call.

"Hello... Where are you? Are you coming to walk the dogs? Yes, you are, aren't you? ..." It was Volo's friend who was really obsessed with dog walking.

Volo tried to explain his problem, but his friend Kalle, just continued chatting with himself about dogs, he even gave the phone to his dog.

Kalle lifted the phone to his ear at last and asked, "Well?"

Volo sighed and started talking about the situation.

Kalle listened for a while and then said dully, "Oh, I forgot that you had that larp thing going on... But you can come dogwalking tomorrow, can't you?"

"No, this stuff is for real, call for help- Prkl!" The phone lost it's field again. Volo shouted different swearwords in three languages for six hours (that was when I wrote all that /\).


Tom Yrmacha'zul'charach'ping'yit'pul

After shouting bad things (including "Eisenbahn") for a long while Volo finally started turning into Tom Yrmacha'zul'charach'ping'yit'pul the half-balrog. He put on his special balrog-suit and lit it on fire. He checked all his sharp pointy weapons and even put on his wizard hat.

"Ich habe ein Kübelwagen i meine Lederhosen! That's "I'll eat all the wolves that have a nose" in Balrogish. And I mean it! And then again, all this is just Zwei! (You don't want to know what it means )

Dativ! ("Friends", that is.) We must without hesitation boil the wolves and serve them to Morgoth. And I too find CoD rather strange with words like "perhaps" that never sounds like words of a balrog's (try to forget that I'm half-balrog) friend. It is a rather Zwei reason to vote for him though...

Which leads me to hasty Lommy. She... um... he? Zwei! It is a scary creature to go after CoD so quickly, but it is also a bright creature that usually finds the reasons to lynch a wolf. I might be just as hasty having a lethal lack of time.

I'll probably be the whole next day away picking raspberries, or maybe no. But today I might even say something with sense if the time comes.

Bye for now my Dativ!

Thinlómien speaks the truth!

How could anyone suspect her after that?

Volo is not really suspiciouse, but I just had a hard time reading his post. . .I find it kind of annoying.

This post is mostly intended as a statement sayin: I am around for a few hours.

[Volo]

Reading stuff from a bad writer IS anoying. Should I now clap to you for understanding that

[Nogrod]

I see why some people wish see CoD innocent, but are you sure you're not misled here? (Well, no one can be sure, but think again).

I'm not referring to the post Lommy based her suspicion. If you look at it more carefully, you will see that after doubting Farel's point over Durelin, CoD thinks we should look closely both of them...

I need to make myself a dinner, but I'll be back with more time after that.

[Durelin]

Everyone seems to be taking 1st day, joking accusations a little too seriously.

I must say I thought Durelin's attempt to staunch accusations most peculiar. My dear ladies, education, or detective work, can only be brought to tuition by the Socratic method, that is, by questioning, and, ah, accusing.

I staunched accusations? I made a minor (if random) accusation myself.

I guess it's already time to give up the Shatner. No one seems to like his natural...intensity.

About all I can tell so far is that Lommy's vote for CaptainofDespair is bolder than I would expect a wolf to do at this point. Being the first to vote, though, she might have come up with her reasoning...because being the first to vote randomly, without any real reason (which is not uncommon on Day Ones, at least normally...though there hasn't been that kind of excitement yet...) would draw even more attention to her. Ah, I cannot conclude anything. I argue with myself, and tend to lose my arguments.

I will not assume at all, but I will suggest that perhaps it is more likely that all the wolves have posted today than that they have not. It is most wise for a wolf to remain under the radar, but not completely off it (in other words: they have us in their sights but have cloaking devices), for if we are more likely to notice them missing than here and quite but thoughtful.

Unfortunately, quite a number of people are flying under the radar, and perhaps some have tried to do so, but have not been so successful.

I know I am obsessed with radar, but I know from experience when that goes down, you're lost in the dark.

(I apologize for abusing my smilie privileges.)

[Anguirel]

A point of interest: Gurthang and Rikae are so far most notable in their silence. But I suspect that that is not especially meaningful; Gurthang usually talks, argues and flails unless committments hold him back.

I think Lommy's vote is actually an extremely safe bet for a werewolf early on, though of course it doesn't necessarily follow that the drunkard is guilty.

Nogrod, your comment about people wishing to preserve CoD but being misled is pretty blasted cryptic. Enlighten us, if you feel like it.

[Boromir88]

I disagree. There are 14 people in this troop here....3 of whom who have yet to say something, the chances that at least one of those three actually is a wolf wouldn't be at all unusual.

Yes, the wolves do like to get out there and get the village turning (right now, for me, Nogrod, Anguirel, and CoD would fall under here). However, I wouldn't put it past at least one of the wolves to say very little (if anything at all) on Day 1...while one or both of their buddies go out and get their hands dirtied.

On those three above, I probably won't vote for any of them, today...though Nogrod looks the most dangerous (of the three). His suspicion of CoD looks a little bold for a wolf to make, but with his family history I wouldn't put anything past him. So, I guess you could say I'll be watching Nogrod.

[Nogrod]

Okay. I think I can speak of it more openly. I have only hesitated as there is a possibility of making an error, but the more I have thought about this the smaller I see the chances of it.

So look at CoD's first post, the very first post of the game:

I will surely have to wait and allow my superior intellect to grant me insight that the rest of you...commoners...could never obtain.

It's written nicely in the tone of a "Pompous Nobleman", but honestly, what does it look like if not a hint of CoD being the Seer?

Now why on earth would the real Seer do something like that? There is no reason imaginable for her/him to do that, at least as a first post of the whole game! There may be situations where the Seer feels her/himself under pressure to be the next lynchee or kill of the Night and giving hints might be a way of trying to call for help (do not lynch me / ranger help me). Although my lorebooks seem to indicate that that kind of hints are no good in the end and the Seer has only two viable options: openly revealing her/his role or just staying silent and wishing for the best.

So CoD is not the real Seer.

Would an innocent villager try tro make her/himself to look like a Seer? I do see a point for that kind of action. If the villager feels that the real Seer is in trouble, s/he might try to sacrifice her/himself for the common good and act as a bait for the wolves. But why to do something like that in the first post of the game?

So CoD is no ordinary villager either...

Would a wolf do something like that? If s/he hasn't thought through all that I have written up here, s/he might think it a good idea. Many enough of us might note the "hint" and stay quiet about it being afraid we would reveal / lynch our Seer - and what's most important, they would not vote her/him! The real Seer coming forwards later in the game would not be an issue because the impostor could always say that it was not meant to be a Seer-hint as it was somewhat vaguely formed and in-character...

So the only person I see having any reason at all to pose as a Seer is one of the lycanthrope kind.

That was what I tried to say - and do say.

EDIT: X'd with Boro...

[Gurthang]

(Note: Italics represent the moments when I lapse from clergy/preacher guy into my role-playing cowardly knightness.)

Friends! I aplogize for my late arrival, and regret that I will make but few appearances over the next few days.

Hiding is the safest way to not get killed, after all.

Anyway, I think it best to first have a small burial for our recently deceased, myself presiding of course. I wish to have a proper sending for our dearly beloved as they move on their way to a better place. It's the right thing to do.

Now, I should underscore the predicament we are in. I'll remind you that prayer is the best for this situation. The Good Book says, "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." We should treat them as we would want them to be treated. Don't you think they'll respond well to that?

Or they might just kill us all without any resistance whatsoever! I say a direct frontal attack.... or a quick retreat; yes, retreat is always a good idea!

Hmm... yes, I suppose we must do something. "God helps those who help themselves"... true, it's not in the Bible, but it makes a lot of sense. We need to find a way to stop these foul demons and send them back to their master!

Now, for the hard part.... which of you are these foul beasts? *scans crowd* I'm not good at judging; I always see the best in those around me...

Well, for lack of a better reason:

++Anguirel

Since he seems more worried about the wolves poetic abilities than finding out who they are. (And for old times sake. I'll hopefully return to switch my vote. I just wanted to get that one out there. )
